But the great mass of | people do not know this, the ad- visers point out, and won’'t know it unless Willkie asserts his leader- ship and tells them so publicly. Willkie intimates have told | him that the sole basis of his; strength is popular support; that the machine politicos always have been against him, and that he can! never make his influence felt except by going over their heads as he| did in winning the 1940 nomination. These advisers are strongly urg-| ing Willkie to disregard the poli-| ticos and go direct to the pcople.; They hold that Willkie can't lose if he will do that even if Dewey, through control of the convention machinery, does capture the gub-! ernatorial nomination. Willkie's stature and with the great mass these friends contend, stronger than ever | influence of voters, will be'! PARTY TY This militant counsel is being countered strongly by old-line GOP chiefs on two grounds. One, that if he opens fire on Dewey, there is grave danger of disrupting “party unity”. The other is that Willkie would play squarely into the nands of the New Dealers. These arguments are carrying much weight with Willkie = be- cause of his deep conviction that in these disturbed days it is vital for democracy to maintain the two party system. Willkie is much con- eerned about preserving this U. S.| system. He sincerely believes that its continuance is endangered, and he harbors very definite suspicions | regarding Franklin Roosevelt. | However, at the same lunc.! Willkie is equally disturbed* about | the powerful isolationist forces! within the Republican party He‘ considers them just as menacing to | the welfare of the nation as the Democrats he suspects of having designs on the two party system.

The announce- ment stated that Harding regretted the cancellation of the trip but saw I no possibility of leaving Washington under the prevailing conditions of ‘public business. Secretary Albert B. Fall, of the Interior Department, stated that abandonment of the trip to Alaska by President Harding would not interfere in his plans to make the trip to the Territory except to remove cause for delay in attempting to synchronize the trips. Secretary Fall believed he could leave for the Pacific Coast on the way to Alaska within two weeks.
