Republicans Pick Only Possible Man
W hen news cam e th a t D w ight David (Ik e) E isenhow er had t>een
n o m in ated on the first ballot a t th e R epublican convention at C hi
cag o last F riday, th e re w as g re at rejoicing am ong people of B rookings
fo r th ese people felt th a t at last the R epublican p a rty had com e up
w ith a can d id ate w ith p o p u lar appeal who could c a rry th e b an n e r for
t h e G. O. P. and have a chance to win. Ik e has th a t appeal, as m ay
b e a t t e s t e d by the p rim ary votes of th e m any s ta te s in recent m onths.
T h e E isenhow er forces did not win as easily as m ay have sounder!
o v er the radio. T h ere w ere th re e days of d e b a te over seatin g dele
g a te s from G eorgia, L ouisiana and T exas. In these d eb a te s an b a l
lo tin g the E isenhow er forces gained in s tre n g th for it w as first re
p o rte d these s ta te s w ere for T a ft. F eeling ra n high all th ro u g h the
convention as th e "old g u ard m achine" trie d to do m in ate the p a rty
in this convention as it had in m any of th e past conventions.
G en eral D ouglas M ac A rth u r and H e rb ert H oover tried to sw’ay,
by inference, th e th in k in g to w ard T a f t’s candidacy, but th e delegates
had nothing to do w ith th ese speeches, for they knew th e p o p u lar
apiw al of th e ir co n stitu e n ts at home, and w hat they m ust do in o rd e r
to give th e R epublicans a chance in the 1952 election.
D ra m atic w as th e nom ination sjieech for G eneral E isenhow er, m ade
by th e R epublican governor of D em o cratic M aryland, w ho claim ed
th a t only " Ik e ’ could dip into th e D em o cratic S outh to get any votes.
T h ey also told of the hu n d red s of th o u san d s of independent v o ters
w ho would be likely to push Ik e's election. Then, he also sta te d ,
th o u san d s of ex-soldiers of W orld W ar 2 would flock to th e sup p o rt
c f th e m an whom they knew had th e s ta te sm a n sh ip to u n ite a
divided E u ro p e in 1944, and sta g e th e g re a te s t m ilita ry victory of
h istory. " Ik e ,” he also em phasized, "w as unspoiled by jxditics, and
Since he had not sought th e nom ination, w as not pledged.”
E isenhow er, w ithout question, seem s to be th e first leadership to
be put up by th e R epublicans in th e past q u a r te r ce n tu ry . At any
r a te he is the only sta n d a rd b e a re r th a t will have a chance to win.
It m ust be rem em bered th a t in th e past tw en ty years, th e D em o
c ra tic p a rty has laid its ground-w ork well, has a m achine th a t will
not be easy to unseat. It is th e d u ty of th e R epublicans, and now
w ith Ike, to m ake the change com plete, or forever forget th e nam e
of the R epublican p a rty as one of pow er in this country.

W o u l d m ention th e Republican

exception, the choice of the con
vention m et w ith th e approval oi
the m arjo ritv . E isenhow er didn't
seek th e nom ination. It was th ru st

will also be expected to n w k e a
good p resid en t and th e fir|A th « ‘A
R epublican p a rty h as offered to
the people who has a chance to
win th e election.
D eeply intrenched, d ue to the
tw e n ty years in office, the D em o
crats are not going to be easily
voted fro m office.
E isen h o w er's
popular appeal, which T a ft, S ta s
sen and o th er did not have, xcill
com e nearer w inning fo r the ,G.
O. P. than anyone else. I t is on
this belief th a t the R epublicans
m ay be exp ected to go “all o u t '
before th e N o vem b er elections.
Also ap p ealing to th e independ
ent and yo u n g er v o ters is Nixon,
vice p resid en tial can d id ate, who,
at 39, is th e youngest ev er to com
p ete for th is high office. Nixon,
it m ust be rem em bered, m ade a
nam e for him self in th e A lger Hjps
case, and is a definite foe of th e
people w ith R ussian leanings.
The eyes of the w orld now are
focused on th e sa m e co n ven tio n
