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.

Republican policy holds that the best way to solve the cost of liv­
ing problem is to cut the cost of government and reduce taxes—
that is, to attem pt to check inflation at the top, and to allow the
people more take-home pay to buy things with. 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.

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

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.
