In 1940 at the Republican national convention he was chosen on the sixth ballot to be that party's presidential nominee, even though he had not even been a candidate in the party primaries. But of course the Democratic incumbent FDR was elected to a third term as US President, so in 1944 Willkie could not even get an invitation to the Republican convention. He wrote a series of pamphlets outlining what he felt should be in the party platform. Even though the Republicans basically ignored his suggestions, he had this compilation of the pamphlets printed. Some of his ideas were very forward thinking - especially in regard to civil rights for all and a postwar organization uniting nations to avoid a third world war. Unfortunately he died in 1944 and never had a chance to support his views in or out of politics. The blurb on the jacket flaps states: THE SEVEN ARTICLES included here on what seem to me the most important problems before us today were written before the conventions in the hope of stimulating discussion that would affect the party platforms for the 1944 presidential campaign—particularly the Republican platform. For I believe that party platforms are important indications of the collective will of the party, both in their omissions and in their professions. And this is a time in our history when we need to choose our leaders with full knowledge of their purposes. Later, I embodied the gist of the seven articles in a suggested platform in the event that I might have the opportunity to fight for the ideas I believed in at Chicago. The opportunity never came. When the editor of Collier's asked me to analyze and comment on the platforms adopted by the Republican and Democratic Parties, I at first hesitated. There seemed little to be gained by post mortems. But when I realized the vast disappointment of millions of thoughtful men and women in these platforms—a disappointment which I shared—I decided that on at least two points I might help to arouse and make articulate a body of public opinion that would demand clear statements of purpose, not only from the presidential candidates but from the vice-presidential and congressional candidates, instead of the evasive mockeries put over at Chicago. The two subjects were our international obligations and our attitude on racial minorities. As the campaign goes on the importance of candor and straightforward thinking on these subjects becomes increasingly clear. It is not enough that we should be offered the mere forms of international cooperation. That is shadow building. For it is the economic relationships between nations that will determine the real possibility of peace. And pledges of wider social security with just treatment of minorities are largely words as long as the interpretation and performance of such pledges is left to the individual states. Believing that the influence of an aroused, informed public opinion is of incalculable value in a democracy, I once more urge that we demand now, while there is still time, meaningful statements on these matters from those who would be our leaders; and that in the future we continue watchful and alert that our purposes may be made effective. For our attitude on our racial minorities and on our international obligations will constitute a test of our sincerity at home and abroad and of our ability to bring about, with other nations.…
