OTHERS VIEWS
TAR HEELS TALK WILLKIE

To the Editor:
ii ali liIe Democrats who are nov
openly expressing tnclr llrm lnten-
ton OF supporting MI. WIllklc IN the
november election follow through,
North Carolina is not only 4 DOUBT
jlul state at present time but is liable
TO 90 Republican on election day.
! Never before has this scribe heard
50 many people who have been life
! long Democrats give utterancc SO
boldly and catcgOrically TO their lin
| ed determination to support Re
publican. presidential candidate as
they are doing all over the State. This
sentiment is not confined to any
class or condition Of men and women.
Some object to 4 third term, others
claim that President Roosevelt has
often boosted Of his former support
of Republican candidates and has APP
! pointed Republicans to most Of the
best jobs and they see no reason
iwhy they should continue to support
Il man who after he gets elected by
his party turns right around and
gives the best appointments TO mem
bcrS Of the opposition party. Others
say his inSiStancc on IN" nomination
of Secretary Henry Wallace us his
running mate cannot be Justified by
any amount of SophiStry. The farm
ers have no love for Wallace and
thew do not believe his nomination
will strengthen the Democratic tick
ct. His lire-long Republican affilia-
ton has lett It's mark on him and
/ his very recent apOStacy from Re
publican association in order 10 en-
10Y the Democratic emolumCnts for
season does violence to their sense
Of fairness.
President Roosevelt will in all
probability be reelected but ii will
not be on account of any wise poll
teal decisions he has made in the last
six months. If he had set out de-
liberatcly TO commit political suicide
he could not have succeeded more
completely than he has done. He
has either failed to gauge successful
~ the trend OF public sentiment or
else he has been following the adj
vice Of people who arc very wise in
their own conceit'. Moreover, if
President Roosevelt should happen to
lose North Carolina our State ticket
would be in jeopardy. About the only
consolation we loyal Democrats will
get out Of the coming election, will
be in seeing the old moss back Re-
publcans being forced to vote for
a man who calls himself Democrat.
The tradition of both national par
ties are now as dead as the dodo and
can never again be revived. The
Democratic party has been so badly
scrambled that it will be impossible
ever again to unScramblc it. The Re-
publcanS are now in the power of
I man who has only recently cSpOuS-
cd their cause and they have no idea
what he will do to them.

No Time to Relax

Prominence given in some por-
tons of the daily press to London
dispatches sharply diScornting the
likelihood OF Hitler blitZkreig aft
er all. is a bit surprising. The ref
erence is not TO the handling OF the
news itself. but the attitude il would
indicate is being assumed IN Britain.
Until there Is more impressive evil
dence than now exists that Germany
has abandoned plans for mass attacks
on the island fortress. il would be
the height OF folly for the English
people to relax their vigilance. their
preparation or their determination.
Perhaps they have not. but pc
ruSal OF recent stories from London
point in that direction.
There is possibility, as has been
suggested, that the present ceaseless
bombardment by Nazi planes may be
the beginning of the long-heralded
total war maybe the only type
OF battle contemplated for some
time Absence of other offensive
tactics, however, may be but a part
of Hitler strategy to lull the islands
into a false sense Of safety-if such
were conceivable. with death rain
ing from the skies.
Opinion in mane quarter, leans
to the theory that what Hitler does
in the next few weeks will be al
that he can do, on large scale, this
year, because weather conditions will
shortly become so unfavOr:r' - as tC
preclude effective attack. : ..'-.a
