going-to take this record apart piece by piece I
and try to prove that it is one of inefficiency,
needless bureaucracy, waste and extruvagance.
That’s where the only big fight can come in the
light of present circumstances: on means, not on
the ends to which those means lead; on methods, (
not the targets at which those methods aim.
Of course, Willkie could change his tactics,
do an about-face on all those writings and
speeches he made in his whirlwind rise to the
pest of G. O P. flag-bearer. But nobody thinks
he will. The Republican platform was made to
order in its elasticity and he' can carry on the
Willkie way without ever outraging the party’s
declarations of policy.
Boiled down, this campaign, in the minds of
most convention observers, is going to he a bat- /
tie of personalities Willki_against Roosevelt.
Roosevelt is the new deal and the new deal is
Roosevelt and in the minds of. the people, say
the wiseacres, they cannot be differentiated.
If this is so. Roosevelt is going-to have a dis-
2tmt dsaavantage - but don’t get me wrong, it
has nothing to do with his personality, it is sim-
ply that because of the program he and congress
have set in motion- the national program it will
be impossible for him to teke the field. There is
too much work to be done in Washington, too
- much chance of criticism if he turns his back on
the capital to wage a political campaign.
But more of that phase < f it later. If you can
heliev the folks in the throes-of conventionitis,
.it’s a duel of methods and personalities and the
millions of voters will do their thumbs-up or
thumbs-down on that basis in November.
