A Political Campaign Without TV ... How Wonderful!

 "Republican Presidential nominee Wendell Willkie went Hollywood tonight at the Hollywood Bowl."

The 1940 Republican convention was held the last week of June, giving the nominee, Wendell Willkie, four months to campaign before the November 5th election.  There were no primaries then, so no never-ending campaigning of today.  And no television!  Willkie had to travel to as many cities as he could to be seen by the voting public.  

He is in Hollywood on Sept. 19th still going full throttle, along with his wife and two Republican party stalwarts Bob Montgomery and George Murphy.  They all seem to be enjoying themselves. I wonder what they are singing?

Bob is definitely into his singing.  Good set of choppers.
