McNary. The chair man probably has his eye on Hoover, Vandcnburg or Landon for second choice. The chairman makes a great ado about the vote received by Sen. McNary, as favorite son in the May primary more than Gamer and Roose velt combined. On that occa sion the senior senator was a fa vorite son, specially curried for the race, and without opposi tion. That vote is the guiding star of the chairman. The chair man is not steering by the vote his presidential choice got when a New Deal whippersnapper from Klamath all but whipped the Senate whip, and the result was In doubt until the Multno mah vote had been counted. That was the year the senator was diffident, at first, about how ha stood on the supreme court pack plan.

Editorial Correspondence PHILADELPHIA, June 21. The same old army game! With the exception, as we wired, of Mr. Wendell Willkie. Yes, regardless of the outcome thia man baa what it takes. He may not Ret the nomination. All the old guard "wisen heimers" say he hasn't a chance. But win, lose or draw he ia the big hit of the 1940 conven tion, and, after the first day, stands above the rest of the field like Mt. Pitt above Itoxy Anne. lie has his competition beaten to a frazzle and tied up in knots. The man has EVERYTHING, but votes. Whether or not he will get these, that ia enough of them, only the future can decide. But that he is going to get more of them than your correspondent ever helirved fowible is certain. . And WHY. Five words form the only answer, "He has what it takes." CALL it oomph, personality, charm, color, magnetism or what have you, Wendell Willkie HAS it. And that's all. A man just has it or he just hasn't. Willkie has, his competitors HAVEN'T. THE man's aensational personal triumph, however, is likely to be his greatest handicap. For as a result of it, all of his opponents have been scared pink, and here on the day of the first session, are meeting secretly to stop him. And if they hold together they will stop him. It will be the field against Willkie, which ia always fatal at this stage of the game. BUT we repeat, win, lose or draw, thia light and power "magnate," who on every political dope sheet had no more chance to get the nomination than a saw-horse of winning the Santa Anita handicap, is WAY out in front. We still can't believe a high-salaried light and power presi dent, with offices on Wall Street, is really going to head the ticket of the Uepublican party in this campaign, or any other, but we freely grant that if he DOES, it will be no more sensational than what has already taken place. For the "Gentleman from Indiana" has already smashed every precedent and prediction in the professional politicians' form book, he has not only carried the business and profes sional districts in this sleepy old metropolis, but he has the rank and file with him as well, wherever he goes the people just naturally follow him about, and at every opportunity take off their hats and cheer and shout. And that sort of thing can't be faked or bought, not the spontaneous sort of thing that is bo apparent. For the third time we declare a man either has that quality of leadership and ability to arouse the rank and file or he hasn't, and Mr. Willkie HAS, that is all there is to it at this day and date. OTHERWISE it's the same old army game, the same old buttons, the same old bunting, the same old slogans, the same old, and young, delegates. This 0. O. P. convention is as much like the last one and the one before that as this year's circus is like last. More so, in fact. For circuses do try to keep up with the times and introduce a few new stunts each year. Party conven tions don't, they stick to the pattern that hasn't been essen tially changed since the battle of until we tne people nave enough sense to adopt a national party primary, and decide for ourselves the candidate we want. And if that were the procedure this year there would be no doubt of the result, Bay what smiling, Doyisn, almost bashful utility magnate has captured the imagination mid interest and enthusiasm of the people as no Republican has since Theodore Roosevelt. THE writer is not basing that belief upon hia own personal predilections, hut upon what he has seen and heard in a two weeks' trip from the Pacific Coast to the Atlantic. Willkie a grass root rolitical cal taboos and traditions, but as we see it that is the very reason the man is so popular, o appealing, the rank and file are tired of political traditions and taboos, and a vote for Willkie expresses that weariness. It also is me one man nest titled to solve the particular problems with which this country is faced, No. 1, national defense, and No. 2, restoring business confidence so ten or twelve million men can go back to work. . AND while on this subject don't forget Mrs. Willkie who sat in the box at the Academy of Music last night America's famous "La Scala" with her son Philip (a lad of about 15 who incidentally looked seared to death) while her husband gave a brief but excellent speech. She has a way with her also, charm, grace and poise, extremely pleasing to look at. Hut here is the "knockout" as far as your correspondent is concerned. Amid all that hullabaloo the famous Philadelphia Symphony orrehestra incidentally by Robert Wcede, robust Metropolitan baritone, some publicity-seeking exhibitionist rushed to Willkie and offered up his "darling daughter," aged about and shook the little gal a hand cordially, but still smiling he REFUSED TO KISS! No doubt he lost pappy's vote, but he made a thousand others. No, if he ia elected, this man's man isn't going t'o indulge in any t,i the old time serving politicians' buncombe or guff, he'a a straight shooter and he is going to shoot STRAIGHT! . . . THE G. O. P. started in for the colored vote earlier than usual.

