Top Effort Asked
To Back Election
Of GOP Candidate
Washington (U.R) Republi
can National Chairman Arthur
E. Summerfield said here the
GOP "must enlist in our cause
millions of good Americans who
have been awakened to the need
to serve their country through
political action."
Summerfield, in his first pol
icy statement since nomination
of Dwight D. Eisenhower as Re
publican presidential candidate i
and his own election as national
chairman, said a GOP "victory
next November will be gained
only through peak efforts of
every segment of our party
organization."
Must Back GOP Ticket
"If America is to be liberated
from control by those who have
led us into one disaster after
another." Summerfield said, "it
is imperative that Dwight D.
Eisenhower and Richard M. Nix
on be elected next November
'It is equally imperative that
the voters choose a Republican
Congress and Republican offic
ials everywhere so that the task
of revitalizing our country in
its greatest hour of crisis can
go forward without delay."

Editorial Correspondence
Rockford, 111., July 17 Unless
or SOMEthing this offering won't appear much before the Demo
cratic convention begins. So better say something about THAT.
Who will head the ticket? And who will be No. 2?
Unlike most of the modern political prophets, we not only
don't know, we haven't the faintest idea.
We do know or THINK we know which amounts to much
the same thing who WON'T be.
The Democratic presidential candidate will NOT be a man or
woman President Truman opposes.
It is reported that H.S.T. does not want Estes Kefauver, nor
Adlai Stevenson. If that is TRUE you can cross them off the
list right now. The President of the United States is too powerful
in his party, and too strong a character to have his WISHES re
garding his successor, opposed or ignored. But the report may not
be true.
So we return again to the "Big Guessing Game."
If that report is NOT true if H.S.T. would not oppose either
of these two men, then we would advise J. P. Morgan to put his
money on that smooth-talking coonskin-cap campaigner of Ten
nessee Kefauver.
For Kefauver, like Taft, enters the stockyard arena far out in
front. UNLIKE Taft he has demonstrated charm, cleverness and
personal popularity not with the party bosses, but with the rank-and-file.
That adds up the vote-getting ability, and that is the
biggest talking-point any candidate can have in ANY national
convention.
In other words, assuming Mr. Truman will not oppose Kefauver
then "Mr. Coonskin" would be our favorite to win the brass ring
for a free-ride on the merry-go-round.
But let it be assumed he fails to make the grade. What then?
Then our guess would be and all of this, of course, is pure
guessing there would be an EFFORT on the part of the delegates
to draft Governor Stevenson. Stevenson undoubtedly is their all
around strongest candidate. But according to the best information
we could secure when in Chicago, he honestly doesn't WANT to
run against Eisenhower and if offered the nomination will re
fuse it.
If under such circumstances Stevenson should somehow be
forced to make the race, against his wishes, it will be the first case
of the kind in American history. We would not wager a plugged
nickel on it.
Returning to the candidates we are morally certain WON'T
be successful, we would place Senator Russell of Georgia, first.
Under no conceivable circumstances can we picture the Demo
cratic party choosing a "rebel" from the Deep South, and a strong
believer in "White Supremacy" to lead their party in 1952. The
party leaders may have slight hopes of victory but it is hard to
believe they have become so desperate as to choose political suicide.
And with northern prejudice against the Deep South what it is
particularly in the large cities suicide is exactly what it would be.
- As stated before in this department, we have at no time been
able to take the Harriman candidacy SERIOUSLY.
Harriman has been a sort of trouble-shooter in foreign rela
tions for the Truman administration, and from the first we have
explained the support he has received from President Truman as
a candidate in this campaign, along that line. A political "trouble-
shooter" whose first assignment was to kill off Coonskin Kefauver.
This Averell did in the District of Columbia but it is hard to
imagine his doing so anywhere else.
Which brings us where?
Pretty much to where we started from namely we haven't
the faintest idea of what the result in this second 3-ring circus
and side-show will be.
We have some idea of who the candidates WON'T be, but very
little of who they will be. ,
In fact in all the years we have attended national conventions
we can recall only one where the result was such a question-mark.
That was the Democratic conclave where McAdoo killed off Al
Smith and John W. Davis won the . nomination. Davis was then
generally known as a rich and successful Wall Street lawyer and
although no insurance actuary will believe it he still is! (In fact
he was one of the upper-bracket attorneys to plead for US Steel
in the recent Supreme Court seizure case and he won out.)
That, however, was not a matter of SELECTION, but ex
haustion. We can't recall the exact number of roll-calls, but we do re
member getting into a Pullman berth around 5 a.m. on a train
whose conductor promised to get us to Chicago in time to catch
the "Overland" to the coast and did just that.
Of course, if anything like that should happen again, Averell
Harriman and his $40,000,000 might well come out the winner.
Such a choice would be no more incongruous and surprising. But
it is hard to believe history will repeat itself in any such bizarre
fashion as that.
Finally, there is this point to remember:
Under normal conditions ALL national party conventions have
ONE supreme desire, namely:
TO PICK A WINNER!
There have been a score of high-brow and complicated ex
planations of precisely WHY General Eisenhower won the GOP
nomination and Robert Alphonso, didn't.
But there is really only ONE, to-wit:
A MAJORITY of the delegates there assembled believed Eisen
hower COULD win, they either feared or were SURE Senator
Taft could NOT.
When all is said and done, that was the final score nothing
else really did count in spite of all the efforts to add up otherwise.
So it all comes down to this WILL the delegates to the Demo
cratic convention in Chicago July 21st meet under NORMAL
conditions?
The undersigned hopes to be able to answer that $64 question
more satisfactorily in his next. R.W.R.

