HLs scattered talks around the country during th* spring and summer did not attract the following that was anticipated for a Republican governor, three times elected rn strong campaigns in a large state like Ohio, considered the mother of presidents.

Thus, at this stage .the race is likely to become an active contest between Willkie and Bricker with possibilities cf a deadlock in the convention which could draft Dewey.
