to be here as guest Of my old friend,
Mr.-er-er- Mr.. Marberry" A wild
howl from the 400. Somebody yelled,
"Marberry to your old friends
Landon waded into the speech, what
would be called an honest, straight
forward speech, but far from a show.
When the speech ended, reasonable
applause took the place Of the ex-
pected howl of protest; Mayberry led
it with a great shout as he started to
the front Of the room.
A yell close to him. Say, VIII
lard, that man of yours must be
honest; he shore amt a speaker"
The crowd laughed.
Jumping up on chair, Mayberry
called for attention. Any Democrats
who wanted to go home could be ex-
cused, because a Landon- for Governor
Club was being organized. He had
cards distributed for names, noticing
at the same time that only a few
men left the room. When the cards
came back, every Republican and
about half the Democrats had Joined
the Landon- for Governor Club.
Some Of Landons strongest friends
were to come from that Western
country; the country of men who
could lose four crops in a row and
come back trying.
Reputation for Adaptability.
Through that campaign ALT Lam
don was at home throughout the
State, making a reputation for being
the most adaptable man in Kansas
politics. Although he did improve
with practice, oratory never will be
Landons strength because it is OPP
posed to his nature. His association
with people had always been per-
sonal. an exchange of ideas. In
small group he could talk lucidly, at
times brilliantly, but to put himself
| in the hero role parading before the
| crowd, that was out Of the question.
| There was not drop of the actor in
| his blood.
In a primary campaign fought
strictly on the issues, he won over
Lacey Simpson, his ra-conserva-
tive opponent, an easy victory. 1t
was fought so entirely without per-
sonalities and invective that old-time
Kansas politicians were left rubbing
their ears.
The November election was a hard,
three-way battle. Two years before,
when Brinkley had made his first
campaign, Woodring had carried the
State. There was no telling who
would be hurt the most by the inde-
pendent candidacy, even though the
magic had gone out Of the bizarre
Brtnkley touch.
Landon emerged as one of the only
two Republican Governors elected in
the United States, elected by the
same voters that gave Kansas TO
Franklin D. Roosevelt by $4,000.

The Story of Alf M. Landon
Chapter VII-Uniting Kansas Republicans.
BY RICHARD b. FOWLER.

~ N HEARING Of his nomina-
ton as the Republican candi-
Y date for Governor, Landon's
~ friends could be excused for
being doubtful. 1t looked like political
suicide.
There was nothing cheerful in the
set-up. Landon would promise neither
jobs nor favors. He was poor public
speaker. And for all the advance
promises, the Republican party was
still split wide open as it went into
the Democratic landslide year of 1882.
Gov. Harry Woodring, Democrat, had
fairly popular administration, and
Brinkley, the goat gland man, was
back with a part Of his former fol-
lowing, a $4,000 Silver-mounted mo-
tor car fixed up like a radio broad
gleam in his eyes.
What few persons realized was that
Landon was political natural" that
he had methods Of his own. He
started, typically, in Western Kansas,
where few candidates bother to 60.
His friend, w. G. West "a candidate
for Governor in 1880, asked q West
ern politician about Landon's first
speech.
1T was terrible" said the politician.
1T was so bad it was good"
Not a Back Slapper.
From that time the Landon star
rose in the Kansas sky. His friends,
and Landon himself, discovered the
strength of the methods that were
natural to him. He couldn't ma
thrilling speeches, but the people who
heard them believed in him. He was
not a back-slapper; but he turned
out to be the most accomplished Wis
itor in Kansas politics.
Somebody later was to say, calf
Landon gets more votes by bumming
cigarettes than any other man ever
won by giving away cigars" In every
town along his route there were po-
litical leaders to introduce him. but
they seldom we're fast enough to keep
ahead of him.
In a Wichita garage, where he

car, he noticed a group of men sitting
on an old chassis.
If there amt the great Landon,"
said one of them with obvious sar-
casm.
Yes, I'm ALT Landon, but people
don't always recognize me-" he said.
Are you going to vote for me?"
Hell, no" said fellow in a greasy
cap. We are all for Brinkley.'
Left Crowd Solid Supporters.
well, you ought to vote as you
think" said Landon. Has anybody
got a cigarette?"
Lighting up his cigarette, he sat
down on the chassis to visit. The
garage owner, who later told the story,

