Republican National Committee today to help nominate and elect Gen. Dwight D. Eisen hower president because he is the ''peoples" choice." • Only a few hours earlier, David S. Invalls. campaign manager for Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio, told the committee the GOP is dead, if it risked its political future on “hero worship, glamour or sex ap peal." Lodee. who has been conducting a whirlwind campaign at tfie na tional committee meeting in jgn ef fort to line up party support for Eisenhower, was the third-of four men to. speak out for their can didates. Oov. Earl Warren of California and Ingalls took their turns And tonight Harold E. Stassen, former governor of Minnesota, will follow Lodve's luncheon appearance. “We must give the American people the man they want for the job." Lodge said. “Popular senti ment favor* one man above aU others an dthat man is Eisen hower.” POINTS TO POLIJ3 Lodge argued that every public opinion poll favored the general and even in the solid South the score was Elsenhower 59 per cent, Truman 35 per cent. Ingalls spent part of his speech attacking public opinion surveys which he called “the Trojan horses of the Republican Party.” “A blind reliance on these polls has led the Republican Party to defeat repeatedly in the -pact and can lead us to defeat again," In galls? saw. “They create tto grand toM*.' sahTthe QOP could not hope to turn out the Democratic administration in No vember unless it gets the independa ant vote. NOT ENOUGH REPUBLICANS “There are just not enough Re publicans in the United States to elect a president without addition al support" “Therefore we must have a can didate who not only will carry our banner, but will also appeal to the great strength of the independent voters and also to the Democrats who are sick and tired of the pres ent national administration,” Lodge said.
