any vacancy filling move Of that
kind.
Other Suggestions
There are suggestions, how
ever. that the convention in
corporate In its official rules OF
at least spell out In a specific
resolution a clear-cut require
ment that the national COM
mittee take no final action
without first taking several other
steps.
The holding of another ma
tional convention might be i'm
practical from the standpoint
OF time. expense and conven-
fence. The national committee
according to one view, ought to
poll all delegates on the choice
Of anyone to fill q vacancy on
the presidential or vice presi-
Dental ticket.
The Republican National Com
mittee which could fill a va
cancy would not be entirely the
same as the national committee
which served during the con-
vention. Newly elected members
take ONCE Immediately after the
convention. 3 "
Still another factor under
stood to be Of some concern to
opponents Of Vice President
Nixon Is that the national COM
mittee, in all likelihood. would
lose no time in naming him to
fill the presidential nominee
vacancy if President Eisenhower
withdrew before the election.
Since the first Republican Ma
tional Convention in 1856 the
national committee has had only
one opportunity to I'LL a vacancy
In the national ticket. James
s. Sherman, renominated with
President Taft In 1912, died in
October Of that year. The COM
mittee named Nicholas Murray
Butler. Within a month Mr..
Taft and Mr.. Butler were de-
feated.

Gov. Langlie was regularly hold

semipro team Of his volunteer
fire department in Seattle. He
gave 1t up only when his boss
told his grufly that he would

Change Discussed
On the eve Of the convention
some rules committee members
and others are informally dis
cussing-with a touch of contro.
versy at times-the ACCESSIBILITY
of making stronger provision tc
meet any possible withdrawal Of
the party's presidential or vice
presidential candidate between
the end of the convention and
election November 6.
One group, while disavowine
any hush-hush attitude, would
let procedures stand as they
have for many years. The other
group repeatedly favors facing
the problem at this time and
spelling out in considerable de-
tail the steps that ought to be
followed.
The 1852 Republican National
Convention rules, which are
likely to be adopted for the most
part in substantially the same
form by the convention this
week, say nothing about filling
vacancies in the national ticket.
1852 Resolution
A resolution adopted by the
1852 convention, but not bind
ing on the present convention,
declared:

National Committee be and

party is adopting in this election
year. The suave exterior, how
ever. conceals a number of strong
political feelings. and, when the
occasion calls for it. a forceful
way of expressing them to any,
one who will listen.
AS a political figure, Gov
Langlie is something of an I'M

the main ingredients of his ca

role on the national stage from
