WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Now that Gov. Landon has nailed his
colors to the mast, the great war of
1886 is finally and formally on. Hos
tilities will not be in full blast for an
other month or six weeks, but battle
lines are at last definitely drawn. Both
the Democratic and Republican high
commands know henceforth on what
points they must train their biggest
guns for attack and likewise where the
most important defense batteries must
be mounted. 1t is taken for granted
that despite the comprehensive dis
closure of his position in the acceptance
address. Landon has by no means ex-
hausted his ammunition. He is bound
in the course of the campaign to lay
down heavy barrages in various specific
directions. with progressive clarif1ca-
ton of his views and program. The
KanSan some time ago indicated his
purpose to conduct an aggressive fight.
He recalled that he had been through
two gubernatorial conteStS-that neither
of them was exactly pink-tea affair
and cited them as guarantees that In
the supreme struggle of his political
career there would be no lack of drive
and punch. Republicans consider that
the opening blow struck at Topeka
promises q two-fisted fight and reveals
Landon as measuring up in full degree
to the belligerent requirements of the
campaign.
In the speech broadcast the other
night by Gov. McNutt of Indiana, de-
picting Gov. Landon as IAN individual
particularly suspectible to the infiu-
ences of stronger minds and more ruth
less Wills" Republicans discern one OF
the principal lines of attack which they
expect the Democrats to pursue against
the G. o. P standard-bearer. AS the
Hoosier executives broadcast was de-
livered under the auspices of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, it's assumed
that the hints about Landon's alleged
sponsors" (the American Liberty
League, William Randolph Hearst ct
alb strike a keynote of which much
will be heard as the fray progresses
In his various State campaigns the
Kansan frequently had to meet the
challenge that certain interests" were
partial to him, SO in due course hell
probably take occasion to refute the
indictment which the Governor OF In
diana has Just launched against him in
the national arena.
Weekly luncheon meetings of the Ma
tional Press Club are coming to attain
outstanding importance as forums for
discussion of national issues. During
the present month the club has heard
John L. Lewis defend his viewpoint in
the bitter conflict within the ranks OF
trade unionism. and given William
Lemke, presidential candidate OF the
Union party, opportunity to air his
views, monetary and otherwise. Not
long ago DR.. Townsend held forth be-
fore the club on his old-age pension
panacea. On these occasions speak
ers are subjected to that species of
straight from the shoulder heckling for
which the reportorial tribe is justly
famed, with the result that special
pleaders find themselves on the spot to
a degree probably unique in their re-
spective experiences.

To the Editor of The Star:
Permit me to express my hearty
thanks for the excellent leading edi-
torial in The Star of Thursday, July 16.
1t is evident to some of us that various
persons are endeavoring to make folks
believe that conditions are just as good
as before repeal or possibly better than
during that period. OF course, this is
not the case. For that reason I am
all the more glad for you to give such
a clear expression to the views which
were stated in that editorial. These
things needed to be said and were said
exceedingly well. w. L. DARBY.
