Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AVERlLL.

In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, June l7-There's no mis-
taking the overwhelming interest
that is being taken in the European
war and in the action this country
is to take with respect to 1t.
There is likewise no miStaklng the
fact that an overwhelming majority
of folks hereabout are completely
sympathetic to the allies.
But there still exists surprising
ly large number of folks who are
clinging desperately to the idea that
we will not have to fight-noW or
ever.
All these statements were amply
confirmed by last weeks meeting
here to form Raleigh unit Of the
"Committee to Defend America by
Aiding the Allies"
Above all things, the session prov
ed that this is still very much a demo-
cracy. There were somewhere in the
neighborhood of $50 persons present
and there seemed to be at least half
a hundred views of varying shades
and everybody who wanted to, got
up and expressed them.
Which led one speaker to point
his moral by asking what would
happen to such an assembly if tried
in Germany or Italy.
How long would it take to Whisk
the diSsenters from the official view

man recently, ito wire our new

a great Republican and a great

every bit of strength we have
in West Virginia will be mobiliz
ed at once to eliminate the great
est existing danger to our ma
tional defense, the New Deal
administration at Washington.
ID. Boone Dawson, our nomi-
nee for governor also wired
Chairman Martin that "the over
whelming public sentiment here
which impelled the nomina-
ton Of Wendell L. Willkie is
everywhere evident.
"Willkie's nomination, our

be assured of my full co-opera-
ton and assistance in the cleo
ton of Wendell L. Willkie as
our next president
THAT 1 wired Martin, and
Mr.. Dawson told him." Kay con
tinued "is an accurate picture
of public sentiment in this state
today. Our Republican presi-
Dental nominee is a man of the
people and for the people; and
he has been chosen our stand
ard bearer by the people. That
choice will be officially ratified
in November.
From this day forward until
the polls close on the evening of
November 5, l am confident we
can count on the active, alert,
intelligent aggressive interest
of every loyal American in West
Virginia in our fight to preserve

Of life. The only way to do that
in this years election is to sup

WILLKIE WISDOM

Wendell l.. Willkie, Republi-

been described as having that
rare talent which distinguished
such men as Abraham Lincoln
and Will Rogers from their
fellows: a penetrating insight
and a honey philosophy that
pierces straight to the heart of
a complex issue and lays bare
in pitiIess simplicity.
When he was asked if he
would have a brain trust" in
washington, Willkie replied:
Certainly, we need brains
and we need trust. All we have
had so far in Washington has
been trust"
Asked if he would write his
own speeches or have a ghost
writer, Willkie said:
