This article focuses on the responsibilities Carroll Reece, a Republican Party worker in the U.S. In Kentucky, Democratic Representative Earle C. Clements was swept into the governorship in a landslide that ended four years of Republican control. Reece might have had an easier time minimizing the national implications of this overthrow if his own party had not pilloried Representative Clements for having voted against the Taft-Hartley bill. Indiana, which should logically be well up in front in any visible Republican trend, must have disappointed Reece even more surely. It is in New York, however that the Republicans appear to have had their sharpest setbacks.
