...attacking Democratic liberals, last week he finally turned equal fire on the G.O.P. "If you vote the national Republican ticket," he told a Little Rock, Ark., audience, "you have thrown your vote away." In 1952, he reminded them, Republicans said "pretty things" to the South, but then appointed Earl Warren to the Supreme Court. "The national Republican Party, for the first time since Reconstruction, put the bayonet in the backs of the people of Arkansas."
