Republicans Hail

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Here are some comments in the
Capital on the acceptance address
today of the Republican presidential
nominee, Wendell Willkie:
Senator McNary of oregon. the
Republican vice presidential noml-
nee: It was a straightforward and
dynamic address. not too critical
but full of confidence in his ability
to revitalize America.
Senator Gillette. Democrat, of
Iowa: His comments on foreign pol
icy are remarkable in what they do
not say. He fails to draw an issue
there. The main difference be-
tween Mr.. Willkie and our party on
domestic issues is that he says he
believes in collective bargaining. the
wage-hour law and these other
things, and we have translated them
into legislation.
Senator Minton of Indiana, as
sistant Senate Democratic leader:
1t was the worst major political
speech I ever listened to.
Senator Hill of Alabama. who
nominated President Roosevelt at
Chicago: A few more speeches like
that, and he will have to have a
joint discussion to get crowd.
Representative Woodruff, Repub-
lican, of Michigan: I am quite in
agreement with what he has to say,
especially about the practice of the
President in constantly berating and
belaboring foreign nations and at
the same time doing nothing for our
national defense.
Chairman Bloom of the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs:
Throughout all of his speech he
criticized but did not hold out one
constructive method or way in which
he was going to accomplish these
objectives which he spoke about.
He straddled the way in which to
secure trained and competent man
power for national defense. 9th
erwise it was a grand Democratic
speech in which he practically in
dorsed the policies, especially the

of Indiana: I'm wondering how any
issues can be raised in this years
campaign since Mr.. Wilkes speech,
as analyze it, seems to indicate he
stands for about the same things as
President Roosevelt Where is fel-
low who wants change going to go?

the greatest in our generation. 1t
sounds the challenge to a crusade I
have long been waiting for. In this
day Of desperately complicated issues
it is impossible for frank men to

Here are some key sentences in
Wendell L. WILKES formal ad-
dress today accepting the Republi-
can presidential nomination:
I propose that during the next
two and a half months, the Presi-
dent and I appear together on
public platforms in various parts
of the country. TO debate the
fundamental issues of this cam
paign.
Mr. Roosevelt has dabbled
in infammatory statements and
manufactured panics. The
Presidents attacks on foreign
powers have been useless and
dangerous. He has courted a
war for which the country is
hopelessly unprepared - and
which it emphatically does not
want. He has secretly meddled
in the affairs of Europe and he
has even unscrupulously en-
couraged other countries to hope
for more help than we are able
to give.
As President. should threaten
foreign governments only when
our country was threatened by
them and when I was ready to
act.
cannot ask the American
people to put their faith in me
without recording my conviction
that some form of selective serv-
ice is the only democratic way
in which to secure the trained
and competent manpower we
need for national defense.
We must admit that the loss
of the British feet would greatly
weaken our defense The
Atlantic might be dominated by
Germany. a power hostile to our

calamity for us.

ATLANTA, Aug. 17.-Wendeu l..
WILKES Southern supporters al
ready are trying to shake into his
basket some of the 124 electoral
vote plums on the solid South tree.
Willkie clubs have been formed
in every of the IL traditionaHy
Democratic States, with the excep-
ton of Mississippi, where they still
are under discussion.
All indications point to the live
liest Republican campaign In the
South since 1923, when Herbert
Hoover cracked the phalanx for
more than half of its electoral
vote by capturing Virginia, North
Carolina, Florida, Tennessee and
Texas. Tennessee's swing to War
rem Harding in 1920 was the only
precedent for this upheaval since
reconstruction days, and the front
hasn't been pierced since the HOO
yer sortie.
Internal Situations Solid.
So far the Willkie activity does
not indicate any breakup of the
one-party system in the internal
affairs of these States. The Re
publicans are not using it as the
basis for greatly expanded efforts
to win State Offices, and in fact in
one State-Florida-a Republican
senatorial nominee withdrew in or
der to avoid the risk of muddying

Many of the Willkie clubs point
edly bar Republicans from men,

ing Willkie as real Democrat
choosing to discount his CONVEX
sion to the Republican political
faith in 1888 after years OF Demo-
cratic registration.
Rumblings of party discipline for
dissening Democrats have been
heard in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi and Georgia, but this move
ment has not crystalized as yet.
