cially good showing.
BY the end of August Mr.. Roosevelt
is slated to be starting his campaign
trips in earnest. 1t is possible he may
60 even as far West as California be-
cause the New Deal strategists are IN
tent on sweeping the Pacific States.
Particular attention is to be paid to
the region from Illinois through New
York. 1t is on these States that the
newly organized pro-Roosevelt labor
organization of Maj. George L. Berry
and John L. Lewis will concentrate.
Active campaigning is natural with
Mr.. Roosevelt. When he first ran for
Governor of New York he brushed
aside suggestions that he be content
with the radio and instead made one
of the most arduous campaigns by
automobile He likes to travel, and
friendly speeches to local gatherings
come easily to him. 1t is possible that
automobile as well as train trips will
figure in his coming national cam
paign.

While some criticism was heaped
on Great Britain for 'Flaxity' toward
Adolf Hitler's violation of the Locarno

State Convention Voices
"Confidence in Fitness"
of KanSan.
by the Associated Press.


ROANOKE, Va, April l1.-Virginia
Republicans. without instructing dele
gates, today expressed confidence in
fitness" of Gov. ALI M. Landon OF
Kansas for President. declined to on
pose United States Senator Carter
Glass, veteran Democrat and cheered
and applauded two vigorous attacks
on the Roosevelt administration.
State Chairman Hollie B. McCormac
of Winchester. Henry w. Anderson of
Richmond. Mai. Henry A. Wise of
Kiptopeke and H. L. Lawson of Roam
oke, all recommended by the Nomina-
tions Committee, were named the
four delegates at large to the national
convention in Cleveland June 8. after
a short contest on the floor.
Platform Adopted.
A 14-plank platform. dealing with
national affairs exclusively, was
adopted by viva voca vote. 1t as
serted belief of the Republican party
that the essential and all-embracing
issue" in the 1886 campaign lis
whether we shall restore and main
tain our American system of social
organization and free government or
accept the dictatorship of the New
Deal with all its implications.
The platform echoed the words OF
It. x. Parsons of Roanoke. the key
note speaker, who told the conven-
ton that the sole issue in the CAM
paign was whether the Roosevelt poll
cies were to be continued. Parsons
criticism of the New Deal during the
morning was followed by an equally
vigorous attack upon the administra-
ton during the afternoon by Repre-
sentative Theodore Christianson, for
mer Governor of Minnesota.
Four Votes Instructed.
Sentiment to seek instruction OF
the at-large delegates for Landon
went no further than the resolution
expressing confidence in his fitness,
which was adopted Overwhelmingly
without a recorded vote. Virginia has
II votes in the national convention
and four of them-those of eighth
and ninth district delegates - are
pledged to Landon, while others will
go uninstructed.
The text of the resolution adopted
was as follows:
Resolved. that without in any way
instructing the delegates at large to
the national convention we desire to
express our admiration for the many
fine qualities of Hon. ALI NJ Landon
of Kansas and to express our conf
dence in his fitness for the office of
President of the United States.
No Other Names Up.
Names of several other aspirants
for the Republican presidential NOM
ination did not come before the con-
vention. Col. Henry w. Anderson of
Richmond. who was chairman of the
Resolutions Committss. was one of the
leaders outspoken for an uninstructed
delegation.
Chairman Henry P. Fletcher Of the
Republican National Committee sent
a telegram to State Chairman Nc
Cormac asserting that prospects for
a sweeping victory grow steadily" and
that the country is looking for Vir-
ginia to repudiate and retire an ad-
ministration which has been recreant
to the trust and traditions of the Old
Dominion"

gesture that has passed between
the two men, who once were close
political and personal friends,
since Smith broke with the New
Deal.
The announcement was made
at Smiths office in the Empire
State building. He was not pres
ent. His assistants made public
this telegram:
"Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt,

ter the time was definitely re-
served over the Blue network OF

pany.
"Since then announcement mas
been made of your intention to

sneak for an hour-between $3.50
and 1880 p. m.-and that all OF
