situation, which guided the deci- sion. The series of developments included the recent decision of Dr. Francis E. Townsend, head of the old age pension organization, to vote for the republican nominee be- cause the Lemke-O'Brien ticket could not get on the California ballot.
 In a series of rallies in Indiana and Illinois yesterday afternoon and last night he told crowds that met his train that President RooSe- welt must be considered lat heart, longing for a planned economy" un- less he definitely repudiated the New Deal prophets of central gov- ernment.
 In Fighting Mood
 Then, returning to Topeka, tired but still in fighting mood, he an- nounced that he was making good on his promise that there twill be no slackening of the battle against the Roosevelt administration"
 I've got story for you," he told newspaper reporters with grin. Just hold your hosses for min- ute until I finish reading this telegram"
 He studied the message that had been handed to him a minute before, raked his fingers through his grey- ish hair and said: Were going to speak in Los Angeles on the twen- tieth.", Speaking back across the Rocky Mountains, the governor will appear in Oklahoma City about October g in adrive for that states votes. He will then hurry eastward to Indianapolis before making the final thrust into New York and Pennsylvania. Proposals for speeches at Baltimore and Boston were abandoned.

Topeka, Kans., Oct. 16-(UP)- Governor Ali M. Landon announced today the most spectacular maneu- yer in his campaign for the presi- ! dency-a dash to Los Angeles next week "to carry California" for the republican ticket.
 It will be part of 5000 mile tour in less than two weeks that will keep the republican nominee on the campaign firing line until election eve. He will cross half the nation to the Pacific coast, return eastward through Oklahoma, con- tinue through the midwest and acros sthe Alleghenies to the east ern seaboard, and wind up his cam paign in St. Louis and Kansas. Speaks at Los Angeles It will include speeches at Los Angeles, October 20: Oklahoma City about October 23; Indianapolis Oc- tober 24; Philadelphia October 26; Pittsburgh October 27; New York city October 29, and St. Louis Oc- tober 31.
 We are going to carry Califor- nia," Governor Landon said in an- nouncing his climatic campaign drive.
 He will set out on one of the most aggressive presidential campaign tours of many years on Sunday night, only three days after con- cluding his journey across the major battlefields of Ohio, Illinois, Michigan and Indiana. He will not stop until he casts vote on elec- ton day at the polling place in garage on the main street of his home town, Independence, Kans.
 The unexpected western thrust was in keeping with the surprise" type of generalship Governor Lan- don has employed. It ranked with his sudden jaunt to Portland on the eve of the Maine election, a journey the republican nominee considered turning point"
 Most Important Act In the same way, his friends looked on the decision to visit Cali fornia as the most strategically im- portant act of the home-stretch drive in the national campaign. They believed the move would in- crease Governor Landon's prestige as a political strategist and would give the republican campaign a spectacular impetus in the home stretch, just as they believed the Maine trip served to jerk their drive out of the doldrums and start ed it cunning in high gear.
 But there were other factors, in- cluding a last minute republican check up on the California political
