The Alibi Club

After a proper interval, a few words were spoken about the departed and the causes of death.

Henry Wallace: "It was a light vote." (He was wrong. The vote: 33,000,000-- 6,000,000 more than in the last off-year election of 1942).

Jack Kroll, national director of C.I.O.P.A.C.: "It was a negative vote."

Lewis G. Hansen, Boss Frank Hague's defeated candidate for governor: "The man I am sorry for is Mayor Hague. [He] said the Republicans would have won even if they had put up a German."

Harry Bridges: "A cry of protest against Truman and his complete betrayal of the Roosevelt program and promises."

The Communist Daily Worker: "The Truman Government caved in ... and put up no defense of the F.D.R. heritage."

Pennsylvania's defeated Democratic Senator Joe Guffey: "The people evidently wanted a change."

An anonymous Chicago Democratic precinct captain: "It was them bastards that shouldn't oughta vote which voted and beat us."'
