believe that Governor Lam
don will positively be elected
President of the United States
on Tuesday next.
I base that belief chiefly on
my confidence in the common
sense Of the American people.
They are taking no risks
financially. socially or politi-
cally, If they elect Landon.
They are taking no risks per-
Sonally or nationally.
Landon is a sound thinking,
sane acting, competent, con-
ScientiouS American.
He is the kind of man you
would select to leave in charge
of whatever savings you had
been able to accumulate Tor
your wife and children.
You know that he would
handle such a trust with Scru-
pulous honesty and exceptional
ability.
Public office is public
trust" so said Cleveland truly
and comprehensively.
That statement is the truth,
and all the truth, about honest
public service.

President Politician
With Mr.. Roosevelt. however,
the American people would
be taking serious and unneceS-
Sary risks
He is impractical and ex-
perimental in his fundamental
character.
He is inexperienced In the
needs and duties of labor and
business and in the rigorous

He has never labored. He

living off the public pay roll.
He has always been a failure

more than so per cent.
He is by nature and training
