Greet Newspaper. Democratic For
100 Years, Now Comes Out For WilIkie
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
(Reprintcd by ReQuest)

inviolable precedent by the wisdom
of succeeding presidents 1t is al
most as much part of our funda-
mental law as the Constitution itself.
The situation Jefferson warned
/ his countrymen against IN 1871 has
now come to pass. An ambitious
executive, finishing his second term
and wishing another, conJures up
the old world theory that he alone
in all America is capable of leader
ship. Mr. Roosevelt paints the por-
trait of The indispensable Man and,
10, the likeness is of himself!
These are perilous days in world
history for any democracy to ex-
pertinent with indispensable men.
, The German republic tried it. Italy
tried it. Russia tried it. The path
way of government since the World
war is strewn with the twisted
remnants of democratic institutions
wrecked by indispensable men.
Every modern dictator the world
has known first persuaded his coun-
trymen that he was indispensable
, to their welfare.
America can not afford to take
the risk. No man in this still free
republic is so wise, SO strong, so
exalted in character or SO finely
tempered by experience that the
safety to the nation requires his
retention in the presidency. Amer
lea is not ripe for the advent of
the indispensable man.
These facts are set down calmly
by newspaper appreciative of the
fine qualities of human sympathy
and social justice which inspired
the earlier days of Mr.. Roosevelt's
performance. These achievements
are part of the permanent record of
the era. They will be remembered,
outlined against the dark back
ground of economic fumbling and
industrial failure.
Much Of his achievement will sur
vive, regardless OF the result of the
November election. The country is
committed to its perpetuation. OPP
position to Mr.. Roosevelt for third
term implies no reputation of this
part of his record.
Opposing the President who seeks
to violate the unWritten statute
against third term is Wendell l..
Willkie, nominee of the Republican
convention at Philadelphia. I'm
known to national politics as recent
1y as three months ago, this lawyer
and business man from Indiana has
become since mid-June the hope
of millions whose votes, in the good
American way, make our presidents.
Willkie was the surprise nominee
OF an Embossed convention. He had
received no primary support and
had asked for none. His nomination
came as the answer to a specific,
il unspoken, demand for a man
particularly trained to meet the
problems which will face the ad-
ministration at Washington in the
next four years.

These are problems OF business,
of organization, of Harvesting the
vast forces of the nation to meet
the conditions of a world at war,
perhaps to fight a war. These
problems are too serious for end
less economic experimentation; too
vital to the national safety to be
handled by brain trust with left
ist tendencies, or candidate un-
appreciative of cost control.
The career Of Willkie is typically
American. From the beginning his
success has been self-achieved. Born
in small town, educated in q state
university, he began his profession
al career in small city. From the
beginnings, travelling the road COM
mon to average Americans, he has
grown into the stature of successful
leadership.
To a greater degree, perhaps, than
ever before, the welfare of the
country in the years at hand will
depend on industry intelligently di-
rected. Willkie is trained by hard
knocks for his task. He has the
confidence of industrial leaders. He
possesses a record of fair dealing
with labor.
With such a leader America can
rise to the first need of the times,
which is to arm itself.
But Mr.. Roosevelt can not per-
suade labor to efficient production
He and his advisers spent too many
years helping 1t get more money
for less work.
Mr.. Roosevelt can not expect bus
mess to cooperate with him, ex-
cept under compulsiOn, because his
studied effort has been to harry
business.
Only on rare occasions in Amer
can political history have condi-
tons conspired to bring to the front
man particularly qualified to di-
rect affairs in the crisis. Washing
ton was, of course, supreme ex-
ample. Lincoln was one. Jackson
was another.
Without suggesting similarities
between men, it will seem to many
that Willkie belongs in the galaxy
Of Americans mysteriously prepared
for command in this critical period
of the republic.
BY the logic of our two-party sys-
tenn the choice for President lies be-
tween Wendell l.. Willkie and
Franklin d. Roosevelt.
Even had the President achieved
a flawless record Of administration,
which we have denied, the time is
now at hand when he should retire.
He can not in sincerity say that
Willkie is any less qualified than
himself to direct the government in
the next four years.
That Mr.. Roosevelt refuses to
make this concession is a partial
index of his character. It harmon
ICES with many executive acts since
March, 1888. II is the trade mark
Of one who has come to consider
himself the indispensable man.
The Plain Dealer makes its choice
without hesitation or qualification
We solemnly urge the people to
elect Wendell l.. WilIlie President
OF the United States.

SAYS BOMBINGS MAY BE BLESSING

Frank Lloyd Wright, considered by
many the father of modern architecture,
thinks that an optimist could almost find
a blessing in the aerial destruction of
European cities because it will give the
architects chance to start all over again
in the planning of the communities.
Mr. Wright asserts that the SKY
scraper fad'' is dying out because people
realize that tall buildings make for con-
gestion and profit only the real estate op-
orators. He believes that they are prac-
tical V4iy for planned countryside COM
mum les, where they will have great
acreage around them. He thinks e trend
OF population is to the countr and that
cur great cities are gradually dying.
The architect thinks that the trend
toward pre-fabricated houses might be
practical if the machine can go to the home
rather than have the home come to the
machine. He does ct desire to see homes
standardized and laments the profound
cultural lag in the United States which,
according to Frenchman, is the only
country that has jumped from barbarism
to degeneracy with no civilization in be-
tween.
