Republicans at OtL.
The Republican party. It
lost the presidency in 1332, .
missed opportunity after upper: i n
ity to regain the majority portion
because of really great differences
among its leadership, but c\ on
more, because the presidency h: s
become a lure that corrupts men. 1
Once a Republican is smitten by;
the virus of pro. idential ambition.;
his personality take on the des- j
perations of autointoxication. Pcr_ |
haps that is not the science cf it . i
but they look queer; tluy ue. Q' e. .. . |
and they say things which bring J
joy to the heart cf every Dc.no-1
oat. Republican candidates fot i
the presidency usually talk them
selves out of the job, and often they ,
do it even before the convention.
That would not be such a ca-;
ta .irophe, one woy or the oihei.i
if the Democrats came up with a |
worthy candidate. In 1941. they i
gave us a fourth term for the dy- j
ing Roosevelt, who soon enough
gave the country Yalta- and his j
Catafalque at Kvde Park. Any Re
publican with courage and convic- j
tion should have defeated Roo c- i
velt in 1944, but Dewey muffed i..|
Whereupon, Harry Truman be
came President and the Democrats
have since been laboring upon a
formula for defeating him without
defeating then*elves. At the 1943]
convention, he w..; unwanted. But
out of all the millions of Demo
crats in the Uni.ed S' e-. they j
seemed to be able to find no i.; * ’
the choice i ■ 1 '.4ng *'•'*'
Harry Truman and 5* nry A. .
with Ju lies Dju das cf t Su
preme court r. a lame ru r
So they took Truman nd 1
no end of trouble ince.
The Republicans nsiroir,' cc
Thomas E. Dewey to tun ‘
Truman, hoping that hi really f n<
ricord a*t an a , in: r.i, .r m to
state of New York would w»:i h ’
vote:. But Dewey is a compie . pi -
scnnlity who probably, in hi ab- i
ccn.'cious, i'. be roil v.itn muc-i ,:1 j
‘.he fripperies >f p-.'i and who j
runs counter to me - in lit < V r'!■
on international affair.:.
The real strength of the Republi
can party lies west of the Hud - u
River, while cast of that lowly
stream is a confusion of European
and European-minded American*
who arc called “International!! t
by those who dislike them and
“Globalists" by them elver. And
their heart is in the city cf Lon
don. For psychological rca on
which I rifri' "itdt Competent' id 'an
alyze, Dewey, who comes from Ow
os. o, Michigan, and should nor
mally di-like this Wall : fit a!-1 • -rk
Avenue concept of life, ha: actu
ally become its philosopher. That
tli 1 much to defeat him in R'4i.
:nd has eliminated him from pre i
i filial prospects in 1952.
The Dewey-Stassen emphasis on
General Eisenhower as the Repub
lican candidate for the Presidency
Is splitting this party wide ope
again and should be most comfort
ing to the Democrats.
Here in New' York, the Eisen
I ower candidacy is most popular,
particularly among Republican bus
inessmen, Democrats and Liberals.
The reason for this excitement is
Starts Saturday

AWARD? I
•<»»♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦
that they fear that Robert A. Taft
might be nominated. Even more,
some of them fear that he might
be elected. Such people as suppor
ted Wiiikic in 1940 and Stassen in
1948 tend to be for Elsenhower now.
Dewey is publicly for Eisenhower.
They will do anything to defeat
Taft and I fear that anything
might even mean electing a Demo
crat.
Their diificulty is, of course, that
Fisenhower has put himself above
party, and his protagonists are
running a propaganda that he
would only run if co-opted and
that he would prefer to run on
both parties. That is an offensive
notion ta most Americans who
cannot believe that any human be
ing is bigger than God, no matter
v ho he is. Those who place Gen
eral Elsenhower on that unfortun
ate pinnacle do him a disservice.
Ke. I am sure, has no such aspir
ations.
Apart from that, the General will
not say that he is a Republican
nor has he registered as such. Even
Wendcl Willicie, the Tammany
Democrat,, switched and registered
rs a Republican. If General Eisen
hower does not register as a Re
publican in the 1951 election,
whether he is in Europe or here,
it will be a strong argument against
him. The Republicans, on the whole
would prefer someone who says
that he belongs to them.
So there is a fight on and it is
going to be very nasty and might
even restore Harry Truman’s good
humor.
