CLEVELAND, June 13.-The text OF
Gov. ALI M. Landon's telegram to the
Republican National Convention pre-
dieting victory in the 1886 campaign
follows:
Hon. Bertrand H. Smell. chairman
of Republican National Convention
Cleveland, Ohio.
Mr.. Chairman and delegates of the
Republican party assembled in ma
tional convention:
THE message conveyed by the tele-
gram from the convention moves me
deeply. When the summons of which
it tells is duly delivered I shall re-
spond and, humbly relying upon Him
in whom is the source of all true
strength, shall take the responsible
ity. You have given me heart to face
this responsibility by the splendid
work you have done in your conven-
ton.
Deliberations Show Courage.
"Your deliberations are the living
proof that there are men and women
able enough and brave enough to see
the facts of our national problems and
to meet them in the American way.
This is the spirit inherent in our
party name. The Republican party
Of Thomas Jefferson was dedicated to
establish the rights and institutions of
free men upon this continent. The
Republican party of Abraham Lincoln
was dedicated to the maintenance Of
a government of the people, by the
people and for the people. You have
dedicated the Republican party of to-
day to giving new life and reality to
these eternal principles in the light of
changing needs and conditions.
LET us accept all of the obliga-
tions Of this legacy and unite to make
it serve as noble a purpose in our
time as ever it served in the times
out of which the earlier Republican
parties were born.
I'VE shall succeed by bringing to
our task the same devotion to human
welfare and the common good which
inspired those in whose steps we now
follow

elected chairman" and also that
Landon had suggested the appoint
ment of "Sizeable committee to come
to Topeka and consult with him in re-
gard to the filling of other Offices"
Charles D. Hilles OF New York,
veteran member of the National Com
mittee, who has frequently been called
an opponent of the selection of Hamil
ton for national chairman, promptly
rose and nominated the Kansan for
chairman.
i have very great pleasure in
nominating for chairman the Hon.
John Hamilton" said HilleS. There
were seconds from all parts of the
meeting room. The nominations
were closed and Hamilton was de-
clared to be unanimously elected.
The Republicans, many of them,
left Cleveland yesterday, still wonder
ing just what had happened to pre-
vent the nomination of Senator Ar
thur H. Vanderberg of Michigan, to
be the running mate of Gov. Alfred M.
Landon.
The fact of the matter is that Van
denberg would not have turned down
the nomination for Vice President had
the convention undertaken to draft
him. He would have accepted. This
notwithstanding the note he had
written to Chairman Bertrand H.
Smell of the National Convention ask
ing him to withdraw Vandenberg's
name if it were placed in nomination.
There was nothing in the note that
prevented his acceptance in case Of
vote by the National Convention NOM
mating him.
The difficulty which faced the Lam
don leaders, many of whom favored
the selection of the Michigan Sena-
tor, lay in the complicated situation
that would have arisen had they in
sisted upon making drive for VAN
denbergs nomination in the face Of
the note read to the convention by
Smell, in which Vandenberg asked to
have his name withdrawn if it were
proposed.
With the convention in it's final
session and restive, the Landon lead
ers finally threw up their hands, ap-
parently, and let matters go. Col.
Frank Knox, Walter E. Edge of New
Jersey, Gov. Harry w. Nice of Mary
land, and Col. Arthur w. Little of
New York, were all placed in nomina-
ton, and no more was said on the
floor of the convention about Venden-
berg. Up until the last minute, Mich
igan's delegation was ready to go for
ward with a drive for nomination of
Vendenberg, but the moment had
passed. The nomination of Knox for
second place was made unanimous.
The members of the National Com
mittee selected as subcommittee to
confer with Gov Landon at Topeka

REJECTION ASKED.
FOR GUYER BILL
Commissioners Act in Re-
sponse to Inquiry by Chair
man Norton.

Responding to an inquiry from
Chairman Norton of the House Dis
trict Committee, the Commissioners
yesterday asked that the Guyer bill
to dry up the Capital be rejected.
At the same time they forwarded
their recommendation to the National
Emergency Council in compliance with
the gag" order that prevents their
supporting or opposing pending legis-
lation until 1t is passed upon, to see
If it conforms with the policies Of the
President.
The bill would prohibit the manu-
facture, transportation, sale or pos
session of alcoholic beverages except
natural wine for religious services and
ethyl alcohol for medicinal ues.
"The Commissioners recommend
that the bill be not enacted" Commits
sioner Melvin c. Hazen advised Mrs.
Norton. "The question Is whether the
present method of permitting the sale
of alcoholic beverages under govern
mental regulation should be continued,
or whether it should be repealed. Since
the present law was enacted upon
the recommendation of the present ad-
ministration, and since it has been in
effect only for a short period and,
generally speaking. is operating salts
factorily, the Commissioners are op-
posed to its repeal"
When announcement of the decision
was made yesterday, John B. Ham
mond, veteran member of the United
Dry Forces, issued statement point
ing out that similar action had pre-
viously been made by the Commits
sioners and that repetition of the
action was done Ito scare the tenn
