Could It Be Heinie

Albert White, General Counsellor of the Republican party in Alaska, just back from the Chicago con- vention reported in Juneau that Alaska made significant gains at the COP conclaye. One of the gains he reported, was that Gen. Eisen- hover, if elected. had promised to appoint an Alaskan as Governor.
 Don't suppose it could be Senator Gerritt "Heinie" Snider of Wasilla, who not only came up with nice S6O0 set of urs for Mrs. Eisenhow- CT but before the roll call was an nounced on the first ballot switch ed his vote to Eisenhower?

It seems that Clarence Anderson, director of the Territorial Department of Fisher ies. decided to build fish way ov- CT on Afognak Island with the idea of opening up some new spawning area. When the first bill came through. a little matter of some thing over $6.0OO (see news story elsewhere) Auditor Neil Moore turned it down. He pointed out that under existing law public works undertaken with Territorial funds must be approved by the Superintendent Of Public Works who happens to be Highway En- gineer Frank Metcalf Fisheries head Anderson says Moore is nc judge whether his fisheries project is feasible.

Small Clique Sees Party

But now-holding that vision
for our party-I come down here

when I speak to you. Texas Re-
publicans, I am also speaking
to your Republican compatriots
In good government in your
neighbor state of Louisiana.
Instead Of a national party,
what have you got? You have a
small clique Of Republicans who
look upon our party as their

They seek to maintain it for
their special advantage.
On every post they have
nailed up signs that read: keep

Ladies and gentlemen, those
who try to keep the Republican
Party as their private preserve
are not worthy Republicans.
Their principles are not Repub-
ncan principles.
You and I want to see a strong
Republican Party in Texas, in
Louisiana. and in every State Of
the South. There is only one
way to make it strong. That is
to have it led by Republicans
who will look on the party as
something bigger than them

pose for the party that is above

No Party Con Tolerate

The principles of the Repub-

Majority Rule Policy
FIouted and Overridden

Remember next that we want
a party that will attract our
youth. Well, good many weeks
ago I heard how your young
people here in Texas were NOV

according to the rules laid down
by ourselves. They went to work
for the party at the precinct
level. They rang doorbells. They
addressed envelopes. They did
the down-to-earth drudgery
that is an essential part Of the
business of self-government.
That was good news to me.
Then later I heard of the
great betrayal of these young
people. Let me tell you. that was
a betrayal Of the whole Repub-
lican Party and its principals.
A party can not have room for
victory that does not make room
for youth.
Instead Of the great upsurge
OF moral and spiritual strength
we need. how sadly must we look
on what has happened here.

Republican voters - an over

Balance of Power Rests
With Independent Vote

Some people do not seem to
be impressed by these facts. The
truth is, we seem to have this
year a new kind of boilers on
our hands. They are the ones
who try to bolt the doors of en-
trance into our party to keep out
disturbed and diSilluSioned Dem.
orcrats. The only sound Repub-
lcan policy is an open door
policy. We Republicans must
stage q nationwide political
revival that will result in a
lot of Democratic conversions.
And those who disparage the
independent vote forget that
their vote is the balance of
power in our national elections.
I am not for spurning the inde-
pendents. I am for opening the
door and inviting them to join
us. That, I repeat, is because !

PU'OO SCSb6 W NCHs EtSCNftUWST
dinner address tonight:
I am happy to end this event.
ful Texas day with my friends
and my fellow Republicans in
this lovely city of Dallas in the
State of my birth.
Tonight I am going to talk to
you about the Republican Party.
We expect our party to win next
November. We want it to win,
not for our advantage but for
the country's good. I am con-
vinced that if the Republican
Party does not win, we will
seriously risk the existence of
our American two-party system.
That system is vital to our form
of Government. But it is an
empty phrase when any party
remains too long in power. That
is a point we have now reached.
AS a result we have a Govern
ment that is ingrown, inbred
and incapable.
But. ladies and gentlemen,
under the best Of circumstances
there will be no easy road to a
Republican victory. To win we
must deserve to win.
Every item in our political
strategy and planning must
start with the fact that the
Republican Party now is the
minority party in the United
States. 1t is minority party by
about four and a half million
votes. Furthermore, about q per
cent Of American voters now list
themselves as Independents. In
1948, 81 per cent of those In
dependents voted Democratic.
So what the Republican Party
needs in order to win next Nov
ember boils down to a matter Of
simple arithmetic. It needs more
Americans who will vote Re-
publican.
Evening star., 1952-06-22
Moral Strength Needed
In Deeds as Well as Words

So, I am going out into the
highways and byways and round
ing up every voter we can get to
vote our way-Republican and
Democratic and independent.
I think the American people
are ready to vote for change.
I think they know pretty well
what they want to change from.
Our job is to offer them some
thing better that they will want
to change to. That's what I
mean by deserving to win."
Moral Strength Needed
In Deeds as Well as Words.
Right here I want to give you
my concept of the future of the
Republican Party. I want to
tell you the things which seem
to me to be essential if our party
is to lead our Nation.
First and foremost, above
everything else, we must have
moral and spiritual strength.
Certain it is that moral strength
is the first essential to gaining
numerical strength.
This requires of us to put our
party above ourselves, and to
put our country above our party.
It requires us to regard our
party as the practical means by
which the well-being of all our
people can be served. And that
means the well-being of all
those who dwell beneath the
protecting folds Of the Stars and
Stripes.
Further, in the midst Of all
our present doubt and indecision
and snarling animositieS, I
want to see our party speak
up for faith and confidence and
good will. I want to see us come
forward with a program which
will help the American people to
give substance to their hopes. I
want to see US speak the Ian
guage of honor and of all that
is best in America and then go
out and prove that we mean to
practice what we preach.
For it is perfectly clear that
moral strength does not come
solely from public. pronounce
ments. It is matter of living
and Of action. Our Republican
deeds must be as good as our
Republican words.
You and I know that the
American people are looking
for a moral rebirth in high
places and in low. It is part of
my belief in the Republican
party that it will lead the way
to that rebirth.
Now, the second part of my
concept for the future Of the
Republican party is that it
should rally to its standards
the youth Of America. Today
voters under thirty years Of
age favor the Democrats by II
per cent. It is an unhappy fact
If our party has been losing
the votes of youth. It is even
worse if we. are losing youths
enthusiasm. courage and vision.
Evening star., 1952-06-22
Party Program Must Enlist
Enthusiasm Of Youth

Can we not present a pro-
gram and a leadership that will
enlist youths enthusiasm. cour-
age and vision. That is the only
way I know by which youth will
be won. The only unanswered
question Is: Will the Republi-
cans be dynamic enough in our
leadership: will we be far
sighted and courageous enough
in our program to meet their
challenge and merit their sup
port?
The third part Of my concept
for the future Of the Republican
Party is that it become q truly
national party. And certainly
one Of It's great opportunities to
become q national party is here
In the Southland where. in the
past. 1t has been little more than
