REPUBLICANS HAIL
REORGANIZATION
Kansan's Daughter Greeted
by Enthusiastic Crowd
at Cleveland.
BY the Associateo Press.

CLEVELAND, June 9-Nineteen-
year-old Peggy Ann Landon has come
to town-and no movie star ever re-
ceived a more hysterical welcome.
Enthusiastic crowds shouted and
swirled about the daughter of Gov. ALT
NJ. Landon when she arrived in the
great marble concourse of the rail-
road terminal last night.
. Secretaries from Landon headquar-
ters seized the little figure in the gray
tweed suit and scarlet blouse firmly by
the elbows and propelled her through
the mob scene.
Didn't Come to Work.
She kept her chin up and her smile
bright, but she confided later at Lam
don headquarters, Il was foored."
She didn't come here to work she
said, although she did aid her father
in his 1884 campaign.
Il came here just to make friends-I
hope" she smiled shyly. Il always
wanted to come to a convention, and
I thought this would be as good time
as any"
For her youth she has marked poise.
She made triumphal entry into the
hotel ball room where the Landon
headquarters are. waving her hand
and saying pretty but correct nothings
to the smiling gray-haired men and
women who are working for her
fathers nomination.
Going to Have Good Time"
Later in a small parlor, she faced
newSpaperwomen from all over the
country. She tugged off her gray felt
hat, smoothed her dark hair parted in
the middle and answered:
I'm just going to have a good time.
Well. it's funny thing to say whether
or not you think your own father
would make a good President. I've
been to Washington once. I've never
been in the White House. I don't
know how I'd like to live there. No,
I'm not engaged. Are you referring to
that Texas boy? I saw him once a
year ago.
"Yes, I golf, I dance, I swim. I'm
not studying for any particular pro-
fession. Well-about marriage-I'd
rather not say"
She is the only member Of Gov.
Landon's own family to come to the
convention because I was the only
one that fought to come"
However, she was accompanied by
her grandfather, John Lsndon.

~ the Associated FreSS.
CLEVELAND, June 9.-Eyes aglint
with great expectations, Republicans
pinned on badges until their lapels
sagged and then trooped to the big
hall today to set up their convention
machinery.
Every one of the Is, 500 seats was
In its place, the flag of every State
hoisted as the great doors swung
open to receive the throng sporting
Landon sunflowers, star-spangled
Knox emblems, Borah and Vanden-
berg buttons-and all the rest.
Crammed hotels, rooming houses,
Lake Erie boats serving as hoStelries
emptied their masses of humanity.
The big show was on!
A strange mixture of Mardi Gras
mood and serious pondering over
statecraft had marked the pre-con-
vention days. In hotel lobbies and
bars, crowds jostled each other gaily,
puded cigars, slapped backs.
Strive to AlIay Disputes.
Upstairs, in many a conference
bsom, other delegates worked grimly
away on the crucial problems, striv-
ing to keep the conventions con-
troverSies as mild as possible.
Old timers have been openly criti-
cal of this convention. There haven't
been enough bands to suit them.
Until this morning there had been
but one, loaned by the Great Lakes
Exposition to ride the Landon band
wagon.
And even its activities had been
limited 1t tootled "Oh, Suzanna,'
a few times in the lobbieS of the
principal hotels and then disappeared.
Missing were the singing clubs, too,
of other years, equipped with vigorous
lungs and campaign parodies of popu-
lar songs, trooping from hotel to
hotel to peddle their musical wares.
Celebrities Hunted.
But the care-free crowds have been
having a good time spotting celebrities
in the lobbies, renewing old acquaint-
ances and reminiscing of 4, g. IL and
is years ago.
The celebrity hunters got one real
treat last night Two of the conven-
tion's top personalities stepped off an
elevator and strolled arm in arm
through the crowds and the quick
whispers of Look. look-it'S Borah
and Vandenberg"
Have they teamed up? And If
they have, can they stop Landon?'
ran the excited Questions-to which
there were no answers.
The crowds enjoyed photographers
vain efforts to get Ogden Mills and
DR.. F. E. Townsend, the pension man,
to pose together like long-lost BROTH
ers They fairly whooped with en-
thusiasm when Peggy Ann Landon,
demure daughter of the Kansas cam
didate, arrived on the scene.
Cruise" for Visitors.
Last night, guests went on a mo-
tionless cruise" aboard the good
ship Moses Cleveland, an old car
ferry tied up at pier. A buffet sup
per a revue and music were the high
spots of the "cruise"-arransed for
visiting journalists and politicos.
Red, white and blue bunting fut-
tered today from many buildings, es-
pecially IN Clevelsnd's public square,
near the convention hall. Shop win
dows sported elephants of every hue.
A mild breeze from the lake famed
the city. The weather man predicted
the delegates could keep cool physi-
cally, if not emotionally.

WALKING is ONE "
OF BEST EXERCISES

| Walking as an inexpensive and
healthful pastime is highly recon-
mended to residents of Minnesota in
the weekly bulletin of the Public
Health Education Committee of the
Minnesota State Medical Association
| issued this week.
Daily walks form an often success
full remedy for two common ailments.
the doctors say. Walks will often
overcome chronic constipation and in
many instances will end insomnia. In
the latter case they do double duty
by doing away with the need for using
sleep-producing drugs that may con-
tain narcotics and are sometimes dan
gerously habit-forming.
walking has no equal among forms
of exercise suited to old and young
alike as a general preventive of ill
health" the bulletin states. Coupled
with sensible rules of diet, daily
walk tends to delay the onset of or
ganic disease and to build up strong
resistance to infectious diseases"
The automobile has to a large eX-
tent put an end to walking as an uni
versal recreation. That is why physi-
clans urge an intensive revival of the
old-fashioned daily walk as a most
healthful exercise.
Hundreds and hundreds of persons
permit an auto ride to take the place
of daily exercise. In doing this they
forget that a little muscular action
is as important as fresh air for their
well being.
Although golf and other such pas
times may take the place of the daily
walk in bringing good health, they
are only available to those who can
afford them. Walking is available to
everybody.

When the innocent, white, pure,

crushing ability is concerned. But
when it comes down after being
tossed into the air by a railroad
rotary snow pillow, it is different

could be secured from half dozen
car owners and curiosity seekers
near st. James. These folks re-
Gently gathered in carnival fashion
to watch a Nj. & st. l.. train reach
town on March s. They knew that
the train was travelling slowly and
that it was pushing a railroad ro-
tary pillow but what they did not
know proved a costly lesson to
them.
The snow went into the air from
the pillow but it also came down
again, and with such force that it
crashed through several autOmO-
bile tops, crushed tenders and
hoods, and perhaps rumpled many
temperS. 1t was at this point that
some of the curious began to real
ize that there was something more
to it than entertainment and of
course retreated out of reach.
Mrs. Ben Bertelsen was cut about
the face and leg by broken glass
as the heavy snow did S55 damage
to the car which she was in and
another old roadster suffered COM
plete destruction to its top, as the
snow crashed through when it
came earthward from being tossed
by the rotary.
