farmers and voice opposition to
the Roosevelt administration re-
ciprocal trade policy. Protection
for American farm products was
urged.
The governor stated his views
on some of the suggestions during
an informal discussion, and said
that other points would be taken
up in his coming speeches.
At Syracuse, screaming whistles
and sirens greeted the governor.
Red flares marked the streets his
train crossed in the city, crowds
were grouped at every crossing.
Auto horns joined in the scream
of welcome. The governor stood
on the back platform, waving. A
truck that followed the train
through the streets threw two
huge floodlights on the governor.
In the business district huge
crowd jammed around the train
and whistles and loud speakers
Joined the uproar. The train
stopped as it passed in street-car
fashion along tracks on a business
street.
Landon. dressed in his familiar
gray suit, spoke less than Is min
utes at Albany. A brass band
played before and after his
speech. A parade of several thou
sand persons marched to the sta
ton with the band playing "Oh
Susannah," his campaign song,
and other popular tunes.
This greeting was the climax to
trip across New England and
the first of five speeches Landon
will make in politically important
New York as he returns home af-
ter an election eve speech in
Maine.
The throng howled, roared and
whistled a wild welcome to Lam
don as he paid tribute to "a great

Roosevelt.
"The great crowds that have
greeted US are a sign of interest
of the people in good govern
ment," Landon said.
unemployment still remains
our great problem. We can have
no prosperity until this problem is
ended.
Landon quoted from a state
ment made by Theodore Roosevelt
when he was governor of New
York state that Americans are a
people of two classes: the govern
ing and the governed. Personally
l am for the former"
Earlier the nominee spoke brief
ly in Pittsfield, Mass. He said:
"In the last few years | have
read of and have been much in
terested in the growth of the Ok
ford Group in this country. l wish
that l might have a longer time
here in Pittsfield, because your
town has become the permanent
center of the Oxford movement
for the practical application in
our daily lives of Divine guidance,
which we all need so much"
Crossing New England, Landor
spoke on flood control in an area
ravaged by raging waters last
spring. He asserted flood control
should be linked with a soil con,
servation program for relief OF
drouth areas and the two projects
would provide genuine employ,
ment" which he contrasted with
"makeshift jobs"
Good land use plans, Landon
charged, were "pigeon-holed" by
the Roosevelt administration.
After a fifteen minute stop in
Albany, Landon's train, half an
hour behind schedule, sped up the
Mohawk Valley with stops SEIZED
uled at Schenectady, Utica, SYRIA
cuse and Rochester.
A group of prominent Repub-
licans including State Chairman
Melvin C. Eaton and former Gov.
Nathan L. Miller, greeted Landon
at the Albany station.
Keeping closely in touch with
results of the Maine election, the
Kansas governor followed a three
stop schedule in New Hampshire
and Massachusetts.
owe have much in common"
Gov. Landon told the crowds that
cheered him along the way. "For
instance, we have in common the
all-time record public debt. l do
not blame the administration for
trying to hide behind a non-politi-
cal campaign plea when it has to
defend the record of the last three
years."
Again, he told the fasteners
that there was a common bond in
pressing an energetic program of
federal-state cooperation to save
the East from too much water in
flood time and the West from the
scourpe of too little water in
