...Rushville went New York's J. Russel Sprague, Massachusetts' Sinclair Weeks, Connecticut's Sam Pryor, Minnesota's keynoting young Governor Stassen, Ohio's Taft man, David Ingalls. Pennsylvania's James Torrance, whose boys lost the State by 660,000 in 1936, carried it by 280,000 in 1938, are wondering whether Wendell Willkie is the man who can carry it by 750,000 in November.
