Newspaper Page Text! Willkie Promises i To Talk Straight CHICAGO, Sept. 13. OP) ; Wendell L. Willkie told a crowd of. welcomers in the Union station J upon his arrival today that in the campaign he was beginning "I am going to give you the truth in plain Indiana language so that no one can misunderstand. J The republican presidential r nominee, standing on a balcony j) ot the station, spoke impromptu i at the request of many from the throng which had gathered to J greet him as he reached Chicago to give four addresses to industrial J and negro groups. s "My speeches," he declared, "will be political and I will name e them as such. I will never dodge or hedge. I "This is a crusade and I call to you in the name of the democratic way of life in America 2 "Even though I face a ruthless gang of political corruptionists 5 Boss Hague, Kelly-Nash and Boss Flynn I don't believe that cor. ruption can sway the vote of the a great cities, he said. "And I don't believe that an en- 5 trenched bureaucracy with bil e lions of dollars to spend can in- fluence an election." " His face lighted by flares from a torchlight procession, Willkie said that he was starting out to discuss "some of the most momen- tous questions which ever faced Z mankind" and that he went for- ward '"unafraid." J "I still have faith," he shouted, "that there are millions over the nation whom Jio political machine " can corrupt and no federal govern- ment can buy."
