...Views. One question on which the Miller letters threw no light was whether General MacArthur is an isolationist. This question was of serious concern since much of his support has come from such extreme isolationists as Colonel Robert R.

In a letter to the Herald Tribune, he quoted a telegram General MacArthur sent from Manila in 1940 to William Allen White's Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies. Said General MacArthur...
...Anti-Fourth Term slate was headed by Milwaukee's William R. Callahan, a Democrat who has never voted for F.D.R. and who has seethed more or less silently for eleven years while Democratic patronage went to Bob La Follette's Progressives.

They had been more inclined toward a regency around Umberto's six-year-old son, the Prince of Naples. Now they embraced Umberto...
Tone of the G.O.P. campaign was set by rich, aging Senator Ed H. Moore, who used to be a Democrat until he sickened of the New Deal. Cried he: "I hate and detest the New Deal with all my soul. It is a destructive vice in America. I want it eradicated completely." Replied big-gun Democrat, Kentucky's Alben Barkley: "I just asked them what part of the New Deal they would vote against . . . social security, the wage-hour act, bank insurance, soil conservation and all the rest...
