the election in the enthusiasm to
replace Mr.. Truman with some OF
the announced and the unan-
nounced Republican candidates" the

ference whether he would be cam

Senator Tydings observed that the
1948 Republican candidate may have
to stand or fall on the record made
by the GOP-controlled Congress.
The Republicans can't dodge re-
sponsibility there any more" he de-
clared. IF they have a good pro-
gram, they win get a lot Of help

sibility is theirs TO make the policies
