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.”

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.

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

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.
