he seems the best This situation
easily may change before the con-
ventiOn. 1t is possible he might not
get the Eisenhower convention sup
port. 1t is also possible that after
his nomination the President might
not be able to transfer his own big
personal following to his choice
There are some striking instances
where presidents Of great popu-
larity failed to transfer their per
sonal following to someone of their
choice. Perhaps the most striking
in our time was in 1898. when the
late President Roosevelt undertook
to purge the Democratic senators
he had not been able to coerce in
to supporting his radical, New Deal
program. One of these was former
Senator Willard Tydings of Mary
land. In his case the Roosevelt OPP
position increased rather than de
creased his majority. These are
dangerous days to pr3phesy.

Senate ClOakroom
By j. GLENN BEALL
United States Senator from
Maryland

Maryland, as viSualizcd by re-
porters for three Swiss newspapers.
is "a State which lives above all
from the expectation Of tobacco. 5"
1t is also a State which feels very
near to Switzerland" because it
does not compromise either with
liberty the neWsmen explained to
their readers.
The explanatory comments, in
cluded in stories which the papers
carried concerning Senator j.
Glenn Beall's current official visit
to Geneva, were carried in la
Suisse, Journal de Geneve and La
Tribune.
Clippings of the stories accom-
panied by translatons from the
original French just arrived here.
and judging from their contents,
the Senator received the type of re-
ccption that is a legislators dream
Spirit of Liberty
In La Tribune, for instance, the
article began with, I'm eminent
homme politique american .
The translator rendered that phrase
as An eminent American polti-
clan
Additional background for the in
terview was provided through such
remarks as:
Maryland is in majority Demo-
cratic, but Senator Beall is himself
Republican. which shows the
States spirit of liberty and toler-
ance.'
Freedom of Commerce
It was the Senator's philosophy
on trade which made the greatest
impression on the Swiss newsmcn,
however
one newspaper ran this quote
from the Senator
I'm the realm OF exchange, we
recommend freedom ct commerce
in order that other countries can
buy what we produce"
Another paper attributed the fol-
lowing statement to him:
We want YOU to continue to buy
our tobacco. and We also want YOU

less continue to urge the Warren
nomination on the ground that he
would be sure winner. Also. they
urge that Notwithstanding the com
pleteness with which he has eX-
pressed his determination to re-
main on the court, Mr.. Warren
would yield to the urgent request
OF the President to resign and run.
The answer to this, of course is
that, first the Chief Justice could
not be influenced by 4 presidential
request to break pledge solemnly
made only a few months ago: sec
ond. that the request would GER
tainly not be made by a President
who deeply reveres the Supreme
Court and firmly believes all its
members should keep "aloof from
politics.
In brief, no one who really knows
the President, who cant run be-
cause of his illness, and knows the
Chief Justice. who might be
elected regards the argument that
the President would make the re-
quest or if made that the Chief
Justice would accede, as in the
least valid. Accepting this as cor
rect, the predicament in which the
Republican managers are left
seems really difficult Faced by two
outstanding party men, each of
whom one for one reason and one
for another are debarred from
running, they are forced to choose
among candidates who, however
worthy are concededly on lower
level.
Considering these facts, the prob
lens confronting the Republican
leaders seem clear enough. The
Chief Justice not only has no great
national following but as Chief
Justice would be debarred from
any campaign participation after
the convention dominates. On the
other hand, the President not only
has a vast public following in the
nation, but very properly could use
every effort to throw that following
to the Republican candidate. OBJ
if, as now seems likely, Mr..
Eisenhower RECEIVERS sufficiently to
do everything except run again, he
will be sufficiently influential to
nominate the man he wants when
the convention meets. Almost GER
tainly that man would be his Vice
President Richard Nixon.
Unquestionably he is the logical
man. He is the right age-43. His
record in House and Senate is all
to the good He is an excellent
speaker and an effective campaign
er, an able, honest man. There is
against him and he is ut

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1955-10-13

However, there are two assump-
lions which seem safe to make. No.
is that Mr. Eisenhower, despite
hopes in the hearts of many. is IL
rcvocably out as the convention
nominee No. ,, that Chief Justice
Earl Warren is also irrevocably
out. Recently Notwithstanding his
unequivocal statement last month
on this subject the Chief Justice
privately has repeated that under
no circumstances would he leave
the Supreme Bench. No real friend
of Mr.. Warren and no real friend of
the court would want him to violate
that pledge. Probably he could be
elected. but that merely makes his
fIat-footed refusal to be considered
the more admirable. Further. it re-
Iieves the apprehensions of mil
lions Of Americans, whose basic be-
lief is that the Supreme Court is
and always should be completely
aloof from politics. The firm stand
of the Chief Justice is a rebuke to
certain Of his colleagues who, after
their elevation to the highest bench
in the world, continue to mingle
with low-grade labor politicians
and ostentatiously hold themselves
open to promotion" not only to
the Presidency but to the Vice
Presidency.
