The enthusiasm in the press of the nation, and locally by words at praise, which followed the nomination of Wendell Willkie for president and Senator Chas. L. McNary for vice president, by the republican conven tion in Philadelphia last Thursday and Friday is in marked contrast to the apathy which followed the G. O. P. convention four years ago. The republican party has a ticket of which the members can well be proud and one which will bring all the republicans who slipped off the reservation during the past eight years back into the fold. The re ported jubilation of democratic lead ers over the nomination is more a whistling to keep up their courage than anything else, for Willkie whipped the New Deal to a standstill a year or so ago and he believes he can do it again. Commenting on the nomination last week a prominent democrat of the valley referred to Willkie as a turncoat It to true he voted for Roosevelt eight years ago, but like thousands upon thousands of demo crats and probably like thousands of republicans, he has seen the error and like them will not repeat it We of Oregon are proud also of the fact that Senator McNary who has represented Oregon in the upper branch of congress for so many years was selected, practically without op position, to be Mr. Willkie’s running mate. They make a strong team and the New Dealers have cause to fear the November1 returns.

And Win ston Churchill, now bead of the British government, also has the lucky “Win” in his name. Although John Gunther in “Inside Europe" says no one ever dreamed of calling Churchill anything but Winston, we think he meant that his surname was not used, for it is our recollection that somewhere we have read that his nickname was “Win." Speaking of auguries, a little over a year ago we read that Hitler’s sooth sayer foretold that his star would be in the ascendancy until September, 1M0. Not because we place any cre dence in the prophecy do we mention it, but for the reason that we are hoping Hitler's faith is such that he will falter and fail in a few months due to lack of self-confidence.

We have seen a govegp- ment in Washington which placed ex pediency ahead of honesty and pa tronage ahead of welfare of the peo- pie. In the third item from this file of other days, we find an article about a new caliber machine gun, practically soundless, with a capacity of eleven thousand shots a minute. This gun may be outdated now so far as we know; at least the dosing paragraph of the story expressed ideas which we have recently been forced to discard: “We can hardly imagine any ruler to ever again going to be ao fatuous as to deliberately pick a quarrel with Uncle Sam. Probably the world will never again produce such a fool as William Hohenzollern." Pondering the above, possibly it to correct after all. Even though the kaiser may have been called a fool. Hitler cannot be so labeled. How ever, Hitler is infinitely worse and his name will be lynomymous with per fidy, treachery and ruthlessness for generations to come.

For five days McNary reiterated he would not be a candidate for vice president; and yielded only when he was drafted. Here to the republican ticket: Will- kie voted for Roosevelt in 1932, sub scribing $190 for his campaign; changed his registration only four years ago. McNary, republican lead er in the senate, suported most of the new deal legislation — AAA, NRA, social security, aetc.; finds the demo cratic administration gradually com ing around to the McNary-Haugen farm bill which McNary succeeded in passing twice and which was ve toed by Coolidge. Finally, the re publican candidate for vice president is thought so much of by Mr. Roose- vert that he is invited to the White House for consultation, and because of his legislative record the demo cratic spellbinders will be unable to attack him. Washington, D. C., July 1—John Nance Garner, vice president since 1833, was one of the first to con gratulate Oregon’s Charley McNary on his nomination for vice president on the Republican ticket. At the opening of the baseball season each year Garner always invited McNary to occupy his box while, from the adjoining box, President Roosevelt threw out the first ball. Most of the republican senators were at the con vention (Senator Holman was at the Things are moving so rapidly in the seaside in Oregon), leaving only dem national capital these days that in- ocratic senators in town, and a dozen of these hurried to McNary's office to congratulate him on the nomination but, of course, did not wish him luck —that would be expecting too much. The United States senate to a sort of club, like all clubs, some members are not like others and are “not talk ing,” but one and all take a personal pride in seeing one of their number accorded a distinguished honor. Washington’s Bone and Schwellenbach lost no time in felicitating McNary, for in him the Pacific northwest and the entire west were recognized. [side news becomes stale over night. On the chance that the story will not break before this to printed, however, it has been tipped to a few adminis tration senators that the White House is prepared to send up a messaMt re questing another seven billion dollars for national defense. Before its re- n4as last week congress appropriated five billion six hundred million, thus if the report is correct, congress will be asked to vote almost fifteen bil- Uon dollars this year for national de fense. After thinking of this all-time high for defense, remember that it all must be paid for from the pockets of the American people. Several high ranking diplomats who have the ear of the president are strongly urging a naval deal with Japan to keep Herr Hitler out of the Pacific. The combined navies of the United States and Japan would more than match anything in Europe and could forestall any grab of Pa cific possessions. Japan has express ed a desire to maintain the status quo in the Far East and to anxious to con tinue friendly relations with the United States, and has made over tures in that direction.

At present eleven little kids are being cared for at the Ontario Game Farm and the task of raising these little fellows to a delicate one indeed Five times daily the antelope are being fed from bottles filled with a specially prepared formula, but be fore the summer to ended they will be weaned and required to hustle for food in a ten acre field at the game farm. The month old pronghorns have as their custodian, Don Devlin, an em ployee of the Oregon State Game Commission, who was one of a party of Oregon and Washington game workers who captured a number of the little kids on the Hart Mountain game refuge in Lake county. Incidentally, the kids must be captured practically at the very moment that they are dropped be cause almogt from birth they are so fleet that it would be unable to catch them even with the use of a horse. When they have grown to maturity, a number of these antelope will be placed on exhibit at the Salem State Fair, the Pacific International Expo sition, and such other places as the commission places wildlife exhibits Thus all Oregonians may become as well acquainted with this interesting, specie of desert wildlife as are the ranchers of Malheur, Lake and Harney counties.
