A WINNING TICKET NAMED
BY G. O. fr.
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.

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.

have found two men more sharply
contrasted than their 1940 nominees.
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

On the chance that the story will not

it has been tipped to a few adminis

is prepared to send up a messaMt re

for national defense. Before its re-

if the report is correct, congress will
be asked to vote almost fifteen bil-

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

with Japan to keep Herr Hitler out of
the Pacific. The combined navies of
the United States and Japan would
