Many of the conservative leaders
feel strongly, however, that if the
platform is to appeal especially to
the East, the nominee must be some
one residing in the West or midwest.
That is a simple principle of
practical strategy to which former
President Hoover, among others, is
said authoritatively to subscribe.
Of the men who are, or have
been, in public office and who can
meet that qualification, Mr. Hoo
ver himself stands out most con
spicuously. It no longer is doubted
that a great deal of this strength
will center about him. ,
As for the liberal wing, there re
mains much doubt whether it ac
tually will enter a candidate or will
resign itself to scattering conven
tion votes for favorite sons,, as it
has done so often in the past.
If it does have one outstanding
candidate, every indication now is
that it will be Senator Borah.
Should he decline, the prospect that
there will be any outstanding liber
al candidate is extremely uncertain.
\andenbergs Status
If neither wing of the party dom
inates, and it develops that there
must be a compomise—as many be
I lieve there will be—three alterna
tives must be considered.
The convention could pick a man
who has been close to the problems
of Washington, and has an intimate
knowledge of them, but whose re
|Cord never has tied him irrevocably
with either wing. In this subdivi
| sion. Senator Vandenberg of Mich
igan is today the most widely-men
tioned.
Another approach would be to
choose a man experienced in politi
cal leadership and public office, but
involved only remotely with the is
sues which have been agitating
Washington. Among the availables
of this class, increasing mention is
heard of Governor Landon of Kan
sas.
Finally, it might be considered
best to go entirely outside of offi
cial connections and involvements.
Within this field, the most active
and widespread effort now under
way is on behalf of Frank Knox, the
Chicago publisher. ,
Here are five possibilities; but the
mention of them as symbolizng var
ious trends should not be taken
as excluding others. Nor should
anyone reckon, as of today, what
may happen months hence. The best
that can be said is that the prospect
still is wholly indecisive.
