Peculiar Iowa Campaign Divides Gross Supporters
In Iowa a strange campaign unfolds with no clear argument. Some back Willkie as Republicans while others back Roosevelt as Democrats. Some oppose Roosevelt for clashing with Hitler, others oppose Willkie due to distrust in public utility men. Gross Republicans stay silent as H R Grogs leaves to seek work, and townsfolk decide their November vote. The motto of the Gross Republicans is the saying about the mills of the gods.
