Local issues would have important bearing on the races-but the party's national face mattered too, and that face last week was still sour, its voice complaining and its attitude carping. Even National Chairman Guy Gabrielson himself reflected some of that mood. Retorting to the President's boast (see above), Gabrielson dourly undertook "to remind the American people . . . just what five years of Truman has meant to them," showing how the country was really in terrible shape. Cried Gabrielson: "The American people will not again be misled by slanders and libels . . . They will not again be beguiled...
...plain citizens, they filled every seat, sat cross-legged on the concrete floor, munched the chicken legs of the new "poor man's" Lincoln Day box supper (cost $1), danced to Fred Waring's orchestra, sang with Cinemactor George Murphy, shouted themselves hoarse.

And few politicians believe that Republicans can recapture the decisive votes of the nation's political independents with a program of indiscriminate opposition...
Handsome, 54-year-old Harry Darby was as Republican as Kansas itself. A national committeeman, he turned down the national chairmanship this year, before it was handed to New Jersey's Guy Gabrielson. Darby wrenched control of Kansas' Republican delegation from Alf Landon last year and led it on to the Dewey bandwagon-and was one of the rare few who warned Deweymen that the Republicans might lose the 1948 election...
