candidates. Even II he does not
enter the preference primary In
Ohio. 1t is understood he may
fight for delegates in some Of the
Ohio dstricts-for example In
Cleveland-where he is supposed
to have good deal of strength.
The New Hampshire primary,
March II, may prove q test for
Mr.. Willkie. He has considerable
support in the State. but it has
been assured that an unpledged
slate Of delegates will be put for
ward and he has to decide
whether he will enter a slate of
delegates pledged to himself. II
he does it may turn into q hard
fight.
Roosevelt Position Uncertain.
Since the recent Republican
victories in Kentucky, New York
and New Jersey there has been
more and more speculation as
to whether President Roosevelt
will run again next year. The
New Dealers insist that these
elections were local affairs, in
fluenced by local conditions, and
that they could not be inter-
pretsd In terms Of national
trends. This is the way the New
Dealers like to regard those elec-
tions. 1t is significant, however,
that they all went one way-Re-
publican.
November 30, anothere test in
Kentucky will take place, when
a special election to fill a House
seat will be held in the 4th con-
gressional district. If the Repub-
llcans should by chance carry
this district there would be no
doubt about the swing OF the po-
litical pendulum. They insist
they have a chance-though the
district has been Democratic for
long time. Representative Creal,
whose death makes necessary the
special election, carried the dis
trict IN 1912 by about 4,8OO votes.
In the recent gubernatorial race,
the Democrats again carried the
district, but with a lead of only
2s0 votes. They will make a par
ticular effort to carry 1t again In
order to show that the State has
not turned Republican and away
from President Roosevelt and the
New Deal.
The Democratic nominee is J.
Dan Talbot, a close friend of
Senator Chandler and patronage
dispenser for the last three State
administrations. The Republicans
have nominated C. o. Carrier.
who has held a number of Offices
IN the Republican organization
OF the district. With only two
weeks or so in which to cam
paign, the advantage should rest
with Mr.. Talbot, who has been
widely known for years in the
district. II the Republicans arc
able to keep the Democrats to
4 small majority, much smaller
than in 1912. 1t will be considered
by them a demonstration OF
strength.
Byrd Is Silent.
Just as in 1910, the Democratic
presidential neld is pre.empted
by President Roosevelt. As long
as he remains q probable can
didate, other candidates can
scarcely get under way. This is
not true, Of course, of anti -Roose-
welt Democrats who may enter.

Virginia already IS being put
forward as a candidate OF anti
New Dealers. He himself, how
ever, has made no statement
whatever as to his political plans.
II President Roosevelt should
IN the end determine not To Iun,
the field would be wide open.
The New Deal and anti-New Deal
factions Of the party may be ex-
pected to clash strongly. Vice
President Wallace might be a
candidate Of some Of the New
Dealers under such conditions.
But he would meet strong op-
position. Senator Scott Lucas Of

in some quarters as . possibility

I'd Rather Be Rioht-

with such Legitimate" centers Of
power, wherever We found them.
That was Mr.. Churchills plea, In
July, IN that strange, unkempt
speech, with more growl than bite
to it, when he, in effect, pleaded for
the King and Badoglio.
But who's legitimate now, In Italy7
Sforza and Croce are not appealing
to the legitimate King and his legit!-
mate Premier for support. It Is the
other way around entirely. The King
and marshal are appealing to sforza
and Croce and they are appealing II,
vain. The plain truth is that, no
government in Italy will be "legiti-
mate" until Sforza and Croce Join
it. The strange quality Of legitimacy
seems to have transferred itself to
these two men. neither Of whom has
any legal authority whatever.
They do not need the Kings ap-
pointment; he needs theirs. Unless
they dub him King all over again,
perhaps with . rolled-up copy Of 4
prodemocratic Newspaper. he is not
going to be King.
Same Wsy With De GauIle.
In just the same way, no French
government is going to be "legiti-
mate" unless De Gaulle is in 1t. We
do not have freedom of choice In
these matters. They happen. When
they happen, they are quite as inevi-
table as the birth of princeling.
They happen through the individual
miracle by which a man elects him.
self to do hard job, and then the
popular miracle by which he gains
support Tn 1t. There is a kind OF
democratic legitimacy, too, a line of
descent Of power which has nothing
to do with who was the father OF
whom, or who happened to hold
possession Of the state seals.
But sometimes there IA no better
monarchtst than 4 democrat In 4
dilemma. II We would only realize
that sforza and Croce and their
friends are the new "legitimates" for
Italy. and De Gaulle for France, we
would, If we were on our toes, begin
TO try to win them to our hearts 1t
once. We don't have to be too hum.
bic. Just one-tenth the humility
we once displayed to such dubious
legltimates as Franco and Vittorio
Emmanuel will do the job admirably.

II We cannot exercise our in

ministration which depends on

created armies, how can the
small nations hope to be saved
from the domination Of Russia2
When 1t was disclosed that
Secretary Hull would head the
American delegation at Moscow
there was jubilation among the
representatives Of the smaller
states. In their frequent con.
yersations with the Secretary,
they gained the full conviction
that Mr.. Hull was a very stub
born man as far as principles
were concerned.
1t was confidently expected
that he would rather leave in
allegiance all matters concern
ing the future OF the European
states than permit some desecra-
ton Of the Atlantic Charter.
Green Light Given Moscow.
Realists in Washington had no
illusion as to the fate Of the ma
tions bordering Russia. But 1t
was not expected that the Mos
COW conference would actually
turn on the green light and tell
MoscoW-by imp.ication-to go
ahead and occupy these coun-
tries and discuss their future
status later.
1t was hoped that for forms
sake. at least, suggestion would
be made that all the territories
from which the Nazis were to be
expelled should fly the flags of
Russia, the United States and
Great Britain.
1t also was hoped that the
Russians might agree that the
administration of the liberated
countries would be in the hands
OF the three major powers until
a plebiscite could be held.
The American and British Gov
ernments were quite willing to
have Soviet representatives par
tictpate in the administration
OF the territories in the west. The
Mediterranean Council. which
was to include the Russians,
should have paved the way for
such an understanding. In fact,
1t may have meant little, but it
would have given the impression
that no individual power but the
United Nations as a whole wer
taking care OF their weaker
wards.
