Wallace Cited for Courage

In Battle for Renomination

By THOMAS L. STOKES

Scripps-Howard Staff Writer

CHICAGO, July 21 —Somebody

throws a bomb at Hitler. The Jap-

anese cabinet falls. The deadly circle closes in on the dictators. , Beating in on them, too, are the shouts from assemblies of free people, such as that out here in Chicago's great stadium: There a great political party goes through those contortions typical of a democracy in its trial-and-error method—a method which seems

crude and cumbersome but which leaves men free. A man stands before them. He! is the antithesis| of Hitler and Tojo. | He grins shyly. He raises his hand, as the crowd]

FDR Accepts at Naval Base, Warns of Dewey Immaturity

WITH PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT |

AT A PACIFIC COAST NAVAL this world-wide job—to inexperi-

BASE, July 21 (U. P.).—President Roosevelt, speaking from this unidentified west coast naval base, accepted the fourth term nomination last night and warned the] people not “to turn over this 1944] job—this world-wide job—to inex- | perienced and immature hands.” The President, speaking from the guarded security of his special train in which he journeyed from Washington, said that he would accept the nomination despite “my desire to retire to the quiet of private life” and promised that he would not “campaign in "the usual sense, for the office.” “In these days of tragic sorrow, I do not consider it fitting,” he said. “Besides, in these days of global warfare, 1 shall not be able to find the time. I shall, however, {eel free to report to the people the facts about matters of concern to them and especially to correct any misrepresentations.”

Sees Victory Within 4 Years

Mr. Roosevelt said that it seemed “wholly likely” that the allies will have gained a complete victory over Germany and Japan within the next four years and the world will once again be at peace under a system | that he hoped would prevent a new war, “In any event, new hands will} then have full opportunity to realize the ideals which we seek.”

He said that in the last three elections not only Democrats but for-ward-looking Republicans and independent voters have turned to a progressive leadership which has; sought consistently “to advance the, lot of the average American citizen who had been so forgotten during the period after the last war.” He added that his acceptance of a fourth -term nomination was “based solely. on a .sense of obligation to serve if called upon to do 50 by the people of the United States.” Mr. Roosevelt said he was “at this naval base in performance of my duties under-the--Constitution. The war waits for no election. Decisions must be made—plans must be laid—strategy must be carried out. They do not concern merely a party or a group. They will affect the daily lives of Americans for generations to come.” He listed three objectives

to form world-wide international organizations and to build an economy for our returning veterans and for all Americans, which will provide empiovment and decent standards of living, Then in a statement obviously @imed at the youthfulness of the 42-year-old Republican nominee, Governor Thomas E. Dewey, the President said: “The people of the United States will decide this fall Whether

enced and immature hands.” The people will decide, he added, whether they want to turn this job! over to those who “opposed lend-| lease and international co-opera-tion against the forces of aggression and tyranny, until they could read the ‘polls of popular sentiment; or whether they wish to leave it to those - who saw the danger from abroad, who met it head-on, and who now have seized the offensive and carried the war to its present stages of success.” The people, he said, will decide on the record of the administration's prosecution of the war, its domestic- accomplishments in recovery and reform since 1933 and its international conferences. ~ “The record,” he said, “is Plain, and unmistakeable.”
