Arnall Sees Democratic Discipline Weakness and 1948 Risk
Arnall criticizes local city machines as dilapidated and driven by practical politicians. He says loss of Congress in 1946 could help Democrats in 1948, urging party discipline to avoid defeat. He notes Republicans are torn by ideological rifts while Democrats need clear restatement of policies. The piece contrasts party dynamics with a remark on average bus lifespans of eight years.
