the press and public opinion.
Many of the delegates had Leen
annoyed by the kilograms and let
ters for Willkie from back home but
in the end the Far West and the
Middle West, plus New England,
pushed Indiana's self-made man
to the front in one of the most
spectacular and hard-fought con-
ventions in all political history.
Not since 1912, when woodrow
Wilson won at Baltimore, has there
been such a spontaneous demonStra-
ton from the people that they
wanted their man nominated.
Stassen to the Rescue.
The fortunes of Wendell Willkie
sagged early yesterday, for the word
had been passed around that the
big delegations were about to gang
up on the Indiana aspirant. 1t was
then that Gov. Stassen, youthful
executive of Minnesota, took
charge and brought order out of
chaos. He rallied the dropping
lines OF the Willkie camp where a
bunch of amateurs had been COM
pletely outmaneuvered by the pro-
fessionals. Ardent Willkie men had
all but given up hope and were de-
spairing of the outcome.
The chief obstacle was the very
thing many observers felt was Will
kie's best asset. He had favored
the objectives Of the New Deal, he
had shown himself an independent
and when he found the New Deal
inadequate he changed his party.
The example of Willkie in chang
ing his party will be offered now to
millions of Democrats, especially in
the solid South, who will be told
they at last have an opportunity
to consummate the coalition of JEFF
fersonian Democrats and Jeffer-
sonian Republicans which for the
last few years has been the hope of
those who felt the New Deal had
violated the fundamental principles
Of the Democratic party.
When Willkie was asked by a
heckler recently why he left the
Democratic party, he said "the
Democratic party left me-" That
will be the answer he will make on
the stump.
Best Chance for Victory.
The Republican party now ap-
proaches the presidential contest
with its best chance for victory in
many years. 1t has a candidate
who is an able campaigner, a re-
markably efficient executive and a
man Of integrity.
WILKES rise to the presidential
nomination makes success story
of which Americans are proud. He
has worked with his hands for a
living. He has never achieved
riches, but he has earned a salary
as big as that of the President of
the United States. All he has in
the world is his salary, and the
small amount he has saved since
he became successful manager of
q large industrial business.
Willkie Is a good stump speaker,
an able debater, and even inside the
New Deal he is appraised as a man
Of integrity and capacity.
The Republican convention of
1910 will pass into history as a con-
test between the people and the
politicians. The political profess
sionals didn't want Willkie. They
had to take him In the end because
the people demanded it and it is
no tribute to the convention system
that a man of WILKES attainments
was not Immediately nominated but
was fought tooth and nail through
out the last week.
The second man on the ticket may
be Senator Taft, If he will accept it
He certainly was the strongest in
the field with the exception OF
Willkie.

PHILADELPHIA, June 2a.-The

votes. This is especially true of

to ensnare both isolationist and in
terventionist votes. If platforms
were anything but ephemeral, there
might be cause to view this one
with alarm. But, like others be-
fore it, it will for all practical pur-
poses, long before election time, be
as forgotten as last years weather.
This column had to be written be-
fore the identity of the Republican
presidential nominee was known.
Whoever he is, one thing is pretty
certain-he will be his own platform.
AS Gov. Landon put it, after the
convention adopted the report OF
the Resolutions Committee, "the
candidate can interpret 1t in the
light of world events" He will, in
other words, as far as war issues
are concerned, espouse whatever the
situation at the time dictates or
seems to make most useful for elec-
toral purposes.
**
Twas Ever Thus.
This may not be craftsmanship,
but it is American politics. Plenty
of bipartisan precedents will sus-
tain the G. o. p standard-bearer If
he lets expediency be his guide. At
random it's recalled now the Hous-
ton Democratic convention in 1923
struck one attitude about prohibi-
ton, and how AL Smith promptly
adopted another. Woodrow Wilson
squeezed into reelection In 1916 on
a keep-out-of-war platform and
went to war six months later. Her.
bert Hoover was elected president
largely on the prosperity issue,
strongly stressed in the Kansas City
platform, only to run head-on into
depression before he was in office
eight months. Roosevelt won in
1882 on a platform pledging as per
cent reduction in Government ex-
penditure. He was reelected in 1896
on platform glorifying conquest of
the Hoover depression, but year
later the country was in the throes
of the Roosevelt recession"

There was uncommon interest in

Deluded Dictators.
Undoubtedly, Hitler and Mussolini
had their unofncial observers at
Philadelphia. It's equally certain
these emissaries faithfully and glee-
fully reported the rancorous dissen-
sion which marked discussion of war
planks. Nor can the totalitarian
representatives have failed to relay
to Berlin and Rome the violent
terms in which the Roosevelt ad-
mlnistration, its alleged war-mon-
gering and incompetence in the
realm of national defense, were as
sailed. Public washing of this dirty
linen, factually based as some Of it
is, must have produced Joy and
comfort in axis quarters. But If
there's any German or italian who
understands the American way, and
Is at liberty to speak the truth, he
can only warn his superiors against
the folly of rushing to rash conclu-
sions about the late unpleasantness
at Philadelphia. 1t does not denote
that the United States is a house
divided against itself. 1t merely
means that one of our two great
parties took full advantage of those
fundamental features inherent in
our system of Government-peace-
able assembly and free speech.
If any Nazis or Fascists believe
the G. o. p. convention typifies
Americans incapacity to give a
sledge hammer account of them
selves, either In preparing for war
or waging war, the totalitarians are
indulging in perilously wishful
thinking. Long after the smoke OF
conflict vanishes in Philadelphia
and Chicago, these will still be the
