am missing a high point, I hasten

individual chanting a litany of the

The radio audience gets fantastically
distorted presentation of what is ac-
tually going on"
This opinion was, I think, general
among reporters at the convention
that is among reporters who write,
especially those with experience. Will
liam Allen White saw the event as "a
most undramatic performance" He
saw much Of the proceedings as "high-
ly conventionalized archaic SYM
bolism. pure bunkum" He saw much
Of the applause and the marching in
the aisles as LESS and less spontaneous,
more and more phony each year."
Farley Reads Tabloid.
The radio descriptions gave the i'm
preston Of drama, tension, of a great
crowd deeply stirred. The facts we're
quite the contrary. During Senator
Robinson's delivery of his address as
permanent chairman, supposed to be
solemn and moving keynote of a
great party, the national chairman of
the party, Postmaster General Far
ley, sitting in a conspicuous position
on the stage, seen by all the delegates
and all the galleries, was turning the
pages of tabloid newspaper, with a
pleased smile at what one took to be
some photographs of himself One
could forgive him-he had had to
listen to a lot of political oratory.
During that same address a strange
interloper, DR.. Townsend, entered the
hall and found a seat among the
newspaper men, in front of the stage.
About the s200-a-month-f for the old
leader, to see If there was news in his
presence and to ask him questions,
gathered rather more reporters than
were listening to Senator Robinson.
Merely to mention the contrast be-
tween actuality and the radio accounts
is hardly worth while, unless some
thing can be said that is of value. The
lesson, 1t seems to me, Is that the two
groups concerned-public men and the
radio reporters who describe public
men and their performances-ough to
avoid increasing the amount of bunk
in the world.
Seams Now Exposed.
I have thought for some while that
one of the developments which ac-

our times is the increased access of the
public to the area we used to speak of
as behind the scenes" There isn't

Alarm Indicated.

The President expressed In his
letter to Gov. Lehman a fear that
various laws passed in the last four
years In New York State. would be
replaced, weakened or enforced by
people who had their tongues in their
cheeks" If Gov. Lehman were not
renominated and reelected.
The conclusion to be drawn politi-
cally is that Mr.. Roosevelt was
alarmed at the possibility that the loss
Of Gov. Lehman would weaken the
national ticket and that no other
New Deal Democrat could even carry
the governorship.
This virtual confession comedies
with the prevailing belief among
political observers that Mr.. Roosevelt
is not as strong in the Eastern States
as he was four years ago.
incidentally, the idea of putting
up a strong man for Governor doesn't
always mean that the national ticket
will win. too. In 1923, Alfred E.
Smith was very anxious to carry New
York State for the presidency, and
was to have a strong candidate for
Governor on the ticket with him So
ne likewise did some personal urging
and the man he sought to persuade
had strong personal reasons for not
wishing to run for office, reasons of
health. But Mr.. Smith was effective
and Franklin D. Roosevelt agreed
to run for Governor,
Roosevelt SKINNED Through.
In that year Mr.. Smith lost the
State by many hundreds of thousands
of votes, but Mr.. Roosevelt squeezed
through and became Governor bv
less than Is 900 majority.
Mr.. Roosevelt may or NAV not
like to consider that phrase he en-
ployed so frequently in his jackson
Gay address: History repeats" But
many people would be reminded of
what has happened in New York State
again and again, in fact, in 1924. when
Q Republican President carried New
York State, but AL Smith himself
was elected Governor by a big
majority
Whatever the outcome on the gov
ernorship, Mr.. Roosevelt's apprehen-
sion about Gov. Lehman reveals that
New York State is not ''in the bag"
but debatable ground.

Jackson a Possibility.

The natural query is why nobody
else in the Democratic party can be
depended upon to be elected Governor,
and, If elected. to maintain the pol
icies of the present Democratic ad-
ministration.
While this correspondent has often
differed with the publicly expressed
views of Robert H. Jackson. at present
an assistant attorney general. who has
been prominently mentioned for the
governorship. it can be stated posi-
lively that Jackson is an ardent New
Dealer and that. so far as New Deal
reformers are concerned. his heart is
In the right place" in the New Deal
Interpretation Of that phrase
There are others, no doubt, in the
Democratic party who would accept
Mr.. Roosevelt's concepts OF reform, If
not indeed, his direct orders.
Take James A. Farley, for instance.
who would rather be Governor of
New York than to hold his three
jobs-chairman of Democratic Ma
tional Committee. chairman of Demo-
cratic State Committee of New York
and Postmaster General.
Nobody in Washington, certainly
nobody in the New Deal, would as
sert for one moment that Jim Farley's
heart isn't in the right place"

Landon, Governor of Kansas, is
ready to meet Mr.. Roosevelt on his
tour of the drought-stricken states

When informed of Mr.. RoOsevelt's

mented quickly and characteristic
cally:,
"If there is any meeting, any
where at any time, of benefit to
Kansas. will attend as Governor
of Kansas. My work as Cover
nor of Kansas comes ahead of any
thing else am doing"
In other words. Mr.. Landon is
Governor before he is the candidate.
No doubt in that capacity he will be
able to contribute something praeti-
cally useful to the conference. He is
eonversant with condi-
tons in his own state. of course. and
knows something about neighbor

The Des Moines drought confer

called to give him q dramatic setting
after travelling through the stricken
northwest in an air-cOnditiODed spe-
cial train should remind all that the
fundamental test of a man still is
how he squares promise with per-
fOrmance
( Roosevelt has made one promise
after another to do for the drought
area just what every informed per-
son agrees is needed: LandOn has
promised nothing. but look at what
he has done in Kansas. He has help
ed farmers move cattle, he has
brought about reduced railroad rates
for such shipping. He has brought
them water for temporary relief. by
bringing about the cooperation OF
pipe line companies.
But more than that, he has BUILT /
dams; he has provided community |
wells: he has helped farmers build
ponds in which to store water. This
program was carried out while
Washington wasted money in
drought states building roads that
lead nowhere. or building bridges
approaches. That's the diff
between Landon and ROOse-
welt. LandOn is plain man, whose
'a6io voice is ridiculed by the hos
tile metropolitan press. but he has
done a job for the Kansas farmers r.
\ which speaks louder than words.
