The Missing Republican Voters

Party adopted o "conserva-
tive" line. did the number Of
Republican votes actually In
crease In 1858 over the vote
for members Of Congress In
1856.
Lest II be thought that
there Is something special
or unusual about the 1858
congressional election. the
statistics show that the Re-
publicans. while losing 8.6
million votes as compared
with 1856, had q total vote In
1858 Of 3.8 million fewer than
in 1854. This happened even
though the voting population
in the country was increasing
in the interval. It Is true there
also was q recession IN 1854.
but the fact remains that the
Republicans didn't get their
vote. and the Democrats did.
The Democratic success
was due primarily TO the
superior machinery of the
Democrats In getting out the
vote, principally in the ranks
Of union-labor families. Thus.
the public opinion polls show
that In 1858 the labor vote
divided IS per cent to the
Democrats and IS per cent
to the Republicans. which is
almost exactly what 1t was
two years before in the
Eisenhower election. This
means that, as the Democrats
got their vote to the polls
and the Republicans didn't.
the labor vote. being normal,
swelled the totals for the
Democrats.
The advantage the Demo-
Gratis have In q labor-union
political apparatus that costs
many millions Of dollars is
plain to see. Unless the Re-
publicans find ways Of get
ting out their conservative"
vote, the Congress will be
more and more dominated
by the ''pro-labor" and "pro-
radical" blocs which believe
in more and more govern
mental control Of everything
except their own group &C
tivities A counterpart of
the British Socialist Labor
Party will then emerge In the
United States.

What happened to the SO
million Republicans who
voted in 1856 but didn't vote
In 1858?
This is the puzzling ques-
ton that is stirring the Re-
publican Party leaders as they
strive now to write q plat
form designed TO bring CON
sentative" and "nonconserv-
alive" groups together behind
a single expression Of party
policy.
At first glance, 1t might be
assumed that most Of the
SO million Republicans voted
Democratic and that. there
fore. the Republican plat
form now might better imi-
tate the Democrats. But q
closer look at the Democratic
total shows that most Of the
8.6 million Republicans.
couldn't have voted Demo-
cratic. For even II some Of
them did, this didn't make
UP for defections from the
Democratic Party. The total
of all votes for the Demo-
cratic ticket for members
of Congress throughout the
Nation in the last election
was "a million fewer in the
1858 congressional elections
than the party got in 1856
for members of Congress. OF
this total who didn't vote,
more than half were in the
South. Thus, the loss in the
North for the Democrats
was about IL million.
Two facts, therefore, stand
out. One is that both parties
lost votes. and the other that
the Republicans, had the
larger loss.
But why. 1t may be asked,
do fewer persons vote for
members Of Congress than
for the presidential candi-
date? A drop-oi in the total
vote might be expected in
an off-year election. because
there is no single figure run
ing for office at the top Of
the ticket. but the real ques-

In the winter Of 1899 Adolf
Hitler was telling an anxious
world that all he wanted in
order to satisfy the last aspi-

wanted was the free city OF
Danzig and the road was

The trouble which broke

only a prelude to bigger and

whether the leader of the
rebels. Col. Abdel Shawaf, q
strong pro-Nasser sympa-
thizer, will be able to make
his movement stick unless
the Kremlin has been playing
a double game with one Of its
most recent puppets, Gen.
Kassem. The fact is that
Kassem should be well pro-
vided with all the necessary
military equipment for more
than putting down a rebellion.
In the last few months
Kassem has received either
from the Soviet Union or
from Czechoslovakia eight
shiploads of tanks and other
modern military equipment.
