ing nothing very definite for publ
cation at this time, are obviously
optimistic Of the usual party sue

Those who make it their business
to keep tab on the public's political
pulse share this optimism to a
great degree, although they r al

that the Roosevelt majority will
be as overwhelming as it was four
not be as overwhelming as it was
four years ago.
In 1896 the President ran IS, 900

ahead of the President, though you

William H. alfalfa Bill Murray,
former democratic governor and

make about one speech a day. for
Wendell Willkie from Sept. 1 until

He was criticized by some demo.

Murray asserted President Roose-

COP Nominee Wants To
Argue Issues With Oppo-

Wendell L. Willkie was completing
arrangements today to open a ma

Roosevelt would like to meet me
beforehand" in joint debates.
The Republican presidential nom
inee challenged the chief executive
Saturday to argue foreign and do
mestic issues "face to face" but
he told reporters yesterday he had
mot heard a word from Washing
ton" in reply.
II am waiting patiently, Will
kie said as he sat in the cream
colored home of his mother-in-law,
Mrs. Cora Wiki. II will be glad to
accommodate myself to any dates
the president wants to fix"
The candidate determined final
ly on the Coffeyville engagement
at a Sunday luncheon conference
with Republican Chairman Joseph
w. Martin of Massachusetts.
The latter came here after Will
kie accepted the presidential NOM
nation at Elwood Saturday in a
speech calling for "some form OF
selective SERVICE" and charging
that Mr.. Roosevelt "courted a war
for which the country is hopelessly
unprepared."
Willkie and Martin outlined a ten
tative itinerary for the former
address because Willkie taught the
high school history there in 1873
IA.
He is asking Walter johnson, one
time Coffeyville resident who gain
ed renown as the big Train of
baseball, to introduce him. John
son is running for Congress in
Maryland on the Republican tic
ket.
Willkie, his wife and son, Philip,
will stay here through Wednesday,
and then may go to Maine or Min
nesota, after making a brief stop
in New York. The Maine election
is September 9, but Willkie said he
would make only short, informal
talks if he visited the state this
month.
From Coffeyville, he likely will

Los Angeles up to Seattle, and then
back into the midwest and the
East for the latter portion of he
campaign. He sill is considering
speeches in he South, he said,
adding that he would go into Texas

they r going now"
Willkie and Martin looked over

nominee said %applauded his Elwood

ably about a million in all, while
claiming to be loyal to Warsaw
were preparing to stab Poland IN
the back. Directed by the German
Gestapo, organized into political
groups the Deutsche Vereiningung
and the young German party, the
minority leaders found means OF
terrorizing or otherwise inducing
practically all the Germans to be-
come spies and agents. AS indus
trialists, commercial travellers,
walters, BARRIERS, taxi drivers, they
wormed their way into Polish life.
Some 10000 were actually trained
in special camps in Germany to
be forerunners, agents and guides
to the invading army columns. The
Germans were more quickly in
formed of the Polish, military
movements than the Polish COM
manders.
On the ever of the war these
specially coached Germans, act
ing under direct orders from Ber-
lin, picked quarrels with Poles in
order to create frontier and other
Incidents" Other Germans dis
guised as Polish soldiers spread
panic through the villages. Ger
mans speaking Polish issued false
intructions and orders to the peo-
pie by wireless. Still others re-
manned deep behind the lines and
from there signalled detectives

men.
Germans have admitted that two
weeks longer resistance by the
Polish armies would have exhaust
