Registration requirements brought some necessary confessions. Some of those who have claimed to be over 35 were shane-facedly in line to sign up, as were some of the youths who have insisted that they were under 21.
 Many districts had lines formed before the taking of the required in- formation began at a. m. One district had enough in line to keep the teacher-vOIunteers busy until after 8 o'clock.
 Despite the wide publicity given the fact that the registration ques- tions were. only for general infor- nation, there were many who be- lieved that, once. they signed, they would be assigned to camp for a years training.
 One strapping six-fOOter, after leaving his registration center, found that his card described him as only 5h feet tall. He had the error corrected quickly.

It's Roosevelt

The precedent is broken-the tradition gone.
The dominant. political party in its national
convention has nominated the president it has
kept in the White House eight years for a third
term. Franklin Delano Roosevelt is the candi-
date of the democrats-and by reclamation.
In ordinary circumstances with the nation
enjoying average prosperity and with peace IN
the world, such a step would not have been
considered. Today, when the hordes OF op-
preston have put all but one of Europe's de-
mocracies in chains and are mobilizing for at
tack upon it, when America has a job to do
which requires not only efficiency but vast
knowledge of International conditions and ma
tional needs, it was apparent to the party lead
ership and the great masses of voters that our
greatest assurance of security lay in retaining
at the head of government the man who has
watched European democracies crumble, guild
ed this nation back to economic stability from
the depression into which the republicans had
plunged it, and laid the foundation for national
defense in the greatest emergency it has con-
fronted since England sent its armies across
the Atlantic in l776.
1t was not merely that the democratic lead
ership desired a strong candidate, a man
whose chances of victory in the November
election were better than those of the republi-
can candidate. Rather it was the need for a
candidate whose capabilities as a leader in diff
fcult times were already proved and whose
ability to bring the United States through the
trying days ahead with honor was assured. 1t
was a matter of picking the best man IN
American for. Americas biggest job. This is
why the party convention at Chicago nornin
ated Roosevelt, and why another candidate,
James A. Farley, suppressing all personal feel
ing and ambition, demanded that the nonnin-
alton be 'by acclamation."
This proposal of Farley's, Immediately ac-
cepted by the delegates, is almost as unusual
as the tearing down of the third-term tradl-
ton. Washington was nominated by acclama-
ton, but not since then has a major party. a
real contender in the presidential race, named
it's candidate by the same process.
Well, the tradition is gone. There is today
before the voters of America a candidate Tor
a third term. What this will mean in the fu-
ture is something only the future can reveal
All that we may know now is that the country
is offered opportunity to retain in office a presl-
dent who knows more of the worlds difficult
problems than any other man in the land, has
proved his right to leadership, and under
whose guidance the United States will be best
able to maintain it's high position among the
nations of the world.
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-07-19

now, and will continue to focus throughout the
campaign ahead, is that dealing with the
party's attitude on the European war. The
platform promises to send no armed forces to
fight in foreign lands, outside the Americas,
Except in case of attack" Expressing sym.
pathy with the cause of Great Britain, it
promises "all the material aid at our COM
mand, consistent with law and not inconsistent
with the interests of our own national defense"
This places the United States in the position
of having to maintain the provisions of the
Monroe Doctrine, dear to all Americans,
throughout the Americas, if the totalitarian
powers seek to extend their conquests to the
Western Hemisphere. In other words the DEM
ocratic party stands squarely upon the founda-
tons laid by the early builders of our indie
pendence, in the firm belief that they alone as
sure our future national integrity and our lib
critics.
It is upon these principal planks in the par
tvs platform that the voters of America are
asked to place their faith. 1t is a good platform
we'll calculated to carry the party, under
Roosevelt's leadership, to another victory at
the polls.

Industry And The Election

Informed quarters in New York are reported
to believe that national defense expenditures
will not be reflected Importantly in the trend
Of total industrial production until November
or December. The vigorous state Of industry,
however, is sure to be referred to frequently in
the forthcoming political campaign and will
have a strong influence upon the voting
strength of the Democratic party, under whose
administration the pickup has been brought
about.
During June and early this month contracts
for about a billion dollars have been let in the
defense program. The bulk of this has been
for s%hipbuilding, and it requires one to two
years to build a warship. But the payrolls re-
quired for fulfilling these contracts will be GO
ing on throughout the construction period. In
evitably, they will have their effect upon the
November election.
Large airplane contracts are pending. Steel
requirements for such contracts as have been
tentatively indicated are variously estimated
at between 10000, 900 and 49, 600, 900 tons. Here
again earnings of workers will play their part
in the national poll. The millions of laborers
who will find their pay steadier and, because
of the more hours of service, larger, will attrib-
ute the fact to Roosevelt.
