Editorial Correspondence
Rockford, 111., July 18 WHAT a night!
It reminded your correspondent of the relative who moved
to the Pacific Coast because she couldn't stand thunder-storms.
She happened to be a second-cousin, who developed a morbid
sensibility to thunder-and-lightning; so much so, she put rubber-
coasters on her bed, and used rubber sheets whenever a tnunaer
storm broke out.
She should have been struck by lightning, according to Holly
wood scenario standards; but she died peacefully a few years
ago in Seattle, where she claimed she never saw lightning, nor
heard a clap of thunder.
PerhaDS the storm last night or rather about 2 a.m. this
morning was no worse than many encountered in our youth
but it seemed unparalleled in both duration and ferocity. At least
five per cent of the dazzling bolts seemed to hit the pavement

consideration.
That second cousin who went west for the reason men
tioned, several years before the writer, was always regarded by
the family as a neurotic and "awful queer." While there was, we
believe, considerable basis for that judgment, we certainly have
an understanding and a sympathy for her this a.m. we never
had before.
The other member of the immediate family here the one who
wrote letters from abroad for a while longs for her "little
green home on Rogue River" more than ever since last night's
bombardment. She believes there was far more noise and nearly
as much danger, as if the Russians had declared war.
Speaking of war, Rockford is today the second largest pro

There are fewer evidences of war and war preparations here
in the Midwest however, than in the East. In Washington, New
York, and even in Worcester, Mass., there are signs posted at
frequent intervals pointing to "shelters" which are Of course

too, most of them locked up and many underground. Have seen

The Medford duo having attended the Chicago convention
were queried immediately, and at length, to explain "the terrible
tragedy" that came to pass in that stockyard abbatoir. How
COULD they do it? How DID it happen? What CAN be done to
save the Grand Old Party NOW?

As for Eisenhower these relatives we hasten to apologize

the U.S.A. into World War III, but that he will be nothing more
than a weak and helpless tool, in the hands of "Wicked Wall

Tribune, please copy.)
SO what?
Does this meanvthe Republicans of Illinois are going to take a
walk in November?
As of today the answer is "YES!"
We noted right after Eisenhower's nomination there was no
enthusiasm behind Senator Taft's generous gesture o,f making
the vote unanimous nor for that matter any sincerity. Had the
delegates voted their REAL feelings and convictions, there would
have been at least 25 per cent of them who would have stayed
by the Taft ship and gone down with it. In other words around
300 votes.
- But they didn't!
And the reason they didn't is clearly indicated by the fanati
cal support Taft had and still has from the Old Guard conserva
tives in the Republican party. As
column they would really rather
anyone else.
And with them march R.W.R.'s cousins first and second!
That is as of "TODAY."
But how tbout three months hence?
Well, taking these relatives as typical of this die-hard Taft
support, which we imagine they are then there can be no
doubt of ONE thing to-wit:
THEY WILL NEVER VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC CAN
DIDATE not if he should be the "Angel Gabriel" himself, or a
resurrected Abe Lincoln.
That hypothesis is out utterly and completely so.
Then obviously they MUST vote for Eisenhower and Nixon
or not vote at all.
Again assuming these cousins, reasonably representative of
the Old Guard, then the Old Guard will somewhat reluctantly, but
nevertheless almost unanimously,

ically-minded by nature, and
regard as the threat of destruction facing their beloved country
if the Democrats are not, from President down to precinct com
mittemen, and back again, thrown out and kept out, until all
hell freeezes over!
In other words: while the Taft
doubt elsewhere will never forgive nor forget the defeat of
their revered and respected "Mr. Republican" at Chicago in 1952
A.D.; and while they do NOT have, and many of them never
vill have, any feeling of affection
Nixon; their FEELING AGAINST
the Democratic party, is so much stronger and more lasting, than
their feeling of sorrow and resentment over the Taft defeat, that
when the first week in November does come around they will

