~ The Empire. That column deals almost entirely with the Wendell Willkie campaign organization, a subject in which The Empire is not much interested
 This paper has always supported Democratic candidates for office because it believes in Demo- cratic principles. This year it is again supporting the entire Democratic ticket because it believes the candidacy of MT Wilkie constitutes a particularly subtle and dangerous threat to the new freedom lnd security of the private citizen in America
 There is additional, and very important, req for the nation to continue the Roosevelt admin istration in office. The administration has taken a firm stand international affairs has indeed been months ahead of American public opinion in dealing with the serious problems which the cumbling of democracy Europe has posed for the United States The Roosevelt administration has been right on very question dealing with the war, 99 percent f the nation admits. Even the Republicans ant find anything to criticize in this record
 The Empire believes now, it is certain the great majority of the people of the nation will be- lieve by November, that any change in the national administration in 1940 would be tragedy for the United States and for the survival in the world of the principles which this and all free nations are founded.

Swing Slows Down
Cincinnati Enuuirer)

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 The 57th convention of the Dancing Masters oi America Pittsburgh the other day gave it's offcia opinion that jitterbugging being replaced by adap tations of waltzes folk dances, and tangoes The graceful and ropantic dancing styles of the past tury declared the dancing masters replacing the furious "jitterbug" steps.
 We'd been awaiting official opinion the sub ject before trusting unlearned eyes. But obviously, there has been letdoWn. The young man with the sweater, the baggy trousers and the expression of deirous absorption is still to be every now and then tossing his girl up or out-but somewhat dspritedly. And they take time out occasionally-a reasonable thing when tive at its peak
 The expression the face of onlookers has changed somewhat too. A few months ago the rapt gances which followed a pair of hep-cats around a dance floor said just as plain as words: Gee, wish I could do that" Now a brace of jitterbugS in full swing lucky if they evoke anything more than look of mild astonshment at their energy
 The trend in music doubtless has influenced the change. Or perhaps it has only accompanied it. At any rate, the tendency seems toward sweet music and away from the bass drum solo type of orchestration.
 One mans guess at the reason is good as anothers. World events have cast pail frvol- ity Possibly that explains it. Maybe unconsciously the jtterbugs of America have decided it is un- patriotic to risk their limbs in purely peacetime pur- suits Or then again. maybe they're just getting tired Even from where we sat, it pretty tiring

LIQUOR IN ALASKA

news story in today's Empire reports factual study of the Alaska liquor industry showing it's inn portance source of tax revenue to the Terri tory and to the incorporated towns.
 In addition, the liquor industry has impor- tant relationship to employment and business gen. orally in each community. An Alaska Planning Council study. summary of which released today by the Governors office shows the liquor in- dustry ranks among the leaders in employment, wages paid and other expenditures figuring in munity revenues. In taxation it ranks third, only fisheries and mining exceeding it.
 Based upon figures assembled from the larger communities, the trade pays out in wages, rent light, heat water drayage phone service, advertising and minor miscellaneous items approximately $85OOOO annually It supports some 1,5oO persons. It pays union wages and works union hours It is closely regulated by officers of the Territorial Treasurers office as well as by Federal tax officials
 The liquor industry in Alaska is not illegal or shady industry. It is above board and highly important business. Neither is it an industry Territory. It is private enterprise-wth much justification for existence as private enterprise-as the one in which you are engaged
 These are some of the things to remember when you vote next month on the kquor referendum seek ing expression of the people of Alaska as to stores. We think the people of Alaska are against such system if they stop to think the problem over carefully in all its implications

