the tradition against a third term.
Faint bright spot for Willkie
forces in early returns was the
report from Florida, where the re-
publican nominee ran less than two
to one behind through the tabula-
ton of several thousands votes only
to drop further back as the total
count rose.
Tennessee, where Roosevelt's 1886
margin Of 2 to l was smallest OF
anywhere in the South, also was
watched hopefully but from the
first reports this home of the Ten
nessee Valley Authority gave no
encouragement to the republican
nominee who fought the T. V. A.

majorities from the first count.

Editor Lists Five Reasons
Favoring WiIIkie Victory

b. the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. Oct. 4-Roy A. Roberts,
managing editor of the Kansas City
Star, told the annual convention Of
the Mortgage Bankers Association
of America yesterday that whether
President Roosevelt or Wendell L.
Willkie won the November election
Americans would rally to him be-
cause that is the American demo-
cratic system"
Whether it is Mr.. Roosevelt or
Mr.. Willkie," Mr. Roberts said. "the
next President will face the most
difficult problems any Chief Execu-
tive has confronted, not in our times,
but in all time"
Analyzing the presidential cam
paign, Mr.. Roberts said the factors
he believed favored Mr.. WILKES
candidacy were:
The third term issue; wide
spread fear of the Roosevelt spend
ing policies; the ever-present fear of
hundreds of thousands of mothers
that Mr.. Roosevelt will commit this
Nation to war; the fact that Mr..
Willkie is a businessman who came
up from the people and is better
equipped to handle the problems of
defense and the postwar period
than Mr.. Roosevelt, and the fact,
that except for emotions born of
war. the American people always tire
Of their idols whether they be presi-
dental, political, movie or athletic"

grinned, I'll act like I'm on the in
side. You know, I'll give them that
old I'm afraid I can't tell you what's
really going on, old boy sort of
thing"
AS for his talk with President
Roosevelt, he expects to discuss
ships and shoes and sealing wax
and William Allen White and the
World Series"

at himself-and did frequently when
ne was interviewed last night. But

Dewey in Lead as
Republicans Move
Into Home Stretch

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 10
tUP)-District Attorney Thomas E
Dewey'S campaign for the Repub-
lican presidential nomination is off
to a good start today in a wide
open race notable at the moment
for indications of Stop-Willkie
movement.
The spectacular last minute cam
paign of Wendell l.. Willkie, COM
monwealth and Southern Utilitie:
executive, has alarmed some of tbs
party's veteran leaders and there
is a tendency among them toward
some kind of agreement to permit
an early ballot nomination in the
party's national convention con-
vention converting Monday.
Nomination of a dark horse can
didate such as Willkie, Governor
John w. Bricker. of Ohio, or for
mer President Herbert C. Hoover
appears now to be possible only if
the convention encounters series
of deadlock ballots.
Dewey, Senator Robert A. Taft,
and Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg,
were out in front in early pre-con-
vention campaigning. Taft and
Dewey have come into the stretch
still contesting for the delegate
lead with Willkie making final
fortnight squirt that placed him
second in popular appeal as measur-
ed by the Gallup poll.
Dewey took the first pre-conven-
ton week trick yesterday when
Herbert K. Hyde, resolutions COM
mittee member from Oklahoma, aid
a strong Dewey partisan, was elect
ed temporary platform committee
chairman by reclamation. Hyde
was boosted into the Craftsmanship
by former Governor ALT M. Lam
don, Kansas, the candidate in 1885.
Landon's support of Hyde does
not commit him nor the Kansas
delegation to support Dewey, but
it was counted good break for the
district attorney and an indication
of Landon's half-formed sympa-
thies. The prime purpose in selec
ton Hyde was to avoid the appear
ance of old guard, eastern domina-
ton of the party which might have
followed the election of George
Wharton Pepper, Pennsylvania lead
er, who had been widely touted for
the job. But it would have beer
equally feasible to find a mid
western chairman without Dewey
commitments.
