no campaign pledge promises whatsoever, and in

there is every to believe that the editor will

PUT even if it were possible for Landon to disown
ID his discoverer- maybe inventor is the better
word-why should he? Could any good friend of the
budget baancer advise him to fall out of the arms
of Hearst and into the lap of Fletcher?
Up till the Governor has fair cause of
complaint. The great editor paid him the unusual
compliment of going to Topeka in person and park
ing his fleet of private almost at the Landon
doorstep. To be sure it dangerous proceeding.
1t might have filled the Kansan with decisions of
grandeur, but everybody from Hearst up has pointed
out that Landon is man of hard. practical COM
sense.
So far the king maker and the Kansas eaglet have
conversed but briefly. There was no need for any
extended talk. After ALL Mr. Hearst has been ex-
tremely articulate in recent months. Gov. Landon

reading the editorial pages and the news columns
He will learn in time to know which is which. 1t
is all as simple that
The ease and democratic nature of the relation
ship between the great editor and the Governor
should be emphasized because in the heat of the
campaign mud may be thrown and things
said. The suggestion is sure to be made that some
sort Of deal has been arranged and that Mr. Hearst
wants to be Secretary of State ambassador to the
Soviet Republics.
Very Simple Requirements
THERE'S nothing in that Gov Landon, if he
l. makes it, will be free to say and do almost any,
thing he peases. This is particularly rue in the
matter of saying. Speeches about "the common
man" and 1.-The dignity of labor and things of that
sort will go wholly unrebuked He may even talk
about peace" without let or hindrance.
There isn't any catch. believe Mr.. Hearsts
quirements of Landon would be very simple. He
would want tax program calculated to protect the
rich. He would want labor policy aimed at smash
ing trade unioniSm and he would ask for a terror
to drive liberalism out of the schools and colleges
The rest of the executive policies would be wholly
in. the hands of Landon. Oh, forgot, one other
thng-Mr. Hearst might want war with Japan.

MADRID, December 4. - Thirty
Fascist bombers broke an unusual
siesta-like lull that had settled over
the capital today when they appeared
suddenly over the Rosales sector and
loosed one of the fiercest air raids OF
the siege.
The strange calm over the city was
shattered with startling fury as de-

the raiders and turned machine guns
set up in the street on the planes.
An earlier attack by the insurgents
along the Casa del Campo had
tapered of into the noon day quiet.
Three previous air raids had given
Madrilenos a frenzied night.
The general attack was believed to
be careful effort to pierce the So

A combined artillery and aerial
bombardment of the outskirts, so in