seem to bother John Hamilton. He
went right on smoking, right on talk
ing and gnawing at chicken leg.
There came a moment when the air
liner took a violent dip. 1t must have
dropped a thousand feet. Several of
the strapped-in passengers looked
sick. The skies were now blacker 1
had the seat opposite John Hamil-
ton. He leaned over and said: Now,
you don't really suppose that fellow
Roosevelt's luck is going to keep up to
this extent, do you?"
Plans to Cover U. S. by Air.
Between Pittsburgh and Newark
the storm was now back West-Chair-
man Hamilton talked to me of his
personal campaign plans. He'll do
America by air. He'll use a special
plane for most of his travel. Now
and then he will board a transport
plane And now and then he'll use
trains and motor. It's his intention
to cover America as it has never been
covered in any campaign in America S
history. He'll go to all sections. He
is planning to do two States a day.
He'll have many conferences and
board Of strategy meetings at 5000
and 10000 feet. He'll talk daily to
Gov. Landon by telephone.
His mileage total, when it's all
over, will be something enormous. He
told me that he wouldn't give much
attention to such States as Georgia
and Alabama But he thinks Florida
and Texas are Republican possibili-
ties and he sees victory in such States
as Oklahoma. Nebraska and Mis-
souri,. I'm going" he said, every
where an airplane will take me and
I'm going to do it awful fast. My
headquarters will be in Chicago, but
I'll jump around a lot. Two States a
day isn't SO hard when you've got a
fast plane and there's work to be
done"
Vitality ImpreSses Nation.
John Daniel Miller Hamilton, whose
father was a Democrat and whose
grandfather came here from Belfast
and was the first Governor Of the
Kansas Nebraska Territory Che was
killed shortly before the Civil War in
q cannon explosion during a Fourth
of July speech), has come long way.
Sandy haired, hazel-eyed, restless,
quick-tempered and alert, he has es-
tablished himself as a fighter, stra-
tegist and an organizer. America has
become impressed by his vitality and
his organizing genius, his courage and
his Showmanship. That political
training on the prsiries has served
him well.
In March, when he took over the
campaign-managing, two tremendous
tasks confronted him: One was to
See that Alfred Landon got the Re-
publican nomination. The other was
to see that this same Landon goes to
the White House.
And square-jawed John believes,
and he convinces you of this belief,
that he has already accomplished the
more difficult of two big jobs.

dined with capitalists.
Sought to Reconcile Factions.
He campaigned on the same princi-
Piles that he was to use as Governor.
He set out to bring together people
OF opposite views-in this case the two
factions of the party.
In every town lived at least one
leader for each faction. When Lam
don called on Jones of the conserva-
tives, Jones would say something like
this. I'm glad to back you for Gov
ernor. Alf but stay away from that
double-crossing Brown. If he is for
you. it will ruin you in this town"
"Of course. I am going to see
Brown" was Landon's answer. That's
where I am going from here. That
old fight is dead, dead as the PopuliSt
party. Here We have a program to
save your neck and it's just as i'm
portant to Brown"
An example of speech making un-
der difficulties was out at Elkhart on
the plains of Western Kansas. Will
lard Mayberry, later to be Landons
secretary, was the newspaper man of
the town and Republican leader. One
meeting only two weeks before had
won him to Landon. Enthusiastic,
Mayberry, tall and loose jointed. put
his soul into the reception with a big
barbecue, the swankiest thing Elkhart
had seen since the beginning of the
drought.

But the affair started badly and
grew worse. That day the drought
IN Morton County was broken The
rain poured down rivers on the lawn

the rain to meet Landon at the next
town, drab crowd with wilted signs
on their cars.
Ihe barbecue was moved miserably
into the only vacant store building of
the town, room large enough to ac-
commodate 100 people. Four hun
dred arrived.
Landon arrived at the affair wet
and tired. He was i'll. But of all
things depressing to Mayberry was
the discovery that the candidate had
manuscript to read. In the whoop-
ing. yelling crowd of wheat farmers
and ranch hands Landon went hand.
shaking his way through the room
The atmosphere was heavy with the
ordor Of barbecue, grease, the smoke
from Mayberry's free cigars.

