Early Admirers Of
Wiilkie Disgusted
With His Showing
According to those experts in hu

who revealed Wendell Wiilkie to a
waiting world as an extraordinary
political phenomenon, the campaign
of their Wonder Boy has already cur
dled This is a sad commentary on
the fallibility of self-styled techni
cians in popular taste and on the
thanklessness of unsuccessful pro
moters. Apparently the originators
of Mr. Willkie's candidacy are more
grieved over having their bad judg
ment exposed than they are con
cerned about his political prospects,
else they would not so bitterly lay
bare the sad facts regarding his com
plete flop.
publications from which Wiilkie
boosters were recruited and which
were among the first to suggest his
presidential availability, writes about
their one time favorite mercilessly
"G.O.P. politicians," it says, "last
week were sure that the thing they
had dreaded all along had come to
pass: the holy-rolling crusade of
Wendell Wiilkie had gone sour. The
first rumor to get around was that
Wendell Wiilkie was just a super
hawker who had sold the Republi
can convention a bill of goods. Last |
week spreading rapidly through pro- I
fessional ranks was the belief that I
maybe Wiilkie was only a fatter, j
louder Alf Landon . .
"Polls showed that Wiilkie still
drew curious crowds. But these
things failed to cheer many Repub
lican politicians ... In 1928 the whole
U. S. turned out to see A1 Smith
roll by, with cigar, wise cracks, East
Siders and all. As one sad guards
man pontificated to another: dead
whales on flat cars also attract the
crowds."

BUT WHY
COURT-MARTIAL
THE WHOLE
REGIMENT?
A HERE arc bound to be one or two
bad soldiers in every regiment. But why
court-martial the whole regiment?
Tbe same applies to beer retailing. Out
of the 5,000 retailers in North Carolina,
there is bound to be a small minority
who disobey the law or permit anti-social
conditions.
Tbe Brewers and North Carolina Beer
Distributors Committee wants even this
small minority of undesirable beer fe
tailers eliminated entirely. To that end,
the Committee cooperates with law en
forcement officers in securing the revoca
tion of the retail licenses of these objec
tionable outlets. One hundred and two
licenses have been revoked during the
past year. ?' ? ' ' ' ;'??i?

YOU'LL like the site of this trim
new Buick Special for '41?its
room, its softer ride, its Permi-firm
steering, its fresh smart style and all
that.
But what you'll to for is what hap
pens under that broad bonnet?the
thrill and the thrift you get from that
husky, big, 115-hp. Buick Fireball*
Eight.
For in each flame-packed cylinder
of that silk-smooth power plant a
flaring ball of fire is set off with each
spark-leap.
Packed to higher compression than
ever before, fuel gives up more
power and more mileafe ? power
when you need it, economy through
out the whole driving range.
Indeed, so great is the power at you
command that at 30 you use only on?
eighth of the energy at your dii
dil
poaal. All the rest is there waiting
for pick-up, hill-climb and sudden
getaway.
Even at SO you use less than one
quarter of your available power, and
at 75 still have nearly half "on cell"
for emergency use.
More than that, to this engine you
can likewise add Compound Carbu
retion?and step up both power out
put and your mileage. At 30 you'll
get nearly one and one-half more
miles per gallon, at SO almost two,
and at 70 an extra mile and onedifth.
But that's just one side of the story
?the fads side. Only one thing will
give you the stirring feel of Buick's
thrill-packed behavior on the road.
That's a demonstration ? and it's
yours for the asking. When will you
be in to ask lor it?
