Presidential campaign. It's a bit bumpy but it doesn't seem to matter much to others on this airliner, who are going about their conversation and other little businesses as if it were an every-day occurrence. That is certainly true of the man who may become President ot the United States. He sits calmly up front with Mrs. Willkie, pouring through a stack of newspapers from hers, there and everywhere that were loaded aboard. He loves newspapers and keeps his secretaries scurrying about to get every new edition. ACROSS THE AISLE. in a single seat, sits Russell Davenport, the writing man who became enamored of Mr. Willkie months ago, was convinced that he was an unusual fellow who would make a good President, resigned his job on Fortune Magazine, and devoied himself to promoting the utility executive for President, He's still promoting, now that the nomination is far behind. Quiet for a time is the mop of Willkie hair, The Republican candidate may worry about things, but he never gives any outward sign. He seems to have that ability possessed also bv Franklin D.