Matter of Fact
Chicago Whatever happens
to Averell Harriman at this con
vention, it is at least worth not
ing that his last-minute Presi
dential candidacy has become
a "'remarkable phenomenon in
American politics.
First there is the transforma
tion of the candidate himself.
Harriman did not desire to run,
preferring to support Gov. Alai
Stevenson of Illinois. He was
originally offered the New York
delegation because Paul Fitz
patrick and the other New York
leaders had nowhere else to
store their delegates. He had
been a great official, but he was
a rank amateur in practical
politics. He had the handicap
of his wealth. And he was only
barely able to make a coherent
speech.
Yet in a few short months,
without anyone as yet noticing
it very much, Harriman has
transformed both himself and
his candidacy by sheer courage
and grim determination. The
politicians here still underrate
Harriman because they have not
seen him in action. But he has
always had a way of learning by
doing, and he has now learned
to be a curiously effective cam
paigner. On the stump, he still stumb
les. But he has acquired a re
markable knack of conveying
passionate sincerity and strong
emotion, which very few other
politicians have.
PRESIDENT Truman is cred
ited with the remark that
"you can't make a barefoot boy
out of Averell," but the sincer
ity and emotion Harriman ach
ieves can still be singularly ef
fective. His people here have a
recording of a speech he made
in Colorado which they play to
doubters. Even the recording
was good enough to change the
view of Sen. Hubert Humphrey,
no mean platform speaker and
a not insignificant personage at
this convention, that Harriman
would never catch the popular
imagination in an electoral cam
paign. Besides achieving this odd
style that alternates Franklin
Roosevelt's organ tones and his
own hesitant honesty, Harriman
has always managed to inspire
a remarkable loyalty and devo
tion in his little band of support
ers. The whole Harriman show
looks like a youth movement,
which is odd in itself in the ra
ther tired Democratic party.
The older' liberal Democrats
are still hoping for Adlai Stev
enson. But Harriman has at
tracted to himself an extraordin
arily high proportion, if not of
the ripe wisdom, of at least
the genuine faith and idealism
in his party. Whether or not
you agree with the views prev
alent in Harriman headquarters,
it is a rather cheering place to
be, if only, as proof that ideal
ism still flourishes in odd corn
ers of our political life, and that
there are some people left who
are not aging cynics or hopeful
payrollers.
Perhaps this is because Harri
man, the richest man in public
life, seems to be about the last
Democrat who really believes in
the New and Fair Deals.
THEN, TOO, there is great in
terest, again whether you
approve of it or not, in the un
derlying Harriman strategy.
This strategy is based upon a
simple computation. A check of
the elections from 1932 onward
shows that the whole Southern
electoral vote could have gone
to the Republicans every time
except 1948, and the Democratic
party would still have won every
time by majorities ranging from
133 electoral votes in 1936 to
39 electoral votes in 1944. Fur
thermore if the Wallace Progres
sives had not drawn votes from
the Democrats in New York and
other Northern states, the Dem

