Next, Old Guardsman Barry Goldwater, though he had been less than enthusiastic about having Good Ikeman Morton as national chairman, took the microphone to wish him well and urge him to steer the Republican Party to the right. As for the Democrats, said Goldwater, "there is no Democratic Party. There is a shell that has been crawled into by labor, led by that redhead from Detroit named Reuther. We've got to stop being nice to them. We've called them liberals. They aren't liberals they are radicals...
...other side of the aisle, Republican ranks, though depleted, may find in defeat a new cohesion that will let them exploit Democratic splits. Ailing Joe Martin of Massachusetts will probably hand more of the House minority leader's power over to quick-moving Ikeman Charlie Halleck of Indiana; the Senate's probable new Republican leader, Old Guardist-turned-Ikeman Everett Dirksen of Illinois, will doubtless be a much smoother operator than bumbling ex-Minority Leader Bill Knowland...

...there is little sign of any solid movement to stand against the Democratic attack. The band of liberal Republican Senators who have rallied around Ike before are themselves nervous about his leadership, and have turned to Vice President Nixon for counsel. "In our own self-interest," said one ex-Ikeman, "we've got to convince the electorate that we are more energetic than Eisenhower." New Jersey's Clifford Case has already called for more aid to education than the Administration is expected to propose, and for better defense than it has produced; New York's Jacob Javits...
