The choice was made of c< „rse. as a coalition move be tween the northern and southern elements of the party. He, was picked in the hope of healing the political wow.ids caused by the forced "loyalty pledge” bitter fight to kick the non-signing delega te ns from South Carolina, Louisi ana. and Virginia out of the con vention. That the rebels almost d.d. It cannot in all truth be said that Stevenson's nomination was a gen uine draft. There was too much advance work put in on the effort by practical machine politicians. These Northern liberals who were working on the inside had tabbed the Illinois governor as the man to whom they and Truman wanted the nomination 4o go. And there was Jacob Arvey. the Chicago po litical boss, who was behind the scene working to force the large delegations including his of Illinois —into the Stevenson column. James Farley of New York, who was all over the convention, soon saw how the cards were stacked and withdrew' his support from Y.ce-President Barkley and threw it to Stevenson. The nominee and platform bears •• .the mark of Truman. Stevenson is a man of modesty, dignity, high calibre and ability. , He will be a formidable candidate, no doubt, against Isenhower. But the fact remains thet he is a true blue Tru- ,j^ rranite. He has held many import-!g ant New Deal jobs in recent years j 8 and was/elected governor of his H state as a Fair Deal candidate.—HejS was Harry Truman’s man, and he }j may be expected to run on a Tru man platform. His election would mean four more years of Big Gov ernment which spells waste, con-1 fusion, duplication, general inep-1 titude, socialism, corruption and incompetence as exists today in the federal government. Do the American people want a J5 change of administration or a con- 8 tinuation of what we have had the past twenty years? That is the question confronting us. It is a decision of • principle against t party loyalty.