To The Editor: Because the
need for such a building in the
community is so apparent to our
organization, the Business and
Professional Women's club - is
hereby making public its offer
to support the Civic Auditor
ium project. t
At our meeting on July 17, we
voted monetary support, and our
members enthusiastically vol
unteered to work toward obtain
ing this auditorium.
Since late last year our meet
ings, of necessity, have been din
ner meetings since there is no
hall available where our busi
ness sessions may be conducted.
Many cities smaller than Med
ford have community buildings
where group meetings, conven
tions, and dramatic and musical
activities may be held, and we
strongly believe it is time for
local organizations to unite-their
efforts to obtain such an audi

"We too early for
Matter of Fact
THE LOONY BIN
Chicago If you want a sam
ple of the peculiar atmosphere
of the Democratic rally in .Chi
cago, the following story is a
better than average sample of
high-level talk here.
In brief. Gov. Adlai Steven
son of Illinois wrote a letter,
a couple of months ago, describ
ing his attitude toward the
Democratic nomination which
has been so often pressed upon
him. This letter was either ad
dressed to, or somehow got into
the hands of Stevenson's friend,
Supreme Court Justice William
O. Douglas.
Justice Douglas, for reasons
best known to himself, proceed
ed to show the Stevenson letter
to Harry S. Truman's great and
good friend, Chief Justice Fred
Vinson. Chief Justice Vinson in
turn either showed the letter,
or related its contents, to the
President.
STEVENSON HAD written that
he did not want the Demo
cratic nomination, and particu
larly did not want to be nomi
nated as President Truman's per
sonal candidate, because of the
obligations that this would in
volve. He had also written that
he was not sure he was a Fair
Dealer, because he was anything
but clear in his own mind about
what a Fair Dealer really was.
These remarks, inevitably, were
taken by the President as signs
and symptoms of the darkest dis
loyalty. The moment when the Steven
son letter reached the ears or
eyes of Truman is persuasively
said to have marked the turning
point in the President's attitude
toward the Illinois Governor.
The foregoing story happens
to be well substantiated. There
is very little doubt indeed that
Gov. Stevenson did in fact write
such a letter, the summary of
which represents his known
views. There is very little doubt,
either, that the Douglas-to-Vin-son-to-Truman
triple play really
occurred. And there can be no
doubt at all about Truman's re
action, when confronted with
such a document.
rFHE REALLY interesting thing
about this story, however, is
the way it symbolizes the quality
of the oncoming Democratic con
vention. The Republicans had
big issues at stake, and big,
easily discernible forces were
engaged against each other. In
the case of the Democrats, no
candidate benefits from the kind
of factional fanaticism that sus
tained Sen Robert A. Taft. No
candidate is supported by the
kind of popular surge that car
ried Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Instead of popular surges and
passionate advocacy, stories like
that printed above are the warp
and woof of this session in Chi
cago. A few of these stories are
true, like this one. Many mtore
are false, or partly false. Their
prevalence, which is the signifi
cant "thing, means that the de
cisive factors at this stage are
the relationships between group
and group and between individ
ual and individual. Particularly,
of course, the President's re
lationships and attitudes are
vital. And in this sense the Ste
venson letter is regarded as sig
nificant, as inclining Truman
to block the draft - Stevenson
movement that Truman himself
originated.
It is this emphasis on the es
sentially personal and trivial
on the deals, negotiations, pri
vate attitudes and hints let drop
that makes the Democratic
gathering" appear, for the time
being, like a large, jolly, ami
able loony bin. How else can it
be,' since at least five major
groupings in the party, and at
least two score leading person
alities, all enter into .the pic
ture? Even the President him
self has multiplied his agents,
secret and overt, until no one
knows exactly who is speaking
for him.
BENEATH THE surface nerve
warfare and maneuvering,
however, two "significant facts
very plainly appear. The Demo
crats have two possible strate
gies. They ran nor-.itvate a can

strong sectional support, as Av
erell Harriman does in the North
and Sen. Russell does in the
South. But in that case, they
must accept a more or less open
and violent party split. Or they
can seek a candidate who will
unite the party. But in that case,
they must choose between Sen.
Kefauver, whom so many lead
ers detest; or Vice President
Barkley, whose age puts the
"caretaker" label on him; or
Gov. Stevenson, who has now
annoyed Truman and does not
want to run anyway.
The collective action of a loony
bin is impossible to forecast, and
so is the collective action of this
convention. Harriman is lean
ing towards using the civil rights
issue as Gen. Eisenhower's man
agers used the issue of the stolen
Southern delegations, and this
tactic may work. He is also
courting the President's endorse
ment. It any one has a moral
right to Truman's support, that
man is Harriman.
As these words are written,
despite contrary hints from the
White House, the Barkley forces
meanwhile continue to claim that
the President will give the nod
to their man. Even the Kefauver
people, who have been astutely
courting the White House for
weeks, are also hoping that Tru
man will choose Kefauver be
cause, he must. Perhaps they are
right. You pay your money and
you take your choice.

