DEWEY. WILLKIE TOP G. O.P. LIST
mo One WANTS WILLKIE BUT PEOPLE"

WASHINGTON. - Despite dis
chalmers from his Albany office,
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New
York is being counted today as
among the foremost possibilities
for the 1914 Republican presi-
Dental nomination.
Dewey's aides say he will not
seek the nomination. But they
haven't said anything about what
would happen if the convention
were deadlocked and someone
began to chant Draft Dewey. "
So Republican politicians gener-
ally are thinking of 1914 in
terms of only three or four men:
Dewey, Wendell l.. Willkie, Gov.
John w. Bricker of Ohio and
Gen. Douglas Macarthur.
Brielxer Stock Low
The Macarthur boom does not
amount TO much, but some OF
the capitals smartest political
strategists, including Senator
Arthur H. Vandenberg. Republi-
can, Michigan, believe the Re
publicans could win with him.
Among the three civilians,
Broker is in the least advan-
tageous position. altho there
would be ample time in the next
II months for a campaign build
up that would put him substan-
tally abreast of the two New
Workers.
The most spectacular figure is
Willkie. A catch phrase some.

times heard around the National
Press club is taht mo one wants
Willkie but the people," That is
reference to the fact that he
polled an astonishing $4,000, 900
votes in 1910 against President
Roosevelt, and that organization
Republicans bitterly oppose him.
Has Big Following
His strength lies in a big ma
tional following. Observers who
were counting him among the
politically deceased as recently
as six months ago will concede
now that he is the Invest corpse
on record and may repeat next
year at the Republican national
convention. He has stirred the
imagination of a great many of
his fellow citizens. The almost
unprecedented sales of his book,
"One World" written after last
years around-the-world flight is
proof enough of that = and the
politicians have made note of the
fact.
Many strategists believe Will
kie has weakened his own posi-
tiOn nv failing m take the lead
ership of attack on Mr.. Roose-
velt's domestic policies. 1t is
fairly certain that he will not
be nominated next year unless
he does shortly speak out, and
frequently. in adverse criticism
of the way things tare going or
the home front.

N. w. Eenterprise Representative
1t is my firm belief that Robert
e. Lee Folkes is innocent" de-
elared Leroy Lomax, attorney for
the defendant in the case of the
State of Oregon VS.. Robert
Folkes. Mr.. Lomax was speaking
before a crowd of NAACP mem
bers Monday night in a meeting
held at the AME Zion Church.
The attorney gave facts to sub
stantiate his conviction of Folkes
innocence. by relating Folkes' ac-
lions from the time he got up
that Hateful morning until the
time he was arrested. 1t was
proved beyond a shadow of a
doubt that Folkes arose at 4:4O
a. M, smoked a cigarette with
the train porter in car "D", went
to the diner, followed by this
same train porter to the door,
made mullins, coffee and was
serving the employees at $50
when the murder was discovered.
IF he could squeeze in a muir
der during that space of time
with all the other activities, he
must be a super-man. His ac-
tons since his arrest, and during
the trial. have never been those
of condemned man.
The papers have tried this
case, the lawyer. continued, be-
fore the court had its opportun-
ity, the result has been that the
public has been led to believe,
enormously and most unjustly,
m this mans guilt. For instance.

New York has her air warden.
Seattle has one too. No one
knows to what extreme he will
carry his audacity. He still has
free rein.
Seattleites interviewed express
the same opinion. Race prejudice
is nothing more or less than a
latent volcano wherever it exists.
Reason flees the mob and the
mob knows no law. The quick
action of the Christian forces
here may serve to avert the vol
canic activity.

In essence Mayor William F. Devin requests the
city council to dismiss Chief of Police Kimsey for failure
to rid Seattle of prostitution and vice.
