DUE

0. K. TODAY

Developments in the Republican political
front today LUere:
Governor ALT M. Landon became the as
sured Republican candidate for President to-
day with the withdrawal of his three chief RI
vals Senator Arthur Fl. Vandenberg of Mich
igan, Senator William z. Borah of Idaho, and
Col. Frank Knox, Chicago publisher.
Senator Borah early today conceded the
nomination to Governor Landon, and Senator
Vandenberg instructed his delegation not to
present his name as candidate.
A strongly national policy appeared in the
shaping of the party's platform. The League
of Nations and all foreign entanglements were
to be emphatically avoided.
Republicans throughout the country today
echoed the sentiments of former President
Herbert Hoover, who warned of the danger Of
Fascism and dictatorship in America unless
freedom in private enterprise is Immediately
restored.
A fusion of Republicans and Jacksonian
Democrats was indicated in high Republican
circles.

And finally came Col. Frank
Knox, Chicago publisher, who
issued a statement to the effect
that the country is facing a crisis
and that the national welfare re-
quireS complete harmony in the
Republican party to the end
that a Republican administration
should succeed the New Deal in
Washington. He thereupon re-
leased those delegates who were
committed to him, some hundred
in number.
The utter collapse of any SEM

hours after ex-President Herbert

DEMOCRAT
VOTERS
Open Bid Is Made to
Those Dissatisfied

BY EDWARD B. LOCKETT

CLEVELAND, June II QN.S).
The Republican party's leaders
have agreed to make 8 frank
open bid for the votes of "Jef'
fersonian Democrats" in the
Presidential elections next fall.
This was learned by Interna-
tional News Service today as ses-
sionS of a drafting subcommittee
Of the platform committee con-
cluded work.
Not only will the party ask
for the votes Of the Democrats
who oppose President ROOSEVELT
New Deal-they will promise to
give them a place in their coun-
ellis if Gov. ALI Landon Of Kan
sas should be elected President.
Three men, and strangely
enough, all Of them old-guard Re
publicans, were responsible for in
Sertion into the platform which
the resolutions subc ommittee
drafted, Of the declaration for a
Democratic vote bid. They were
former Senator Walter Edge of
New Jersey, former Senator
David A. Reed Of Pennsylvania,
and the Texas National Commit
teeman r. B. Creager. Creager
said:
IT have been advised that the
subcommittee has agreed to the
insertion Of a plank asking for
Democratic votes. We believe
that there are . great many
Democrats who are disguised
with the present regime, and
who want the Republican party
the American party, to repudi-

The grand jury termed the plant a

taken against the company when it
promised to shut down its plant here

Rapid growth of Alexandria and

DEATH COMPACT REVEALED.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, April IA CP)
One phase of the eerie life-after-
death compact between the late Harry
Houdini and his wife was revealed fol
the first time yesterday.
The magician's widow explained il
when she was informed of the death
Of Howard Thurston, celebrated nee
romancer. Tnurston was an intimate
friend of Houdini's, she said, and one
of the few persons with whom he prom
ised to try and communicate after life
left him, nearly 10 years ago.
She displayed two sets of brass
handouts.
"It has never been told before" she
said, but part of the agreement Mr.
Houdini made with me stipulated that
these handouts should be opened
presumably by his spirit-in the pres
ence of committee of persons.
True, he was to try and deliver a
message, in code, that he gave me be-
fore his death.
But to make it absolutely certain,
he said he would open those cuffs,
too, after his death. He was afraid
some one might. in some way, discover
the message, which only I know. But
even so, the demonstration could not
be completed without opening the
handouts"
Thurston she said she believed, was
the last living man capable of unclasp-
ing them-even with the keys. She
said she had hidden the keys where
they will never be found"
The cuffs are kept behind small
shrine in her home. Houdinis last
picture is framed inside. Overhead,
light burns. 1t has never been extin-
guished since Houdini died.
