WILLKIE GIRDS FOR "44 FRAY

Expected to Demand Strong £ Anti-Isolationist as New Chairman.

By THOMAS L. STOKES - Tinres Special Writer A WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. — The "Republican party, once again a ‘healthy and lively organism, offers in its 1944 presidential nomination a rich prize that already dangles before the envious eyes of several hopefuls, some of them elevated to ®& grasping position by last week’s - elections. Consequently, there will begin soon, and continue until the national

convention opens)

machinery and domination. of its policies. The first round in this fight will occur less than a month from now,

in St. Louis, where|

-: the Republican Mr. Stokes national committee meets on Dec. 7, the anniversary of Pearl Harbor, to select a new chairman to succeed Rep. Joseph W. Martin. Mr. Martin has resigned * grom the chairmanship to give his full time to the minority leadership of the house, an office now clothed with great responsibility by the election victory which pushed Republican strength in that body close to that of the Democrats. The St. Louis meeting will be lifted above the routine by two i factors—the added power and prestige of the party, and the fact that; Wendell L. Willkie will enter the fight over the chairmanship. Mr. Willkie will insist that the committee elect a chairman fully and sincerely committed to full . participation by the United States fn creation of a new world order that will end imperialism, free subJugated nations and races all over the world, and guarantee that they can live in peace and security.

No Compromise, His Cry This new American responsibility in world affairs is the gospel Mr. Willkie has been preaching and will

. keep on preaching, come what may,|

from now until the convention meets in 44. He will accept no quibbling. He will take no halfway expediency in word or ‘act. He will demand the full testament from his party, firmly convinced that only in this way can the mistakes of the last peace be averted. Mr. Willkie was hailed as a cru- , sader by his followers in 1940. He will fulfill the role—and on this {international issue—to the hilt from here out, in a way that will challenge not only the latent isolation{sm within his own party, but a hesitancy and timidity that he professes to see, judging from his recent public utterances, in the Reosevelt edministration.

Grown in Stature

This will be the platform upon which he not only will seek the Republican presidential nomination, but the platform upon which, as a Republican leader, he will challenge President Roosevelt and the Democrats. : It is widely admitted that Mr. Willkie has grown in stature in the last two years, has acquired a grasp of international problems that was

not manifest in the 1940 campaign,|”

and has a bold and articulate voice that will not be silenced. In this fight, he will array himself against many of the old-line party leaders who have a distaste for the man, his views, and his independence of the course of ex-

pediency which the party is inclined] .

to follow. He realizes this. It whets * his appetite. ° .

Doubt Stassen in Race

These leaders are casting about]:

+ now for a champion among the eligibles who came victoriously from the recent election — Thomas E.

Dewey of New York, John W. Brick-|.

er of Ohio, to mention the two most formidable aspirants from the gtandpoint of political “location” in key states. Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio also is acceptable to the old-line leadership, but they are conscious of his lack of popular appeal. : Governor Harold Stassen of Minnesota, also re-elected, has popular appeal, but he is. only 35, and in ~4 1940 he sided with Mr. Willkie. And he has followed the Willkie course on international affairs since. There is some doubt that he will be a candidate in 1944, Herbert Hoover is a party to the fight against Willkieism in the Republican party, and Alfred M Landon, the 1936 nominee, undoubtedly would be found in the antiWillkie element on a showdown.

Dewey Keeps Hands Off

It has been reported that Mr, Dewey will keep hands off in the contest over the Republican national chairmanship but the Dewey people certainly will be represented in that contest. , « ~~ Mr. Willkie will accept no sideline role, it is certain. It may be recalled that he forced the Republican national committee, at its April meeting in Chicago, to accept a resolution against isolationism and for participation by the United States in world affairs. He operated by telephone from New York, constantly threatening to descend on the meeting with a personal appeal. He can be counted on to do the Sramatis when the party elders t at St. Louis. Mr. Willkie will be on their necks, and they might as well expect it.

Times Special OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 10.— Oklahoma has had prohibition ever since statehood in 1907, but now it is threatened, for the first time, with becoming really dry. Rationing of tires and gas, and sugar and_ copper, seems likely to do what dry laws never did—stop the bootlegger and moonshiner. “Dry enough to please the prohibitionists, but wet enough to get a drink,” is the way one old judge has described the extent of prohibition in Oklahoma. Senator Josh Lee, who made the

unsuccessful attempt to tack an army camp prohibition amendment on the 18-19 draft bill, didn’t help himself among Oklahoma voters by that move. The drys already knew him for a dry, and the wets met his effort to become the leading senate advocate of prohibition with a knowing smile. - “It would just serve Oklahoma right if it had a real spell of prohibition,” commented an old Sooner who has watched the state’s turbulent politics from territorial days. “If Oklahoma was actually dried up for a couple of years, I don't be-

A little moonshine seeps in from the Ozarks along the eastern border. But it has become hard to get tires for 200-mile trips to Texas to bring back liquor and gas rationing will increase the difficulty. The moonshiner is hard put to

Police officers, acting under orders from dry Governor Phillips confiscated 235 cases of wine and liquor consigned to the officers club at Pt. Sill the other day. That threw another scare into bootleggers, and raised a b issue over the state’s authority to interfere with what's done on an army reservation.

The other reason affects the legion of folks who are not public drinkers but who like to keep a bottle or two in. the house. Most Oklahomans are great travelers by
