kie duel ought to be a spectacle
such as American politics has not
seen for generations.
But there is one big difference
between the kind of campaign Will
kie has made to date and the kind
FDR made when he first went after
the presidency; and If WILKES pre-
convention campaign Is any indica-
ton of the kind of fight he will
make this summer and fall, the COM
ing scrap will be even more unusual.
FARLEY MAPPED
CAMPAIGN CAREFULLY
This contrast Is worth studying in
some detail; for the Willkie method
of campaigning Is something new in
politics, and to date 1t has been
enormously effective.
First, consider the kind Of cam
paign Jim Farley put on for FDR
IN the early stages of the 1882 pre-
convention struggle.
Farley spent many months laying
his lines. He not only saw all Of the
big party leaders, but practically all
Of the little ones as well. He got
in touch with county chairmen and
district leaders, by letter and by tel
ephone and In person, and sowed the
good seed for his candidate; as a
result, when the Democratic conven-
ton convened he not only had an
excellent set Of pledged delegates,
but an even larger number of dele
gates who knew about his candidate
were favorably disposed to him, and
would break to him If occasion Of
| fered.
In other words, Farley played the
game in the traditional way, played
1t with rare experiences, and came up
winner. He went out and got the
delegates votes, knew at all stages
just where he stood, and had to do
only a minimum of horse trading to
get results when the balloting start
ed.
WILLKIE SYSTEM
FOOLED TIMERS
The Willkie campaign left all of
that out.
Instead of appealing to the lead
ers and the delegates, the Willkie
people appealed direct to the voters
and appealed with thorough eff
fectiveness never seen before. Thy
went at 1t in much the way smart
business man with a new product to
sell the public would 60 at 1t; they
had a good product, they saw that
everybody learned about 1t, and they
let the public's demand do the rest.
AS result, practically all the old
timers In the party were fooled.
When the convention opened they
counted noses and saw that Willkie
Just didn't have the votes. AS far
as they were concerned, that settled
It, AS late as four hours before the
actual nomination. some of the cagi-
est of them were asserting that
"Willkie is stopped"
But this new technique made all
the old rules fail: and the absorb
ing question among politicians right
now Is. how far can this technique
be applied in the main campaign It.
self-and what will the Willkie peo-
pie do with it?

CHILDREN's PENNIES
(Boston POST

The great response Of the nations
school children in parting with their
pennies so they might be used to aid
children in war-stricken countries
shows that the children are as char
liable as their elders.
The organization known as the
Children,s Crusade for Children, q
nationwide movement, has an
nounced that 1880, 600 pennies have
been received from the American
children. Eventually, the sum con-
tributed by the children is expected
to reach $4,000. The money will
serve a splendid purpose. but 1t
should be said that for many Of the
children who contributed their PEN
MES 1t entailed q real sacrifice.

German Lutherans

OMAHA, Oct. 11.-Discriminations
against the IS German Lutheran
congregations in Canada since the
outbreak of the European war were
recounted today at the 18th bien-
NAL convention of the United Lu-
theran Church.
The church's Board of American
Missions declared that although
most of the congregation members
in Ontario are native Canadians
and in the West are from such nom
German countries as Russia and
Poland, "the public mind does not
make easy distinctions.
I'm Ontario German preaching
has been completely banished, in

board asserted. In Windsor the

lions are under financial obligation
to secular institutions. In two cases

foreclosures; in third case only

vented similar procedure"
In many cases, the board said,
congregations have suffered because
their members lost employment.

the board added:
1T is only natural that people
should feel for the land of their
birth and that they cannot remain
Indifferent to what is happening to
their friends and relatives in the
homeland. Nobody will blame them
ovsrmuch as long as they remain
loyal to their new citizenship and
to Christian fellowship"
Declaring the philosophy "if you
want peace, prepare for war" is
prevalent in this country, the board
countered with there is only one
preparation for war that will bring
perpetual peace. That is the spirit
ual warfare against all the evil
forces that resist the will of God, the
war against prejudices, hatred
selfishness and greed, and against
all the other forces of darkness

Gets 3-Year Budget
Of $4,000
Church Of EneIond's
Head Asks Help for
Missionary Work

BY the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, Oct. ia three
year budget of $2212,00O-lO per
cent higher than that of the past
triennial-was proposed today at a
Joint session of the Houses of

testant Episcopal Church conven-
ton.
Chief increase would be Silt, 900
to finance missionary work, particu-
larry in India, now sponsored by the
war weakened mother church of
England.
Other increases were asked for
domestic church work, especially
youth activities.
Episcopal women, in their tradi-
tional holy communion service, con-
trituted s974.O6970 as a thank offer
ing. Tie fund was 100000 larger
than at the 1887 convention. The
money will be devoted to construc-
ton of schools and hospitals and to
foreign and domestic missions.
The proposal to aid British mis-
sions was in response to plea from
the Right Rev Cosmo Gordon Lang,
Archbishop of Canterbury, and
recommendations by Presiding
Bishop Henry St. George Tucker of
Richmond. Va, head of the Ameri-
can church.
Cable From Archbishop.
Delegates said the $4,000 would
be swelled considerably by contribu-
tons by dioceses throughout the
Nation.
Squirting already strong sentiment
to help the Church of England was
this cabled message from Arch
bishop Lang:

Debate on Divorce.
Further debate on divorce and re-
marriage, for Is years a contro-
versial subject in discussion of
church law, was expected today in
the House of Bishops.
Presenting a proposed canon to
liberalize the law to permit all di-
vorced persons to remarry with
church blessing, Bi~hop Herman
Page of Ann Arbor, Mich, pleaded
yesterday for mercy and forgiveness
by the church toward those having
marital difficulties.
What has led to the proposal of
this new canon" he said, has been
the steadily mounting rate of divorce.
The Anglican church has the most
merciless canon in the world on
marriage and divorce. 1t bears un-
justly on many men and women"
After brief discussion. the proposal
was referred back to its sponsoring
commission. Enactment requires a
two-t thirds vote in both convention
legislative bodies.
The House of Deputies agreed to
consider Saturday the question of
joining the Federal Council of
Churches of Christ in America.
