Yesterday the world champions romped over the

26 hits to prove to the critics that they are still a menace

California Campaigners
Meet Starting Difficulties

special Dispatch to The Star.
LOS ANGELES. Sept. IA. - The
California trend continued to hover
uncertainty between President Roose-
welt and Wendell L. Willkie this week
as campaigners for both candidates
seemed to ind difficulty in getting
under way.
In the midst OF the slow week,
man-in- the-street talk drifted away
from Mr.. Willkie, but not in sufficient
degree to warrant restoration of
early-season odds on Mr.. Roosevelt.
After last June IS the novelty Of
seeing the first colortul Republican
standard-bearer in eight years had
the name Of Willkie On every tongue.
But, as was inevitable the mere fact
of his candidacy soon became
threadbare as a conversational topic
and comment on him became less
rife.
There was a certain reaction
against Mr.. Roosevelt equally as
difficult to evaluate, after the an
nouncement Of the destroyer-bases
deal. Although most of the voters
conceded the value Of the bases, the
feeling was one of annoyance that
more public discussion had not been
allowed and Of suspicion that the
deal might involve even greater
American commitments.

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-, Sept. IA.
State political campaigns will get
under way in Missouri late this
month following adoption Of party
platforms in State conventions here
this week.
The Democrats will open formally
at Moberly September 81, with all
State candidates scheduled for APP
pearance. A straightaway indorse-
ment Of the New Deal and adoption
of the national platform were the
high points of their State platform.

third term and blasting at the Pen

He has made no comment on the
victory of Senator Truman nor taken
any part in political activity since.
He did not participate In the plat
form convention. .
Wendell l.. Willkie will spend to-
morrow In Kansas City. He has
promised. 1t Is said, tc make one or
two speeches in Miss RI during the
campaign, indicating . Republican
feeling that the States votes might

The Republicans are making
something of the returns of the july
primaries when. as they figure it.
there was a shift of 10000 votes
from the Democratic to the Repub-
hcan party, as compared to two
years ago. The total votes in the
two primaries are almost identical.
The Republican vote in 1888 totaled
about 10000, the Democratic about
$4,000. This year the Republican
vote was about $4,000 and the
Democratic about los, 900. The COM
fort the Republicans are able to
gain from this is somewhat cold, in
the opinion of Democrats, who
point to the still great preponder.

the poll, but bent every effort to
avoid duplication of voters. The
ballot represents largely the senti-
ments of rural, property-owning

capital city for the fair.

the political dopesters and nulled

The one issue on which all Willkie
supporters in Ohio apparently are
united, however, is that encom-
passed by a third term for President
Roosevelt. AS one commentator OBJ
served recently, there apparently
are two reasons why third term is
being so stubbornly opposed. The
one actuating the so-called intel
lectual and analytic group Is that
within q third term lies the latent
danger of dictatorship. The one
appealing to the more emotional is
that the President appears greedy
in wanting to continue Ia ONCE.

There is nothing tangible to indi-

State Republican Committeeman
Ed j. Schorr has lost none of his
confidence that this is a Republican
year in Ohio. The State Is sprinkled
literally with voluntary Willkie
clubs, whose members are active
and busy.
An early and informal poll taken
at Ohio's recent State Fair, in which
between 1900 and $1,000 votes were
cast, gave Mr.. Willkie IS per cent
Of the vote, which approximates the
