Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg
of Michigan, the last of the can
didates to reach the city, drove
up to the Adelphia hotel to receive
a noisy welcome from the Michi-
gan delegation. All followed him to
an upstairs ball room - some car
rying big placards saying: "wel-
come Van, you're our man." The
senator mounted a lottery b a | |
room chair, from which precar-
ious position he delivered a short
address with all the vigorous ges-
lures which characterize his ora
tory.
"It is patriotic politics that has
moved me repeatedly to say" he
asserted to the cheering throng

to elaborate, or to name names,
but one of his campaign leaders
said that most of the bitterness
of which Bridges spoke was di

Talk of candidates was mingled

SAFE A LITTLE LONGER

British airmen will have to do better than
they did in their raids over Sylt if they are
to inconvenience the Nazis in their harass-
ment of British shores.
American newspaper men, inspecting the
bombed area on the German blight, report
no serious damage done during seven hours
Of bombing. Nazi anti-aircraft guns were so
efficient, it seems, that the attackers were
kept at too great a height for accuracy, and
the expedition, heroically planned and cour-
ageously executed, accomplished practically
nothing.
At the same time, it gave Belgium and
Holland longer security against invasion. If
the Sylt bases had been destroyed, the Ger
mans probably would have moved in on eth
er or both countries in search of new bases
from which to harry the British. Such a
move would bring them about 200 miles closer
to the English coast.
But as long as the British fail. to damage
Sylt they will continue to hop off from there
rather than involve themselves in additional
difficulties with the lowland nations.
