R owe As the tim e ap proaches for p a rty conventions, th e voting citizen begins to 1 m * a little w orried about the choice of candidates w hich m ay lx* offered him com e next N ovem ber. Som e of th e m ore serious ones a re even beginning to doubt the reliab ility of e ith e r p arty . T he D em ocratic p a rty is definitely a t a low’ ebb, stam ped as it is w ith th e co rru p tio n which com es to any group too long in control. T h eir only hope is a leader not involved in the p re sen t governm ent mess. K e fau v er would seem to be th a t m an. H ow ever, since no m achine ev er q u its running for sen tim en tal or sensible reasons, it is highly probable th a t th e new -deal, fair-deal bigwigs will risk losing the presidential jackpot in o rd e r to nom inate one of th e ir own hirelings as a sort of wolf in donkey’s clothing. T h e R epublicans face th e ir g re atest o p p o rtu n ity since H oover’s m o rtg a g e w as foreclosed in 1932. Yet they a re alread y beginning to act in th e ir usual stum bling, bungling m anner. W ith R epublicans ev e ry w h ere praying for an o u tstan d in g leader, a m an in whom all can have confidence, E isenhow er would seem th e logical answ er. B ut again. Eisenhow er, as K efauver, is not a p a rty m achine m an, and ao it m ay w-ell be th a t th e tw o conventions m ay ignore th e people’s choices in the in tere st of selfish p a rty (xditics. W h ere th e people have voted in prim aries, K efau v er and E isen how er have tak en o u tstan d in g leads. W here political p arty p o ten ta te s have selected can d id ates through h o rse-trad in g and p o rk -b a r rel prom ises, th e tw o m en have been ignored. T h e very tact th a t E stes and Ike a re not the fair-haired boys of th e p a rty m achines m ay bo the very clue th e A m erican v o ter is seeking. If the p a rtie s are sm art, they will heed th e choice of the people for those sam e people a re g ettin g m ighty fed up w ith po lit ical m onkey-shines. If th e re w as ever an ap p ro p riate tim e for th ird p a rty to win an election, it is now. P.
