Platform Gives Trouble
For vice president some one &C
ceptable to Governor Landon will
be selected tomorrow or the next
day. 1t may be the New Eng
lander, Bridges. 1t may be George
Peek, who was a New Dealer him
self for a few minutes and then
got fed up. 1t may be Senator
Steiwer. 1t may be Edge, of New
Jersey. 1t may even be that in
comprehensive fellow, Borah.
Where the trouble lies is in the
platform roughhouse that is going
on right now.
Until Mr.. Borah came glooming
in to Cleveland, melancholy and
perhaps bitter over the collapse of
his own presidential aspirations,
the platform problem was not con-
sidered serious. There were diff
ficulties, of course; tricky, touchy
little problems in the way of
reconciling the views of the con-
sentative East and the liberal West
what to do about the farm issue,
the currency, relief and so on.
AS soon as the Landon man.
ayers heard that Borah was on the
warpath they sought him out to
see what they could do to please
him. They didn't need him to
nominate their man and they
don't now. But they were think
ing Of the good of the party
that it is well for brethren to dwell
together in unity.
1t is largely up to Borah; as a
great and respected Republican
leader, with strong following in
the West, as to whether the party
takes another beating or wins
back to power.
AS for Herbert Hoover, eX-PreSi-
dent, I say. the responsibility is
fully as great as that which falls
upon William E. Borah.

clamation! The tide is running
so powerfully today as the third
session of the convention awaits
the party platfor mthat all other
candidates have folded up their
tents like the well-known Arabs
and silently stole away.
Under the hot sun Of the
Kansan's nationwide popularity
they are fading like the lilies of
Easter. Vandenburg Of Michigan
has bowed to the inevitable and
has withdrawn. Colonel Knox,
and Senator Borah, the only other
aSpirants with sizeable followingS,
have followed suit-quit gracefully
while the quitting was good. The
small fry-the favorite sons are
tossing their hands into the dis
card. You can't beat four aces.
1t can't be done!
The assembling visitors and
delegates, thronging into conven-
ton hall have caught, already, by
the magic of speeding rumor, the
exciting news. In every State
delegation there is a group, heads
together, discussing the electrify-
ing flashes that come from the
two big hotels where the hopes of
Landon's rivals have given up the
ghost.

is one OF those whirling moments
of drama that comes now and
then to convert static into storm.
The topic that flies from every
tongue at this hour is the amaz
ing vitality of the Landon move
ment, which not only survived
the menace of Borah and Hoover
but went on, like a real cham
pion, to deliver the knockout
blow. Not that Senator Borah or
ex-President Hoover attacked the
Kansas Governor, but their ap-
pearance here-Borah's antago-
nistic attitude toward the Landon
platform and Hoover's spectacu-
lar appearance last night before
the convention-failed to make
thre slightest dent in Landon's
popularity with the great mass
of delegates.
Motives Battling
One will never know just what
was in Borah'S mind or HooVer'S
in staging their dramatic per
formances. Did both or eth n
cherish last minute hope that
the convention could be STAN
peded- away from Landon and to
one or the other? If so, it was
the vainest of hopes. Each has
maintained that he was inter
ested in principles rather than in
men. But human nature is hui
man nature, and either, and espe-
cially Herbert Dover, would
have been less than human had
he not entertained the possibility

something of q minor masterpiece.

Coward malice Is once more brilliantly
evident, and the poor visiting Co

of the Coward mockery. 1t Is the
shallow impoliteness of their host that
is held up to scorn. and English hos
pitality. which is fair game for any
one, is the chief sufferer from the
authors biting tongue.
IT Is clear that the humorous NAL

the overwhelming facility Of the Cow

cerity. This is chiefly true when the

moments of snobbishness and chau-

moving patriotic play that substituted
a becoming wistfulness for imperial

that. despite his earnestness and his
occasionally crusading spirit. Mr..
Coward's facility often becomes his
enemy rather than his ally. 1t gives
a glibness. smartness and a suavity
to his work which. although they are
admirable qualities in lighter plays,
