Mcllwain, Wernette, Gardner Boom Willkie

A small but enthusiastic crowd gathered at New Lecture Hall last night to hear three professors, Charles H. Mcllwain, Howard Professor of Government; John P. Wernette, associate professor of Business Economics, and George K. Gardner '12, professor of Law, give their reasons for supporting Wendell Willkie for president.

Professor Mcllwain, an authority on constitutional law, spent most of his time telling about the dangers of the third term and its implications of dictatorship.

"Roosevelt's record shows that our program of defense has been postponed again and again for personal and political reasons," he added.

"Waving Feather Duster"

Accusing the President of following a policy of "calling names and waving a big feather duster," Professor Wernette cited business indices in his appeal for defense and prosperity. In his view, Roosevelt is the greatest "bottleneck" of all in the defense program because of his desire to investigate each item of the program before it goes into effect.

Gardner compared the election to the selection of a skipper to run a ship when it is certain that the ship is running into a storm. "The men who command must have the loyalty of the whole group which constitutes society," Gardner declared, stating that he considered Willkie to approach far nearer this ideal than Roosevelt.

More than 200 attended another meeting in support of Willkie last night held at the Business School.
