Senator Taft said.

can refuse to accept Mr.. Truman's

Mr. Truman obviously has
heard the voice Of the people,
The faint chorus OF noes greet

that efforts to get him to recon-

The question now is: What
Democrat can defend his admin

Republican victory in November
can assure the honest, competent
government that this country
needs"
