Calling the Tune By Thomas L. Stokes

WASHINGTON, July 13.—President Roosevelt set the keynote of his re-election campaign in his letter to National Democratic Chairman Hannegan Bouncing he would accept a fourth-term nomination. He will run as commander in chief, as so often

ane

predicted—with some q . Republicans. To pump up still further this “abové the battle” psychology, he will not run “in the usual partisan, political sense.” This will furnish the ammunition for the barrage that Democratic campaigners will lay down from now until Novembér in an effort to hold off personal attacks on the President and his adminis tration, on management of the war and on his domestic program. It is an attempt. to create

‘Tired Old Men’ Theme

THE REPUBLICAN campaign has not yet taken form, but the sketchy, preliminary outlines in party pronouncements and speeches, including those at the recent convention, are interesting in the emphasis on “the tired old men" conducting affairs at Washington and in the stress on their candidate as an administrator. This emphasis on alleged mismanagement may pay dividends and it keeps away from the direct issue of the war itself, except as to how efficiently it is being conducted. } There was considerable scoffing here about the + President’s public recognition and announcement

Gain in Washington State

A similar G. O. P. gain was noted in Washington state, where the Republicans nominated Tacoma’s Mayor Harry B. Cain, on military leave, to be their candidate in the November race for the senate seat of Democrat Homer T. Bone. Unofficial returns from 2317 of the state's 3164 precincts gave Cain 50,337 votes, while Rep. Warren G. Magnuson, nominated by the Democrats, received 75,971. Republican Governor Arthur B. Langlie won renomination by a vote of 124,392, more than the combined number polled by the Democratic nominee, Senator Mon C. Wallgren, and Louise Wasmer.