By Joseph and
Stewart Also
ocrats could have lost the whole
South and still won even in
1948.
Hence Harriman and his sup
porters argue that the Democrat
ic future depends upon a clear
progressivism, a firm rejection
of all compromises with the
Southern conservatives. And it
must be said that the arguments
sound convincing when you hear
Harriman, pale, rather gaunt,
yet full of vigor, expounding
his thesis in his low-voiced, in
tense way.
Harriman's trouble is, mean
while, that he has got to con
vince this convention, which will
take a lot of doing. His favorite
anecdote these days is a quot
ation from Woodrow Wilson. Ac
cording to Harriman Wilson
once remarked that there were
always more liberals than con
servatives, but that the liberals
marched to their . objectives
alone and apart, so that the con
servatives, who. always stuck
together, were generally able to
pick off the liberals one by one.
In the present case, Harri
man's chances would look much
better if, for example, he could
form a combination with Sen.
Estes Kefauver. Sen. Humphrey
has sought to arrange just such
a combination. But Kefauver,
after his hard fight, was not will
ing to consider second place;
and neither was Harriman. Thus
all the Harriman leaders are
now awaiting the word of the
President. Truman encouraged
the Harriman candidacy. He
has more than once stated to
Harriman that he meant to sup
port him. If the President is
faithful to his moral obligation,
Harriman will have Truman's
support.
m m m
BUT AGAIN THE trouble is
that the expert forsecasters
here think Truman will limit
his support to indicating his per
sonal preference for Harriman,
without engaging the prestige
of the White House in the Harri
man movement. This is because,
as of now, most of the professi
onals do not think Truman can
put Harriman over, even if the
President goes all out. The out
come is wholly unpredictable.
But whatever the outcome may
be Harriman must be credited
with a really remarkable try.

COMING
On The Side
(Distributed by King
What national convention of
a feminine organization brings
out the most beautiful women?
I ask this question in the Inter
ests of our bachelor subscribers.
It would seem a Convention of
women would be a good place
for an unattached fellow to
meet some very interesting peo
ple. Not difficult to meet either,
because the women attending
the convention have their names
on cards attached to their ap
parel. I have been at hotels
when feminine conventions
were in progress but as yet have
not been particularly dazzled by
the beauty of the partis ipants.
Still there must be some femin
ine conventions at which beauty
predominates. Do models have
conventions? How about regis
tered nurses?
Literary Note.
The most prolific novelist of
the Twentieth Century is
Georges Simenon, the detective

in his forties, Simenon has writ
ten 407 novels. Thirty-seven of
these novels have been made
into films. Georges writes only
two hours a day, from 6:15 to
8:30 a.m. However, he spends
most of the night before figur

finds at times difficult to re

by jockeys is not tolerated. Base
ball players can clown, also box

must be preserved. However, a
couple of years ago in a distance
race at Pimlico the jovial young
Mr. McCreary rounded into the
stretch with his mount leading
the field by about forty lengths.
Then Conn's sense of humor got
the better of him. He rose high
in the saddle and bowed and tip
ped his hat right and left as he
approached the winning post.
The spectators roared with
laughter. But the stewards were
not amused. They plastered a
stiff fine on McCreary for this
unseemly display of levity.

In their first meeting in the

Tunney look foolish. This de

Besides that, Greb was blind in
one eye. Yet let us not sell Tun
ney short. He was one of the
gamest fighters ever to enter the
ring. After his disastrous meet

"Kissing the lips or cheeks is
not the mode here; the first is

Democrat Attacks
On GOP Claimed
Sabotage Threat
Washington (U.R) Sen.
Alexander Wiley charged Mon
day that Democratic "smear at
tacks against the Republican
party as a whole" threaten to
"sabotage" efforts to bolster a
bipartisan foreign policy.
The Wisconsin Republican
singled out Averell Harriman,
Democratic presidential candi
date, for particular criticism in
a statement issued as the Dem
ocratic National convention op
ened in Chicago.
Harriman Should Have Quit
Wiley, ranking GOP member
of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee said Harriman should
have resigned as Mutual Secur
ity Administrator instead of us
ing the post to his "personal
political advantage" and as a
"fulcrum" from which to attack
the Republicans.
"Regardless of what happens
at Chicago," Wiley said, "Mr.
Harriman has done severe dam
age to bipartisonship. He should
have taken the advice of a mem
ber of his own party, Congress
man James P. Richards, S.C.,
and resigned long ago."
Damage Said Done
Wiley said 'reckless politick
ing" and "foul blow" attacks
by the Democrats have done
"severe damage to bipartisan
ship." He said it is 'clear" that
the Democrats have failed to
make bipartisanship a "two-way
street and have stuck a knife
into the back of the bipartisan
foreign policy."
