...Washington and most of the labor politicians seem to have read the book and out West on the Truman express, the Presidential advisors seem to be following their Bean, stir up a commotion, get out the vote, and pray Henry Wallace is an overrated vote-better...
...Department of Agriculture staff for the last 25 years, Bean has long been known as a statistical wizard in Washington. When Henry Wallace headed the Department, Bean was one of the inner braintrust, but unlike C. B.

Catholics who did not support the Democratic Party in 1946, because of its supposed Communist affiliations, will in 1948 swing...
