HIGHJLOOD _ PRESSUURE—HOW TO CORRECT IT angle for him. —- r When the National Convention meets, most of the delegates sweat and steam in the heat, while a few political engineers lay plans for some sort of steamroller. A convention may fail to choose any recognized leader, as when A1 Smith and William Gibbes McAdoo batlted in the Houston Convention. Finally the convention chose John W. Davis, a great lawyer, Put not a top political figure. Now let us assume that tne Dem ocrats choose Senator Russell, after many bargains, compromises and deals. So the Senator becomes the Democratic hope. I do not overlook the grave possibility that Russell, Kerr, Kefauver. Stevenson, Harri- man, Ewing and John Doe may battle all week and, like the men on the Lake of Gennesaret say in despair, “We have toiled all night and caught nothing.” Yea, verily,! all week with no constructive re- 1 suit. Then a solid bloc of Trum an satellites will hear a mystic Macedonian cry for little Harry to “come over into Macedonia and help us.” And little Harry, who likes to quote Scripture, will say, in the words of the Great Apostle, “I was not disobedient unto the Heavenly vision’’. Nay, Nay. When the Republicans have nominated Richard Roe I use that familiar figure so as to hold the scales even between the adherents of two good men—Taft and Eisen-1 hower) so when Richard Roe be-j comes the Republican candidate and Russell the Democratic candi-1 Well, we’ve! made some progress, for hundreds I of real and imaginary local cele brities have attended all the con-1 ventions and gained due recogni tion, clear on down through their children’s children. After all this I regret to say that the real election is not yet. A pres ident is not elected at the polls: all this elaborate preliminary I have presented is a rich and delightful meringue, but the real pie is yet under some layers of meringue. A president is elected by the state convention each county con vention chose a member of the state executive committee. But the state convention elects the chair man of the committee who is ex pected in any emergency to prove himself “great - in counsel and mighty in work”, as we read in The Book. Where are we? The Democratic party and the Republican _par;y will each name eight citizens. We shall elect eight Democrats in this state, in all probability, unless the Trumanites and Pendergast Dem ocrats hold out for all the iniquit ies which have infuriated our peo ple, for the Trumanite crowd seem to be disciples of Shakespear’s Mc- Beth and continue to abuse our pa tience with the exultant cry “con demned be he who first cries hold; enough.”; You observe that I have purified Shakespeare. And. after all, Shakespeare can stand a lot of fumigation and still wield a puissant pen. SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHRONICL1 "The Paper Everybody Reads” Be prepared for hospitality ial stature. Consider the Colossus who heads our government today and lifts the whole world to new heights: who would ever have sug gested him for the presidency? We might consider for a moment Sena tor Russell. It isn’t clear who first thought of the senator. He was not identified with the States Rights campaign of 1948, but has been a respected figure in public life for some years. Now that he has been suggested, his name is put on the ballot in some states so that those States may express their pre ference for him, or fw some other date, where are we Democrat. The Republicans, of course, have the same procedure within their party. If Senator Rus sell should be favored in these tests, over all other Democrats, he would probably become the Dem ocratic candidate. But there are other factors to consider: the nom ination is really made in a Nation al Convention; and the National Convention may disregard all this favorite-son voting. So we come to the National Convention; it is the important body. Who compose the National Con- i electoral college, vehtioh?
