Willkie campaign gains mass mail as Cedar Rapids firm backs bid
A Cedar Rapids law firm responsible for large corporate work sent congratulatory letters and telegrams to Willkie as he pursues the Republican nomination. The influx reached thousands, with Willkie receiving 9,618 letters and 3,127 telegrams on Tuesday morning, while other candidates listed far fewer communications. The columnist warns of opposition smearing and notes Willkie’s Wall Street ties and battles against New Deal policies, asserting the need to nominate a candidate who can be effectively opposed.
