...unwisely, let Calvin Coolidge get in 1920. He had also been nominated by Democrats-whose leader he supported in 1932, whose same leader this year repudiated Hiram Johnson as no longer a liberal. He had likewise been nominated by the Progressives, last echo of the party under whose banner he and Roosevelt I tried to capture the U. S. in 1912. In California this November, only Communists and Prohibitionists will run candidates against Hiram Johnson...

In Florida Willkie clubs popped up over the State, and a onetime Democratic Governor, Gary Augustus Hardee, took up Willkie's banner. And in Texas Peter Molyneaux's Texas Weekly declared: "There are millions of Americans who do not think President Roosevelt is indispensable, who believe that the wel fare and security of the United States will be better insured by the election of Mr. Willkie. . . ."
