This historic message was sent off quietly by the Secretary of State from his hotel in Paris, was received and read by the President at a small gathering of Pennsylvania Republicans in Gettysburg. Next day the President decided to hold a special Cabinet meeting to hear Dulles' report. With an election a week away, the Paris achievement could have been given a lot of sizzle. It deserved better treatment: it could have been the peg for an immediate, politically potent radio-television report to the people...
...Third District (Louisville), where the polls close at 5 p.m. (Central Standard Time). The Third is Republican: by 17,300 in 1946, 9,291 in 1948, 12,428 in 1950 and 14,694 in 1952. This year G.O.P. Representative John M. Robsion Jr. should be able to hold his lead over Democratic Candidate Harrison M. Robertson to at least the 1948 margin. If he slips below that level, the danger flag will be up for Republican U.S. Senator John Sherman Cooper in Kentucky and for the Republican cause all over...
Where Republicans Lead. The G.O.P. appears likely to hold onto its Senate seats from Michigan, Massachusetts and Nebraska (where two are up, but only one is in serious contention). In Michigan, Democrat Patrick McNamara has had some good breaks, e.g., Defense Secretary Wilson's bird-dog remarks, but Republican Incumbent Homer Ferguson is holding on for dear life to an early lead. Nebraska's Republican Candidate Roman Hruska would be considered a good conservative in almost any other state; in Nebraska, his moderate tendencies have him in some trouble-although probably not enough for Democrat James Green...
...forecasters are in agreement : the Democrats will win the House by twenty to forty seats, take control of the Senate by three to five seats, win several important governorships from the Republicans, including Pennsylvania and possibly New York, and will lose none of the governorships they now hold. The party in power almost always loses [House] seats in the mid-term voting. If [the Republicans] can hold their losses to, say, twenty seats, that would be considered a Republican victory, since the average loss of House seats by the party in power in the off-year elections has been thirty...
...sense of a great future and a hard present bred within the region a restless, resentful spirit. From time to time, when Idaho's lead mines shut down, when grain prices fell and Washington's Big Bend wheat fields dried up, native brands of radicalism took hold. Nostrums like Populism were laced with occasional dynamitings; the Northwest was a pre-World War I citadel of the I.W.W. Those days are past, but the tradition remains, and "Eastern finance" is still a repugnant term. The New Deal was credited with power and irrigation, the colossus of Grand Coulee bringing...
