That Maverick Morse. Critical Test in Oregon

There are many sham election battles throughout the U.S. in which it will be difficult to determine, without the help of a score card, who is the Republican and who is the Democrat. But there is no doubt in Oregon. Wayne Morse is a johnny-come-lately in formal party affiliation, he is one Democrat who can say that his votes, his public utterances, his entire record come close to coinciding with what the Democratic Party professes to stand for. His opponent, Douglas McKay, get support from U.S. President Dwight David Eisenhower. The deep hatred which National Chairman Leonard W. Hall and other Republican leaders bear toward Morse arises because he left their party while still in office and reduced their numerical strength in the Senate.
