Show GOP Approaches 92nd Birthday The Republican Party will celebrate its ninety-second birthday birth-day on July 6th under conditions far removed from the early years of its history when it practically had a monopoly under the management man-agement of government. The Democrats have been in charge of the national government govern-ment for less than thirty-six years during the long life of the party which began before the great war which almost severed the nation. Even in the present century, the G.O.P's have controlled con-trolled the national government for more than half of the years. Only under Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Truman have the Democrats occupied the White House. The Republican Party continues contin-ues to live despite dire prophecies proph-ecies of its opponents and in spite of the serious cleavage that undoubtedly un-doubtedly differentiates the liberal lib-eral and conservative groups. It will probably last for many years and its leaders are increasingly optimistic as to the immediate future, belicvng that the election this fall may mark the beginning of a return to power. |
