Nashville, Ind, Sept. lift Wen
dell Willkie receives in November
one vote for every headache inVolv-
ed in planning and running his
campaign train swing through
the west, he'll win the election In a
landslide.
There are innumerable complica-
tons in arranging 7,O00-mile trip
for the Ai-car private train over the
rails. of a dozen different roads,
through thousands of towns. For
two weeks this train will be both
home and Office for nearly one hun
dred of the busiest men and women
in the United States today-the
candidate, his family, his personal
party, reporters, photographers, and
newsreel cameramen.
Biggest headache is not the tech
nical problem of making up the
train and switching and shunting
it across the west and back. The big
problem is itinerary. Every hamlet
along the projected route expects
the candidate to stop, "even If it's
only for two minutes" Local poll
ticos predict dire results in Novem-
Der If the candidate SnubS their
locale by training through without
stopping.
AS early as July 8, for example,
even before western trip had been
announced, 5000 citizens of Aber-
deem, Wash, signed huge wooden,
postcard" mailed it to Mr.. Willkie
in Elwood, Ind. postage: $8.7O,
urging him to visit Aberdeen.
several factors are involved in
selecting stops even for a fve-min-
ute rear platform greeting. Politi-
cal expediency naturally dictates
certain visits. Others are Of neces-
sity ruled out because the can
didate's special must pass through
them at night.
Early morning stops are avoided
because they put too much STRAIN
on a candidate. Then, especially IN
the hamlets, there is the question OF
ADEQUATE police protection Gin addi-
ton to the two New York City de-
tectives travelling with the party.
BRING ON
THE ASPIRIN
For the candidates press secre-
taries there are additional head
aches in arranging for reporters
and photographers. Many stops will
have inadequate telegraph facilities
to handle the yeriage of 40 to SO
reporters. Special lines must be run
in. I'm Rushville, Western Union
multiplied existing facilities by I'D
At every stop, particularly If side
trips are planned, an advance man
must precede the candidate to ar
range for press facilities. The prob
lem Of baggage on side trips alone
keeps another man busy almost full
time.
Reporters and photographers
travelling, with the Willkie party
say it's unsafe to let the candidate
out of sight, even for 80 seconds.
They know the candidate too well
to hope that on the train he will
stay on the rear platform, as sched-
uled. rather than take news
making, hard-to-follow dash around
town.

Good evening.
WORDS TO THE WISE
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

Now is the time for everybody
To be up and doing,
No use to sit idly by
Spending your time in stewing
Don't be too pessimistic,
Neither an optimist be,
Strike happy medium between the two
In this land Of the free.
Don't take things too easy,
Your forefathers were demons for WORK.
Titled the soil, lived off their land,
They never heard the word shlrk.
Soft living doesn't make the man
For man is born to toll, wyote the oaro
The best things in life come to us all
BY way that is more or less hard.
A word to the wise is sufficient,
Don't be caught mapping
Tomorrow you may be shaking hands
With the chap today you are rapping
Don't let life get you down,
Out and up with the chin,
A sourpuss never gets to base,
It's the fellow with the grin.
