...minority report on McCarthy's early charges and his recent ill-advised statement, you see this old cliche proven. If this was a single incident, Mr. Landis' charges would be more than embarrassing, but since it is only another instance of the Lodge campaign technique of self-apologia, we feel justified in considering it deplorable but minor.

By the same device it deftly short-circuits the Johnston office, incorporating its apologia into its action...
