Republican Victory Inevitable Says Hill in Montgomery
Senate majority leader in the 79th Congress Senator Hill says the Republican victory in Tuesday's general election was inevitable but should not be seen as a wholesale shift from liberalism to conservatism. He notes historical patterns where party wins in elections do not guarantee the presidency, cites Roosevelt era dynamics, and criticizes Republican influence as mainly stemming from antiincumbent sentiment and irritations after 14 years of administration.
