Former Governor Stassen stands In a position to become the first veteran of World War II to become President, Just as the incumbent. President Truman, Is the first veteran of World War I to achieve that high estate. Stassen has youth plus experience as the chief administrator of a state which is important politically and geographically. Like Vandenburg, he also was a delegate to San Francisco, but in any frank appraisal of their roles In international pobtics, he must give ground to the Michigan senator. However, Stasscn has captured popular lmag attiination by his forward-lookintude toward the tantamount subject of the day, the atomic bomb. He has a faculty for capitalizing on issues. Governor Bricker faces the drawback that he'a been to the well before. He failed to win the Republican presidential nomination in 1944 and had to be content with second place. But who could win wave the of Dewey sentiagainst ment then washing over the nation? That he has made a splendid state administrator even Democrats admit. What he lacks is recognition outside his own state; he has suffered from the accusation that he is provincial His declarations on foreign affairs as a vice presi dential candidate a year ago weren't marked for their profundity, werent convincing. Unless all present plans miscarry. Bricker will try for the United States senate. That would give him the national sounding board he needs. Bricker is handsome (an attribute which cannot be overlooked In these days of womens vote), hes an able speaker and a war veteran. The latter will be a factor to be carefully weighed when the 1948 ticket is made up. And this time hell have the wholehearted support of Senator Robert A. Taft of hia home state, something he lacked in a practical sense before. Taft was a candidate himself. This time he says he will not be. and news correspondents particularly the latter already are selecting men to be watched." The next campaign will be nor mal In at least one respect, namely, that the Democratic candidate for all practical purposes already has been chosen. Unless the party's hierarchy wishes to confess failure of a policy of government it has espoused with only occasional departures, the ticket will be headed by President Harry S. Truman. As a matter of fact, that can now be dismissed from conjecture; unless fate Intervenes, Truman is the candidate. However, passing of a President and the elimination from the political scene of an incumbent In the vice presidency, plus election of a Democratic mayor in New York City have combined to encourage Mayor-elec- t election forecasting. William O'Dwyer will not figure personally. but because he ran roughshod over the nominee of Governor Thomas E. Dewey, head of the Republican national ticket in 1944, be has brought national implications into what otherwise would have been simply a municipal ballot. Who will be Truman's running mate, currently Is a popular subject of debate In political circles. Whom the Republicans will place on their ticket runs a close second. Taking those developments up in Inverse order, attention first comes to Governor Dewey.

Mrs. Dye has had a lot of experiin washing overalls for five and her husband. She has out how to make them last longer. Here is what she says in a letter to Faultless Starch, I cannot wash without Faultless Starch. You bet I think it will make overalls last longer and look ten times better. I know. We raised five boys, so I know what Faultless Starch means to overalls. Have used it as far back as I can remember and my mother used it, too. I cant say enough for Faultless Starch. Now there is an important message for anyone who has overalls in her wash. Mrs. Dye says that Faultless Starch makes overalls wear longer (thats mighty important, today) and look ten times better (and thats important, too). L. E. ence boys found HOW TO STARCH OVERALLS Overalls, work pants, wash shirts and childrens play clothes usually get very, very dirty. Sometimes it takes a lot of rubbing on a to take the dirt out. And everyone knows that rubbing wears out clothes as much as washing them does. But when you give them a LIGHT starching with Faultless Starch you save a lot of that rubbing. You see Faultless Starch penetrates the fabric so dirt cant grind in so easily. And Faultless Starch dissolves instantly in water and carries most of the dirt right out with it. So when you starch other things, be sure to give overalls, work pants, childrens clothes, etc., a very light starching at the same time. Youll notice the difference when you wash theml scrub-boar- d SO SMOOTH TO WEAR The men will really like it, too The fabric feels smooth and slick not scratchy and rough. They wont chafe as much around the neck and the arms. Its a wonderful relief to wear smooth, slick work clothes! Try it, this washday. And be sure to use Faultless Starch! Ad v.
