^V1	Willkie campaigned against the "New Deal" and lack of military preparedness but was pre-empted by Roosevelt's expanding of military contracts. Willkie then began to accuse Roosevelt of warmongering.
^V2	Giving little thought, Willkie left to his convention chairman, Joe Martin, to suggest a running mate. Charles L. McNairy of Oregon was selected, even though McNairy had promoted a "Stop Willkie" campaign during the convention balloting.
