selection of Sen. Stuart 8. Syming-
ton as the "likeliest compromise
candidate"
HOW THEY ARRIVED AT
THEIR CHOICES - Perhaps the
most interesting aspect of any poll
is how the voter arrives at his
conclusion. In the case of Nixon
VS.. Rockefeller, the newsmen were
inclined to think along three lines:
% Nixon made himself a very
big wheel by his trip to the Soviet
Union (2) Rockefeller injured him
self by his tax program in New
York state (3) Rockefeller is re-
garded as too liberal and too in
dependent" for the Republican
Party.
On the latter point, many writ
ers felt this would be a distinct
advantage with the voters If he
managed to get the nomination.
So far as the Democrats are
concerned, the newsmen reasoned
along these lines. Kennedy got out
front and is now finding it diff
cult to maintain his early pace.
Symington is slower starting, but
he has many pros" in his corner,
ranging from Harry s. Truman to
the Southern party bosses.
Stevenson, on the other hand,
this time does not appear too
eager for the job. This is always
an advantage. It's the old story
of the LOB seeking the man"
rather than vice versa.
If the reporters turn out to be
right and Stevenson should again
be the nominee, it would be an
interesting twist on Sevareid's
own observation about the 1855
election.
OF the campaign he wrote:
Stevenson charmed the intel
lect; Eisenhower charmed the
heart. All American voters have
hearts, but not all have intellects;
1t was an uneven match from the
beginning"

this sort has a mind Of his own.
He doesn't have to be told" nor
be spoon-fed, he prefers to think
for himself.
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE
WRITER While all this soul
searching is going on about the
function of the political reporter,
think it is Just as well American
journalists remember that the pre-
JUDGED reporting Of 1913 and 1852
did very little to enhance their
status.
In the Dewey-Truman cam
paign everybody was yawning
at pathetic, little old Harry and
were falling over each other tell
ing the world what a great man
Tom Dewey was.
In 1852, the situation was some
what different. Many correspond
ents figuratively fell in love with
Adlai Stevenson. AS his wit and
wisdom became better known they
deluded themselves into thinking
that he was putting these qualities
across to the voters.
Stevenson was charming and de-
lightful but it was obvious to any
one who bothered to talk with an
ordinary voter that he was not
putting himself or his ideas across
Yet II you go back to the
newspaper files you'll find that
some Of those very people who
this year want to tell" the read
er what he fought" to be think
ing are among those who were
predicting Stevenson's election
by a landslide.
This practice of saying some
thing is happening that we only
wish" were happening, naturally
causes the reader to become wary
of the writer. He begins to wonder
If the story is being angled, If the
writer has some pet peeve or some
special favorite. Eventually the
reader grows suspicious and hi
concludes you can't believe what
you read in the papers"
Calm, detached, factual report
ing is needed most when everyone
else is losing his head. This veal

ware; let the writer also beware

What precipitated it has been
publication of CANDIDATES
1867, the book Of intimate presi-
Dental profiles edited by Eric Sew
areid, with chapters by nine lead
ing news correspondents. Since
wrote the foreward I make no
pretense of being a disinterested
bystander.
The book has generally been well
received across the country. The
only serious criticism, in fact, has
come from British writers and has
been directed to one point, which
lies at the heart of the current
controversy: Is the book collective
to a fault? This idea was sug'
gested by a writer for the Londor
Observer who reviewed it for The
washington POST.
These views may be shared BY
a few American columnists, but
are not held by most of the polit
ical analysts who have reviewed
the book up to this time. The idea
though, is worth examining.
The way I see it those who ar
que along these lines are saying
% that they are baffled by the
wide variety of candidates avail
able, especially among the Demo
Gratis and (2) they want to b.
told who is best fitted to servt
as the next President of the United
States.
The authors of the book, on thu
other hand, felt that to adopt {
well tell 'em" approach is thu
wrong way to go about narratinl
the stories of Symington, Hum
phrey, Kennedy, Stevenson, John
son, Rockefeller, Nixon and tn,
others.
We have a tradition In Amer
lean journalism known as "1et
the facts speak for themselves"
In no area, 1t seems to me, Is 1t
more important for writers to
cling to this tradition than In
the area Of political cOverage.
The writer who feels he mus
lecture" his reader unconsciousl!

presentation of the facts and fac
cts of a candidates personality.
