SEATTLE, June 20.-Maynard

professor who was the Socialist
Party's vice presidential nominee
in 1910, says he is quitting the
party after Is years membership.
Mr.. Krueger, here as a lecturer

At the same time, he Endorsed

he still was in sympathy with

but not with the party in the

are people who rate modesty and
sincerity high on the list of hu-

To such people, it may not mat

farm policy. It may not matter
that he can have been campaign
ing actively for more than two
weeks with never a single plug

The incredl Die feature about
Gen. Eisenhower Campaign up to
this point is that he has promised
so little in terms of traditional
politics. A cynic sums up the gen

One phase of the operation. at

From this end of the line. it
loobs as if the situation in Texas
may oackflre to the gene, VS. ad-
vantage. More thin one Taft sup
porter has made it clear that he
disapproves of the lness that has
developed there over seating OF
Eisenhower delegates and has been
disturbed over the Senator's re-
action. The same might be said
of charges that the Taft steam
roller is building up pressure in
Chicago. One gets the impression
that the rank-and file delegate
will not be complaisant about any
political shenanegans that may
develop.
