Two years ago, you'll remember, the pollsters and other experts were predicting that Harry-Truman would take a thorough pasting from one Tom Dewey at the polls come November. Practically everybody conceded Truman's defeat practically everyone but Truman that is. Harry Truman hopped aboard a special train and stumped the country from one end to the other, talking with people, telling them what they wanted to hear, and answering their questions. And he didn't overlook "whistle stops." Tulare and other smallish towns like it throughout the country, are considered "whistle stops" by the big time politicians. But Truman stopped at Tulare and he drew a whale of a crowd.

"Tom Dewey made the mistake of not making those "whistle stops." When his train chugged through Tulare, he stood on the back platform waving. That was all. The scene probably was repeated in countless other small towns. And the result is now history. Truman's success with whistle stop stumping has had a profound effect on politicians everywhere since 1948.

We've seen good examples of that in Tulare this year. First came Helen Gahagan Douglas, democratic candidate for the U.S. senate, to tell her story to the people in street corner and luncheon table talks; then there was Jimmy Roosevelt, who loped into town alioard a house trailer equipped with public address system and finally Richard Nixon, republican foe of Mrs. Douglas, who made his entry via loudspeaker-equipped station the Times, "is that reporters traveling with Mr. Smathers complain because he uses the same Joaquin valley Baptist Young Peoples union at an annual speech every day and they are finding it hard after five weeks to find a 'new lead' for the next day's papers." rally and banquet at Selma Friday evening.

To date, Gov. Earl Warren and Manchester Boddy, who also is in the three-way senatorial race, haven't seen fit to invade the hinterlands with their messages. They've been content to use the air waves and send out bushels of publicity (most of which, incidentally, winds up in wastebaskets) to newspapers. If Messrs. Warren and Boddy are half as smart as we've been led to believe they are, they'll join the happy throng in the "sticks" before long and do some real politicking.

While casting his vote against slum clearance, he simultaneously promoted the real estate lobby's idea of increasing the amount they could borrow from Uncle Sam up to $750,000.
