U.S. REPUBLICAN PARTY
McCarthy’ Disclaims Leadership Aim
NEW YORK. December 1. Senator Joseph McCarthy denied emphatically last night that his recent nation-wide radio and television talk indicated a split in the Republican Party. “I think you are going to have a good strong Republican Party. You can’t have a follow-my-leader party. All members should be able to express their own opinions,” he said. A reporter asked Senator McCarthy if he was trying to wrest Republican leadership from the President. The Senator replied: “Ever since I have been engaged in this fight to expose Communism certain newspaper editors and columnists have been very active in shouting and screaming I am trying to take over the power of the Republican Party. “I am not concerned with what they lay. If I wasted time worrying about that I would not have time to worry about anything else.”
