G. O. P, STATE CHAIRMAN John Lauer views of the professional Republican politicians when he said in a

formal statement:

“The governor (Mr. Schricker) cooked his goose for the senate when he made his Roosevelt speech.” : Mr. Lauer referred to the governor's speech at French Lick last

Saturday night wherein the governor praised the “matchless and

untiring leadérship” of President _

Roosevelt and predicted that “the people will re-elect Roosevelt and save international peace.” On Monday, practically every professional Republican in the

state was reporting that Mr.

Schricker’s statement has cost him the votes of - thousands of his Roosevelt-hating Republican friends. And many of them were backing * this up with personal stories of friends of theirs who had intended to scratch for Schricker but who now had decided to vote the straight G, O. P. ticket. » . = Value Is Questioned

THIS SORT of thing is typical of a campaign season. Professionals always attach more ime portance to campaign statements and political speeches than the record shows they merit. The rank-and-file just don’t read . ‘ political speeches and neither do they listen to political speeches, particularly by state candidates, on the radio. This writer is continually astounded by the number of people (not connected nor interested in politics, of course) whom he encoun=ters who have not yet heard Governor Dewey on the air. The governor's praise of Mr.

FALL ‘44 VERSION of

today expressed the

Roosevelt undoubtedly has caused some of his Roosevelt-hating Republican friends to turn against him. But it is extremely doubtful that Republicans of this category would have scratched for him on election day anyway, realizing as they un would by that time that a vote for Mr. Schricker would be a vote against possible Republican organization of the senate,

Policies Made Clear MOST PRACTICAL politicians think that the governor did the best thing possible at French Lick. In the first place, he left no doubt to exist in anyone's mind that he is’ not squarely on the Democratic team. It is never good politics to get votes from the opposition at the expense of support from your own crowd. And too, he made it plain that | he is not running under false | colors just to try to get elected. | The governor has said repeatedly, in talks with friends and in a speech here last March, that while he never favored a third or fourth term as a principle he feels that Mr. Roosevelt must be reelected for a successful handling of the peace. One Dewey supporter who intends to vote for Mr. Schricker summed up the opinions of many with this statement: “We would not respect him, if he ducked the Roosevelt issue. After all, we | know he's a Democrat and we | don’t expect him to run as any- | thing else.”

G. 0. P. Lead Claimed

MR. LAUER in his statement |

‘have proved a great rallying point.

said that “the fina] drive is on” and that “we are far out in front |

| and mean to incréase that lead

‘every day until election day.”

The G. O. P. chairman issued his statement before departing for a trip through northern Indiana counties to check on organization details, “Whatever organization troubles we had are behind us,” he said. “Everybody is back in the fold. Governors - Dewey and Bricker

Every Republican everywhere is for them. I haven't heard of a single Republican throughout this state who will vote against Dewey and Bricker.” (It is noteworthy that he didn’ tsay the same thing about the senatorial and gubernatorial candidates, Homer Capehart and Ralph Gates.) He said the speeches by the Democratic senatorial and gubernatorial nominees, Governor Schricker and Senator Jackson, at French Lick last week-end helped the Republican cause immeasur~ ably. “When Governor Schricker belittled Tom Dewey and praised the Roosevelt-Hillman combination (the governor made no mention of Mr, Hillman in his speech) he smashed his own slim chances to smithereens,” he said. “Senator Jackson failed completely in his effort to switch In- | diana people away from the | Roosevelt-Hillman issue. ‘ They are measuring campaign oraters who talk one way in the Democratic national convention (Senator Jackson was permanent chairman) and another in Indiana. « Indiana people are -not gullible.”
