S o u th ern O regon N ews Review, T hursday, Muy 27, 194H Washington Dipestu Series of Contradictions Marks Political Campaign By BAUKHAGE Acte» Inalyst and C om m entator WASHINGTON—Political currents and cross currents are running high, wide and deep along the Potomac these days. The wave of popularity stirred up by Stassen supporters is not pleas ant for regular Republicans to contemplate. Some of the non-professionals however, particularly those in the Taft corner, are very bitter about it, not because they think that Stassen will get in, but because of the way he has served to block the Taft efforts—despite the fact that those efforts have been labelled, rightly or wrongly, futile from the beginning. Deweyites don't admit they are worrying — but! I talked to one of the Taft men recently. “What makes me sick.” he said, "is the way the people who mg have done their sf best to break down Taft are full of praise for h i m now that t h e y think he is beaten. I They describe his e f f i c i e n c y , his knowledge, h i s f r a n k n e s s , his I grasp of the sub jects he discusses. And they t a l k a b o u t Stassen's vagueness and in ability to answer Taft's charges.” "And these," he wound up, "are the same people who have been shoot ing at Taft ever since he started his presidential campaign.” There is something in what this man says. You would be surprised how many liberals, how many Dem ocrats even, praise Taft privately, would really like to see him elected, but either they can't quite come out oper.ly in his favor, or they take for granted he can't win anyhow. Then there is the gre3t group of R: publicans who are going to vote for Dewey, but act as if they were gritting their teeth in the process. “ What have you got against Dewey?” I ask them. Some are vague, others say the New York governor is a "strad dler . . . an opportunist . . . never comes out for an issne until he sees a Gallup poll on it . . . but I suppose he'll win . . Can he? Since the Stassen hurricane, the oldtimers are talking a little dif ferently about Dewey. Some of them who have predicted right along that Dewey would win now are saying that Stassen has undermined him so thoroughly that now Dewey has no more chance than Taft. And all the time the Vandenberg tide is rising. But here’s an inter esting thing. Way back in Febru ary some very canny observers were saying that Speaker Joe Mar tin of the house of representatives had the best chance of anyone for the Republican presidential nomina tion, in case of the expected Taft- Dewey deadlock. At the time many people were surprised at that opinion. But it wasn't long before we began to see mention of Martin here and there. Then, finally, insiders accepted him as probably the best bet of the sev eral Republican dark horses. I know 1 could feel his popularity growing as I travelled around the country. But then came the surprise move when Martin was credited with bringing about settlement of the coal miners’ pension row—the appointment of Sen. Styles Bridges of New Hampshire as neutral trustee on the pension board with John Lewis and Ezra Van Horn, and the agreement that was reached between Bridges and Lewis. At first the settlement put Martin in a favorable light with the pub lic. Then some of the conservative Republicans who hate Lewis ex pressed their disapproval. There were hints of a “deal” that had been reached between Bridges and Lewis before Bridges was appointed. Dem ocrats charged that Martin was poli ticking. Horn, representing the op erators, appealed to the courts to declare the pension agreement in valid. Martin's stock dropped. And the oldtimers began to say his chances for the presidential nomination were slim. Not so much because of the pension deal itself, but paradoxical ly—and this is one of the accepted paradoxes of politics—because his intervention in the row was taken as a public avowal of his candidacy. Martin ceased to be a dark horse— and as a light horse, he wasn’t con sidered nearly as much of a favor ite The paradox applies to Senator Vandenberg. The Michigan sen ator constantly and consistently has disavowed any desire or in tention of being a candidate for the Republican nomination. If, ac cording to this paradoxical po litical rule, the oldtimers say, he were thrust into the limelight, his cause would suffer too. At this writing, Vandenberg seem s to stand as the No. 1 bet. Stassenites, however, claim that this paradox is all old hat; that times and political thinking have changed. One of the first black marks which the Republican old guard checked against Stassen was the fact that he came right out as a candidate way ahead of time. The traditional thing is to be oh, so coy about it. t Î •eS.fiZ, P a s it y -V! j J, Sermon* to Order "Brethren,” said the minister of a southern church, "brethren, 1’se got a nve-dollar sermon, nti' a two- dollar sermon, an* a one dollar ser mon, an* 1 wants this here meretri cious audience to tuke up a collec tion as to which one of them they cun afford to hear.” 'iT ^ S C R E & iW Simple Dehydrator Saves Garden Crops By IN E Z O E R IIA R D Homemade Apparatus Serves Many Purposes A homemade dehydrator heating unit, which also may be used as a room heater in the home or brooder house, is an economical device and a labor-saver on the farm. Successful drying depends upon re moval of enough moisture from the fruit or vegetables to prevent spoil age. This must be done at a tem perature that does not seriously affect the texture, color and flavor of the vegetable or fruit. Best results are obtained when fruits and vegetables are dried in n dehydrator, like one shown, rather than in the sun. In hot, dry locali ties, however, sun-dried fruits have excellent color, flavor and good nu tritive value. Sun-dried vegetables usually are noticeably inferior to But some observers feel as News week magazine expressed it some time ago: “Stassen’s forthright quest for votes may end much of the tradi tional coyness of aspirants. In the future, it's drought that more can didates will frankly announce their intentions well in advance of elec tion.” Well, maybe. There is plenty of old-line resent ment against Stassen, not only be cause he began an open campaign so early, but also because of the efficient, powerful, highly-organized and aggressive machine he has built up. A right wing Republican I spoke to recently seemed especial ly resentful, grumbling about the ‘ big money” backing Minnesota’s ex-governor, and the New York banking interests "that wanted in.” Senator Taft was reported so furious over Stassen's invasion of Ohio that it was thought that he might forget his rivalry with Dewey and throw his support to the New Yorker earlier in the convention if the deadlock was certain.
