(An Editorial)
The Winning Team
President Roosevelt and Senator
Truman were nominated at Chicago,
and will undoubtedly be elected in No -
vember as President and Vice President
of the United States, respectively.
The fact that President Roosevelt was
nominated for a fourth term practically
without opposition determines the over
whelming strength and popularity of
this the greatest President in the history
of the United States. -
The naming of Senator Truman estab
lishe? an almost perfect harmony among
the real Democrats.
The pacification of the Haters was not
particularly undertaken by the conven
tion nor specially desired.
In the judgment of the best political
guessers in the nation, Mr. Dewey will
not get to first base. In these terribly
serious times of war, and the peace ar
rangements to be determined later, the
American people will not be willing to
swap horses in the middle of the turbu
lent stream. They will want the wisdom,
the .ii?igment and the experience of
President Roosevelt .
And the Roosevelt administration will
tttand on its record, which is the most
l>onc-fieent and the most constructive,
both in the successful prosecution of the
war and or the home economic front, in
the history of the nation.
