BY EARL RICHERT

IF THERE WERE a stock market in politics, the quotations on Wendell Willkie in his native state would show a decided slump

during the past few weeks. His supporters are among the

first to admit this. (But they say

it is just one of those things that come in polities and nothing that can’t be changed. They blame the Willkie slump chiefly on the

November electiofls which convinced many Republicans that they can win the presidential election next year regardless of whom they nominate. Naturally, the old-line Republicans aren't going to be for Willkie if they think they ean win with anyone else. .Most of the anti-Willkie feeling In the state is crystallizing behind Governor Dewey of New “York. Typical is the situation here, While G. O. P. District Chairman Joseph J. Daniels is

* all-out for Willkie, several of his

lieutenants: are saying, -off the record, of course, that “Dewey is the man.” " . »

- Want Willkie Visit

THE WILLKIE supporters are anxious that their candidate return to his home state and try to complete the job that he started here last summer—that of securs ing the support of his home state organization, He made decided progress at that time, but, like many evangelists, Willikie finds himself in the position of having his converts backslide a few days after he leaves town, He doesn’t do himself any good with the old-line Hoosier Republicans by referring to the black record of the Harding ad‘ministration and praising . the principles of President Wilson. Willkie was scheduled here early this month, but was forced to cancel the visit. His supporters are hoping that he will be able to spend two weeks here in the near future, . » »
