Oi-P. 4 ' National Conclave, Absence of Boss Dictation, impresses Richard Wilmot The unoerity of the men t nd t seemed best to them to try . and women servlne as delegates to , Ret It. the republican national conven tion In Chicago was the predom inating feature of that meeting, according to Richard Wilmot, Sutherlin, who as an alternate at the conclave writes of his im pressions and experiences to the News-Review. Mr. Wilmot was a candidate for delegate from the Fourth Congressional district, but failed of election. He was, how ever, invited to attend as an al ternate and had his first exper ence In such a political gathering. "The trip to -Chicago was made on one train," Wilmot writes. "In cluded In the party were Neil Allen, state chairman; Palmer Hoyt, editor of The Oregonian; Wayne Morse, republican nomi nee for senator State Senator Angus Gibson and many others. "We had an interesting trip with much discussion of politics and little sleep. On arrival we found Chicago was both warm and damp. We took a look at the beautiful park by the lake, wan dered through the Marshall Field big department store, only a block from our hotel, then rode the elevated around the loop. During this ride you1 get a look at some of the blackened tene ments of Chicago and are thankful you Uve In Oregon. t Bigwigs Glimpsed ! "But the, main event, of course, was the convention. Various dele gations had their headquarters in different hotels, but the main cen ter of activity was the. Stevens hotel. Here both Dewey - and Bricker had set up headquarters. Crowds were milling in the lobby and you saw everyone from Leon Hen.icrson, past commander of the OPA, now a radio columnist, to republican big-shots such as Senator Vandenberg Chairman Spangler, Senator Ball and others. Occasionally you obtained Intro ductions to these men. Of course, it does not mean anything to the celebrity, but it is very interest ing to see and speak at close range to these national figures you read about in the papers. "When I started out, two things interested me very much. First, just what kind of people are politicians anyway? Second, just how do these conventions ar rive at their decisions? "The answers rather surprised me. "There were a surprising num ber of young men Jn .delegations, particularly in the one from Min nesota, and there were quite a few scrvicb men, and a large number of women. But this is one place where men still have an opportunity to have their say. "There were some rich men, but the greater number were just ordinary people. The most out standing characteristic was a cer tain force of mind. They were not bashful about who or what they were talking about, whether big names or big money. With this forcefulness of views they coupled a sincere desire to work together. I probably will be laugh ed at for this observation, but I am convinced that the main motivation of those who attended the convention was patriotism. The delegates sincerely want a better America and they did what No Boss Domination "Now to take up the question of how was the decision reached. This convention most certainly was not dominated by bosses. The delegates were primarily in terested in the will of the people.' That will, expressed In 'the polls and through primaries, as well as through conversation among delegates with people at home, was overwhelmingly for Dewey. The surprising Oregon write-in of 50,000 votes for Mr.. Dewey, was an example. Another exam ple is a little experience of mine. I went to Pennsylvania head quarters and talked to some of their top men. Pennsylvania is noted for the hardboiled politics played In that state.- But those men were primarily concerned with the will of the people of their state. There really is some thing to this democracy business. "The reason why only one vote was taken was because the dele gations had held preliminary causuces. At the last previous convention they had held their caucuses on the floor of the con vention, but this time they had reached their decisions at . dele gation headquarters before the actual vote was recorded. In ei ther case, the process was truly democratic, ... "By Saturday night the result could be accurately forecast and by Sunday night it was certain. Governor Bricker was a fighter and he would not admit defeat until the very last. I did not meet a delegate who did not think he was; a good man. Wednesday, when he seconded the nomina tion of Governor Dewey, he re ceived a spontaneous ovation. It comes hard to lose a chance at the presidency of the United States and Bricker was a good loser. All the delegates knew wnai v.sj .--nrnlng .n!j t;;Ey jgjt deeply about it Strong Men Chosen "But the delegates also felt that Dewey, politically, had the better chance to win in November and that he was the real choice of the people, so they did not let their hearts overrule their heads. I doubt If there has ever been a stronger republican ticket. Either man is competent to be president of the United States. "The last major event of 'the convention was the acceptance speech by Governor Dewey. Peo ple;, wondered how he could do - PORTABLE WELDING To save your time and money in ease of a break down we offer you a fast, complete, one trip service which includes an experi enced welder.

Read that speech again; there is a lot of meat in it. There can be no question the republicans have nominated good men. "Lastly, I would like to say that I wish everyone who reads this could have been in Chicago. I think he would have been just a little prouder to Dean American. The ' "hot-cross ! bun" comes from the Greeks and Romans, who ate bread marked with a cross at public sacrifices. Heavy Drop in Hdg Output Indicated Hog numbers are due to be ad justed very sharply toward pre war figures, latest USD A esti mates of farmers' plans on sows to farrow indicate. . Adjustments in pork production planned by farmers appear to be considerably more drastic ; than requested in the WFA's 1944 essary, .adjustment of record live stock numbers into safe relation ship with over-taxed feed sup plies. Spring farrow) ngs are Indi cated as 10 per cent below and fall farrowlngs at 28 per cent be low the 1944 WFA goals. The goals were set 15 per cent below 1943 production for spring far rowings and 9 per cent down on fall farrowlngs. Size of the Indicated reduc tion is from 121,696,000 pips-saved in 1943 to about 87,935,000. This would still be the third larg est pig crop of record J6.634.000 goals as a major step In the ncc-1 below 1942 but 12,600,000 above the 75,330,000 average for 1933 42. The spring pig crop is estimat ed 24 per cent under 1943 and the fall crop 33 per cent down. Biggest percentage decrease Is planned in the western states fol lowed by the estimated drop in the north central states the na tion's pork barrel to 61,526,000 from 1943's staggering total of 85,310,000 pigs saved. Major mo tivation behind the sharp reduc tion in hogs is a combination of the tight feed situation and mar keting problems that plagued the huge 1943 crop. This is evidenced by the -marked decrease in the number of farmers who plan to keep sows.
