Bid for Catholic Vote

The bid for the urban Roman Catholic vote is being taken very seriously by leaders of both parties, although no one admits it and the matter is being handled very deli cately.
 Landon's tribute to parochial schools, his assertion that they, along with public and private schools, must be kept free of fed- eral control, was consciously planned as an appeal to Roman Catholic voters.
 The inside word among republi- cans is that there will be no break between Landon and Hearst, even though the governor slammed ct Hearst's pet programs in denounc- ing the teachers oath" and in op- posing sales taxes as against income taxes.

Admit Act Is "Cockeyed"

Privately. most informed sdemo- crats admit the corporate surplus tax act will have to be revised and that 1t really is @ "cockeyed" piece of 'egislation in its present form. They're ashamed of the sloppy way in which the act was concocted and yet proud of the principle which Landon says Is vicious"
 They will tell the world that the corporate surplus tax has resulted in a billion dollars of increased in- come for investors through divi- dends. They will say that the tax doesn't inhibit business expansion, because stockholders receiving div in est their funds in the corporation if they desire.

Speeches Cheer G. o. P.

All this is based on don't quote me- conversations with leaders and strategists at republican and demo- cratic headquarters !n New York Elaboration of some of these con- clusions follows:
 Republicans were steamed up over both the Chautauqua speech on education and the Buffalo speech on taxation. Democrats ad- mitted the former was the best public address the governor had made in the campaign and thought the Buffalo speech was perhaps even more effective temporarily but at the same time insisted they could shoot most of Land0n'S statements full of holes.
 They say they will subsequently, ask Landon how he expects to cut taxes-as in the case ci undivided corporate surplus taxes-and still pay the governments bills without borrowing.

New York, Sept. 1-Since Gov ernor Landon's trip into the east was neither a triumphal procession nor an obvious failure, current size ups of it's effect on the campaign are necessarily influenced by preju- dice, guesswork and wishtul think ing on the parts of his opponents and his supporters.
 It is in order, however, to sum- marize what Landon really did on this invasion, because some of the angles have been overlooked. To enumerate:
 T-Landon definitely aligned him.
 4 self in his Buffalo speech against New Dealers who believe a major national ailment is the concentra- ton of wealth and against those who believe in redistribution of in- come, sharing the wealth." or soaking the rich" in one form or another.
 0-Landon spoke out definitely on q certain specific issues and dem- onstrated his possession of some of the political shrewdness and courage age which his friends always have claimed for him. O-Landon made a subtle but em- Q phatic appeal to Roman Cath olic voters in New York and other urban centers as part of a carefully planned republican effort to per- suade Roman Catholics that their parochial schools stand in danger because of the iInplicati ons of New Deal philosophy.
 N-Landon's speech at West Mid-
 8 dlesex was sour from vote standpoint. His speech at Chautau- qua was an honest and courageous effort to serve notice on progressives that he is really a liberal. His speech at Buffalo was the best-at least from a political standpoint-that he has yet made.
 E-The Chautauqua speech, his eD friends say, was partly an effort by Landon to counteract heavy dem- ocratic propaganda based on the ef- feet of Landon's budget-balancing on Kansas schools.
 N-At Buffalo, according to neu- V tral observers on the sidelines, Landon dramatized the biggest and most effective issue the republicans have in their campaign-taxes and federal expenditures.

Unemployed Back Roosevelt

OeeSshAASsSds~N~ @~NgSAe Part of this reaction is due to the tremendous unemployment and re- lief problem in the southern third of the state. In Los Angeles county alone live AS per cent of the states population, and one out of every four are on relief of one kind or another. These unfortunates are resigned to a limited dole, and the one hope they look forward to is 8 bigg and better hand-out.
 More than S5 per cent of them are for Roosevelt,"'. man who knows the true unemployment situ- ation, and views 1t clarnly, said to me. ."And the same is~true of Sim clatr,s old EPIC followers. Most of the original 100000 who voted for Sinclair are back in the democratic ranks. l.. It's a two to one bet that Roosevelt will carry California by more than 300,000."
 In San Francisco and all North ern California Townsend is less strong than in the southern part but so is Roosevelt. In busy San Francisco class lines are somewhat tightly drawn--and these reflect di- rectlya on the coming election. Labor, as in every industrial < center, is strong for Roosevelt. Capital and conservative management and large business is violently against him.
 Time and again at union conven- tions there have been unanimous resolutions backing Roosevelt. Even those unions that are definite tinged with radical ideas are throwing all their weight to the President.

Townsend Plea Ignored

mia, centering about the sunny cities of San Diego and Los Angeles, the venerable doctor has literally tens of thousands of true believers who are being pleaded with to pass up their northumberland relief bene- fits, P. w. A. jobs, and social security under Roosevelt, and vote against him. But apparently only a rela- lively small proportion will do this. Most of them are too canny horse- traders to waste their vote on third party, and their mystic belief in Roosevelt persists despite their iri- dignation at the administration in permitting the Townsend investiga- ton. .....
 Tn San Diego County-where Townsendites claim 4O,O00 members "a determined drive to persuade the doctors followers to change their democratic registration before the August 18th primaries resulted in a total shift of exactly S84 votes. This left the democrats still 16,801 in the lead-64, ,792 registered demo- crats against 47,985 republicans. Ger tainly it proved that Dr. Townsend's inpassioned voice has little polit- ical magnetism when 1t comes to the presidential election. In the Congressional elections, however, a frightened man is the ambitious candidate who does not pledge him- self body and soul to the plan. Every Townsendite is a thorn in his side.
 Ordinarily election years are hec. tic times in California, and political fever runs as wide a range as the temperatures in the states snow. capped mountains and palm-fringed valleys.

 Despite the Townsend Coughlin Lemke combina- tion California is a five to one bet for Roosevelt.
 Most observers vary only in their estimates of the Roosevelt majority. These run from 25O,00O to more than 500,000 for Roosevelt.
 Townsend is going to desperate extremes to force his followers to turn from Roosevelt to Lemke-or even Landon. His personal bitter ness against Roosevelt apparently knows no bounds. His hate had been growing slowly for the past year but the Congressional investi- gation of the whole Townsend Plan organization set it off like a fire- cracker. Today in Dr. Townsend's own mind the defeat of Roosevelt is almost more important than the election of Townsend-pledged Con- gressmen.

Alien is Waterfront Leader

It is such action by more or less radical groups that send ,chills up and down conservative spines and turn them into Landon crusaders. In San Francisco and other West Coast cities the bare mention of the Long shoremen's Association or the Sea- mems Union calls up nightmares of the waterfront strike of the spring of 1884, when not top of shipping moved for sS days. And the thought of that strike inevitably brings up the name of Harry Bridges, who in the public mind was the real leader or those exciting days.
