All’ that the p)eople demand of the execu tive is that he shall act, and that Mr. Roosevelt did, whereas Mr. Will kie was not in a pxisition where he could act. Mr. Roosevelt has another decided advantage, which he has not hesi- j tated to seize. After announcing that he would make no piolitical spieeches and take no active part in politics during the campaign, he started on , his tour of inspiection of defense preparations, dedication of public works and parks, and has made ) non-political” speeches at every I stop. Whatever the president of the i United States says^ anywhere, at any time, is news, and has to be put on the press association telegraph wires, whether it has political implications or not. Therefore, Mr. Roosevelt has been “- able to snatch the front-page head lines away from Mr. Willkie by do ing and saying things in his capacity as president, which he might not! have said or done if he had not alsoj been a candidate for re-election. As Washington observers see it, Mr. Roosevelt has made valuable politi cal capital for himself out of the j whole defense program and the war j situation. Course Approved ! Whether or not as some who do I jnot care very much for Mr. Roose-' ! velt are saying, not too loud, he real- I |ly precipitated the'war scare and! j promoted the whole defense program t for personal political reasons, the fact remains that except as to what) the public considers insignificant de tails the voters of both major parties are practically a unit in approving | i the administration’s course. 1 What the Republican counter-1 attack may be, and how effective it | realm of speculation. The Willkie campaign is only just starting, and may prove, are matters still in the the Republican policy seems hardly to be fully formulated. It will be Wendell WUlkie’s personal policy, everybody in Washington political circles believes, as much as the Dem ocratic policy is personal to Mr. Roosevelt, The old-time Republican , party leaders are having very little j to say in the campaign plans, as they' had little or nothing to say about Mr. Willkie’s nomination. , IndepeiMleata Ta Daelie Therein, Mr. Willkie’s actice sup porters contend, lies his strength. Everybody concedes thijt the election will be decided by the great body of several million independent voters, who owe allegiance to neither party and have little use for politicians as a bi^. In the past,.the poUtical or- I ganization of the Republican party has told the candidate what to say and do and when and how to do it This year it is the candidate who is giving orders to the party msmagers. He called a lot of them together at Rushville, Indiana, where he has es tablished his personal headquarters for the campaign, and told tbra to get busy in their home states—and made them like it.
