Continuing, the Republican nomi-
nee asserted:
Il will leave it to you people
whether this is a Justification.
will leave it to any student of our
times, whether the pattern I have
described is or is not the pattern
of the decline of democracy. 1t is
all written out. 1t is all on the
record.
In judging the record, you must
take into account not alone the
candidate, but the men whom the
candidate has appointed. the thou
sands and thousands of members
of this administration in responsible
positions. You must take into ac-
count what they believe in.
They are the secret ballot behind
the ballot that the third-term can
dldate offers to the country.

Willkie continued, "of the hundred

active in the National Lawyers
Guild and have not resigned?
These are the men behind the bal

They have no faith in our way of

If a proposal of the Registrars
Advisory Board is approved by the

trict registrants will be able to OBJ
tain expert advice about filling out
their questionnaireS by simply ap-
plying to the nearest fire station.
Charles F. Wilson, vice chairman
of the advisory body, said yester-
day that such plan had received
approval of local Fire Department
authorities and Gen. Cox. Mr.. Will
son stressed that the fire station
facilities would be used only as a
supplement to local draft board
headquarters. The advantage of the
fire stations, he pointed out, are
that they are open at all hours and
that frequently firemen would be
available for voluntary assistance
in advising registrants. No espe-
cial equipment is required, other
than table and chairs, which are
readily available in all of the fire
stations now, Mr.. Wilson added.
The suggestion that the fire sta

He reminded the w. P. A. workers
that no one will know how they

booth.
While waiting for his Madison
Square Garden speech, Mr.. Willkie
announced he would make a radio
talk from his train tonight on the
red network of the National Broad
casting Co. from $3.50 to o'clock.
Mr.. Willkie today was practically
at the end of a journey that sets a
record for distance covered by a
candidate, and in the course of
which he checked an early down.
ward trend and started his CAM
paign on steady upward swing.
In Camden last night Mr.. Will
kie continued to take the fight to
his opponent as he has with greater
vigor since the President began ac-
tive campaigning in the last two
weeks of the campaign. After de-
claring that the tradition against
more than two terms 'is not even
mentioned by the third-term candi-
date" Mr. Willkie put this direct
question to the President:
"Mr. Third Term Candidate, will
you not, please, before you conclude
your campaign, tell the American
people why you should be permitted
to violate this sacred principle of
a free government"
Mr.. Willkie also continued last
night to criticize Ambassador Ken
nedy for returning from England
and speaking in the political cam
paign. All day yesterday the Re
publican candidate hammered away
at the Presidents reference to Mr..
Kennedy as my Ambassador.
1T used to be my friends" said
Mr.. Willkie at Camden. Now it is
my Ambassador Pretty soon it
may be my generals 1t certainly
is my cabinet Then it will be
my people, But there is one thing
that will be perfectly clear after
November 5. 1t isn't his White
House. It's the peoples White
House"
Mr.. Willkie built his Camden
speech around the problem of max
ing democracy work in the modern
machine age. He pictured people
in other parts of the world turning
in recent years away from free
government lin fear and hopeless
ness" because they believed that
democracy and machines could not
exist together"
Pointing out that the United
States also must solve the machine
age problem, and that after seven
and a half years of the New Deal
there are still millions of unem-
ployed, Mr.. Willkie inquired: And
how shall we do that? Shall we,
too, like the bewildered people of
Europe, turn to the State? Shall
Take control of it. Take control of
us. Anything, so long as you put
us back to work People of America,
this is the challenge that I put
to you"
The task confronting this coun-
try, he said, is to find within
ourselves, the solution to this prob
lem that has wrecked the demo-
cratic world
Hits Administration Efforts.
After condemning New Deal
efforts to solve the problem, Mr..
Willkie said: r.. ...-
"And the head of that New Deal
party comes before you people to-
day and asks for one more extern
sion of power, vast and un-
precendented extension. He asks
you to abrogate that tradition