Politics:
Vice-president Barkley, whose
74 years may not stop him from
becoming a formidable candi
date for the Democratic nomi
nation for President, echoes in
Chicago President Truman's de
mand that the party stand on its
record in office.
Reciting what he said were
gains made by farmers, labor,
business and the aged and un
employed, he asserted that the
Democratic party has "earned
the confidence of the American
people."
rpHE VEEP is talking (and
boasting) in terms of dollars.
In Washington on the same day
the Federal Reserve Board talks
to the reporters in terms of
BUYING POWER.
It says:
"The Federal Reserve Board's
survey of consumer finances
(just issued) shows that average
total income of 'spending units'
(mostly families) rose from $3,
520 in 1950 to $3,840 in 1951
a rise of about nine per cent."
BUT, it adds:
"Consumer prices also went
up nine per cent, WIPING OUT
the income gain. And increased
taxes tipped the scales AGAINST
the average family, CUTTING
BUYING POWER BELOW THE
PREVIOUS YEAR."
THERE'S THE story of infla-
- tion for you. Inflation gives
us MORE DOLLARS that BUY
LESS. In time, it CUTS our buy
ing power instead of increasing
it. That time is now here.

Access Roads Vital
Clawson said construction of
access roads into Oregon & Cali
fornia grant lands was vital if
timber is to be marketed at a ca
pacity under sustained yield
practices. He suggested main-line
access roads be financed by con
gressional appropriation with
secondary roads construction
from sales revenues.

ever, said he believed local gov

building access roads.

ASA MEMBER of the Fourth
Estate, I'm cynically convin
ced that a whale of a lot of peo
ple don't worry much about
WHAT THEY DO but WORRY
FRIGHTFULLY when they get
caught at it.
TY THE WAY, who knows,
just offhand, the origin of
the term Fourth Estate?
It is supposer to have been
first used by the great English
statesman, Edmund Burke. In
the course of a speech in the
house of commons, he pointed
to the reporters' gallery and
said: "Yonder sits the Fourth
Estate, more important than all
the others."
HPHAT LEADS to another quiz
question: What (in Burke's
day) were the other three es
tates? They were the three classes of
people that made up the States
General of France the cler
gy, or the First Estate, the no
bility, or the Second Estate, and
the common people, or the
Third Estate.
HPHE STATES-General was
-- France's first (quite rudimentary-)
parliament. It was formed
in 1502 and lasted until the
French Revolution in 1789.
It didn't meet at regular times.
It was called by the king in times
of "emergency," when he want
ed advice, or MONEY, or mor
al support. Recalling the char
acter of the kings of France of
that day, I imagine they called
the State-General into session
only when they needed an alibi.
I'm beginning to suspect that
if congress met ONLY on the
call of the President it would
be used in about the same man
ner today.
WHAT BURKE really meant
when he referred so flatter
ingly in the house of commons
to the Fourth Estate was this:
By telling the people what is
going on and why, the press en
ables the people to GUARD
THEIR LIBERTIES against en
croachment by the demagogues,
the self-seekers and the ambi
tious and unscrupulous leaders
who reach constantly for more
and more POWER.
KNOWLEDGE OF that fact is
what caused our Founding
Fathers to guarantee freedom
of the press in our constitution
Letting the people know is the
high" and sacred function of the
press in a democracy.
Any newspaper that conscious
ly poisons the news it gives to
the people is recreant to its
trust and befouls the confidence
reposed in the press by Burke
when he termed it "the Fourth
Estate more important than all
the others."

GOP Candidate Hits
Dixiecrats in Talk
Before Demo Group
Chicago (U.R) A Republican
candidate for Congress touched
off a verbal explosion before
the Democratic platform com
mittee when he denounced the
present administration.
Edgar Brown. Negro Republi
can candidate for the 1st Dist
rict House seat now held by
Negro Rep. William Dawson (D
111.) said he had a right to ap
pear before the platform group
to denounce the Democrats.
Platform Chairman John W. Mc
Cormack of Massachusetts
agreed to hear him, and the bat
tle was joined.
Wants Democrats Expelled
Brown demanded the plat
form include a plank calling for
the expulsion from the Senate
of "all these Dixiecrat senators
who have disenfranchized the
Negro, just as te Republican
Congress ousted Senator Theo
dore Bilbo" in 1947.
"If you are here as a Repub
lican candidate for Congress to
make a speech, that's one
thing," McCormack said. "If you
are here to suggest a plank for
our platform, that's another."
He told Brown he would have
planty of time "to talk about
your political views later on"
during the campaign. He added
that the Democratic party "pro
tects the rights of all Amer
icans." Fiddler's
