|raeeous man," Taylor told re-
porters that the former wee
President will be "called q Rus
sian sympathizer and a fifth col
unnist but he certainly is fight
ing the good fight"
"Our present foreign policy IS
lust plain stupid" he declared.
The Panamanian incident was
the latest example Of how stupid
it is. It's an overgrown bully
foreign policy"
Senator Edwin c. johnson
(D-Colo) said that while he ex-
poets Wallace's entry to influ-
ence the Republicans choice OF
a Presidential nominee, he
doesn't believe the former cabl-
net members strength will be
such as to affect the outcome
| in even such critical states as
New York and California.
II think President Truman
will carry both New York and
California, no matter who tn e
Republican nominee is," john
son told a newsman. "But the
Republicans are likely to think
that his entry will give them
New York and that deals a po-
litical death blow to Governor
Thomas E. Dewey Of New
York"
Differing sharply with john
son on this point, Senator Know
land (R-Calif) said Wallace's
race "will have a considerable
adverse effect on the Demo-
cratic party not only in Califor-
MIA but also in New York, Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Michigan and
possibly one or two other
states"
:sEven though Mr.. Wallace
runs a poor third, it will deeply
cut into Democratic support and
50 be a considerable factor in
the 1913 race" the Californian
said.
Senator Capper (R-Kans) pre-
dicted Wallace will be "a weak
third man in the race" adding:
"He hasn't got any great fol-
lowing in the country, at least
the part of the country that !
come from. He won't get very
far in Kansas"
Senator McCarrAn <D-Nev)
said Wallace "goes into this
knowing full we'll he has no
chance whatsoever except per-
haps to vent his spleen against
President Truman.
McCarran predicted Wallace
twill draw votes from both
parties about equally" He add
ed:
ellis candidacy will form a
resting place for the votes Of all
Communistically inclined peo-
pie. Aside from that, I think k
there is nothing to worry
about"
Other comment:
Senator Ecton (R-Mont): II
am not surprised, as I expect
ed him to. I think he has quite
a following in this country. am
interested in good old Republi-
canism In this country and I
think it will help the Republican
cause"
Senator Wiley (R-Wis c):
Judging from the present po-
litical atmosphere I think it will
have the effect Of benefiting the
Republican nominee in Califor-
MIA, New York and Illinois. Wal
lace will get a lot Of the ex-
trenae leftist votes"
Senator Mcfarland (D-Ariz):
Il think he will be surprised at
how few followers he has. He
won't get anywhere, and I doubt
whether he will carry a single
state"
Senator Dworshak (R-1daho):
1T would be speculation to try
to predict what effect Wallace's
decision will have on the presi-
dental election. I presume it
will have some effect if he gets
on the ballots in many states
but I don't think Wallace has
too many followers in 1dah."
Rep. Brown (R-Ohio), chair
man of the National Taft-f r.
President committee: "While
there never has been any ques-
ton in my mind about the cleo
ton if a Republican President in
1948, the announcement of Mr..
Wallace should make this result
apparent to ALL"
Rep. Hendricks (D-Fla)
Good riddance. Mr.. Wallace is
now a renee eade Republican and
Democrat. II will help the Dem
ocratic party to be rid of him
and his followers.
"Mr John l.. Lewis bolted
and tried to carry the CLIO. for
Mr.. Dewey against the party but
he failed. There is every evil
dence that the true liberals are
already deserting Mr.. Wallace. -
Representative Hoffman (R-
Mich): "It's a wonderfully fine
thing. Now maybe he will get
all the crackpots on one ticket.
Then if Senator Vandenberg and
Senator Taft split on foreign
| policy. that will leave the tvo