VACINATION In most instances, thank for tune, herpes la merely an an noyance, whether you call It "cold sore," "fever blister" or "herpes s 1 m plex," an erup tion of a little group of ves icles or blis ters on sn irri tated, swollen, edematous base. Favorite site, tho dip or the face near the month, but the outbreak may occur on other parts of the body as well. The vesicles, If not broken or infected, dry up and a brown ish crust drops off in the course of ten days or two weeks. Sometimes an individual sub ject to recurring herpes has an outbreak on the cheek close to the eye, and even the eyelid or. worse, on the cornea or eyeball surface. When this occurs hercr simplex becomes a serious and painful Illness, for it is likelv to cause considerable damage to refraction by leaving Irregu larities in the shape of the cor nea or scar such as follows or dinary corneal ulcer. Herpes of any type In any situation seems to have a char acteristic tendency to recur. Herpes zoster, zona, or shin gles, as it is more commonly known, is a group of vesicles distributed along the course of one or more sensory nerves, perhaps along the forehead, cheek or chin, though shingles often occurs on the thigh or leg or arm or one side of the trunk. It becomes more and more evident that herpes In any form is a virus disease, akin to chick enpox, smallpox and, in the be lief of some physicians, infan tile paralysis, influenza and en cephalitis. In a report on the treatment of recurring herpes of the cornea accompanied by fever, Dr. P. L. Davis even in cludes in the list of virus dis eases the common cold, what ever that may mean. To the best of my knowledge you call it "the common cold" when you're stuck for a definite diag nosis: if it proves to be Infan tile paralysis, or meningitis, or scarlet fever, or smallpox, or Influenza, well, no one will stop then to think what a bad guess you made about it not even the victims you may infect with your' alleged "common cold" I THE CAPITAL PARADE By JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT KINTNEP Rlatd by th North American Newspaper Alliance. Inc. Philadelphia. June 25. Out wardly the Republican conven tion is still all milling, sweating confusion. Inwardly, however on this second day of the con vention's labors, you begin to find a strange, pervasive unrea ality. In Europe, so today's head lines told the rare delegates who troubled to read them. Winston Churchill was despair ingly denouncing the French for handing their fleet over to Germany. But in Philadelphia there were a number of eminent Republicans who appeared to believe their party could march to victory wrapped in the tat tered garments of Neville Cham berlain, Sir John Simon and M. Gorges Bonnet. Th. signs of this development were actually rather numerous In the first place, moat of the energy of the other candidates as now devoted to trying to stop Wendell Willkie. whcee mentality and pollciea are certainly not of the Chamberlain type. Wlllkte has speclflcslly and wisely stated to all the horde of delegate who call on him that he thinks it the duty or a chief execu tive to restrain the people from any warlix policy until th. obvioue neeoa of national defense unite the entire country In favor of action Yet the cohorts of Senator Robert A. Taft. th atwngeat of Willkle s opponents, hsve concentrated today upon what they call "the peace Issue " They not only have attacked Willkle as a war monger; probably without authorisation from Taft. they hav gone Infinitely further In fact, they hav preached th kind of "peac at any price, w. must be reaJtata, w can make a buslneaa deal with thta man Hitler" divtrln one heard from the llpe of the very l"r,l luh and PrerK-h leader who are responsible tor th present world tragedy Brady. M. D. FOR HERPES while you keep about and take little or no care to protect peo ple from whatever you may have. One man had a herpetic ulcer of the cornea which had per sisted six weeks, the herpes having occurred first on the lip, then two months later on the eye. Again and again he suffered periodic recurrences, with repeated involvement of the eye. Tuberculin tests, al lergy tests, sinus operations and tonsil operation and various other things were done, to no avail. Finally he was vacci nated with fresh vaccine virus, every ten days for four succes sive times. The first, third and fourth vaccinations were takes. Fifteen days after the initial vaccination the herpes on lip and chin were almost well. For the first time the patient found that the eye trouble did not follow the outbreak of herpes on the lip and chin. That was nearly four years ago. The patient has had no further herpes.

