REPAIRS FOR ALL MAKES
Sunday. August 19, 1956
Anyone gifted with insight
into the future would have had
considerable difficulty four
years ago convincing any of
Oregon's convention delegates
of what was to come to pass
in the months and years before
convention time 1956 would roll
around.
Especially the Morsemen with
in the state's delegation would
have laughed heartily at any sug
gestion that their favorite sen
ator would switch over to the
Democratic camp. I recall as
though it were yesterday the
high moment of exaltation be

ing experienced by Oregon's lib
eral Republicans after the Taft
Eisenhower battle had finally
been won by the Normandy com
mander. On that steamy Chicago night
of July 11. 1952, I rode from
the amphitheatre back down
town with the senator and his
closest associates in the dele
gation State Sen. Mark Hat
field, State Sen. Phil Hitchcock
and Clay Myers Jr., who was
Morse's alternate.'
It was a night to remember,
not for wild jubilation, of which
there was plenty, but for the

quished the Old Guard of the
Republican party to nominate
Dwieht D. Eisenhower, a saviour
for the Republicans who was to
go on and match Franklin D.
Roosevelt in political appeal and
national popularity.
Signifance Outline
This was the accomplishment in
Which the Morsemen were revel
ing as we drove slowly ack to
ward the Loop, listening largely
to Wayne Morse, in true profes
sional style, outlining the his
toric significance of the Eisen
hower nomination over Sen. Rob
ert A. Taft, the darling of the
Old Guard.
In their 1920-style straw hats
that were a campaign fetish, the
Morsemen nodded their concur
rence, each interjecting his own
thoughts on the rosy tomorrow
that greeted them in this hour
of triumph.
In that convention, Morse was
just another sign-carrying dele
gate who placed himself under
heavy restraint and uttered not
one word of oratory to a gather
ing which was addressed princi
nallv hv siirh nntahlp conserva
tives as Douglas MacArthur andl
Herbert Hoover.

Richard M. Nixon as the vice I
presidential candidate and the j
steam began to escape from, the j

There were reports which Morse ,
always denied that he had cov-l
eted for himself the possibility
of being tapped as Eisenhower's j
running mate, for he never let 1
an opportunity pass prior to the
convention without claiming he
was the first man in the Senate
to come out for Ike.
What happened from that day
until Morse walked into the Lane
county court house last year and
changed his registration to Dem
ocratic, is as well known as some
of the senator's motives are mys

brought him to one of the higli
points of his political career this
week as he addressed the Dem

designed for home consumption
.which charged that liberalism is
all but dead in the party he left
behind.
