Influence the children religiously

nothing but ridicule and oppo-

By the time the Chief Justice

nounced. Ten more were certain
and one other practically certain.
Only Senator Ross vote was
needed to convict the President
The hopes and fears, hatred and
bitterness of past decades were
centered on this one man.

! glomeration of all the charges
in the preceding articles.
Mr.. Johnson's able counsel re-
piled with considerable effective
ness. But it became increasingly
apparent that the Republicans
did not intend to give the Presi-
dent a fair trial.
Telling evidence in the Presi-
dents favor was arbitrarily ex-
Ecluded. Attempted bribery and
other forms of pressure were
rampant.
Thirty-six votes were required
to constitute the two-thirds ma
jority necessary for conviction,
All IL Democratic votes were OBJ
viously lost. And the AZ Repub-
licans knew that they could af-
ford to lose only six Of their own
members If Mr.. johnson were to
be ousted. To their dismay, at
a preliminary caucus, six coura-
geous Republicans indicated that
the evidence was not in their
opinion sufficient to convict the
President.

publicans would hold, there
would be no doubt as to the
outcome. One Republican Sem

Senator Ross had casually re-
marked to a colleague: $50 far

Republican and opposed to Mr.,
Johnson and his policy, he shall
have as fair a trial as an ac-
cused man ever had on this
earth"
Senator Ross and his doubtful
fellow Republicans were daily
subjected to every form Of pres
sure. Their residences were
watched, their social circles sus-
piciously scrutinized. and their
every move and companions Sc
cretly marked. They were warned
in the party press. harangued by
their constituents. and sent dire
warnings threatening political
ostracism and even assasSina-

/ With no experience in political
turmoil. no reputation in the
