WILKES Western Drive,

Wendell WILKES obvious effort to
clothe himself with the strongest
possible Western background is man
ifested afreSh by the decision to
make his forthcoming first swing
around the circle of 13 States which
include the country's chief agricul-
tural areas. To triumph in Novem-
Der, the c. o. P. is conscious it
must recapture the farm belt. That
was the psychology of the McNary
vice presidential nomination. Re-
publicans realize, too, that their
fight to win the rural West is an
uphill one because of Henry Wal
lace's presence on the Democratic
ticket. 1t may well be that as the
farm States go. so goes the Nation,
though the concensus persists that
the man who carries New York land
Illinois, will be the next President.
His supporters are counting heavily
on Mr.. WILKES sledge- hammer
campaigning capacity, especially
when he begins to thrust at the
third term That gives promise OF
becoming his paramount stumping
point.

King George may fight. Such
matters have ordinarily been left
to his dictator, Gen. John Me-

with his generals and ministers, and
the word is that he is Tor making a
stand against Italian aggression.
The King is an unimpressive,
baldiSh man Of slight stature and
ingratiating manners, a teetotaler
who drinks nothing stronger than
tonic water or ginger beer, but, like
many men of such specifications,
he is an eager fight fan and occa-
sionaly trumpets a startling war
note. Debating with Prof. Salvador
Madariaga of Spain. before the Ok
ford Union in 1923, he said:
"Instinctively I disrust the pro-
fessor and the pedant. Give me a
burly man of bone and gristle. The
world is too full of bookworrns and
blue stockings, long-haired men and
short-haired women"

Premier Mussolini would seem to fill

1t is possible that the King finds
things more to his liking than when
he was living quietly at the COM

London, during the years of his
exile.
In those days he was always fall

father was assassinated at Salonika
in 1913, and his father, Constantine,
was twice deposed and died in exile.
His brother was killed by the bite

King OF the strong men for Is
months before his exile. Like Gen.
Metaxas. he was indoctrinated with
the fighting spirit at a Prussian
military academy.

mining, iron, steel and paper pro-

that the company's output in prac-

larger than in the preceding year,
Sales totaled Sl7,478, 100, an all-time

when hydro-electricp power ran short

Glenn Frank in Senate Race.
From Wisconsin comes word that
DR.. Glenn Frank, spiritual father OF
that now almost forgotten document
known as the Republican national
platform, is making a lively primary
campaign for the Republican sena-
torial nomination next month. 1t
is his first attempt at public office.
DR.. Franks nomination would assure
a red-hot race, because of his feud
with the La Follettes over the State
University presidency. He would. of
course, be opposed by Young Bob"
in November.
Though Progressive party fortunes
in Wisconsin have latterly not been
in the ascendant, Senator La Fol-
lette personally remains tremen-
dously popular and is still cham
pion vote-getter. Outcome of a La
Follette-Frank contest would depend
on the extent to which a Democratic
candidacy cut into the Progressive
and Republican votes.

The HYnhenated Vote.

One subject giving both party
Arrangements a headache is how
the various so-called hyphenated
votes" are likely to be cast this
year. Almost every one of them
seems to be influenced by the Eu-
ropean war. In key cities like New
York, Philadelphia. Chicago, De-
troit, Cleveland, st. Louis and Pitts
burgh, the German American, Italo-
American. Irish-American and Po-
American votes" are not only
heavy, but can be decisive.
Most authorities expect that citi-
zens of German and Italian ex-
traction may largely incline to desert
the Roosevelt cause because of the
Presidents anti-axis sentiments.
The whole matter of the hyphenated
vote has become one Of the big
question marks puzzling the Demo-
cratic and Republican high COM
mands alike to an unusual degree.
Italo-Americans and Irish Ameri-
cans comprise a sufficiently large
bloc to sway New York Citys pivotal
