Principal argument being pressed for McNutt is his magnanimous withdrawal in Wallace’s favor at the Chicago convention. This sports- manship made a big hit with Roo- sevelt, who called McNutt up at 2 am, and thanked him for being “a gallant and loyal soldier.” (Copyright, 1940, by United Fea- ture Syndicate, Inc.)
