SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday. NoTmbr 7, 19S4 Martin Credits Ike With Keeping GOP Close to Democrats Washington (U.R) House Speaker Joseph W. Martin Jr. credits President Eisenhower's last-minute campaign activities with averting an even worse election defeat for the Republi cans. The Massachusetts Republican said in an interview that Mr. Eisenhower, along with Vice President Richard M. Nixon, made such a powerful appeal to Republican voters that, given another week, they might have turned the tide. Did Good Job "If it hadn't been for the President the Republican vote would have been smaller, Martin said. "He did a good job of arousing the Republican vo ters. If we had had another week we could have beaten the Democrats." Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson, meanwhile, declared that he was "sorry that in the heat of the campaign' the Republicans "questioned the character and patriotism" sof Democrats. While he did not say so, John son's remark appeared to be aimed in part at Nixon who stumped the country attacking what he called "left-wing" Democrats. "But that's water over the bridge," Johnson said on his arrival here from Texas Friday night. "The election is over and it is the high and solemn duty of the American people to con duct themselves in their highest traditions." Don't Want Warfar Johnson also declared that the American people don't want "jungle warfare" between the Republican administration and the Democratic Congress. Martin said Mr. Eisenhower still is immensely popular. He predicted, as he has previously, that the President will be a can didate again in 1956 and that he will be reelected. - " ... "I think conditions in the country will make it necessary for the President to be a candi date again," he said. "As one who has never failed to answer a call to duty, the President will answer that one too."
