The Great Game of Politics.

Couple all this with the facts that
Mr.. Willkie has a potent press sup
port and real popular following,
and, despite the bitterness toward
him, his advantages in the nominal
ton race are obvious. AS for the
election, his friends point out that
Mr.. Roosevelt defeated him in 1910
by majority of less than 100000;
that in the nature of things the
President cannot be as strong now
as he was then, that a shift of less
than half a million votes in the
pivotal States would reverse the re-
suit; that Mr.. Willkie has not lost
strength since l94O but gained it.
and that the Republicans who Op-
pose him for the nomination will
support him after he gets it.
Progress With Negro Vote.
All of this is, of course, a one
sided argument and will be vigor-
ously disputed by those who regard
Mr.. Willkie as almost as much a
New Dealer as Mr.. Roosevelt and
hold it would be suicidal" for the
Republicans to nominate him. There
are good many such in the party.
Nevertheless, there is one asset
which Mr.. Willkie has acquired since
1910 that ought not to be overlooked
This is the progress he has made
with the Negro vote, which more or
less holds the balance of power in
eight or nine pivotal States above
the Mason and Dixon line. In 1896
and again in 1910, though for so
years this vote had belonged to the
Republican party, Mr.. Roosevelt got
more than 80 per cent of it. This
was partly due to Federal patronage
and the WPA, but very great con-
trlbuting factor was Mrs. Roosevelt.
Mr.. Farley, who directed the early
New Deal strategy to capture the
Negroes, thinks she should get the
largest credit.
Now the claim is made by his
frlendS-and also by some detached
and posted observers that Mr.. Will
kle has acquired great strength
among the Negro leaders; that he
would poll more Negro votes against
MI. Roosevelt than any other Re
publican candidate, that he is. in
fact, as popular as Mr. Roosevelt
with them though not as popular as
Mrs. Roosevelt.
There are a number of reasons for
this. but mainly it is due to his plea
to the moving picture industry, a
year or so TO cease discrimination
against the Negroes This plea was
so earnest and lmpassioned AS to
sweep the important Negro leaders
who heard it off their feet and win
for MI. Wlllkle their unstinted
friendship and gratitude.
The really practical politicians be-
lleye that any considerable loss of
his Negro support would more surely
defeat Mr.. Roosevelt than anything
else. Certainly he could not have
won without it last time.