Dill Co.) Cd. Notet reraons wishing to communicate with Dr. Brady should tend letter direct to Or William Brady, M D. IKS CI Camlno. Beverly Hills, Calif. ' Report tonight ar that thia ap peasement talk, to give It It harsh but accurate name, la beginning to I have considerable effect. On top of the spread of talk of thia sort cam the behsvlor of the platform committee. Alf M. Landon had wisely proposed and the drafting sub-committee hsd approved a per fectly lnnocuoua and meaningless foreign policy plank which left Re publican foreign policy to be shaped by th party'a candidate. When th Landon plank waa presented to the full platform committee, extreme isolationists act up an outcry. C. Wayland Brooks, of Illinois, and Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts, were added to th drafting sub committee, to which the plsnk waa returned. After a titanic atrugitle. Landon managed to prevent the writing of a plank which would have committed th Republican forever to th kind of extreme Isolationism which began to fade to rapidly In the country after the Invasion of Hollsnd. But th foreign policy plank waa sufficiently gingered up with Isolationist verbiage to make It remi niscent of th forgotten, pre-war dsys when Senator WUUam I. Borah waa still proclaiming he had better Infor mation than the state department. Finally, there waa th speech of House Leader Joseph W. Martin In the morning, accusing th president of heading a "war party." and the speech of former President Herbert Hoover In the evening. Otherwise sdmtrabl. th Hoover speech derived an Inevitable Chamberlanlsh flavor from lu minimisation of the present danger of th situation of th United States. If the tendenclea revealed by these signs come to mslurlty In the can didate the Republtcane choose and the campaign they wage, the Issue win be whether or not appeasement will work, rhe delegatea and party leader not too Immersed In the r-.urly burly of the convention to think of the tutur sr. dlssxreeaoly certain that such an Issue will spell dlssster. Thev ar grimly warning their fellows that It will be easy for the Democrats to tell the country. "The Republicans wsnt appeasement: look at Europe enslaved and In rulua. and see how appeasement works. " Psychologically of course, the ex plsnstlon of th. new sppesarment talk Is fslrly simple. Most Repub lican leaders hsve not seen how the worsening of the world sltustlon could do anything but help th president. By a rather natural proc. ess, therefore, they hav managed to convince Utenvselves that the world J situation a threat to thia country baa been greatly evssreerared. ! Thia feeling, however, la confined I to tb leaders. Ivea th leaders I frankly admit that th. origin of i Wendell Willkie' boom was In th fUn( of th Republican rank and : fll that her waa a man who could I met th president on th paramount laau of th world situation without tmag weak, blind or lm potently snarling, if th rank and fll 1 not over-persuaded by th worried lead en, th. tendenclea now at work In th convention will end by having llttl effect. AT THE National Capitol WITH John W. Kelly CONTINUED FROM PAOB ONE spect for the views of others is supposed to follow, hence elim ination of intolerance. The train ing will instill respect tor and knowledge of the American ideals. At bottom, this is Mr. Roosevelt's notion in proposing compulsory training. e . . TTHE young people Mr. Roose- velt wishes to discipline have already registered their objection. National Youth Con gress secretary, who has been fed and sheltered at the White House, calls the training "twad dle," and American Student Union secretary regards it as a step toward war. John L. Lewis, C.I.O. boss, denounced it at the meeting of the Repub lican platform committee: re ceived a big hand for desig nating it as the "fantastic sug gestion from a mind in full in tellectual retreat." It will be weeks before the plan is presented to the public in detail, and until then criti cism is shooting in the dark. ... IVHAT is quite apparent is " that American youth is to receive the direct attention of the federal government in a manner never before known in the history of this country. They will be taught to realize that they are a part of the gov ernment: millions drawn for compulsory service of some de scription; a million others taught aviation, mechanics and skill with the hands. Uncle Sam at last will become the employer of a great mass of young peo ple who have been unable to find employment since they graduated several years ago. c QREGON is the only state which does not elect alter nates to a national convention. To make up for this, each dele gate elected under the primary law is permitted to name his own alternate. It would have to happen to Hoover. A special session of the Republican convention