BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Plans for the national political
campaign are fast rounding into
shape, despite the fact that the Re-
publican nominee for President, Gov.
ALT M. Laudon of Kansas, has still to
make his acceptance speech.
That speech, which will be the first
campaign document OF the Republi-
can candidate, is expected to deal
in broad outline with the philosophy
of government for which he and the
Republican party stand President
Roosevelt, in his acceptance speech
at Franklin Field, did as much for
the New Deal Democrats.
Landon's speech is to be delivered
in the heart of the great agricultural
West-a setting very different from
that which President Roosevelt faced
in Philadelphia. However, like the
acceptance speech of the President,
Gov. Landon's address will be broad
cast by air and via the press to every
section of the country.
Both of the major party candidates
are expected to be active in the COM
ing campaign. Both will swing across
the country. President Roosevelt al
ready is widely known to the people
Of every section. Gov Landon still
remains something of an enigma.
There is no slightest doubt that the
people are anxious to see him and to
form their own estimate. The chair
man Of the Republican National Com
mittee, John Hamilton, already has
travelled far and made a number of
political speeches. The battle, how
ever. lies between Roosevelt and Lam
dou in the last analysis.
Many Speakers Enrolled.
Both parties will have a long list
of speakers in the aeld. The Republi-
can vice presidential candidate, Col
Frank Knox, is expected to be active
on the stump. Vice President Gar
ner, unless he abandous the role which
he accepted and maintained during
the last campaign, is more likely to
be silent partner of the Democratic
ticket. Senator Arthur H. Vanden-
berg Of Michigan. undoubtedly will
carry a good deal of the campaign
burden for the Republicans And the
Republican high command has by no
means abandoned hope that when
the campaign is well under way, Seu-
ator Borah Of Idaho, most effective
campaigner. will do his full share. 1t
is fact that Rorsh would like to
campaign for the Republican ticket
provided it does not undertake to
make a majcr issue of return to the
gold standard.
vandenberg, speaking In Grand
Rapids last night. undertook to take
apart the democratic national plat
form and the democratic presidential
candidate. He dubbed the opposition
"the Roosevelt party" which he said,
Knocks the American system that was
proclaimed on our first Fourth of
July, and which aims at collective
society controlled from Washington. +"
His speech marked the opening of the
Michigan campaign. Vandenberg.
however, will by no means confine
his campaign to his home State.
The next month or two will find
both parties actively engaged in or
ganization work. Chairman James A.
Farley of the Democratic National
Committee has already done a tre-
mendous amount of this necessary
spade work for the campaign. Chair
man Hamilton will be travelling from
State to State from the present until
