Director, American Institute Of
Public OpinIon


PRINCETON, N. J. - To shed
light on the meteoric rise Of
Wendell Willkie in national popu-
larity, the American Institute has
Just completed survey in which
voters in all sections of the coun-
try and in all income levels were
asked whether they thought Will
kie would make a good president.
Both those who thought he would
and those who thought he would
not were asked why they felt SO.
Their reasons are particularly
revealing because they show that
the feeling against big business
which was current five or six
years ago has been substantially
altered. In fact. over half of those
voters who think Willkie would

Drawings Tell
CitY's Growth
Bunk to Publish
Series in Times

Tacomans interested in the oity's
history are scheduled for treat in
a series of advertisements TO be
published in The Tacoma Times
by the Puget Sound National bank.
Drawings made OF photographs
taken so years ago OF different
spots of the business section. and
the same locations today showing
the marvellous changes that have
taken place. will be published at
the same time. These advertise
ments have been prepared to mark
the 50th anniversary ot the found
ing of the Puget Sound National
bank on May s, 1890, at its first
location. 1921 Pacific ave.
Bonney Cooperates
The series was prepared with the
cooperation OF w. p. Bonney. Sec
rotary of Washington State His
torical society and head of the
Ferry museum in Tacoma. Draw
ings were made from these old
photographs which are priceless
because so few are in existence.
The advertisements have been
bound in book form and one of
these will repose in the Ferry
museum for future use. When the
Puget Sound National bank was
organized as the Puget Sound Saw
ings bank in 1890, the first board
consisted OF Jesse B. Sutton, DAN
iel s. Gsrlich. George Tibbits, Gen.
John w. Sprague and II. F. Car
retson. Mr.. Sutton was the first
president, Gen. Sprague was chos-
en- vice president. Mr.. Tibbits was
secretary. and Mr.. Garlich was
cashier. The notary public, nota-
rizing the first minutes, was the
late Judge Emmett N. Parker of
the Washington state supreme
court. The minutes were certified
before Edward Higgins, then audi
tor of Pierce county and w. II.
Hollis. deputy.
Added Two to Board
Shortly after the first trustees
were elected, John Horsfall and
f. f. Rosling were added to the
board. 1t is interesting to note
that in the records of the bank
a typewriter was not used until
1911. all of the early records hav-
ing been written in long hand. At
the time of the Puget Sound Ma
tional bank opening for business
June 10. 1890. Tacoma had a popu-
lation of 37,714. Its growth had
been rapid and despite the popula-
ton, the early photographs show
that 1t was still frontier COM
munity. Since that time the
changes have been great and Ia
coma has assumed an important
place as manufacturing center
and as a world port.
1--WE believe this series of adver-
tisements will be interesting to all
Tacomans," said Reno Odlin, presi-
dent of the Puget Sound National.
To old timers they will revive
many memories and to those who
have come in later years they will
give some idea Of the city's earlier
period Tacoma has progressed
greatly during the half century
and the Puget Sound National has
kept pace with the city's develop
ment."

Youth Vs. "OId Timers" ]" Exception Taken to Evident Campaign to Elim-. mate Veteran Democratic Party Workers
 in Current Primary Campaign
lBY AN OLDTIMERl

"Kick out the old, bring in the new" This, if stories are true, seems to be the slogan of the. city's newly organized Democratic party. That is if you can believe stories emanating from the Wash ington Hill section and which are being printed and voiced by so called youngsters in the Demo- cratic party, who actually know about as much about practical politics as the Kindergarten class in your favorite school It's apparently a grevious sin as far as certain of the younger element is concerned to have been a good loyal supporter of the local Democratic party for 30 or 40 years or more and if by any chance one happened to have held public office during that time you're a political leper" in the new Setup.
 The senatorial fight in the 18th senatorial district between Senator Edward Egan and former Senator Joseph Lawlor has brought this point forcibly to the foreground. One of the arguments used by several of the young Dem- Ocratic group, who are opposed to former Senator Lawlor is that he is not only an "oldtimer" in pofi- tics but worst of all he has as treasurer of his campaign and one of his chief supporters, former Public Works Commissioner James A. Phelan.

Socialists Likely
 To Endorse F.D.R.
State Convention in Meriden Tomorrow May Witness
 Drastic MOve-McLevy Running for Governor

The Socialist Party of Connecti- cut, meeting in convention in Mer- iden tomorrow and Sunday, may refuse to back the national partys candidate for president and in- stead vote an endorsement of Pres ident Roosevelt. denomination of Mayor Jasper McLevy of Bridge port for governor seems assured, despite some opposition to him
 Samuel Wolozin, former Socialist town chairman here and one of the 21 Waterbury delegates to the con- vention, said today that there is much sentiment in the party's ranks in Waterbury and about the state for an endorsement of President Roosevelt for reelection. Most of the Waterbury delegates, he said, would support such move.
 The Socialists have high hopes of eIecting Mayor McLevy governor this year, claiming that he will get even more votes than the amazing total of 166,O00 he boiled in 1888. They count on another major drift away from the major parties.
 The proposal to back President Roosevelt will undoubtedly get to the floor for a final decision. A powerful bloc will demand support of the Socialist nominee, Norman Thomas, while another group will seek to have the presidential ques- ton avoided altogether.
 The Waterbury delegates to the state convention, chosen at a cau- GUS here late last month, are as fol- lows:

belonged to no political party and wanted nothing from Republicans or Democrats. But available rec ords indicate the mayor still is an enrolled, non-dues paying member of the American Labor Party which he joined in December, 1887, soon after his reelection.
 Prospects In View
 Usually a Republican, once tech- nically a Socialist, a successful Frlsionist and now Self-Styled non- party man, LeGuardia still might be a major factor in New York politics if MT. Roosevelt were reelected and gave him the nod and some federal patronage. It is situation to cause Tammany Hall third termers to wonder their own status after next November. New York elects a gov- ernor in 1942 and LaGuardia might like a shot at that. New York City elects a mayor next year.
 Last night La Guardia broadcast his preference for Roosevelt with his known faults to Willkie with his unknown virtues," and saluted the New Deal reform, recovery and so- cial welfare record. But he stepped aboard the third term special still brandishing his fist against Tam many, his fcllow riders. He con- demned Wendell L. Willkie, Repub- lican candidate, as possessor of a Tammany masters degree" in the form of certificate of election as a New York County Democratic com mitteeman.
 He said that he did not under value MT. Roosevelt's opponent in the persent campaign.
 Slap At Willkie
 "He (Willkie) is a, brilliant ex- ecutive of a utility holding com pany," he said. If were a band holder in the Commonwealth and Southern Corporation interested on- ly in the dividends on my holdings, I would cast my vote for MT. Willkie." ...
 Government administration is a science. It cannot be learned over night. In these perilous times there can be no time lost in getting the feel of things by new administra- tion or time out for breaking in a new cabinet"
 From Nashville, Ind, Willkie re- piled by linking LaGuardia with James J. Walker, who resigned the New York nlayoralty while under investigation by the then Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, Mayor Frank Hague, Jersey City, Mayor Edward J. Kelly, Chicago, and Chairman Edward J. Flynn, of the Democratic National Committee.
 LaGuardia once attempted to turn Walker out of New York's city hal. with reform campaign but was de- feated. He has just named his old enemy to 8 $2o,OO0-a-year job as
