Sixon and Lodge are both popular in Pennsylvania. At a Philadelphia speech fall, Nixon attracted more than 400,- spectators, while Lodge scored successes in other parts of state. Where the ticket attracts, however, the veto and voting records of Eisenhower and the Republican-dominated state senate repel.

What looked like a tidal wave was first of all the sum of a long series of local Republican choices of candidates obviously likely to repel the maximum number of votes. Wherever the Democrats committed comparable follies, as they did here and there, they also suffered...
