Wendell Willkie, 1940 Republican Presidential candidate, chats with Washington First Lady Evelyn Langlie during the Pierce County Republican Club's Lincoln Day Dinner at the Masonic Temple. Governor Arthur Langlie would have the privilege of introducing Mr. Willkie to the thousands in attendance on February 11, 1944. Approximately 1700 had obtained tickets for the banquet in the Fellowship Hall while another 350 ate in the roof garden area with an additional 2000 in the theatre. All would be able to hear Mr. Willkie speaking through the use of the public address system. (T.Times 2-10-44, p. 1, T.Times 2-12-44, p. 1) ALBUM 2.
