By GOULD LINCOLN.

Wendell L. Willkie, the Repub-
lican presidential candidate in
1910, did the expected thing when
he announced he would support
by his vote the Republican State
ticket in New York, including
Thomas E. Dewey, who is the
COP candidate for Governor.
For him not to have come for
ward as he did would have been
as incredible as failure on the
part Of President Roosevelt to
announce his support OF the
Democratic candidate for Cover
nor of New York, Attorney Gen.
eral John j. Bennett, jr. Both
are the titular leaders Of their
political parties and both are
voters in New York.
It is no secret that neither the
President nor Mr.. Willkie was
pleased with the gubernatorial
nominees Of their respective par
ties. For the President to have
continued entirely aloof from this
major campaign in his own home
State would have left many
Democrats cold all over the coun-
try.
If Mr., Willkie had remained
silent he would have been &C
cused of being no true Repub-
lican. Both men would have been
charged with giving precedence
to their own personal dislikes
rather than to the welfare. of
their parties.
The belated statements Of both
the President and Mr.. Willkie
regarding the gubernatorial con-
test in New York probably have
had little effect on the actual
outcome Of the election being
held today. However, they have
kept their party records clean.
The suggestion that Mr.. Willkie
is slipping back to his old politi-
cal allegiance to the Democratic
party has been. several times
made in recent months. 1t has
even been suggested he might be
the choice of the Democrats for
President in 1914. It looks as
though Mr.. Willkie had effectu-
ally given the lie to these reports
in the statement he made Sat-
urday night.
Slaps at Administration.
Not only did Mr.. Willkie state
his support of the Republican
State ticket in New York, but he
made a direct attack on the con-
duct of the war by the Roosevelt
administration. His charges that
it lacked courageous leadership"
and was inefficient we're hot shots
that undoubtedly will not endear
him to the New Dealers.
Furthermore, he insisted that
the election of enlightened and
liberal Republicans to the House
and Senate would be an advan-
tage to the war effort.
The outcome of the elections
today in all parts of the country
may have a considerable bearing
e on the political situation in 1914,
when it comes to the selection Of
presidential candidates by the
two major parties. Mr.. Willkie
g. is not a candidate for renomina-
ton by the Republicans. That
he would be glad to carry the
party standard in 1914, however,
is believed by many who know
him to be the case.
What the Presidents attitude
toward a fourth term may be has
not been disclosed. However,
some of his more ardent support
ers have already declared them
selves in favor of still another
four years for him in the White
House.
1t is obvious that if Mr.. Dewey

in a good condition, but they do
not have the necessary ammuni-
ton for a stubborn campaign.
Whether the Germans have
been able to rush across the
Mediterranean in the last few
weeks enough war material to
make up the deficiency of the
French forces in North Africa
is hard to say.
The Germans have the neces-
sary supplies but they remain
suspicious of the attitude of the
French troops and do not know
whether they can be trusted with
the amount of war material
needed if an American-British
landing is attempted.
On the report of Admiral OAR
Ian the Germans will, it is be-
lieved, decide whether it is safe
to rush supplies to North Africa
or necessary to take men from
Gen. Gerd Won Rundstedt's COM
mand and send them across the
Mediterranean to meet possible
Allied attack.
Laval, in spite of his wiling
ness to cooperate 100 per cent
with the new order in Europe,
is not trusted by the Nazi general
staff. Darlan has a Well-estab-
lished reputation of being willing
assist the Reich in a military way.

The Political Mill
Good Record by Dewey as Governor Moy
Sidetrock WiIIkie as 1914 Candidate

and makes a good record In that
Office during the first half of his
term of Office, the Republicans
will seek him as a presidential
candidate. He will have been the
first Republican Governor of the
Empire State in a score OF years.
This may have the effect OF sty-
mieing any ambitions that Mr..
Willkie may have for the presi-
Dental nomination.
Mr.. Dewey has said both pri-
vately and publicly that he ex-
poets to serve out his full four
year term as Governor. How
ever, If the next Republican Ma
tional Convention should call on
him to take a presidential nomi-
nation, it would be difficult to
resist. Mr.. Dewey is a young man,
and it may be that his decision
will rest on what the political
conditions and prospects are
when 1914 rolls round.
Farley to Stay.
The control of the New York
State Democratic organization
will remain with State Chairman
James A. Farley, no matter how
the election goes. Mr.. Farley has
no intention whatever of relin-
gushing that control. He re-
mains State chairman during the
next two years.
Mr.. Farley was opposed to a
third-term nomination for Presi-
dent Roosevelt. That ne would
oppose a fourth-term nomina-
ton goes without saying. Fur
Their, he would look askance on
the selection Of the President, in
all probability, If Mr.. Roosevelt
himself were not a candidate two
years hence.
If Mr.. Farley controls the
Democratic organization, it is
easy to understand that he will
also control the big New York
delegation to the next Democratic
National Convention.
Much will depend on the inter-
national situation when it comes
time to pick Democratic presi-
dental candidate. If the war is
still on, there probably will be
great insistence on the part of
the Democrats the country over
to renominate the President.
Under such circumstances the
opposition of Mr.. Farley would
have little effect on the result in
the convention itself, unless con-
ditions in the country were dis
tinctly bad.
A general Republican swing
throughout the country, If it
takes place today, would be an
indication that the administra-
ton in Washington has lost pop
ularity-and that, too, would be
weighed In the balance two years
hence.
The Democrats are relying to-
day particularly on the labor
vote to swing the elections their
way. Some OF the Democratic
leaders are admittedly puzzled,
however, as to how much Of this
vote will actually go to the polls
and register.
The elections In Maine, coming
two months. earlier than the
elections throughout the country,
have long been discounted as
a national political barometer.
However, in the Portland district
in Maine this year, there are
estimated to be $4,000 shipyard
workers. In this district the
Democrats put forward their
strongest candidate, former Gov.
Brann, as a candidate for the
House. He was defeated by TO-
600 votes How much this means
will be demonstrated today.

frame OF mind of the officers and

no love for the Germans or the

French Lack Ammunition.
A reliable French officer who
recently escaped gave this answer
when asked the chances Of the
French forces joining the Allies:
"If you come with only $4,000
men and a limited naval and air
force, the French Navy and
ground forces will fight to the bit
ter end. If you come in force
there will be only token opposi-
ton. If you don't succeed in

besides the old 1889 and 1910
"crates." But they lack gasoline.
