Bricker lashes Senator Barkley
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (UP) –
Ohio Governor John W. Bricker was scheduled to make an address at Wichita, Kansas, today following his address at a Republican rally here last night in which he accused Senate Majority Leader Alben W. Barkley of “taking orders from the New Deal on Capitol Hill.”
Governor Bricker, candidate for the Republican nomination for the Presidency, said Senator Barkley’s visit to Oklahoma on behalf of W. G. Stigler, Democratic candidate in today’s special election, was “an example of the inconsistencies in which New Dealers engage to retain power.”
Governor Bricker spoke here on behalf of his own candidacy for the presidential nomination, but took advantage of Senator Barkley’s appearance at Muskogee to snipe at the Senate leader and at the same time boost the GOP special election candidate.
