Walker, who has just returned from a trip through ten western states, declared that the prospects for the democratic party in 1944 were "very good." Bricker. Willkie Mentioned
He said that the names of Gov. John Bricker of Ohio and Wendell L. Willkie had been mentioned most by political leaders as they speculated on who the Republicans would nominate for president in 1944.
in discussing Democratic candidates with state leaders Walker declared that the name of former Postmaster General James Farley was mentioned "very frequently," while that of Vice President Henry A. Wallace was heard "very little."
Throughout a long press conference, Walker consistently refused to
talk about a possible fourth term for Mr. Roosevelt.
"It's too early to talk candidates." Denver Wants Convention
"Personally," Walker declared, "I would like to see an agreement with both political parties for a short campaign. September and October would not be bad. I'd rather have a late convention. I'd like to see the campaign conducted on a very high plane."
He refused to speculate on a convention date or a convention city, although he added that Denver leaders were anxious to bring the convention to the Colorado city.
Walker was asked what complaints were voiced by state democratic political leaders whom he conferred with on his trip through Wisconsin
