have a right to say that he was
quite a ruthless opponent"
Mr.. Voorhis, now head of the
American Coop League, gave
this description of the 1916
campaign:
Il was confronted with a
clever sort of innuendo L
was represented as being a
hand-picked candidate of GER
tain organizations which, Incl
dentally, never did indorse me,
and their philosophy was at
tackled as being Red-tinged j.. :.
"The philosophy which guided
Mr.. Nixon's politics was the
general philosophy that the
way to win is to tear down
ones opponent, in every way one
can. Never by quite classifying,
but coming very, very close to
it :"
Mr.. Chotiner said, however,
that in that campaign and the
1850 contest in which Mr.. Nixon
defeated Congresswon.an Helen
Gahagan Douglas to move on
to the Senate, Il am satisfied
that nothing was ever done by
Mr.. Nixon, or anyone connected
with his campaign who had any
authority to act, that would be
considered an unfair tactic"
Douglas Voting Record
1.-THE only thing that was
ever pointed out against Mrs.
Douglas was her voting record,
and If that was an attack on
her, of course she had no one
to blame but herself :" Mr..
Chotner added. !
Speaking of the airing of
charges against him before the
House Committee on Un-Amer-
lean activities, of which Mr..
Nixon was a member, Mr.. Hiss
said he didn't know if Mr..
Nixon was politically mott
But, he added, II GER
tainly don't think that he was
of the political boost,
the political soaring up into
outer space that the hearings
and the subsequent trial pro-
yided for him -"
Mr.. Hiss added:
II regard his activities as
notivated by ambition, by per- 4
onal self-serving, which were
lot directed at me in a hostile
ense He was responding
o a situation in this country
and riding it rather than |
.ctually creating it, I think. Il
IF it hadn't been Mr.. Nix 8
n" Mr.. Hiss went on, per
laps someone else would have !
ried to jump into the same I
ituation and benefit by It," !
Feelings Toward Nixon
Mr.. Hiss denied he held ANY ,
ceilings of hostility" toward !
Ir. Nixon, but made clear that
i don't have any feelings Of h
,reat personal warmth or af-
'ection."