till this crowd sees that manuscript. >"
and made final stab at putting them
in q mellow mood by rounding up
several Of the boys to sing COWBOY
songs.
AS he walked to the front with
Landon, he whispered, Lets let on

SET GAME BIRDS FREE

G. E. Mitchell, of the state game
department, is in Kennewick today
releasing 200 pheasants which have
been held over the winter for spring
planting, at the local game farm.
according to the departments re-
cords, it costs only 20 cents per bird
TO feed them for four months and
their estimate is that one bird
turned loose at this time of the
year Is equal to five turned loose
Just before the hunting season.
The 200 birds that are being set
Iree today will be planted 20 near
aoVer, 80 on the Highlands, so at
auckland and so at Benton City to
Tosser. This will give a good dis
troution over the county. Finley is
pretty well stocked with birds that
get away from the game farm.
MI. Mitchell is travelling over the
state distributing the birds from
the various game farms. He also has
oeen sent to various parts of the
state to collect game birds and an
mals for the biology department
and gave the secretary of the Ken
neWlck Sportsmans club some very
interesting facts about what pleas
ants eat. One cock he killed had
A1i54 weed seeds in his crop; a hens
crop contained 1889 weed seeds.

TO DISCUSS
PROPOSED
INITIATIVES
Chamber to Present EXpla-
nation of Measures to APP
pear on General Election
Ballot This Fall

Six new initiatives have been filed
recently with the secretary Of state.
All, purportedly, have to do with
taxation. All are sponsored by
groups which hope to benefit by
their passage. Most of them call for
a different division of tax money.
Cities, counties, automobile clubs
and others are all seeking a cut at
the gas tax. Some Of the bills may
have merit, perhaps not. At any
rate, in order that citizens may
have a chance TO know about the
provisions and possible results from
the adoption Of the proposed laws,
the chamber of commerce will spon-
sor a program in which the several
bills will be discussed. The matter
was turned over to the legislative
committee at the regular meeting
tins noon and the first number will
appear on an early program.
The club will also attempt to es-
tablish an information bureau con-
corning the district. These programs
will be public and anyone who cares
tc attend will be welcomed.
The matter of arranging for a
community celebration in honor Of
MIR. Singleton's work on the re-
financing work for the Columbia
Irrigation District. left last week to
the irrigation and house committees
is going forward. It is thought that
the function will be held out OF
doors, possibly in the park.

GRASS PRICE
is BOOSTED
BY CANNERIES
Acreage in Upper Valley is
Increased This Year; Now
Total is Nearly 1000 Acres;
Duty is Reduced

With canneries already in the
field offering Az cents pound for
asparagus, lower valley growers to-
day were predicting a successful
1896 season. They expect to begin
the harvest between April / and 10,
which is slightly later than last
year.
The cannery offer was one-fourth
of a cent more than the early offer
last season. An Oregon firm was
the first to make the offer, but its
price has been met by valley firm,
Sam r. Taylor, one of the Sunny
side districts successful growers,
said in a story in the Yakima Her
aid yesterday.
Growers between Union Gap and
Benton City last year put in 17799
acres of asparagus, bringing the
acreage in the territory to 995.59
acres, Taylor, who made a survey
of the crop prospects recently, said.
The new planting will not produce
this year, and 92.6 acres of the pro-
ducing acreage are in new fields on
which the production will not be
large, he said. This means there
will be Ills acres of heavy produc-
ing asparagus.
Taylor doubted if the flood in
California, which damaged aspara-
gus in the Sacramento valley, will
help markets for valley asparagus
much for the California product
goes off he northwest markets as
soon as local grass is supplied. Cal
ifornia asparagus that has reached
Seattle sold for II cents pound,
the same as last year.
Canadian Duty Cut
The reciprocal trade agreement
with Canada brought a reduction
in the duty on washington aspara-
gus going to British Columbia from
IAN to 61s cents a pound, Taylor
said.
'aThe duty still is too high to help
valley growers, he asserted, for
the duty added to the price Of as
paragus makes the price too high
for consumers to buy much. We
could ship to Canada profitably with
a duty Of I or cents pound, and
before the heavy duty was put on
our tonnage we had . heavy and
profitable business with British Co
lumbiA."
