TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. 20
G.N.SO The American people
are determined to lend personal
government in Washington with
its squandering of our resources,
its waste, extravaganza and in
competence" Governor Alfred M.
Landon declared today as he re-
turned to State duties following
q seven-day tour of the farm belt.
The Republican nominee i'm
mediately announced he would de-
part next week on his fourth cam
paign trip-a second invasion of
the East-with major addresses in
Chicago October 9, Cleveland
October IL, and Detroit October
IA. At Chicago, he will discuss
the question Of balancing the
Federal budget, which he pledged
in his speech accepting the Re-
publican presidential nomination.
Enthusiasm Gratifying
Landon was highly pleased with
enthusiastic receptions given him
on his tour through Iowa, Min
nesota, Wisconsin, Illinois and
Missouri. At every stop, friendly
throngs greeted him. His major
addresses in Des Moines, Mime
apolis and Milwaukee won him
thousands of congratulatory mes
sageS.
Promising to continue his
fighting campaign" for the presi-
dency, Landon said:
"Travel during the past week
through the corn belt and the
dairy States of the Middle West
leads to the conclusion that
there has developed in these
States a determination to end
personal government in Wash
ingtOn with it's squandering of
our resources, its waste, ex-
travagance and incompetence.
"The farmers, the dairy men,
and the industrial workers in
Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Wis
COnSin and Illinois, regardless
of party lines, are deeply con-
cerned, as they should be, with
the problems of government
and the future of the country.
They not only are disturbed but
aroused by the tendencies of
the present national AdminiStra-
ton.
"The farmers are aware that
the Administration agriculture
policies penalize plenty and re-
ward scarcity and have robbed
them of foreign markets and
home markets as well. The
dairymen know their markets
have been turned over to for
eign producers. The workers re-
alize that they have been made
the victims, under the cloak Of
social security, of cruel hoax
in the form of the largest tax
bill in history.
"The people are in fighting
mood. There will be no slack
ening in the campaign. shall
leave on another campaign trip
next week with speeches in Chi
cagO October 9, in Cleveland
October IL, and in Detroit Oc-
tOber a."
Back at his gubernatorial desk
Landon concerned himself with
State duties.
Drought Report Ready
His drought relief organization
was ready to report they had vir-
tually eliminated drought suffer
ing in Kansas, although some
farmers still need winter feed for
their herds.
His advisers meanwhile were
working upon the itinerary of his
coming swing through Illinois,
Ohio and Michigan The tour may
be extended to include Oklahoma
City and other Oklahoma points
prior to the Chicago visit.
There was possibility, too, that
Landon would attend the Ohio
State University of Pittsburgh
football game at Columbus, Oc-
tober 10. The governor, an ardent
football fan, told his friends he
would like to view this game.
