may have outsmarted himself.
He holds office by virtue of a
coalition between the Republic
cans and the American Labor
party, a political shotgun mar
riage. Now that he has SUBJ
jected himself to the Browder-
Hillman coalition, the Republic
cans cannot accept him.
In fact. there is renewed talk
in this town of a Republican"
Democratic coalition for mayor
in the hope that the citizens
might get one who does not rep
resent the Communist minority.
IN ALL this, Sidney Hillman
L plays his usual role of a New
Deal opportunistic hatchet-man
who does what he is told TO do,
which in this case was to try
10 fix it so that the 100000 or
100000 votes that the ALP
has developed in these parts can
be held in line for Mr.. Roose-
welt for a fourth term. If he
can do that in the election. IL
will be very helpful. Hillman,
however. is so foxy IN his ma.
nipulations that even when he
comes clean, he is suspected OF
typical strategy. He won the
primaries, il is -trle, hut he has
left behind him enough agony
and anger that il is doubtful
that any one can mop UP after
him with any measure of sue
cess.

POLITICAL PARADE

WE must not only outbuild

The young generation. with its
creative audacity in the fields

in this connection.
THE most advanced instru-
l. ment of destruction at our
disposal is the airplane. In it
we can deliver the most de-
structive force with the smallest

Only through the application
of air power can a crew of half

60 THE Democrats merely
~ held their own in the second
Oklahoma district last Tuesday.
But the manner in which the
Democratic majority has been
whitfield down in recent cleo
tons is impressive, and politi-
cally Of great significance.
Roosevelt carried this district
in 1882 by 10000.
He carried II again In 1885
by 2l,0O0.
He carried II in 1910. but by
only 1900. In Tuesdays special
election the Democratic candi-
date won by a slender margin
and lower percentage Of the
total vote. The loss of this dis
trict means little to the Re-
publicans
The special election proves
beyond doubt that the trend
against the Roosevelt New Deal
is nationwide. that il extends
into the cotton states, and that
the border states. including
Oklahoma. probably will go
Republican in November.

T,HIS is altogether a correct
i view IL one believes that the
center OF power in the state Is
the individual citizen, which Is
what has made this country diff
ferent from all others because
It's people have been less re-
stricted by government than
all others.
Willkie apparently would have
the people delegate TO the gov
eminent increasing powers, with
the proviso. Of course, that the
government will use those pow
ers legally and competently.
His justification lies not in
American history and tradition,
but in the fact that we will
be living and functioning and
trading in a world where other
peoples have granted 10 their
governments the power and
the authority to act for them"
But again, Mr.. Willkie Is in
error. Except in Great Britain
and the United States, the gov
ernments have seized increased
powers.

THE the fact that the Ger
i mans thus far have made
a remarkably small showing In
the air against our invasion has
created a wave OF optimism.
On the whole I share in this
optimism.
All the same, I feel that II Is
too soon TO assume that the
luftwaffe Ii dead. Aerial vigi-
lance should not be relaxed.
The suspicion that the Nazis
have managed 10 preserve a
small but effective aerial strlk-
ing force cannot as yet be dis
missed. We know. from events
10 date. that they do not
possess air power capable of
challenging Allied air power, or
they would have used IL TO dis
rupt the preparations for in
vasion. just as we disrupted
theirs three years ago. There
is still the possibility, however,
that they have sufficient
aviation strength to attempt
seriously TO upset our ground
strategy.
The smaller the air forces the
Germans have, the more likely
they are TO plan precisely where
TO sacrifice all that's left OF the
