The republican clubs of the
state are holding their annual con
vention in Salem. Outside of club
chores, such as electing officers,
etc., the chief assignment must be'
setting the stage for 1944. That
means, .the presidential election,
primarily, and a senator and four
congressmen jecon darily. The
presidency is what has all the
politicians guessing now.
Drew Pearson, in his S unday
night broadcast, renewed his flat
prediction that r Mr. , Roosevelt
would not be a candidate to suc
ceed himself. It seems to me that
Pearson is sticking his neck out
spite Pearson and prove he is the
chronic liar Roosevelt claims he
is, the president may Just go ahead
and, run -as - everyone else in
Washington, republican r demo
crat expects him to. .
' Eliot Janeway, a Fortune maga
zine writer, is. visiting Oregon on
one of the political round-ups that
magazine writers make in months
before the party conventions. He
'had a piece in the current Fortune
after his survey of the midwest.
While the polls show that Roose
velt has a big lead, Janeway found
widespread revolt among mid
western . farmers: -. "The region
closest to articulate revolt against
Roosevelt' is the middle west"
.", But """inere, Janeway says, 1 the
"upper crust is swinging to him as
religiously as the same element is
on the Atlantic seaboard" what
he calls the Churchill vote.' And
Janeway accuses the republican
high command with being willing
to make a "sacrifice hit" in 1944
In order to score in 1948:
'' "The No. 1 factor working . in
Roosevelt's favor is the., republi
can high command. Many of its
influential members are not play
ing to win, in 1944. One motive is
that they too have been influenced
by the ubiquitous 'you can't beat
Roosevelt with the war on, and by
the impressive list of their Roose
velt hating friends in each state
who are announcing that they in
tend to .vote for. the Commander-
' in-Chief, JButthe chief motive
behind, this attitwOeUa the wide
spread feeling among republican
strategists that it would be poor
politics to win in 1944."
It has been told on Tom Dew
ey that his advisers were en
couraging him to dodge- 1944
and hold for 1948. And Jane
way imputes to some republi
can strategists the desire to give
Willkie the 1944 nomination

Premier Marshal Pietro Badoglio

take up arms against their former
German allies in active coopera
tion with the United Nations; in a
proclamation published here to
day. The premier's appeal, in effect
a declaration of hostilities, was
the first - official indication from
any source that the Italians might
be accepted as full-fledged allies
of America - and Britain in the
campaign to drive the . Germans
from Italy. -'
Badoglio declared that "all talk

irrelevant to the changed condi

have intervened decisively against
Germany following on the ag
gressive attitude of the Germans."