was held . to hear the former presi dent (a slight boom is being engineered for him), and when Hoover was delivering his mag num opus he had to compete with the Mummers' parade, the one big civic event of Phila delphia. Mummers held their parade on New Year's day, but repeated, it for the delegates and visitors. ... WHEN Judge Ekwall was selected to place ths name of Senator Charles L. McNary in nomination as Oregon's choice, the former representa tive of the third congressional district whipped his "a man who" together in 30 minutes and it was not even submitted to the senator before delivery. A well-known Oregon member of the American Legion was brought to Philly as a member of the Taft staff, but the Le gion members were really pull ing for McNider, an early na tional commander. The so called "king makers" of the Legion are working for Mc Nider. Dozens of telegrams have been received by Oregon's dele gates, urging them to support Willkie. The messages came from Portland people who a few weeks ago climbed upon the Dewey bandwagon. With hundreds of thousands of dol lars spent in behalf of the many aspirants, McNary's candidacy has not cost a single dollar. a-' r tw CAPTOR OF A NAZI FREICHTE R Here H France's 4.1M-ton submarine, the world's lvrtct su'jrnrratblr. reportedly believed ta hive captured a German merchant ship In the Atlantic. , The tax-ranting "Surrouf" haa a cruising radius f I2.0 miles, hat reached speeds nf 11 knots, and carries' her a seiplaae.

It will make a story worth reading when it can final ly be told. UfHEN Hitler attacks the Brit- ish in their own island, Mussolini will- attack at the same time in the Mediterranean. Britain will then need all the naval strength she can lay hands on. That is why the fate of the French fleet holds the interest of the world. rR. MAYNARD C. RUEGER, Socialist party candidate for vice-president, says at Portland: "Free trade with South Amer ican countries could be a potent weapon against Hitler. High U. S. tariffs have prejudiced South Aemirac against this country." True enough, no doubt. But free trade with predominantly agricultural South America would prejudice American far mers against any administra tion that tried it. CTILL, if we have to live to ourselves in the Westrn Hemisphere while the rest of the world ts readjusting itself, we'll find some way for West ern Hemisphere countries to trade with each other. Trade, unfortunately, can't move ALL ONE WAY. THIRTY - THREE - YEAR-OLD Governor Stassen of Minne sota, keynoting for the Repub lican convention, calls the New Deal a failure. Those are hard words, but after seven years we have boost ed our national debt to a dizzy ceiling, still have nearly as many unemployed as In 1933 and have been brought to the edge of a war we have no busi ness to be in and have no ade quate weapons to fight. That isn't a record of success. tlERE is something for the Republicans at Philadelphia to remember: Unless they name a candidate who has something better to offer than mere criticism of what has been done and write a platform In which people can believe and for whose principles millions of ordinary citizens will be willing to make sacrifices, they might as well quit now and save hotel bills. Old-fashioned straddle politics will get the Republicans no where this year. T"HE Republicans can win In 1940 only by convincing the American people that they can DO THE JOB BETTER.

Editorial Comment Most Beautiful Spot. In her radio program a few days ago Eleanor Roosevelt was asked to name the most beau tiful spots she had visited. The widely traveled first lady of the land named Crater lake, Oregon, first among them all. We in Oregon had long sus pected something ot the sort," and in this time, when summer travel for citizens of the United States is pretty well confined to the United States of America, we would be justified in offer ing a money-back guarantee to new visitors to that national park of Oregon. Oregon's Crater lake is unique. Now "The Switzerland , of America" Is found in per- ' haps a dozen widely scattered places. The New York Times vacation supplement carries an advertisement of one of them in the White mountains of New Hampshire. Well, it has forest clad mountains about like our Coast range, and lakes, but there Is a "Swizerland of Amer ica" in the smaller mountains of California, which goes every body else one better, as Cali fornia always does, by having a native-born yodeler on tap. Give us. by preference, the native name for the native place. Mount Rainier national park, Mount. Hood, Glacier park, Yosemite dont' need foreign cognomens. And when you have seen all the mountain peaks, and all the glaciers that a grand summer vacation in the west will permit, there is one spot that will stand in your memory for sheer, amazing beauty.
