Elec ion-chastened Republicans
won’t oppose all of those. In fact
Dewey was for some of them.
But if the Republicans were
maimed by ihe one-man gang ac
tivities of Mr. Truman in Tues
day’s voting, they weren’t dis
membered.
A lot of them won’t be back in
Congress. But the Republican
leadership there will remain the
same, with Rep. Joseph W. Mar
tin, Jr. (Mass.) bossing the House
minority and Senator Robert A.
Taft (Ohio) continuing to gun
things pretty much on the Repub
lican side of the Senate.
Taft shrugged off the election ,
results with the observation that
they proved it is almost impossi
ble “to put an administration out
of office at the very peak of a
prosperity boom.”
Taft and Martin are likely to
figure with the battered GOP’s

best chance for a comeback in
1950 rests with making Mr. Tru
man look bad on his campaign
promises.
The Democrats hold an appar
ent 260 to 174 margin over the
Republicans in the House (There
is one minor party member) and a
certain 54 to 42 edge in the Sen
ate.
Whether Mr. Truman can get
much more in the way of legisla
tion out of such a Democratic
controlled Congress remains to be
seen.
Southern Democrats who have
never been too enthusiastic about
some of his policies will be back in
the saddle as chairmen of many
important committees.
They may have a new respect
for Mr. Truman as a political
windmill who can chop down the
opposition at the ballot boxes. But
a lot f them think the President
carried Southern Slates simply be
cause he was the Democratic can
didate and not because—for in
stance—he advocated repeal of
the Taft-Hartley act.
Two things seemed certain:
Henry Wallace is through as a
national political figure. He got
little over 1,000,000 out of a total
vote that may fall considerably
short of the expected 50,000,000
mark.
