President Roosevelt signed into
law yesterday a $1,157,711,357
bill to finance relief for at least
eight months beginning July 1.
The measure provided a basic
$975,000,000 fund for the full
12 months of the fiscal year but
contained a provision which
would permit the president and
the WPA to use it over an
eight-months period if they be
lieved it necessary.
Congress earmarked $25,000.
000 of the total for national de
fense projects.
The bill contains new restric
tions against aliens on relief
rolls and retains the recent pro
vision that at the end of 18
months, persons on relief must
be dropped from the rolls.

For Vice Presidency
In First Delegate Poll
Convention Hall, Philadelphia, June 28. (JP The Republi
can national convention adjourned its live-day session at
p. m. (EST) today. The national ticket completed, the conven
tion moved rapidly through closing formalities.
By W. B. Ragsdale
Convention Hall, Philadelphia,
June 28. IIP) A 1940 ticket of
Wendell Willkie and Charles L.
McNary was named today by a
tumultuous Republican national
convention.
A convention that had stam
peded to nominate Willkie for
the presidency in the early morn
ing hours, chose McNary for his
running mate on the first ballot
of Its final session.
The Oregon Senator, who is
Republican leader of the senate
received 890 votes to 108 for
Rep. Dewey Short of Missouri
and two for Senator Styles
Bridges of New Hampshire.
Made Unanimous
In a brief speech which
brought delegates to their feet
cheering, Short said this was the
time to bury "personal ambl
tions and work for a
united1
party in the campaign to cap
ture the White House. On
Short's motion, McNary's nomi
nation was made unanimous.
In Washington, McNary an
nounced his acceptance of the
nomination, although previously
he had expressed reluctance to
do so.
Shortly before they met, Will
kie had outlined to reporters
what he regarded as the out
standing issues of the campaign.
He listed them as "national
unity, building an adequate na
tional defense and rehabilitation
of the national economy."

Plans Hard Campaign
Willkie said at a press con
ference that his victory was a
47-day "expression of the peo
ple" and that he would make a
very aggressive and widespread
campaign.
He also expressed the view
congress should stay in session
because of "the difficult inter

Willkie said he 'intended to

Miracle of Politics Seen
By Mail Tribune Editor in
G.O.P. Choice of Willkie
By R- W. RUHL
Convention Hall, Philadelphia, June 28. (Spl. Pardon a
few moments while ye editor p"ts on a spasm! Here is a dream
come true, a miracle performed! The dream is personal, the
miracle belongs to the people all over the country who told
the delegates at this convention what to do, or else.
Yes, that's the word for it, a miracle. It never happened
in politics before, It may never happen again, but it did happen
this time. They will say it was money, they will say it was big
business, they will say it was high-powered organization and
salesmanship, everything but what It really was, an overwhelm
ing public demand from all comers of the country that
wouldn't be denied.
And it was expressed through that roaring gallery every
lime the name of Wendell Willkie was mentioned. Had the
bosses had their way, had even the influential Republicans had
Iheir way, had the rival candidates had their way, the "Gen
leman from Indiana" would not be the Republican nominee
today. But they could do nothing, hard as they tried, against
.hat tidal wave of popular feeling that surged, hour after hour,
gainst them.
It was probably the greatest victory of popular non-partisan
opinion over party organization in the political history of this
generation, and as the Oregon delegation's final surrender
lemonstrated, the Willkie supporters of southern Oregon
played a vital part in it. We declared only a miracle could
nominate Willkie a miracle did!
We know, because we were there!
P. S.i Doctor Safe Needle admits he was wrong yesterday,
but he's right today. He says It's Willkie and McNary three
long cheers for Indiana and Ore re gon!

"I was never so surprised in my

was up for the vice presidency."
A little out of breath, Mrs.
Charles L. McNary thus made
her first comment after being
advised that her husband had
been chosen by the republicans
as their candidate for the vice
presidency of the United States.
"The last I knew after list
ening to reports on the conven
tion yesterday was that he did
not win the presidential nom
ination," the wife of Oregon's
"Charlie", explained.
Mrs. McNary said she "went
down town shopping" early this
morning.
-'The first thing I heard about
it was someone told me Charlie
had been nominated for the vice
presidency," she added. 'Then I
rushed right home!"
'I didn't think he would ac
cept the vice presidential nom
ination," she added. "He agreed
to run for the presidential nom
ination only because the party
wanted him to.
'He is awfully tired, and
would much rather come home
