...want to vote Republican, but I'll be damned if I'll vote for an outfit run by Taft, Wherry, McCarthy, Hickenlooper, Dewey, et al. Let's hear from Duff, Morse, Warren and other modern Republicans...
Election time was 16 long months away, but Republicans as well as Democrats were already beginning to hear the call. Across the nation, in surprising numbers, Republicans were cheerfully spending $100 bills for a platter of chicken and a hard seat at a fund-raising dinner. The California party overflowed Los Angeles' Biltmore Bowl and took in $130,000. At Milwaukee a fortnight ago, the Wisconsin G.O.P. $100-a-plate affair, featuring Senator Robert A.

In each city, nearly everybody turned out to see him on the parade route; the stadium crowds were small for a football game but large for an evening speech, particularly when it could be heard more comfortably on the radio or seen...