Undersecretary of the Treasury, and Lewis Douglas. former Budget Di- rector. Directly controlled by Will kie and his personal lieutenants, these are the organizations on which he is depending to carry him into the White House.
 This is new departure in Re- publican campaign machinery, but Willkie believes it is based On sound theory.
 He is convinced that to be elect ed he must win the big floating mass of independent votes. In his opinion, Roosevelt won in 1892 and 1886 because he got the bulk of this support This year, Willkie deems conditions ripe for him to carry it.
 That is why he lavished so much time and work in his guarded Col orado Springs sanctum putting to- gether this new campaign gear He is counting on it to turn the winning trick for him.
 That, also, is why the regular COP machinery has been quietly but firmly pushed into the back ground. Willkie is confident that the boys, even though they may mutter privately, will go along There isn't anything else for them to do. They can't bolt to Roose- welt and they've been out of clover for a long time They've got to take it and like it..

 For eight years the professionals in the precincts, counties and dis tricts, have been grimly hanging on and plugging away hoping for turn in the tide. Now, with pros poets bright for that turn, it sours them to the core to play second fiddle to crew of newcomers many of them Democrats,
 Martin could solve lot of his troubles if he would pass the word down the line assuring the regu- lars that they will handle patron age. But that would be sure to leak out and would raise hob with the Willkie clubs. So he is standing pat and making no promises to the great anguish of the profess sionals.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
SATURDAY. AUGUST 24

OAl 1 OUDA hO1OOl zt
 Good and evil aspects belong to this day. Sinister portents rule the morning, but later benefic in- fluences are active. Labor is un- der a planetary rule that is threat enjng.
 Heart and Home: Domestic af- fairs are well directed Women who adapt themselves to changing world will benefit greatly. Girls should accept the requirements of economic conditions which make it imperative for every one to have wage earning vocation. Curtailed wealth will affect social customs from which will evolve novel meth ods of entertainment. Education along modern lines should be sought.
 Business Affairs: Stocks and bonds will continue under jittery influences. Trade and commerce will expand along new channels as the United States is recognized as the center of world progress. Control of surplus products and scientific distribution are to bring many bene- fits. while great industrial alliances assure prosperity, small business en- terprises should succeed.
 National Issues: Solidarity of in- terest among citizens of the United States should triumph over local ambitions and prejudices. The stars preSage victory for presidential candidate whose wisdom and ex- perience will be assets to a nation which is to meet strange tests in coming months. Closer ties with Canada will be both fortunates and unfortunate, it is forecast. Need of super strength for the aviation and the naval branches of defense will be revealed. Thoroughness of training for young men and young women will be stressed in camps and universities.
 International Affairs: Racial and national problems will contribute to the chaos of thought among subjugated peoples of Europe. Col onial possessions will continue to present difficulties Great suffer- ing in France will cause desperate efforts to escape from oppression and corresponding increase of dic- tatorial tyranny Many refugees will manage to escape to Canada and this country.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of success and good fortune. Unusual business op- portunities are indicated. Children born on this day may be reserved and difficult to un- derstand, but they will know how to succeed. While they may appear selfish, they are nevertheless kind- hearted and generous

congressional duties, didn't want the job. That was why, when the National Committee group met with Willkie in New York, no conclusion was reached on the chairmanship An effort was made to persuade him to continue Hamilton, bu t Willkie stood pat. In this discus sion he based his opposition to Hamilton on three grounds:
 l. That he (Willkie) had won the nomination at the convention over the opposition of the politicos and that if he turned around and entrusted the campaign leadership to them his independent supporters would desIft him.
 3. To win the election he has to get. the independent vote and it cannot be won by the old-line politicians.
 3. That he was advised that the politicos had moved in on Landon in 1886 and had made a botch of his campaign.
 For these reasons, Willkie argued it was necessary to conduct an entirely different kind of campaign with new type of leadership, and as the chosen standard bearer he intended to see that this was done He expressed confidence that un- der Martins command the old and the new, that is the Willkie clubs and the regular organization, could be harmonized to work together.
 Faced with this adamant stand the National Committee chiefs dropped Hamilton. And Joe Martin chiefly through the urging of his close friend Landon, finally agreed to become chairman.
