ARCHIVES WATIONAL AND THE WHITE HOUSE SERVICE'R WASHINGTON July 7, 1952 The Republicans are meeting today in Chicago to select a candidate. Taft has control of the organiza- - tion and will no doubt seat enough delegates to have himself nominated. In 1940 Wall Street took on Wilkie, an Indiana Democrat and by the same methods that Taft is using at Chicago today kept Taft out of the race. Wilkie was beaten by F.D.R. and Henry Wallace. He was a bad loser. Cryed like a baby over a national hookup - figuratively I mean. The defeat was too much for him. In 1944, the same big business gang took up Dewey. F.D.R. and I gave him a drubbing as bad as Wilkie's was in 1940. In 1948 Taft was sure he would be the nominee. Again the same Wall Street gang gave the nomination to Dewey. He failed again in the campaign due to a special effort on the part of the Democrats to tell the people the truth. Now Taft has control of the machinery and the "kept press" is yelling thief and robber. I'm very happy over the situation. But I'm not happy over the situation with which the Democratic Conven- tion is faced. There are five candidates. Three from the South one from Kentucky and one from New York. Senator Russell is an able and an intelligent man. He has been Governor of Georgia and is now Senator from that great State.
