F ellow Amateurs—Willkie Comes Out With 1940's Charm Phrase |

By THOMAS LL STOKES Times Special Writer

| DR MOINES, Towa, Aug. 6.—"Fellow amateurs—" Wendell Willkie grinned his broad, infectious grin. A cloudburst of applause broke about him from the “amateurs,” leaders of lowa's independent Willkie-for-President Clubs, as their champion—their political cretion, they reaily consider him—stood before them at a luncheon here. \

“Fellow amateurs” ig likely to become as famous in this campaign as another salutation became in two others. “My friends—" Remember? The Republican nominee knows how much he owes to the “amateurs,” those zealous fellows to whom politics before has meant something mysterious they read about in the newspaper, who became evangels for his nomination and now are eager to finish the job and send him to the White House. He finds them everywhere. They cluster about him with an almost fanatical gleam in their eyes, He is going to lean heavily on them, He told the group here—and his voice rang with sin. cerity-—that it had lifted his soul to think of this and other groups all over the country working for his nomination and now for his election, Again he called them “amateurs” as he exhorted them to go out and tell others his objectives so that they will understand, for that, he said, is all that is necessary,

He made it a point to visit the luncheon of the Willkie club leaders, presidea over by Oren Root Jr, after he had sat through a luncheon given by the regular politicians— county chairmen gathered from all over lowa. The nominee labeled himself an “amateur.” When he stood before the youngsters he did have, it is true, that professional “amateur” appearance, suit a bit crumpled, hair at loose ends—even more so than ordinarily

perhaps, because he had been mauled and hauled for hours in a hectic day of the sort now very familiar—and very wearying-—to those who have to keep up with him, As an “amateur,” he impressed one who followed him from conference to speech, to lunch, to conference, all day long, as the most skillful political operator since— well, since Franklin D.
