Well, Republican Willkie GER
tainly made a mighty fine Dem
ocratic" speech. National poll
tics is gettin' so backlas.led and
scrambled that 1t is hard to dis
tinguish one party from another.
In any event it is evident that
Mr.. Roosevelt has an opponent
worthy of his steel and while
Willkie has a rough and rugged
road to travel. it isn't going to be
a bit worse than the one MIR.
Roosevelt faces.
It seems that Wendell meant
just what he said when he wise
cracked awhile back about want
in to meet the ''Champ"-he
might possibly be given such an
opportunity if it could be arrang-
ed in the form of a radio debate.
but l doubt if the President
would accept the invitation to
meet him on the stump.
However, the President has
done just about everything pos
sible to make it an even match.
In picking Wallace as a running
mate he certainly handed the In
diana boy a swell break.
One thing 1 liked particularly
about Mr.. WILKES address was
the fact that he didn't, try to or
ate. He just stood up on his
hind legs and popped off in a
Observation-Disclosures fash
ion He didn't pussyfoot or hem
and haw-he came right out with
IL.
He evidenced genuine cour-
age and showed good common
sense in frankly admitting his
relationship with big business
and in freely and openly discuss
ing his German ancestry. He was
smart enough to know that these
facts would be thrown in his
face from the start of the cam
paign until its close, and by beat
ing the other fellow to the punch
he went a long way toward off
setting such propaganda
AS near as | could interpret
his talk, it seems Willkie ap-
proves of a good portion of the
New Deal program He and the
President see eye TO eye on the
matter of CONSUMPTION and lend
ing aid to England. While he
doesn't seem to have much fault
to find with the general aims and
efforts of the New Deal. he don't
ike the wav they go about &C
cOmplishing EN-. In short, Will
kie contends that he can reach
the same detectives and at the
same time effect real economy in
government and eliminate much
of the red-tape and burdensome
bureaucracy: he would endeavor
to step I'D industrial activity
substituting PDO for WPA and al
the same time effect economies
that would spell COD instead OF
lou.
Another point he brought out
was that hurting verbal insults
at the dictators IS mighty poor
policy when we are not in po-
sition TO back up our remarks
He also contends that the admin
istration has not been frank with
the people in acquainting them
with the true situation, and
pledges himself to a policy of ab-
solute frankness in this regard
One thing certain. Wilkes
talk was decidedly UN-Republi-
