PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
Republican Party Opens Campaign "Shooting War" In March
Washington, Jan, 25.
The national leaders of the Kepublican Party gathered in Washington in the latter part of January, formally to open their campaign to oust President Truman and the Democratic Administration at the Presidential election in November.
Their meeting marked the opening of the Republi- can Party campaign as distinct from the campaign of individual Republicans aimed at persuading the Republican Party to nominate them as the Party's candidates for the Pre- sidency at the Party Convention in June.
