dieted their party will get better
than an even break.
The leader, just back from the
west coast, is John Danaher,
former senator from Connecticut
and now $20,000-a-year congres
sional aide to the republican na
tional committee. He expressed
his opinions in an interview.
Danaher visited six states
Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Cali
fornia, Utah and Arizona. He
said he talked to public and pri
vate meetings of party workers,
business men, labor and farm
organization representatives and
civic leaders.
Appliei to Nations
His claim of 40 overturns of
democratic seats applied to the
nation. But he said party mem
bers told him the GOP would
gain a minimum of 10 seats in
California and three in Wash
ington. . Danaher said California repub
licans "expect to re-elect Sena
tor Knowland" and Washington
republicans "expect to beat" Sen
ator Mitchell, democrat, with
Harry P. Cain, former mayor of
Tacoma. Cain was defeated for
the senate in 1944 by Senator
Magnuson, democrat. Cain was
serving in the army In England
at the time.
Danaher also said his inform
ants told him the republicans
had a "good chance" of captur
ing the seat of Senator McFar
land (D-Ariz.) and a house mem
bership from that state.
