PROMISED LANDON
Governor Assured He viii

and New York.
Ry the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
TOPEKA, Kans., July 30.-Two
wyoming ranchmen, after conferring
with Gov. ALI M. Landon, predicted
TO-DAY he would carry their State.
There Is a tremendous sentiment
for Landon wherever there are stock
men," Elmer Brock ana Frank Horton
of Buffalo, Wyo., told reporters.
Predictions that Landon would carry
New York and Ohio were left with the
Republican presidential nominee by
William J. Donovan and William M.
Chadbourne Of New York, and Hubert
TAFT, editor of the Cincinnati Times
Star, who were luncheon guests of
the Governor yesterday.
Declared for Landon.
"Stockmen are for Landon," Brock
said, because of the antipathy of the
present administration to the live stock
industry. as shown by the reciprocal
trade agreements and the apparent
desire to import South American beef
despite the danger of. possible infection
from the hoof-and-mouth disease"
Brock termed the amended Taylor
grazing act dangerous"
"The act is not so bad as the ad-
ministration of it," Horton said.
THE President" Brock added, Gin
his statement of approval of the Tay-
lor grazing law said: The authority
to exercise these powers is carefully
safeguarded against impairment by
Stotn 1nnol ontino Crootinv, nf
grazing district by the Secretary Of
the Interior and the PRONUNCIATION of
rules and regulations respecting it will
supersede State regulations of grazing
on that part of the public domain in
cluded in such district
THE President said this in face of
the fact that the act was sold to
stockmen on the basis that they would
have local autonomy.
I'VE are for Landon," Brock con-
tinued. Because he shows the proper
respect for State rights and doesn't
care to have everything brought under
the Federal Government
Donovan, who was Gov. Herbert H
Lehman's Republican opponent in
1882. said "jobs" were the chief issue
in his home, Buffalo, N. Y, where
Landon will speak next month.
Itinerary Not Announced.
Landon's itinerary and subjects have
not been announced.
Landon's schedule was light today.
He had noon appointment with a
delegation of representatives of peace
organizations, accompanied by Sena-
tor Arthur Capper of Kansas. The
group included Dorothy Deter. secre-
tary of the Women's International
League for Peace and Freedom, and
Mrs. Raymond Clapper, secretary of
the Peoples Mandate to Governments
to End War.
The Kansas Governor will go to
Fort Riley Saturday to review the an

sofa lake lands.
Black rivers fringed with verdure.
black lakes in forests of evergreen and
white birches, brown fields with irreg-
ular lines of wheat shocks like spikes
on Roman soldiers bronze shield,
fields like green carpets worn thread
bare, narrow fields the color of old
marble gravestones with thin sugges-
tions of green like moss creeping over
them
It's rich. beautiful land 10000 feet
below the westward-speeding plane.
THE land of the sky-blue water" But
the malevolent spell of the drought is
upon it. Its green is dulled, its gold
smoke-smudged.
Rather abruptly, as the plane nears
Fargo. the scene changes, and from
horizon to- horizon under the cloud
less sky stretches the vast barren
drought desert of rolling hills and
prairie. So far as the eye can see
there is no suggestion of green except
for rare thin scrawls of verdure along
what few weeks ago were streams
and these scrawls look for all the
world like the crayon scribblings Of
some cosmic baby using the face of
the earth as slate.
Titanic Sweep of Disaster.
One must see the drought from
above to appreciate the titanic sweep
of the disaster which has fallen upon
the wheat and grazing country of the
Northwest this Summer. Below one
notes now and then black bug crawl
ing along a road and realizes that the
persons riding in this black Dug can't
be getting true impression of what
has happened, for their vision is re-
stricted to mile or so and distorted
by the variation in detail which is
wiped out for the observer up above.
The land looks like a vast plaza
paved with stone slabs of various
colors, shapes and sizes, some whole
and some broken with jagged edges.
Grotesquely out of place seem the
widely separated white houses with
their big red barns, now empty of hay
and of stock They would seem as
appropriate in the middle Of the
Sahara. The titan drought has them
in his grasp and is crushing them and
the yolk and white of life
out of them.
The drought imps have drawn queer
pictures in black, brown and purple
on the titanic paving stones, Just as
children draw pictures with chalk on
sidewalk. There Is a great black blood
hound ready to spring at its prey.
There are outlines of Cretaceous mon
sters, like picturizations of inherent
memories passed on to this drought |
from its ancestral droughts of the
old time. There are blackish blotches

He didn't stay long," she continued. His purpose was to scare me into silence before I had chance to talk to anybody. You keep your mouth shut tight he threatened, and everything will be all right. But if you should take Q notion to blab anything you may imag- ine-that would be your finish. Remember that you were the last person seen with the man that got killed. A tip to the police with the name of the theater you were at last night would do the trick With that threat, he left--and re- turned the next day-when you saw him. He thought that you were a detective"

 She opened her reticule, that was attached to Q belt at her waist, wide enough for me to see Q shining revolver. T keep this handy for my own protection against hinl--and I know how to use it," was her answer.
 I tried to persuade her to let me go with her to the police, but she said 1t would mean her death, for if this fiend's crazy infatuation was changed to hate-he would search the world to find her and Kill her. If could bring my kind friend back to life," she said, T would run any personal risk; but as that is iynpossible-I must now act for my own safety"
 She told me that she had sold her lease and furniture to 8 new tenant--with the consent of the Insurance Company; that her small luggage was at the New York Central station, and that she would leave the house in 8 few minutes just as she was with out anything to attract atten- ton.
 I have never seen or heard of her since. but after all these years, if by any chance she should see this artcile-r hope that she will not feel that I have betrayed her confidence.

He was the con- fldant of one of the principals in the case, but at that time was pledged to secrecy. As the various characters have passed on MT.

THERE was a cOmmotion at the

Mr.. Martin was standing in front of
Yo-Yo, making hideous faces. Now

tin as he caught Yo-Yo's chin and
damned it up until it reached his
nose. 'You gotta look ferocious
when you wrestle," he explained.
Bud Parmelee, the big righthand-
ed pitcher who came to the, rCardi-
nails in trade with the Giants, was
silent and bewildered spectator of
the mugging exercises between Mr..
Martin and Yo-Yo. He hasn't been
with the Gashouse Boys long enough
yet to get the true spirit.
"All this club needs is a tent and
calliope," smiled Mr.. Parmelee.
tits a circus in every other sense"
1t was about time to take the field
for an exhibition game.
Mr.. Frisch yelled for Yo-Yo. Call
the ROLL" he demanded. Yo-Yo
pulled a book out of his pocket.
"Frisch," he sang out. Here"
answered Frisch. Martin" Here"
And so on until. the full roster had
reported Here"
r STILL had not gotten Mr.. Frisch's
L views on his club and on the
race in general, and so I followed
the men to the dugout. Mr.. Dizzy
Dean said he wanted to pitch a
couple of innings. tYou go to the
outfield and run around until you
drop" ordered Mr.. Frisch. We'll,
just let me pitch against you in bat
ting practice, will you, Pappy?"
pleaded Mr.. Dizzy Dean. Il like
to hear your old bones creak." Mr.
Frisch picked up bat and Mr.. Dizzy
Dean scurried for the outfield.
I finally got Mr.. Frisch to talk
for a moment. We'll, you've seen
the kind of club we are. We are
just as liable to wind up in first
place, or in Matteawan-maybe both,
if we're lucky"
In closing it is pleasure to re-
