Participants were Theodore F.

R. L. Cochran, Nebraska; Charles

They accused Gov. Landon of
parsimony in administering Kansas

it in 1886, of being allied with steel,

Gov. Landon holds that the fed

to solve the problem of unemploy-
ment and the presumption is that
he expects private industry to sue
ceed." Gov Earle said. Let us
consider an example, the steel in
dustry. Gov. Landon may be fam
liar with that, since his uncle, Will
