Politicians in both partiea are
grumbling no end about the opera
tons OF the Hatch act In limiting
campaign expenditures. Tie Re
publicans, naturally, are doing the
more grumbling, because, while the
Democratic workers who Want TO
get their hands on some money are
just as greedy, the big shots in the
party organization know that they
have tremendous advantage.
Their workers are paid out of the
federal treasury and are even more
Jealous than workers just earning a
temporary wage, since the success
OF the campaign will determine
whether the Democrats stay on the
federal pay roll or not.
One Of the restrictions against
which the Republicans are most bit
ter Is that every cent spent since
January l counts against the s., OO0,-
600 limitation. II so happens that In
the first few months of This year the
Republicans paid of something like
$3oO,OOO OF debt. Now obviously
there was no intention on the part Of
congress to count anything of the
sort, but when the law Ia perfectly
clear In it's wording II makes no
difference what congress Intended.
There are lots of Supreme court de-
cisions showing that, including par
ticularly the Mann white slave act
which did NOT do what congress in
tended, but which for various rea-
son has never been amended.
This is really academic. however
in view Of WILKES own decision
that the campaign should not cost
more than $2,60O, 900.
All Of which brings UP the oues-
ton II Is worth while for q poIit-
ical party TO spend as much as has
been spent IN the last half dozen
presidential battles. The difficulty is
that it is hard for persons Of college
educations and cultured associa-
tons, for instance, TO appreciate
some of the things that politicians
generally regard as absolutely e.
sential.
But Willkie, like most INTELLIGENT
observers, believes that a biz f1oc-
ton OF the money spent for cano-
paigns Is wasted. Whether aoros -
the cuts viii actually be harmful M
one may ever know.

Illinois Is one of the great German

The same Is true to an even greater
extent Of the neighboring state of

Berlin radios warned that London
could choose between the fate of pull

Germans hope was to force king

said there would be no evacuation
Of the capital. They warned citi-

at invasion might come within a
few hours" and that only Hitler
knew when the signal would be
given.
In Nazi Territory
The Germans faced handicaps,
however. While their flying was not
stopped by heavy fogs, gales in the
channel made shipping perilous.
And British fiiers were not forced
out of the air. They plowed the
fields of Nazi airmen at Schiphol
and Ypenburg in The Netherlands,
around Calais, Dunkerque, Able
vilfe and Antwerp. They dropped
calling cards in congested Berlin,
weeded out gun emplacements along
the channel near Boulogne, sunk
barges on the coast, wrecked oil

fighting against superior odds.

WiHkie Advised
To Stress Peace

To Stress Peace
While "vacationing" at Colorado
Springs, after the Republican con-
vention and before his acceptance
speech, Willkie was approached by
any number of men and women who
appreciated this racial group situa-
ton keenly They were sure that
Willkie could carry every state in
the Central West by merely keeping
quiet on every question which
seemed to lead toward war. They
wanted him to refuse to say any
thing more than that he wanted to
keep this country out of war. They
we're shocked at the laid TO Britain"
portions OF his acceptance speech.
They were Mortified when he sane
toned the exchange OF the destroy
ers.
Now they are asking: What is
the difference between Roosevelt
and Willkie?"
Curiously enough, the administra-
ton seems TO have joined these I'M
successful advisers Of Willkie in try
ing to drive him into the other camp.
When Henry A. Wallace toured hi
nois, the main theme Of all his talks
was thumbing his nose at Adolf Hit
Ter.
That was NOT good medicine, DO
litically, for a state with such q
heavy German population. But, ap-
parently, the New Dealers are count
ing on WILKES utterances on con-
scription, on the destroyers, and on
aid TO Britain TO Offset anything
Wallace said, and to permit them
TO do little PROSECUTING on the other
side of the street.
1t is certainly not happy thought,
but there is no blinking the fact that
Adolf Hitler has lot Of admirers
in our Central West.
German Votes Important
In Middle West States
The tremendous importance OF tho
German and pacifst votes in this
Middle-West country is not underes-
timated in the slightest degree by
Wendell L. Willkie. He chose his
course-to support aid to Britain, to
support the exchange of the destroy
ers, and to support conscription-in
full knowledge of the political poten-
tialities.
The fact is that he remarked TO
friends BEFORE his acceptance
speech that he believed he could be
elected easily II he were willing TO
sacrifice his convictions on the in
ternational issue.

29-Year-Old MARRIAGE
Annuued In Chicago

CHICAGO, March 81. - Up - A
marriage of 20 years was annulled
today by the superior court because
the husband and wife are first
cousins.
The annulment was asked by Ar

merchant, who married Jane Spen-
Ger, Y, in 1911. Marriages of first
cousins r illegal in Illinois.
Spencer testified his father, Louis
Schapiro, was the brother Of his
wife's father, Sholem Schapiro.
Scha piro originally was the family
name. Mrs. Spencer denied she was
her husbands cousin and asked tenn

A will drawn by Mrs. Spencer in
1895 and introduced at the trial left
