GOV. LANDON TO
START HIS TRIP

Topeka, Kans., Aug. 1l-(UPl-
Governor ALI M. Landon leaves for
Colorado tonight for his last real
rest before q presidential campaign
expected to be the most strenuous
Of many years.
Only the preliminaries Of the cam
paign have been officially complete
ed, thte first stage will end with his
return to Topeka late in August
after speaking in Pennsylvania and
New York.
The republican nominees politi-
cal life has been built on personal
contact: visits to verey county in
Kansas during the gubernatorial
campaigns; talks with district lead
ers: short speeches to voters in
many towns and a routine Of hand
shaking that would awe many poll
teal leaders.
To q limited extent, he hopes to
carry the same strategy into the
presidential campaign. That Is why
his special train will make approxi-
mately 80 brief stops on the east
ward journey and will stop frequent-
ly In illinois and possibly Missouri
on the return trip.
