Pleasant Iowa Friday evening november ii. 1�,8 by Carrier a per week by mail s3-so per year republicans Are discouraged because most of them assume that come what May they can make no recovery and that their party is dead. This i have heard regularly from 1932 to 1952 then came Eisenhower and the republicans were jubilant. The difficulty was that Eisenhower was Eisenhower and not a Republican or Democrat but just a Soldier who had become a popular figure. Now six years later.
