•,- i • : ^Iharsday, B»pt«mb«r 26, MMO ' REPUBLICAN NOMINEE STAYS ON JOB y-j t;,',. SENATOR CHARLES L. McNARY Candidate for Vice President One day, twenty-three years ago, the librarian in Rushviile, Indiana, was talking to her young assistant about a tousel-haired young lawyer. "Marry that young man," advised Miss Mary Sleeth, the librarian. "He's going places." The girl in the case had already made up her mind to do that. Her name was Miss Edith Wilk. The young lawyer was Wendell L. Willkie. From the very start Miss Wilk's young man went places vigorously. Even though a blizzard, subzero weather and snow-clogged roads delayed the groom and the wedding, Wendell Willkie got there just the same--frozen bridal bouquet and all. It was January 14, 1918. Shortly afterward Wendell Willkie, already in the Army, left for France. "Wendell Willkie has never let me down and that's the best recommendation I can give him," she says simply. After Wendell Willkie had received the Republican nomination, a delegate remarked: "you've got the best man in the field." "I have not," Mrs. Willkie countered, pleasantly, but firmly. "I have the best man in the world." What has the great honor accorded ; her husband meant to this delightful, diminutive (she's only five feet, two, and weighs only about 110 pounds) Indiana woman? Has it frightened her? Inspired her? Probably both. If her husband wants and hopes to be President, it's pretty breathtaking, of course, but she is equal to the challenge. "I believe it's a woman's job to adjust herself to her hus- ' band's way of living and help him do ^what he wants," is her philosophy of marriage. -fmmtfMil ITm FIma .. M18. WENDELL WILLKIE J&rs. Willkie'a blue eyes are friendly, her manner warm and sincere. Her reserve has a practical hatiw - she is safeguarding her husband's interests. So she speaks carefully, choosing .her words-thoughtfully has never made a speech in her life and hopes she won't have to. Her world revolves around her husband, her son, Philip, now 20 years old, and her home, a cheerful New York City apartment where the family has lived tor eleven years. Bookcases fill every available space in the apartment. Her husband's pat name fcr liar is "Billy." Some call Wendell Willkie "Win'* --a happy omen for another home address for Mrs. Wendell Willkie, at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D. C. The Taxpayer's Question DtF£fl3£ --Eubank.

He declared he could see no good reason why Congress should not adjourn "except for the no doubt laudable purpose of making speeches." This move was fought and blocked by House Republican Leader Joseph W. Martin, Jr., and Senate Leader Charles L. McNary, now the Republican nominee for Vice-President. With other Republicans in Congress they believed it was the duty of Congress to be on the job in such critical times. To the far-sighted statesmanship of these two Republican leaders now can go much of the credit for the legislation setting in motion the long Mr. and Mrs. Louis Abendroth of Elgin spent Sunday with Mrs. Jennie Bacon.

Provides Jobs In fhs five years that WPA has 'been in existence, it hay given jobs to more than 7,500,000 persons. The government has spent around ft $8,000,000, mMtly 1m ai|M> toff* vide these joba. for tanks, guns, airplanes which Mr. Roosevelt now boasts are "on order." In addition Congress enacted the Conscription Act and the bill authorizing the President to mobilize the National Guard. It also passed the Alien Registration law and a bill taxing excess profits and liberalizing certain laws necessary for the expan sion of industry. Martin and McNary remain opposed to the adjournment of Congress because they believe the legislators, under our system of representative, republican government, should stay on the job when there is business to be done. They do not believe in "one man government" here any more than they approve of it in Europe. For instance, the two Republican leaders contend that Congress should complete passage by the Senate of legislation amending the National Labor Relations Act, already adopted by the House. This, they assert, would be a real contribution to economic recovery at home. The New Dealers, however, want to end the Congressional session in order to carry on their political campaigns. Their attitude is that recovery and national defense can wait until next year--and that is what they have been saying for seven years. 'NO WAR' IS WILLKIE PLEDGE TO NATION Addressing an audience of his fel low townsmen at Rushviile, Indiana, Wendell Willkie made the following unequivocal declaration: "I shall never lead thf United States into any European war. "I believe completely that the United States should help Great Britain short of war, but when I say short of war, I mean SHORT OF WAR." Commenting on the charge of Henry A. Wallace that the Republican Party is "the party of appeasement," Mr. Willkie said: "If appeasement means working out compromises with dictators; if Mr. Wallace intended to apply that to the Republican Party, he was 100 percent wrong, because if I am elected President of the United States there will be no appeasement with any dictator. "But if Wallace meant to say the Republican Party is the party of peace, then he spoke the truth, because 1 shall never lead the United 8tates into any European war." WENDELL WILLKIE £9* "The time has now come to re assert the principles of a limited federal government, because if this The Federal Octopus.' trend is not stopped the people will lose the powers that the Constitution gave them. They will lose them to an all-powerful central government." Walkington returned home Friday from the Woodstock hospital after an appendicitis operation. Mr. and Mrs. F.
