POLITICAL NOTES,HEROES: In the Breeze
POLITICAL NOTES
A poll of 4,249 Republican grass-roots workers produced these straws in the light breezes of 1945's partisan politics:
¶ Most popular man in the party: Ohio's John W. Bricker, the 1944 Vice Presidential aspirant;
¶ Biggest gainer in popularity, Michigan's Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg;
¶ Biggest loser in party prestige, Nominee Tom Dewey.
The survey, conducted for the Republican, a national party magazine, showed that the biggest recent gainers in party approval (aside from Vandenberg, who jumped 40.7 points since 1943, for his foreign-policy views) were Bricker, Captain Harold Stassen, U.S.N.R., Senator Leverett Saltonstall, Governor Earl Warren.
G.O.P. workers, asked what they thought about defeating Harry Truman if he is the Democratic candidate in 1948, were gloomy; nearly 70% thought he would be "comparatively difficult to defeat."
