Editor's Note: The Salt Lake Times presents the third of a series of articles defining that catchy phrase "New Republican- - j ism" which members of the, Eisenhower administration are so fond of using. The information contained in the series was prepared in Wash-ington from official records, news reports and other reliable sources. We will list the definition and then its author. The number of definitions mostly different are unlimited. We have selected) only some of the better ones. "I would like to define a 'mod-ern Republican' as one who ad-mires President Dwight D. Eisen-hower and resolves most of his doubts (if any) in favor of the president." Senator Francis Case in U. S. News and World Report, May 3, 1057. . "Eisenhower Republicanism is not necesarily modern Republi-canism," Rep. Edwin H. May Jr., of Connecticut told the Evening Political Study Group of the League of Republican Women of D. C. Washington Post, April 17, 1957. "In the Republican Party there are also vociferous exponents of this incredible philosophy (of federal domination of the na-tional economy). It may be, in fact, that they are the 'Modern Republicans' about whom there has been so much discussion inj recent months. Certainly the, faulty premises of 'Modern Re-- j publicanism' do not refute this big budget concept. Indeed, it is curious that the administration's departure from its pledges to the American people should oc-cur during what believe will be the rather brief tenure of ( splinterized concept of Repub-lican philosophy." Senator Barry Goldwater in Washington Star, April 10, 1957. "... the budget in its pur-poses and scope represents 'mod-ern Republicanism' in action." Roscoe Drummond in New York Herald Tribune, April 7, 1957. "Definition of 'Modern Repub-licanism' is still debatable. It is called 'vague,' 'pro-Eisenhowe- r,' 'meaningless,' 'progressive,' and unprintable other things, accord-ing to the slant of the definer. The best guess is that 'Modern Republicanism is for (1) lower tariffs, (2) Internationalism just short of One World, (3) big business with government as the biggest business of all, (4) spend and spend and elect and elect." Dallas News, April 30, 1957. "Modern Republican: A fellow who joins the New Deal 20 years too late then claims he invent-ed it." Fletcher Knebel in the Washington Star, March 2, 1957. "Since the president first in-troduced this phrase into our present day poliitcal vocabulary, he has not had either the time or the opportunity to detail for us exactly, precisely and com-pletely, what he envisions as a Republican policy suited to that term. I like the phrase. It gives fully as much emphasis to the term Republicanism as it does to the term modern." Senator Karl (Continued on Page 8) !

The Democratic state central committee will meet in executive session at 12 noon Saturday, Oct. 26, in the Presidents' suite at the Newhouse Hotel, Salt Lake City. The committee is formed by six party officials who serve on a statewide basis and delegations from each of the state's 29 coun-ties. Its total membership usual-ly is 81, but there at present two unfilled vacancies. Four of the over-al- l officials are elected. They are at present the following: State Chairman Milton L. Weilenmann and Na-tional Committeman Calvin W. Rawlings of Salt Lake City; State Kathleen Meikle of Smithfield and Na-tional Committeewoman Roxie Romney of Bountiful.

It was at a similar recent meeting that Kathleen Meikle was chosen as state to replace Mrs. Charles C. Gardner of Boun-tiful, who had resigned to go on a mission for the LDS Church. TODAY'S EDITORIAL Utah's GOP 'Business Administration' Appears Short on Business Knowhow A most interesting circumstance came to light this week with release of a report by the Utah Foundation, the private, non-profit governmental research agency. The foundation noted 10 ways in which the state's Repub-lican administraton is bungling Utah's purchasing program. The charges, which would be serious in any administration, are even more so in one that got itself in power by claiming vast and superior "business" experience." Yes, it appears the Republican "business administration" of Governor George D. Clyde must have overlooked the six million dollars a year purchasing setup. How much this fumbling is costing Utah taxpayers is diffi-- j cult to tell. But since it presumably has been going on for years i under the GOP governors it can be assumed that the figure is huge. It will be interesting to see how many of the foundation's I wise recommendations are acted upon by the "business adminis-tration" of engineer Clyde. (Continued on Page 4) !
