 Hamilton's trouble b coming from right inside the republican party. And though nothing is being said publicly, it B causing some of the higher-upS c little worry.
 Hamilton b getting t from pro- gresslVe republican leaders on one side, from old Guard ooPers on the other.
 In the Middle
 Some of Landon's best friends and Stnunchcst supporters are pro. gressiveR of the William Allen White class, none too keen about Hamilton. They get along with him on the surface but keep their fingers crossed underneath the table. They can't forget the fact that he was c pet pupil of Dave Mulvane, who was to KanSaS what Charley Murphy was to TamT1lany. slashing at Hamilton'S coat-tails on the other side are two very effective old duArderG--Charley Hilies, National Committeeman from New York and J. Henry Roraback, who occupies tho same position in Connecticut. At ono time Charley and Henry were TO" ported to have put in 6 quiet oar to prevent Hamilton'g appoint ment a8 National chairman.
 At any rate no love is now lost between them, though it probably won't make any of them vote for Roosevelt.
 Strange BedfellowS
 During his recent trip east, Father Charles Coughlin told friends that the week prior to Herbert Hoover'B speech at the republican convention in ClcVe- land, he received two ong-distance telephone calls from the ex-prcSi- dent.

 New Deal agricultural chiefs are hopping mad at the accusation. with great indignation they insist it is not true, and as evidence or non -partisanship cite these facts l:
 Lee M. Gentry, chairman or the Illinois Conservation Commit tee, administering the new soil conservation act in that state, is the former manager of ex-oov- ernor Frank o. Lowdens model farm. Gentry also had charge or the Illinois corn-hog program un- der the old AAA. /
 Julien Friant
 R. M. Evans, one of the execu- tiycs of the Iowa soil conserva- ton administration, is Q promin- ent republican whose name was mentioned as a 6. o. ?. candidate for senator.
 Further, the administration Ites point out, the officials of the county committees arc elect ed locally by the farmers them selves. If there is any politics, they say, 1t comes from the farmers.
 NOTE-Big Jim Farley may not have named any of the top- rung AAA officials in Washington or in the field, but many Q lowly clerk and stenographer owes his job to the intervention of Julien Friant, a Farley aide who was made special assistant to 5ecre- tary Henry Wallace.
 Radio Parties
