that affected the party, to that de-
gree that he publicly Endorsed An
drew ]. May for Congress. The liberal
and progressive forces upon which
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
could always rely began to doubt
whether the Republicans could do
any worse. Those that went to the
polls on November 5 voted accord
|ingly.
Democratic candidates during the
campaign carefully avoided identity
ing themselves with the Truman
administration. Even Mr.. Hanne-
gan had to go back to the Roosevelt
lays for colors to daub on the canvas
in the hope of making the voters
forget that there was such man
as Mr.. Truman. The Democratic
candidates had two fears, one OF
Republican strength and the other
that Mr.. Truman might speak for
them. Had he not already given
the kiss of death to Senator Wheeler
OF Montana during the primary fight
and similarly infected Mr.. Axtell's
election chances?

administration, as was pointed out

after each stumble, in the wake of
every foolish utterance, Allen has
chirruped, well, you have done the
best you could"
Always Wrong Note.
This was meant to cheer his bene-

because President Truman COM

mistakes. The President should
have been told that no one docs
