say? His opening speech re-
vealed there is not much in the
way of a new constructive or
interesting domestic program he
can present and the interna-
tional situation is so unsettled
he can hardly go into that.
Many persons severely crit-
cized his initial effort filled with
ironical humor, but the limita-
ton on other usual avenues OF
campaign modes probably forced
him into that unusual vein. Mr..
Sherwood will probably change
that line and develop new one.
A Republican senator who has
seen Willkie most recently
thinks he Will come out for
Dewey in a statement, possibly
just before election. Certainly
he will not vote for Mr.. Roose-
welt or support him in any way.
