Middle Road For GOP Is Predicted
Senator Bridges of New Hampshire predicts the Republican party will nominate a moderate candidate in 1948 and not drift to extremes. He cites Governor Earl Warren as an example of the kind of man he has in mind and criticizes Secretary Wallace for asserting a reactionary GOP would win and be defeated in 1948. Bridges says Democrats lack leadership and California shows no strong governor candidate for their ticket. Warren won both party nominations to succeed himself in the California primary. Wallace argues against a third party and backs the Democrats as the Progressive alternative.
