sonalities" in the 1850 campaign
and was not directly responsible
for the tactics employed against
Mr.. Tydings. Chairman Butler
said:
Actually. there was only one
oersonality-Joe McCarthy-that
John Butler needed to stand up
against. And the responsibility
for smear attacks on Senator
Tydings rests entirely on one in
dividual who was short on
decency and courage, John M.
Butler himself. He hasn't i'm
proved the picture by adding this
show of weakness to the record
Of venality."

have a right to demand that
Senator Butler repudiate the
methods used in his 1850 cam
paign."
The Democratic chairman said
there is something wrong with
the moral stamina" of the Re-

attempts to claim that he was an
innocent bystander caught in
the middle in 1850" between
Senator Mccarthy. Republican
of Wisconsin, and former Sena-
tor Millard E. Tydings, the man
Senator Butler unseated.
The Democratic chairman
made his attack on Senator But
Ter before about 200 persons at
a dinner put on here by the

cratic Club. The affair Glimaxed
a day of campaigning in the
county by George P. Mahoney,
s. n a tor Buffers Democratic

Noting that he might be criti-
cized for coming into Maryland
and speaking disparagingly Of
one of its citizens" Chairman
Butler said he felt he was justi-
fed by the recent allegations of
angelic Dick Nixon" that mo-
rality Is a G. o. P. virtue.
