A glorious summer of complacency has followed on a winter of discontent. In Florida, voters shook hands amiably. Only about half as many turned out to vote at the conclusion of this monumentally silly campaign as voted in the earlier primary for local offices. In the New York "Herald-Tribune," Roscoe Drummond reports that the Republicans are worried that the San Francisco convention will be a dud. A number of meanings may be found in the current campaign by a group of the more odious right-wing Republicans and Democrats to enact legislation which would "curb" the Supreme Court by setting aside the so-called "pre-emption doctrine" on which the Court relied in declaring the Pennsylvania Sedition Act unconstitutional.
