T0BOSS CAMPAIGN
Willkie Wanted to Meet the ‘Champ’ and He Draws a
‘Full House’ Run by New D Terms; Wallace Mys

Times Special Writer
CHICAGO, Jul, 20.—Wendell L. Willkie demanded to meet “the champ?” s» that the New Deal might be made
the issue, so that the line migl
1t be drawn straight and clear.
The Democratic Convention gave him his wish in full
measure, to overflowing.
Not only did he draw “the champ,” but he drew to a
full house, for there is no more staunch New Dealer than the running mate upon whom President Roosevelt insisted —Secretary Henry Wallace—and the New Deal crowd will be in full charge of the forthcoming campaign.

...... ‘CLEAN STATE POLITICS BILL SIGNED BY FOR
‘Curbs Pernicious Campaign Work by Those Paid With U. S. Funds.
WASHINGTON, July 20 (U.P) — President Roosevelt today signed the Hatch “clean state politics bill,” curbing pernicious political activity by some 250,000 state and municipal
workers paid from Federal funds and imposing drastic limitations on | national campaign expenditures. | The measure becomes effective | immediately, In signing it, Mr. | Roosevelt wrote “finis” to the most | hard-fought Congressional battle of | the year, which found many Ad- | ministration leaders voting against it although it had the President's approval. The bill is an amendment to the |original Hatch Act barring Federal

EDGAR RAFNEL has been building a model airplane in the garage attached to the home of Frank Ball at 3223 Central Ave, This afternoon, he and Mr. Ball and Frank Ball Jr. were to test the airplane for the Indiana Gas Model Association meet July 28. Edgar was pretty excited. -He had saved his money religiously to get enough to buy materials and a motor. When they went out to get the plane, they found someone had taken some of it. The plane was in five pieces— the motor, the fuselage, the wings and the tail. The thief had taken the motor and the fuselage. Edgar's chances of flying in the meet are pretty slim.

But the Secretary’s inquiries here and there indicated he is not of that breed. He is not a politician, nor is he a good stump speaker, but he is a New Dealer—and that is what was required. His public addresses often have a vague philosophical quality that reaches several feet above his average audience. Likewise he is a friend of the farmer, and his choice was directed! also to offset the selection by the Republicans of Senator McNary (Ore.) as their Vice Presidentiaj| candidate, although this was not the najor consideration.
