I I I I Republicans Should Not Among Themselves The pre-convention campaign of the Republican party is now entering the home stretch. It is only five weeks before delegates will begin to assemble in Chicago to nominate candidates and adopt a platform. At this stage any campaign is apt to getbitter. Candidates and their supporters who have been stumping the nation, laying plans for convention strategy, striving to create a wave of sentiment in favor of their candidate are apt to do things and say things that arouse bitter animosities. It is unfortunate that this is apparently happening in the Republican are party.
Both Eisenhower and Taft forces apparently becoming a little -anxious. They are, things that they may regret at a later: saying time. But usually these differences are pretty well resolved within a few weeks after the convention and the members of party find it possible to unite behind the party nominee. Lyle Wilson Says: Indications Promise Eager Truman Drive for Candidate By LYLE WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, The Army Signal Corps has overhauled President Truman's whistle-stop campaign Pullman. It needs only 15 or so cars to be hooked in front of it to become Mr.
Truman's 1952 campaign train. The President's promise and eagerness 10 campaign for the Democratic ticket and a Democratic Congress again this year are too obvious to permit doubt that he intends to do so. The kind of campaign, however. deperds most of all on whom the Republicans nominate for President and vice president. Mr.
Truman repeatedly has said that Sen. Rob ert A. Taft of Ohio is his favorite for the Republican nomination. Of Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower the President always has spoken kindly, often with affection and rarely without some tribute to the general's virtues. After all. Eisen. hower was Mr. Truman's candidate for President in 1945 when be offered to support the general if he desired cun in.
1948. So Mr. Truman's pitch in this campaign year will not be the sane for Eisenhower that it would be for Taft. Taft's: nomination would spotlight foreign policy, Eischhower's would shadow it. The President would campaign against Taft as an Individual and in all other respects.
He would pour it on Taft at the whistle stops because the President is among those who see in Taft the man who more than any other has determined Republican party pollcles, Mr. Truman's friendly references to Eisenhower and his unfriendly references to Taft have suggested to some persons that the President may now figure that such tactics would hinder the general and help the senator to obtain the Republicab nomination.

It is the attitude which preserves the two party system which has been found essential for efficient democratic government.
It might be well for us average voters to take some of the things that are being said today with proverbial grain of salt. After all we do not want a fight within our party which will leave bitter scars long after the convention adjourns. While this writer favors the Taft candidacy, because we know more about how he stands on important issues than how his major opponent stands, we can still go along with Eisenhower candidacy if he receives the nomination. In fact we believe that we could become quite enthusiastic over the candidacy of General Eisenhower if he is the nominee, because we are convinced that what this couns in. try urgently needs right now is a change government.
The Democratic party has been in office for twenty years. That's too long for any single administration. A new party should take over in 1953 for the good of the nation. Obituary Conrad Mohr William Mohr died Tuesday May 13, 1952 at home, 332 E. Howard street, Portage.

LABOR PARADE Union leaders and representatives are expected to begin a big parade to Washington to ask the. Wage Stabilization board to give them what the steel and oil workers got, The steel case is still pending but the oil dispute seems to be near a settlement. In both instances, board recommendations have set the pattern which labor sources regard as a virtual formula for an agreement. It may lead to a revision of the wage provisions in the stabilization program. Industry spokesmen have asked Congress to eliminate the board's power to rule on disputes and confine its activities to deciding whether: a proposed raise would upset stabilization regulations.
Since labor has scored heavily on the wage front, the unions are expected to make further demands.
