"A comeback campaign for former

by the International LongShore-

In letter to party leaders, the
association declared that the 10

we ask that he be aided in his fight
by the nomination Of a lieutenant

Roosevelt VS.. Willkie
Fortune Magazine Shows President Holding Ma
jorities Only in Solid South-G. o. P. Nominee
Registers Impressive Popularity Among Voters.

New York, July 26-As political
Roosevelt holds majorities only in
the south while Mr.. Willkie is a
strong favorite in the other sections
having a combined preponderance
of electoral votes, the Fortune Sur
vey of Public Opinion reveals today
This latest Survey was conducted
during the period between the close
of the Republican convention and
the converting of the Democrats in
Chicago. The results, published in
the August issue Of Fortune maya
zine, also disclose that:
1.-The nomination Of Willkie
was followed by sharp swing Of
voters away from Roosevelt.
2.-Killkie is favored over Ro0s-
evelt everywhere, except in rural
communities.
3.-Roosevelt is by far the
strongest candidate the Democrats
could have named to run against
Willkie.
"a comparison of present returns
with those in last months survey
establishes that probably no Repub-
lican other than Willkie would have
had a chance of beating Roosevelt"
Fortune declares. Likewise, probab-
ly no Democrat other than Roose-
welt would have had q chance of
beating Willkie.
"At present 1t Is impossible to say
which of the two men will deliver
the inaugural address next January,
but the facts are these:
up to the time that Willkie was
actually nominated there seemed to
be no effective Republican prospect
to oppose O third term. To be sure,

INDUSTRY MUCH
BETTER in CONN.

Hartford, Conn.,, July 26-(UP)-
Industrial conditions improved, on
the whole, during June but the state
"has not yet felt the increased &C
tivity expected as result of the re-
armament program" it was reported
today by Labor Commissioner Cor
neliuS j. Danaher.
Industrial employment still is in
creasing," he said, land the ex-
pectancy is that it will continue to
do so. There is some upturn in in
dustries that bear no relation to
the national defense program, but
how long this activity will last, how
ever, is not known.
In II of the states 10 industrial
areas, conditions were reported "im-
proved" or good" In five others
there was mo change" and In the
remaining two conditions were said
to be "slow."
Particularly active were the avia-
ton, brass, small tools and metal
trades.
The Electric Boat company at
Groton was expected to double its
capacity as result of a $36,000,000
government order for submarines.

Graduated from Annapolis in 1915
he later took the field officers
course at Quantico, graduated from
the army's Chemical Warfare School

school at Leavenworth and the SEN
Tor Naval War College at Newport.
He was on the teaching staff at
Quantico for while.
Prematurely gray, slender, the
colonel stands something under six
feet, is amiable but reserved. He is
definitely not the dashing military
type, but on expeditionary duty in
Haiti, Cuba, Nicaragua and with the
A. E. F. in France, he. distinguished
himself under fire.
He was decorated twice in Mic
aragua, received the Victory medal
for his part in the battles OF st.

the Marine Corps Experitionary
medal for his service in Haiti and
Cuba, and wears the medal of the

Colonel Peck likes to dance, but
is not fond of society" He'd
much rather spend an afternoon
in his garden than at the club.
When not gardening in his spare
time he reads mostly book on
army and navy tactics.
He is fond of dogs and has a
pet Spitz. To complete the strong,
silent man picture, he smokes a
pipe.
