How About Willkie?
WENDELL WILLKIE is a typical American. He
wa3 born 1n a modest home in a little town in
Indiana of a poor but honorable family. He went
through the school of hard knocks. He fought his
way to the top. He worked and earned his way
through college a midwestern college. He had no
wealthy parents to send him to private schools and to
Harvard. He was not born with a gold spoon in his
mouth. He worked as a harvest hand in the wheat
fields of Oklahoma. He taught school in Kansas. He
was reared among the common people and likes them
best Although he has won fame and success, he has
never gone high hat.
. .
WILLKIE is a man of remarkable intelligence. He
proved that when he was quizzed on the radio
program of "Information Please." He has a trained
legal mind. Even in college he made a high reputa
tion as an orator.
The new dealers plotted to squelch Willkie and
his boom for president. They had Attorney General
Jackson, the best spokesman for the 'New Deal, chal
lenge Willkie to a public debate. Willkie accepted.
Willkie literally made mincemeat of the attorney
general. Jackson, who himself was seeking the
Democratic nomination for president or vice-president,
was absolutely discredited. His political boom
was punctured. Roosevelt had picked Jackson for
his running mate, but had to drop him after that
debate.
TXILLKIE is a great thinker and a keen analyst. He
' wins his debates by sheer logic, backed by facts.
His statements are straightforward, direct to the
point, without camouflage. While he enjoys a de
bate and revels in a good, clean contest, yet he is
more than a great orator, a great lawyer or a great
business man.
He has a profound knowledge of all of the af
fairs of the country economic, politic and social. He
believes in the democratic process, not in a dic
tatorial, one-man government. He has truly said
that in a nation of 130,000,000 people, no man is in
dispensable. flILLKIE is not a politician. The politicians of the
Republican party did everything they could to
prevent his nomination. It was the rank and file of
the people who demanded his nomination and who
forced it through the convention against the opposi
tion of nearly all the old line Republican wheel
horses.
This is the first time in a century when the people
have had an opportunity to select a man to the presi
dency who is not, and never has been, a politician.
He is truly a people's candidate.
TXILLKIE is a man of splendid physique, of excep
" tionaj intelligence, of kindly, straightforward
manner and of charming, appealing personality. He
will appeal to the common citizen because he is one
of .them and he has never
monplace. Nevertheless, he
tains of industry and he can match his wits with the
best legal minds in America. His integrity, energy
and ability are unquestioned. He will restore order to
the conflicting confusion and chaos m Washington.
"THERE is ONE answer to the "Side Glance" query:
"What is a Willkie?" and we trust those who are
sincerely curious in that regard will ponder it care
fully. For the above is NOT from the Republican Na
tional Committee. It is NOT from the Portland Ore-
gonian, Chicago Tribune,
or any other confirmed Republican authority. It is
not from a Republican source at all.
It is a front page editorial from the "Daily Okla
homan & Times." the leading Democratic newspaper
of the state of Oklahoma, which supported President
Roosevelt in 1932 and 1936, but can't conscientiously
do so again, and for the reasons stated above has de
cided to support the Republican candidate.
Added to the above editorial is the paper's final
conclusion :
"We believe Wendell Willkie will be elected, for he will
have the support of tens of thousands of Democrats in Okla
homa, as well as in every other state. The Oklahuman at
Times will support him."
The Truth About the Draft
XE know there are a p eat number of people who
find it difficult to make up their minds regarding
the selective draft
They don't LIKE the idea, and yet if the country
really needs it, they wouldn't stand in the way, they
would be for any genuine NEED at this critical time,
as a patriotic duty.
So they arc earnestly trying to determine the truth
about the proposal.
XELL, as an aid in this direction, here is a sugges-
tion : Why not secure the opinion of the one man
in this country who knows MOST about such things.
That man is General George C. Marshall, the army
chicf-of-staff, and generally regarded as the most
capable chief-of-staff this country has had in a gen
eration. The General was in Portland yesterday, and in
reply to a question declared the adoption of conscrip
tion, the selective draft. must be done ami as
quickly as possible.
For, said he :
"It Is the only democratic method and the only practical
method I know. If I could have had all the men the law
permitted on July 1st. I could have plared them hint where
they were nerdi-d the niot and we could hae h'en much
better organized than w are at the prejent time It doesn t "

do to get your men a year late; you hava to hava them on

In the opinion of this paper, there ia the absolute
truth regarding the selective draft
We appreciate what the rejoinder will be: But
General Marshall is a professional military man and
therefore is prejudiced, of course.
But IS he?
This is a MILITARY question, not a political or
civil one. It concerns what this country should do in
time of war, not in time of peace.
If you can t take General Marshall s aqvice on a
war problem, then whose advice CAN you take !

