But he just mooohed along, never raised his voice above . conversational monotone, and waited patiently until his rival paused long enough in his sales talk to take another deep breath. The moocher would then break in on the customers with the lazy declaration, "iiere tool Here tool" Up to date Candi. date Landon's sales talks have been nothing but c "Hero tool" echo of what President RooSe. welt has been preaching and prac- Using since 1888.
 Question!
 Gov. Landon, who in tho interest of dignity has been robbed Of his paliy, pre.nomination "Alf" and must now he thought and spoken of as "Alfred", has announced his advocacy of Opportunity for American Youth. Also his uns shakable adherence to "the Alners ican way" of doing things. Any disinterested listener might with proprlety enquire, "Well, who isn't?" An interested listener might further ask, "How do you propose Co provide the oppOrtu. nlty7" And follow 1t up by de- Manding to know, "Just what do you mean by the American way?" Answer
 If Aifred's most recent public utteranees are to Do taken aS Q measuring stick the questions will remain satisfactorily unanswered until after election. To give him his honest due Gov. Landon has tried, but the trial has resulted in nothing more definite than inoths eaten generalities. What he should soy to express his thought and mako clear his intent is, T am for giving the youth of the country tho opportunity which they are getting from thO democratic ad- mlnlstratlon but I want it to bo given under republican control and upon the traditional republl. can principle Of rugged indlvids uallsm! I adhere to the American way provided it is the repubIlcan way aS interpreted by MT. Hoover, Che duPont way as interpreted by Che American Liberty League, and aS demonstrated over . life time by dlscoveFer, packer, and model, William Randolph FEearst!" Incl- dentaliy MT. Hearst has given the opportunity to Journalistic youth on the stan of the Seattle, Wash, sheet "Tho P.I" of losing their jobs for daring to start Q writer's union in the papers plant
 Loss of Memory
 I suppose it is unreasonable to expect that Candidate Landon, who was 50 hot for New Deal measures when his beloved Kansas was in distress and who now is 50 cold towards the administration which applied them in response to his cries for help, would avoid oratorlcal platitud0s to cover Up the irreconcilability of his past and hk present positions. But t Is not unreasonable to expect that . man who b in complete possession
 of his faculty of memory would avoid, as he would the plague, any reference to Curtaillng prcductlon especially In view of hls written approval Of cuFtaiIment in little things like the oil producing bust. ness. And to cover Up his forget. fulness by such horrible tripc aS "iEcw can 1t Do said that we have overproduction when 90 many Americans gre badly fed, badly clothed, and badly houSed-when large groups are neglected, under" paid, or unemployed"
