ONE OF THOSE STORIES that show that a presidential candidate can miss the boat just as easily as a candidate for county commissioner was making the rounds of the Bricker ‘meetings here yesterday. And
its accuracy was confirmed by two It seems that several months a
Hoosier G. O. P. politico who is close to both Governor Dewey and
Governor Bricker went to see Governor Dewey about the nowhistoric Wisconsin primary, The New York governor made it very clear to his visitor that he definitely cid not want his name entered in the primary. And when the visitor suggested that Bricker's name should be entered, the New York governor reportedly sald that he favored such a move. The Hoosier then conferred with’ Bricker and urged him to enter the Wisconsin primary. The Hoosier had many contacts in Wisconsin, including Fred Zimmerman, the secretary of state who headed the Dewey slate in this week’s primary, and he spent two weeks there making soundings for Bricker.
He came back to report to Bricker that Zimmerman and his crowd (the same that finally entered for Dewey) would enter for him, if he desired. '

Bricker Says No
THE MATTER WAS PLACED before the cautious Bricker board of strategy. The majority of the board felt that Mr. Willkie was too strong and that it would be inadvisable for their candidate to get into an open battle with him.
Bricker sald no. Zimmerman and his crowd went ahead and filed for Dewey and won a startling
victory. Result: Today Dewey is Queen of the May with a bandwagon sweeping the country, The Bricker supporters feel that had they made a different decision, it would be their bandwagon and not Mr. Dewey's. They are philosophical about it though. “It was just a strategy decision that proved to be wrong,” sald one of them. “Whether it will prove to be fatal remains to be seen.” =
Democrats Dream
INDIANA DEMOCRATS, who have experienced some terrific nightmares lately, are now doing some pleasant day-dreaming in connection with Mr. Willkie. Wouldn't it be wonderful, they say, if somehow, someway a “* Roosevelt-Willkie ticket could be concocted for the coming cam-
paign. They aren't just joking when they say this, either. Most of them admire the 1940 G, O. P, presidential nominee very much and they have a wholesome respect (remember the 1040 eléction) for the vote-getting powers of Mr. Willkie in this state. They think that Mr. Willkie on Jthe ticket would cinch a Democratic victory here as well as in the nation. Some of them even go so far as to say that the Democratic party should draft Mr. Willkie for the No. 2 spot at the Chicago convention. They realize that this is all just >» day = dreaming — that. probably Willkie would say no and that

- Qualifications for
Presidency.
The Indiana MacArthur-for-President club today began statewide circulation of literature designed to convince the public that the general is eminently qualified, other than for his military record, for the presidency. This in line with the national organization’s program to work up public sentiment for MacArthur to such an extent that the G. O. P. national convention will be forced to draft him. “If an un-seen hand had sought to pick out a man and educate and train. him for the task of being president’ of this, the greatest nation in all the world, in its most trying hours, a better job could not have been done. The Republican party cannot render this nation
greater service than the nominating of Gen. MacArthur for the presidency,” the literature, sent out by Willard A. Bartlett, Indiana president, said. Seek State Advisers Mr. Bartlett said that a state advisory council, composed of 100 men, is being selected from different sections of the state. Included on the committee, he said, were seven editors and jour-

Seeks Malan’s Post
ODDS AND ENDS! Miss Virginia Kinnaird, president of the state teachers association, is vigorously pushing her campaign to defeat Dr. Clement T. Malan for renominaticn to a third term as state superintendent of public instruction. . , . J. Frank McDermond, Attica publisher and president of the Hoosier State Press association, will seek election as a delegate to the G. O. P. national convention from the sixth district. He reportedly is pro-Bricker. . . . The betting in G. O. P. circles is 50-50 on whether the special session of the legislature, to convene Tuesday, will take up only the soldier vote bill. The subject matter to be considered will be decided upon at a Republican caucus here Monday afternoon.

According to a British military commentary, the area down to the Rumanian coast has become the fulcrum for the entire allied offensive against German-occupied Europe. In other words, it is not improbable that the western invasion will be synchronized with the Russian smash into the Balkans when it reaches its height.