DOES THE SCAB, C
Contrary to a notion of many
laymen and some old time physi
cians calcium (lime), " whether
taken into the
the system in
hard water, in
the form of
medicine or in
foods that con
tain consider
able calcium,
does not tend
to cause hard
ening of the
arteries nor to
cause stone in
kidney or
bladder, nor to
cause g a 1 1-
stones, nor to cause high blood
pressure, nor to cause cataract.
Actually there is considerable
evidence that some of the dis
eases mentioned, particularly
premature hardening of the ar
teries, may be one result of pro
longed calcium shortage in the
system either from insufficient
intake of calcium (whether in
food, drinking water or medi
cine) or from in ability to ab
sorb, assimilate or metabolize or
utilize enough of the calcium to
satisfy the body's daily require
ments. ' People who labor under the
quaint misapprehension that
food or water containing "too
much calcium" may bring on
any such disease or that one
may avoid the risk of such dis
ease by avoiding hard drinking
water or by drinking only soft
water or distilled water or by
avoiding foods they imagine con
tain "too much lime" ought to
change their reading, their hab
its or maybe their doctors.
For one thing, it is question
able whether the calcium in
drinking water is absorbed or
used by the body at all. Any
way, it is negligible so far as
health is concerned if the
water is satisfactory in taste it
makes no difference whether it
is hard or soft.
Deposits of calcareous mate
rial in the tissues have no such
significance to the pathologist.
The presence in the arterial wall
of more calcium than normal
arteries should have, spells just
one thing to the pathologist

WHILE he may be "played down"
for political reasons, it can be
assumed, of course, that Hopkins wtll
continue closer to the president than
any other Individual in the White
House circles. Indeed he has now
frankly become a White House man.
for although he Is still officially
secretary of commerce, he gives com
paratively little time to the affaire
of hla office. Instead, he remains at
tKe White House, where he now has
his own suite, to pass the president's
time, help with odd Jobs, discuss ma
jor problems, or make himself useful
or agreeable In other ways.
So long ss he remains, atorms will
rage around his head. He la Intensely
distasteful to most of the Democratic
organization leadera, who regard hlra
as an amateur and think the country
Is suspicious of him. He also Infur
iates many of the new dealers, who
think he ia an opportunist, compro
miser and an apostle of weakness.
Under the circumstance, storms are
inevitable.
POSSIBLY the Hopkins problem
win fairly soon be solved. The
story a going the rounds of the new
deal group that b.re long Hopkins
will resign the secretaryship of com
merce, and retire to private life as
keeper of the library of his pspera
which the president hss established
at Hyde Park.
There Is a trace of wlshftilness In
the eacer anticipation with which
Hopkins' loving collesgues say "be
fore long." Yet, u a long-run plan,
the idea doea not seem altogether
Improbable.
SOLUTION of the Hopkins prc
lem will by no means make all
sweetness and light, however. Por
example, another big row Is blowing
up over the personnel of the Demo
cratic national committee, on which
L. W. Robert, Jr.. and Oliver Quayle
still survive from the Parley era as
secretary and treasurer. Both men
are held In the liveliest detestation

by a number of Important orthodox

There seems to be no need
of conscription in Central Point
This neighboring city might be
small in size, but it is large in
patriotism and service to its
country.
It was said of Central Point
in the World war that so many
of its citizens had volunteered
for military service that when
conscription was put into effect
there was no need of drafting
anyone. Today Central Point is
believed to have more men In
the military branches of the
country than any other city of
comparable size.
Eight In Army
In the army at present Cen
tral Point has eight youths.
They are Clyde Lees, Kenneth
Williams, Ross Painter, Harris

In the national guard, now
engaged in maneuvers in Wash

of its young men: Henry Booth,
Junior Kilburn, Lawrence Cass

It is in the navy that Central
Point really goes to town. In

city a population of 897. In 1930
the population was 821 and in
1920 it was 582.
