Christmas
Invitation
By Katherine Edelmon

lack TRESLAR hunched his
- broad shoulders deeper into the
big chajr. turning new page OF his
book. He was reading Christmas
story, trying hard to become ab-
sorbed in the tale
A sharp ring from the telephone
brought him to his feet. Who could
be calling him on Christmas eve?
A strange voice responded to his
hello" II hate to bother you on
Christmas eve, Mr.. Treslar. But
I'm ringing up to ask if it would be
possible for you to come and spend
Christmas with me. My name is
Bevan Willers. I live out at Rich
mond. have a big home, and"
''But-but I don't even know you.
Mr.. Willers. There must be some

emphatic. Twill you come or not?"

ton. IL had thought Of spending

Wouldn't it be possible to change
your plans? I have feeling they

Candidacy For COP President

international affairs, now that a
war is on. None is inclined at this
stage of the game to rule him out
of the picture. His ability as a
vote getter was demonstrated
when he was defeated narrowly
by Herbert H. Lehman in New
York.
Dewey is only 81 years old, and
some dopesters incline toward the
belief that his youthfulness will
operate against his chances. That
is being argued as especially pos
sible if the European war still
RACES by convention time. Those
who take that view also regard
Dewey as excellent vice presiden-
tial timber, especially if a mid
westener, such as Vandenberg, is
given first place on the ticket.
Many experts believe that the
Republicans will go to the Mid
or far west for their candidate
because of the Importance the
farm vote will have in the 1910
decision.
Dewey will be advanced by his
managers as a "middle-of-the
road" candidate sufficiently con-
sentative to please party stand
patters yet sufficiently to the left
of the ultra-conservatives to
draw heavily from the liberals
who have been in the Democratic
! Damn since 1899

WASHINGTON, Dec. Am
nouncement by Thomas Dewey of
his candidacy for the 1910 Re-
publican presidential nomination
clarified the political picture to-
night, but experts withheld opin-
ions, pending his keynote"
speech this week at Minneapolis.
Dewey's formal entry into the
race brought to four the number
actively seeking the Republican
nomination. The others are Sena-
tors Arthur H. Vandenberg of
Michigan, Robert A. Taft of Ohio,
and H. Styles Bridges of New
Hampshire.
The situation contrasts with the
democratic picture which will re-
main incomplete until President
Roosevelt's third-term intentions
are known.
Two Democrats are fighting for
their party's nomination. Vice
President John N. Garner is Wag-
ing a nationwide drive because
his managers are convinced the
President will not seek third
term. Federal Security Admins
traitor Paul V. McNutt had stated
that he would withdraw in favor
of Mr.. Roosevelt if the President
seeks the office again.
The experts want to know
more about Dewey's view, not
only ON national problems. but on
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1939-12-07

Chief insight into Dewey's at
titude on national questions
comes from two speeches he
made in the fall of 1888 when he
was campaigning for the New
York governorship.
He accused the new deal of
"callously wasting public funds
for political purposes; recog-
nized relief as primary duty of
government; defended honest

ed greed of monopolies"; criti-
cized "past excuses of business"
as responsible for expanding gov

fight for revival of business,

products, advancement for the

of civil liberties and adequate

er all, there might be something to
this unusual invitation.
"You are right about my plans,
he admitted. They are rather In
the air. But-but going to spend
Christmas with an utter stranger

That's why I thought you might

however"
Jack thought again of the lonely
Christmas before him And before
he could debate the question, he
heard voice inside of him answer
ing, calling through the wire to Rich
mond, You got the right man, Mr.
Willers. I'm coming"
An hour later, bathed and dressed,
Jack Treslar was speeding along the
frosted highway to Richmond. Fol-
lowing the detailed instructions that
had been given him, Jack found the
long winding drive leading from the
roadway. What a secluded, ghostly
place, he thought, as he drove un-
der the snow-sprinkled trees.
D EVAN WILLERS was waiting. In
- the dim light from the chande-
lier, his tall bent figure seemed gro
tesque. Il have let the servants
away for the evening"" he said, his
bony hand motioning toward the end
of the Swallowed hall.
Jack Treslar felt twinge of fear
as he followed. Here he was-alone
in the house with this strange old
man. Anything could happen. There
wasn't another residence within
blocks. Then, his adventurous spir-
it reasserted itself, and he looked
smilingly across the table at Bevan
Willers. well, what's it all about?"
A dead silence was the only an
swer. Gray eyes under heavy bris
ting brows stared at him intently.
Jack stared back unfinchingly.
Then hearty laugh rang through
the library. With amazement Jack
saw the old man straighten up in
his chair. Years seemed to fall off
his shoulders. The twisted, gro
tescue appearance vanished as if by
magic. He spoke quietly.
"I'm not crazy" he began; I'm
just a lonely old fellow, ticketed as
a sort of recluse. The true facts
are that I've been trying for years
to write. Yesterday got word that
q story Of mine had been accepted"
But I still don't understand your

 Senator Borah said the group concurred on this following state ment, We are still willing, as has been our position from the first. to accept the Administration bill if the Administration will leave in the law the embargo on arms and ammunitions and other implements of war, and provide for cash in- stead of credit for other commodi- ties.
