This secret confab of the inner | group was attended by state chair- men from Pennsylvania, Ohio, In- diana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minne- sota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Okla- homa, Texas, Colorado, Utah, the two Dakotas, and Florida. They dis- | cussed two matters: (1) Wendell Willkie; (2) Plans whereby the state chairmen would assume a greater control over the Sentiment was practically unan- imous that Willkie, by going “all out” for Roosevelt’s aid-Britain measure, had forfeited his right to lead the Republican Party. The basis for this, as expressed by speak- It was entirely within Willkie's rights as an individual to take an- sosition he wanted. But the GOP is a sharply divided party on this issue; therefore, as the titular lead- er, Willkie should have suppressed his personal feelings and pursued a course that would not have widened the party schism. Some of the leaders waxed pretty hot under the collar. Willkie was never too popular with most vet- eran regulars; so in private they talked freely and caustically. After letting off steam, however, they reverted to practical politics ind agreed it would not help the narty to spank Willkie publicly.

GOP successes in recent years have been in state, not national, el- ections, and particularly in the Mid- west. So many state chairmen feel that their increased importance is not recognized by the National Com- «ittee and that it's time to do something about it. However, being practical politic- ians, the boys won't start an in- ternal fight now. Instead it was agreed that each chairman should liscuss the matter with his national "ommitteeman and meet again in ndianapolis next March.
