Fought Mckay

Dickinson's outstanding political
achievement came after his nomi-
nation by the Republican Party
last September when he set out to
unhorse Mckay and other bosses.
He persuaded the party's conven-
ton to turn against Atty. Gen.
Thomas Read, who was McKay's
candidate for another term in that
office. and nominate Herbert j.
RuShton. who is now the attorney
general-elect.
He made history by appointing
Mrs. Matilda Dodge Wilson as
lieutenant governor the first
woman to sit as a member of the
board.
With the federal government
upon a national defense
Dickinson jumped into
action and created the first state
defense council in the nation He
former governor WILDER
NJ Brucker as director and took
initial steps toward defense meas
ures which ultimately may prove
extremely important.

Ambassador Kennedy Speaks

Mr.. Kennedys radio broadcast held a
unique place in the presidential cam
paign. Most recently returning from
London his knowledge of conditions
there and of the policies of the United
States in this World War we're enough to
claim the attention of every American
Outstanding in his address was his state
ment that this nation has not entered
into any treaty or understanding of any
sort whatsoever of which the nation at
large has not been informed. He added
that President Roosevelt has not entered
into and such agreement That statement
is a direct answer to the question
of MI. Willkie directed to President
Roosevelt as to whether or not any secret
arrangement or agreement existed be-
tween the United States and Great Bril-
tain.
Ambassador Kennedy stated unequivoc-
ally that Great Britain does not want us
to enter the war and that President
Roosevelt has no intention of entering
the war. He gave compelling reasons
why President Roosevelt does not wish to
enter the war and why Great Britain
would be harmed rather than helped by
our entry. The ambassador went into
detail to explain why our soldiers will not
and cannot be shipped to Europe. The
reasons were convincing. The address
was one to bring a sense of relief to those
who have listened to charges made solely
for political purposes. Mr.. Roosevelt and
Mr.. Kennedy are each in position to
know what is going on and the only way
to dispute their statements is to say and
to believe that they are both guilty of
deliberate cold-blooded deceit. This can
not be done, since an accuser could not
possibly have shadow of proof to convict
them.
