Lawrence, Publishers WENDELL LAWRENCE. Editor Entered as second-class mail m atter in the post office at Ash land, Oregon, February 15, 1935, under the act of Congress of M arch 3, 1879. AOAI/AEES 1 he entrants in the Presidential Sweepstakes are pawing the grount hard these days, like so many nervous race-horses lined up at the har rier. I his interest, of course, is entirely on the Republican side, in that Mr. 1 ruman undoubtedly will be the standard bearer of his party. However, everything that goes on within both parties necessarily 'car ries at least a faint aura of good old-fashioned party politics. This is perfectly natural— th \\ hite House is the greates of political goals, and for the first time in nearly twenty fears the Republicans have a real chance Winner of Contest To Represent Ashland At State Tournament J On February 6, 1948, the win. ner of a O ratory Contest, under the direction of Mrs. Collins, will go to Linfield, Oregon, to parti cipute in a State O ratory Tourna ment. This contest Is open to all speech students and any other A.H.S. student Interest e d in speech. The rules are sim ple and Mrs. Collins hopes there are m an\ who will take part In this contest. The speech, 10 m inutes in length, m ust be original ahd not over 1.000 words, 100 words of which may be quoted. It should be time ly and to help you, a few suggest ed subjects are: a problem of soc. ial, economic, moral or political importance. Or subject m atter may be about an ideal, immoral practice, a law, a group or a per son. The student who presents his speech most interestingly, com b ining his argum ent with emotion ul appeal, employing m aterials and language that is striking and dram atic, has the best chance 1 be the winner, In any event, the iine-up of favorites now reads, Dewey, T aft, Eisenhower, with the first two far ahead and the third the most promising of the dark horses— a dark horse who could, if the cir cumstances were right, sweep the field as ’W’illkie did in 1940. Gener al M acA rthur’s possible candidacy is not taken too seriously in pro fessional quarters, and late reports indicate that he may have decided to stay in Japan until a peace treaty is concluded. Messrs. Stassen and W arren are openly in the field, but they are long shots. Either of them, however, stands an excellent chance of being offered second place on the ticket should he desire it. Finally, there is the usual leng thy list of favorite sons who have no perceptible chance for anything. ★ ★ * SANTA CLAUS That there is a Santa Claus or isn’t is a problem that has long con fronted parents. Ane mother we know told her offspring that there was a Santa Claus and would be a Santa Claus as long as the children believed that the old gentleman really existed. Ever since then we’ve never dared to stop believing in Santa Claus. Carry your INSURANCE WITH Union Service Station J. F.

Some think Mr. T ru man, for his part, will come out with a different kind of tax reduct ion plan, which would confine cuts pretty much to low-bracket in comes, rather than including the whole income scale. Hs veto mes sage when he returned the tax bill passed at the last regular session of Congress indicated that. like a good race. Ralph A. Foster 237 East Main St. Ashland, Oregon W hether or not the two parties split on the question of European aid, the Marshall Plan, and foreign policy in general, there will be no lack of issues to make the campaign lively. Mr. Trum an will cer tainly go to the country on behalf of his program of rationing and price control. It is almost certain that the GOP standard-bearer will oppose it in practically every particular. There is plenty of dyna mite in this issue alone to keep the contenders going. Price control involves the whole governmental and economic system on which this country is based, and its abysmal failure in Europe will also give the Republicans a strong argument. W hat makes all this particularly im portant is that no one can make a sound guess as to who will win— which is a very different situation than obtained before the last four elections when every dis passionate observer picked Roosevelt. When the Republicans took the House and Senate in the elections of November, 1946, many be gan digging a grave for the Democrats. Then Mr. T rum an’s stock, as revealed by the polls, rose remarkably. A short time ago, in the Ken tucky election, Democrats registered some victories over incumbent Republicans, and this started GOP leaders thinking hard. It looks now as if the election will be very close indeed— the closest since the Wilson-Hughes campaign, when California reversed its usual field and went for Wilson by a narrow majority after Hughes had been all but conceded the winner. However, it is a long time until next November, and in the pre sent state of the country and the world anything can happen. A wor sening or an improvement in the international picture,— a depres sion or a continuation of our money-spending spree— a decline in prices or a further rise in prices— more strikes or a prolonged period of industrial peace— factors such as these could turn the scales, as they have done before. Right now, all that can be said is that it looks 308 N. Main Phone 4371 Ashland Mrs. William H arnden and children, W lllete, and Wad»', are leaving Thursday for Cnrlotta, California to spent! the holidays with Mrs. Ilarndens parents and with Mr. Harnden. Curiously, the Republican who unquestionably has the largest num ber of pledged delegates at present has not even announced his candi dacy. That is Governor Dewey, who holds a substantial margin of leadership when it comes to the statistics. However, this margin is a long way from the necessary majority, and it doesn’t appear to have fattened to any great extent recently. Furthermore, some of the polls indicate that party leaders would prefer Senator T aft, even though he admittedly trails Dewey in sure convention votes. This does not mean that Senator Taft is enthusiastically regarded I by all his colleagues and party-members. Some influential GOP news papers have recently complained that the Senator from Ohio seems to be working on the idea that whatever he says should automatically be accepted as Republican policy. Senator Tobey, the President of the Senate, has openly split with T aft on a number of issues. Sena tor Vandenberg has occasionally shown mild irritation at some of T aft s views on foreign policy. The Republican mavericks, like Morse of Oregon, have little use for the Ohioan and make no bones j about it. T aft is paying a certain penalty for having taken fo rth rig h t, and clear stands on almost everything that now troubles this country and the world. It may be to Dewey’s advantage that he hasn’t been too forthright on the big issues— though he has endorsed the Mar shall Plan and compulsory military training, the last of which T aft solidly opposes.
