 Tho question is regarded as of gsaoramount importance because the present political setup makes It necessary for Landon to give some indication of his availability to his packers.
 It ig almost certain that eventu- ally he will be candidate because ne has allowed his friends to boom him continuously for seven months and at no time did ho announce lnc would not run.
 If Landon does toss his hat into the ring, it is believed 1t will be done through an tack on the New Neai rather than any outright an. nouncement.

Landon received national attention. The first was by Harry Hopkins. federal relief director, who charged that Kansas, hasn't contributed Q thin dime toward relief"
 John c. StutE, Kansas relief di- rector appointed by the Democra- tic administration, defended Lam don by showing figures, previously approved by Hopkins, that Kansas ranked among the first l7 states in relief.
 The second attack was by Smith w. Brookhart, former United States Senator from Iowa, who charged Landon with being Q standard oil candidate"
 This time the Kansan was de. fended by friends who pointed out that in his 26 years as an indepen- dent oil producer he never sold oil stock or belonged to 6 company and that once he successfully or- Ranized Q fight of independent pro- ducers against the company.
 Landon has gained much of his national attention through his bal- ancing the state budget by unusual legislative acts, and his sponsorship of the "pay.as-you-go" system Of conducting public office. His chief criticism of New Dealers then and now is they never had to meet . Saturday night payroll"

HOWE ON JOB AGAIN

This line of reasoning is said to
be, not so much Democratic Ma
tional Chairman land Postmaster
General James A. Farley's, as Col
onel Louis McHenry Howe's.
The colonel. chief White House
secretary and most trusted presi-
Dental adviser. has sufficiently re-
covered from his illness of the last
few months to be devoting an hour
or two a day to 1896 campaign
strategy.
The story is that he thinks Far
ley has bungled.
1t is act that Farley made
some bad predictions concerning To-
cal elections of 1895, notably in New
York and Pennsylvania. The DEM
ocrats lost where he said they would
win.
Recent straw polls have taken an
anti-New Deal direction. They may
have no real significance, but they
are poor Democratic propaganda.
Howe also is understood to regret
that the brain trust" ever was al
lowed to be tagged onto the admin
istration. Not much of it is left
now, but il continues to be adver-
tised.
The colonel is doing his best to
counteract the effects OF what he
considers such errors.

ALL COWS In
COUNTY WILL
UNDERGO TEST

Every family COW in Imperial
county as we'll as every dairy herd
will be tested in an effort to OBJ
tain federal generalization by July
/. thus making this area free Of
tuberculin infected dairy cattle,
according to DR.. John G. Pace,
Cunty veterinarian. who is working
with four federal veterinarians in
testing the animals.
DR.. II. T. Cook of the bureau Of
animal industry is in charge OF
the test which began early this
month. The test is expected to
BE- completed within six weeks or
two months as additional veteri-
narians are to- be added to the
group working in the county. APP
proximately 10000 head of cattle
must be tested.
The tests were made first on
the herds believed to contain in
fected cattle and other
the test complete and prevent
spread Of the disease, every fam
ily COW will be tested. Even though
the milk from family COWS may
not be sold, Pace said, an infected
COW is a potential spreader.
Government indemnity still IS
being paid on reactors up to $25,
Pace said. and in addition, the
Cwner gets the price of the beef.
II reactors are found at dairy
ranch or in a family herd, Pace
said. the premises must be cleaned
and disinfected before indemnity
claims may be made to the govern
,:!ent.
Imperial county now is reaping
some benefit from the test the
veterinarian pointed out, as the
sale Of COWS is bringing fair
price and benefits are available
on the Los Angeles cream market.

ing found at this time.

= HOWE REASONS
BY CHARLES STEWART

WASHINGTON, D. c. - Roose-
ventian leadership, it is rumored,
practically has abandoned hope OF
winning business support of its
presidential candidate at the COM
ing election, but is concentrating
upon the task of capturing almost
the solid vote of the commonest of
the common people.
Business is improving but bust
mes men don't seem to thank the
administration for it. Contrawise,
the more it improves, the more, ap-
parently, they resent government
interference with their efforts to
make the most of the improvement
The White House, from all accounts.
has about arrived at the conclusion
that folk like the members of the
American Liberty league, the United
States Chamber of Commerce and
the National Association of Manu-
facturers are irreconcilable in their
attitude toward New Deal policies.
But, after all, agriculture and the
industrial masses are in vast ma
jority over the select element of the
voters. If President Roosevelt can
consolidate such a bulk Of the cleo
torate under his banner, he can do
without the comparative few in
transigents.
