WENDELL WILLKIE IS DEAD By Charles 3NDE1.L WILLKIE m Ic throated non-conforihi.st litical stage where, though cast in a minor role, he stole the show. He has been taken at a time when his counsels, stir ring admonitions to preserve true American democracy and statesmanship, were vitally needed. Although defeated for the presidency, he maintained a powerful influence for good in American politics. His sincerity and honesty were universally respected, even though his philosophies of gov ernment were not accepted by all. "1 want to meet the champ," he once told reporters. He met the champ and lost a close decision. Yet he received more popular votes than were ever before given any repub lican candidate for the presidency. He became intensely popular and beloved because he was so typically American. Wendell Willkie had hopes of being one of the central figures in the current presidential race. He sought the nomination at the primary election. But, as a true sports man, he withdrew when he learned that his candidacy would only result in complications. He wanted issues clearly and sharply drawn. He wanted frank and open discussion of vital problems. Disappointed in his personal ambitions, he withdrew to a position where he might fling impartial criticism at both major parties as he continued to fight for clarity and honesty in the presidential race. Only four years have elapsed since Wendell Willkie and Oregon's beloved Senator Charles L. McNary campaigned for the office of president and vice-president, yet both have been called by death, Willkie at the age of 52, McNary at the ago of G). It is, of course, impossible lo know how election to office might have affected the lives of the two men, but deaths of both have occurred within the period for which they would have been elected had they been successful in the last cam paign. Thus additional emphasis is placed upon the issue of youth versus age in the present political situation. Crusading for "unity" and to "save democracy," Wen dell Willkie's rise to national and international prominence wtis one of the most sensational events of American his tory. Within a few short weeks he became the "people's choice." A republican Old Guard tried frantically to halt his drive, but the voices of millions of Americans prevailed and Willkie won the nomination. His campaign was the most unorthodox on record. His hoarse voice and Hoosier accent cried out fearlessly against what he considered evils! in administrative practice. Defeated for office he turned to a position of political watchdog. He became spokesman for a great following of Americana in pleading for unity in international affairs and for preservation of free enterprise and domestic readjust ments in keeping with constitutional forms. His criticisms fell upon his' own adopted party as well as upon the ad-! ministration. ' Many who had been his followers tu rued 'from his latter day philosophies, but no one could deny his lion-1 esty, his sincerity nor his courage. J Willkie could not conform his actions to professional poli- lies. From his German ancestors, who fled their native' land when the democratic revolutions which they supported! failed, he inherited the spirit of lighting rr democratic! principles. His steadfastness was demonstrated in his declaration, when asked why he had changed his party j registration from democrat to republican, "I haven't left I the Democratic parly; the Democratic party left me." The nation has suffered a great Ss in tiie death of Won-! oell Willkie. He was the typo of man we need today men j who are sincere and courageous in Iheir political beliefs:! men who can capture public fancy, not by trickery or fancy words, but by sheer vitality and true American spirit. Woii-j dell Willkie was such a man. j Hungary as Ibis is written. EVER since El Alamein and Stal ingrad, the Germans have been falling back TOWARD GERMANY. Slowly, righting al every step, but FALLING BACK. All along, their story has been that when I hey got back within the walls of their own fortress. NOBODY could EVER dislodge them. They'd fighl until we'd be compelled by war weariness lo give them the kind of peace they'd be willing lo accept. Well, they're hack within Iheir fortress on the west, and already, at Aachen and al Met., ils walls arc crumbling. Their medieval dream of FOR. TRESS SECURITY is beginning to fade.
