tial, educational background, and
citizenship officer qualities,

Republican Losses

a little better, than the minority.
“There is a divergence between
presidential and congressional lead-
ership. And there is a difficulty in
formulating and advocating a presi-
dential view at a mid-term election.”
“The minority has a chance of
picking up seats in close districts,
perhaps fifty to seventy-five mar-
ginal districts.”
“The story is entirely different
appeal of the candidate may be of
much greater weight than in House
contests. The Senatorial constitu-
encies are likely to have a diversity
that tends to underrate views. The
House has more homogeneous con-
stituencies.”
“The Majority Party has less dif-
ficulty than the Minority in present-
ing a united front, as I stated ear-
Jier in the discussion, because the
president is a leader and the party
has a program in the record.” |
Glance At History
“If you will just look back through
history yeu will find that the politi-
cal habits of this Country do not
accept, as quite proper, the proposi-
tion that the president should make
an appeal to elect a Congress favor-
able to himself. And the sentiment
is, at mid-term elections, that sena-
tors and representatives should be
ambassadors of the localities in
Washington. The individual legisla-
tor should remain independent in
his views, otherwise he becomes lit-
tle more than a rubber stamp.”
“Now again look at the records
of past history—President Woodrow
Wilson made a real blunder in 1918,
but Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1942
exercised real shrewdness and said
nothing, whatever, on the matter
of having a Congress favorable to
him.”
“A president should not make an
appeal, and if you will study care-
fully each administration in the past
you will find that every president
who entered a mid-term campaign
has lost the campaign. And that goes
for the minority party. It has been
proven that presidents have not
been able to transfer their populari-
ty to their candidates, for the sim-
ple reason that voters seem to re-
sent his. Because of the number of
factors which enter into this type
of election it has been found, down
through the Country’s history, with
few exceptions, that the party in
power loses between twenty and
twenty-five seats. And I am sorry
to have to say this to those Re-
publicans in this audience.”
“Let's go back to 1950—President
Truman made only one trip across
the Country and the Democrats lost
five Senate and thirty House seats.”
In 1928 Franklin D. Roosevelt
even went into the primaries and
won one out of nine.”
“In 1918 Woodrow Wilson sought
the House since th: Senate was
Democratic—the Democrats lost six
Senate and nineteen House seats;
and the Republicans controlled both
houses.”
“Ih 1906 Theodore Roosevelt
sought a Republican Congress and
as a result the Republicans lost
twenty-eight seats in the House.”
“In 1898 President McKinley
sought a Republican Congress and
the Republicans lost twenty-one
seats in the House.
“In 1866 President Johnson want-
ad to underrate the Reconstruction

Program and the radicals took both
houses and impeached him.”
“In 1858 President Buchanan
sought to oust Senator Douglas but
he was re-elected to the Senate.”
“This foregoing record certainly
proves to everybody here that the
presidential vote-getting magic does
not rub off onto others.”
“Republican strategists have def-
initely failed to build up the pres-
tige of the Republican party for this
mid-term election. And President
Eisenhower himself has not attacked
the Democratic Party to create pres-
tige for his own party. He is still a
hero and no Democrat in his right
mind will challenge that. But the
fact that he, Eisenhower, has not
challenged the Democratic Party has
lead people to beliece that the step
is normally Democratic, so that Re-
publicans will be going to a normal
trend which shows up in our history.
After two years the voters still
think of Eisenhower on one hand,
and the Republican party on the
other—two entirely separate con-
cepts. The Democrats remind voters
that the Republican party is a party
of depression and unemployment
and that absolutely nc confidence
has been created in the Republican
party. And if the Democrats do win
it will be because the Republicans
have not done enough to build up
the prestige of the party.”
“As far as statistics show, the
trend of the government has been
Democratic. But the Republicans
still feel that they can make the
Senate.

Farm Census To
Start Monday
Farmers Asked To
Fill Questionnaires
Field work in the 1954 Census of
Agriculture gets underway locally
on Monday when a force of enum-
erators will start visiting every
farm in the area.
Farm census questionaires have
been mailed to all farm operators.
The enumerators will visit all local
farms to collect the questionnaires
and, if necessary, assist the farmer
in filling out the report form.
The 1954 Cenus of Agriculture is
the 16th in a series of nationwide
farm enumerations, the first of
which was conducted in 1840. The
Census of Agriculture is taken at
five-year intervals to provide up to
date statistical information about
more than five million farms which
supply food and raw materials for
manufacture of goods used by the
people of the United States, now
numbering about 162.5 million. The
current census will yield informa-
tion on the number and size of
farms, acreage and harvest of crops,
livestock production and inventor-
ies, selected farm facilities and
equipment and selected farm ex-
penitures.
Field Supervisor Dr. John J.
Stoudt emphasized that all infor-
mation about individuals and their
farm operations furnished to the
Census Bureau is held in absolute
confidence under Federal law. It is
used only to provide summary fig-
ures such as totals, averages, and
percentages. The information on an
individual report cannot be furnish-
ed to any one other than sworn
Census employees and thus cannot
be used for investigation taxation
or regulation.
