By LYLE C. WILSON

WUamUt. Mar M. 'IMS
er. Franklin D. Roosevelt was
the far-seeing politician who
shifted the Democratic conven
tion to second place after many
years had established a tradi
tion that his party teed off first.
Liked Short Campaign
FDR also forced both conven
tions into July. June had been
the customary convention
month until Mr. Roosevelt came
along. He held that there was
too much dead time between the
nominating conventions and the
election. FDR liked a short and
sharp campaign and held that
September was the time to start
it.
His maneuvering left the
Democrats wun a real advan
tage this year in holding the sec
ond convention because the man
and platform put up by the Re
publicans probably will help
Democrats to determine their
own choice and strategy.
Would Want Defenders
Republican nomination of
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, for
example, would pitch the entire
campaign on domestic issues.
There is not much difference be
tween the Eisenhower and Tru
man foreign policies.
Against Eisenhower, the Dem
ocrats would want their most
vigorous defenders of Truman
domestic policy. Vice President
Alben W. Barkley would be as
handy with that as any Demo
crat. Sen. Estes Kefauver of
Tennessee, Sen. Robert S. Kerr
of Oklahoma, and some others
would be well qualified.
Republican nomination of Sen
Robert A. Taft would make for
eign policy the top campaign is
sue and the Democrats would
draft their platforms and, per
haps, nominate their ticket ac
cordingly. Gov. Adlai E. Steven
son of Illinois has a foreign back
ground. So does W. Averell
Harriman.
Might Weaken Position
It has been suggested, too, that
Stevenson's determination not to
be a candidate for Democratic
presidential nomination this year
might weaken more than some
what if Taft were nominated.
Also that Stevenson would firm-

Picking Price for
Strawberries Talked
Salem (U.R) It looks like
the picking price for strawber
ries in the Willamette valley
this season will be four and five
cents a pound.
Growers met with State Lab
or Commissioner William E.
Kimsey here Tuesday night.
They did not come up with a
definitely established price but
they made this provision;
If the cannery price is less
than 17 cents a pound the pick
ing price will be four cents plus
a half-cent bonus for picking
out the season.
If the cannery price Is 17 cents
or more, the picking price will
be four and one-half cents plus
the half-cent bonus.
Last year's picking price was
cents plus the half-cent bon
us. ly reject a bid to run against
Eisenhower.
Any of the others, including
Barkley, doubtless would accept
with enthusiasm an opportunity
to run against any Republican,
even Taft and Eisenhower on
the same tickt.
Win or lose, a presidential
nomination looks good ln the
record books. V v
