dell L. Willkie told an audience
of republican women tonight that
the new deal is pushing tbe nation
-"ever closer and closer to war,
and added:
"The closer Mr. Roosevelt gets
us to war, the more people say
we ought not to change horses, in
the middle of the- stream. How
did we get there? The man who
got us in is not the right one to
get us out." ,f
Addressing a meeting of the
National Federation of Women's
Republican clubs, the republican
presidential nominee asserted that
the new deal now "is governing
by force and by fear."
"I win clean out the cynics and
unbelievers, the nuts and the
bunk-artists,", he said. "My ad
ministration will be composed of
men who believe in the American
people."
Wlllkie's argument about
"changing horsee" summarised
talks which he made While cam
paigning through Michigan during

that the chance from the Cham
