Willkie Sees Race For Governor
ship of New York Wide Open
THINKS REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS DOZEN MEN
WELL QUALIFIED FOR GOVERNORSHIP
-
DENIES HE AIDS LEHMAN
He Insists on A Candidate Who Favors A Broad
International Viewpoint After the War
__
NEW YORK — With the position that Wendell L.
Willkie. former Republican candidate for President,
will take in the States and Congressional elections this
Fall one of great importance to his party, it was learn
ed definitely that he will oppose nomination of candi
dates with an isolationist viewpoint and support those
who favor a broad internationalist policy after the war.
Mr. Willkie assumes that all Republican candidates
will favor vigorous and all-out prosecution of the war.
In the past few weeks there have been many rumors
about Mr. Willkie’s position, most of them erroneous
and some of them published. He has been reported as
having told friends that he would support Governor
Herbert H. Lehman for re-election, that it was doubt
ful whether he would choose to support Republican or
Democratic candidates at the coming election and that
his final decision would be based on the personalities of
candidates.
Mr. Willkie has volunteered no answer to these ru
mors but, when questioned directly about the rumor
that he world support Governor Lehman, if the latter
should be a candidate for re-election, he replied: “That
rumor iS a lot of bunk. I am a Republican. I have
never even discussed the question of supporting Gov
ernor Lehman with anybody. Some over-anxious peo
ple apparently are spreading this rumor in the hope of
creating a phony issue.”
**
Not Committed on Governorship
Contrary to the prevalent opinion that former Dis
trict Attorney Thomas E. Dewey is virtually certain to
be the next Republican candidate for Governor. Mr.
Willkie regards the nomination as still open with no
lack of men who would make acceptable candidates,
but he has no candidate of his own.
He has listened to the advocates of all potential candi
dates who have called on him and is keeping his mind
open. It may be said authoritatively that he is pledg
ed to no one candidate and has not decided to oppose
any candidate. He is open to argument.
In his conversations with party leaders Mr. Willkie
has emphasized his indifference to personalities. “Pick
a candidate about whose international views there can
be no question, and I’ll campaign for him in every ham
let. town and city in the State if you want me to, or
I'll keep still if you thing that’s best.” he has told in
fluential Republicans who have questioned him about
the nomination for Governor. "In other words, my
time is yours from the convention on."
Mr. Dewey, o! course, is the leading candidate for
the Republican Gubernatorial nomination. Mr. Willkie
recognizes that Mr. Dewey gave valuable public ser
vice as District Attorney of New York County. He re
alizes that in his Lincoln Day dinner speech Mr. Dewey
declared that the war must be fought through to a fin
ish and that there must be no appeasement. What Mr.
Willkie does not know is Mr. Dewey’s attitude on what
the United States should do after the war is over.
It is Mr. Willkie’s belief, frequently expressed in
speeches and published articles, that the only hope of
the survival of freedom in America and elsewhere is
for narrow nationalism and restricted trade areas to
be forever eliminated from this world.
It is also his belief that the Republican party will
cease to exist as a major political instrumentality un
less it completely abandons isolationism and adopts a
more liberal policy toward labor. It is his conviction
that the future of the Republican party depends large
ly on the type of candidates it nominates this Fall.
His List of Qualified Men
Other Republicans qualified for the Republican nom
ination for Governor, who have come to Mr. Willkie’s
attention, include:
Representative James W. Wadsworth, former Unit
ed States Senator, whose position on international af
fairs has never been doubtful and who actually led the
President in advocating recognition by the United
States of its responsibility in the world of today.
Charles Evans Hughes Jr., son of the former Chief
Justice of the United States Supreme Court and Gov
ernor of New York, who has been active for years in
State and city affairs.
Robert Moses, former Republican candidate for Gov

wishing to obtain the benefits of the exemption law!
must file “on or before 12 o’clock July 1, 1943“ a notice
of his desire to hold the mining claim. The full text j
the law follows: i
AN ACT
Providing for the suspension of annual assessment
work on mining claims held by location in the United
States, including the Territory of Alaska
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Represent
atives of the United States of America in Congress as

Allen W. Dulles, who served ten years in the United

erican Peace Commission in Paris.
Rolland B. Marvin, for twelve years Mayor of Syra
cuse until he retired the first of this year.

ate and former National Commander of the Veterans

Oswald D. Heck, Speaker of the Assembly and a
member of that body for eleven years.
Favors International Viewpoint
Mr. Willkie is particularly interested in the nomina
j tion of a Republican candidate for Governor who has
an international viewpoint because of the weight he
would carry, if elected, in the councils of the Repub
lican party. Even when his own party is in power in
the nation, a Governor of New York is an important
factor in deciding party policy and when his party is
out of power nationally the power of a New York Gov
‘ ernor to dominate party policy, in Mr. Willkie’s opin
ion, increases greatly.
It is Mr. Willkie’s opinion that Alfred E. Smith, by
his opposition to prohibition led the way to the advo
cacy by the Democratic party of repeal and that Charl
es S. Whitman, as a “dry” Governor, had an influence
in determining the Republican party to be for prohib
ition. Similarly, the declaration of Grover Cleveland
that “a public office is a public trust” led to the popular
belief at that time that the Democratic party was the
party against graft.
Therefore as a firm believer in the two-party system,
Mr. Willkie is desirous that his party nominate as its
candidate for Governor a man concerning whose posi
tion on foreign policy there can be no question. With
i this in mind he hopes the Republicans will nominate a
man he can support wholeheartedly. He is not setting
up any hide-bound rules by which candidates must be
judged; he is not trying to assume any dictatorial role.
He is simply interested in seeing that the candidate
selected is one who has the daring to see the world as a
whole and who will stick to those convictions even
though the opportunistic course might be to affect a
quick change to isolationism as the war draws to a
| close.—by James A, Hagerty.
