The Why Of WilIkie.
Politicians of all stripes, observ-
ing Philadelphia from the Olynpian
heights Of Washington, have a sim
pie explanation for the meteoric
Willkie boom. They contend its
handspring is the rising tide of
popular resentment of men and
methods associated with old-time
politics. Some of these detached
observers even suggest connection
between European war develop
ments and WILKES spectacular
flash across the Republican heav-
ems. Their reasoning is that Just
as Frenchmen now realize what was
brought upon them by their Lavals,
Daladiers, Flandins, Blums and
Bonnets and as Britons compre-
hend the extent to which their
Chamberlains, Simons, Runcimans
and Hoares impaired John Bulls
capacity to meet national crisis,
the American people are filled with
anxiety lest our own professional
politicians-Republican and Demo-
cratic alike-plunge the U. S. A.
into similar plight.
Wilkes star is clearly in the
ascendant because he typifies
complete break with traditional po-
litical persons and ways-"ahead of
a trend" as he himself puts it. If
miraculously nominated his victory
will reflect a Republican conviction
that the times clamor for a brand
new kind of national leadership.

by Grant, Mckinley, Harding or

commonest Washington criticism.
An impression existed here that the
