Suppose other children are

liberties, Governor Alfred M. Ian
don headed eastward today to
close his presidential campaign
with a tranScontinental tour.
The Republican nominee in a
major address here charged the
New Deal with conducting a
reign of terror against all critics
He accused President Roosevelt
of leading an attack on the Su-
preme Court with the intent Of
undermining it and bringing 1t
into disrepute.
Boy Throws Flask
An incident which passed al
most unnoticed occurred as Lam
don's automobile drove into the
Coliseum for the address.
John Dobbins, II. threw an
empty. whisky flask which broke
against the concrete. The boy
was held for investigation.
Landon's automobile was not
struck by the flying glass, and the
candidate himself was unaware
the bottle had been thrown. OBJ
servers were inclined to believe the
boys statement that the bottle
was not aimed at the automobile
Landon Scathingly indicted the
Administration. He charged it
with using its great powers to
foster monopoly and hamstring
small business. He accused 1t OF
using public funds to coerce
members of campaigns and local
officials.
He charged the Administration
with using relief funds to intimi-
date voters and terroriZe relief
workers. He charged it with en-
acting tax bills as punitive meas
ures against non-formerS and,
lastly, accused it of using a con-
gressonal investigation in an at
tempt to crush the Townsend
movement, because it opposed the
New Deal.
He said:
"Tf we are to preserve our
American form of government
this Administration must be de-
feated."
This ultimatum brought an au-
dience Of $4,000 in the giant
Coliseum to its collective feet in
a terrific outburst of cheering.
So, too, did each specific indict-
ment Of the New Deal. And there
were booS for the President and
Postmaster General James A. Far
ley.
Landon was in fine spirits as he
started eastward. He left Los
Angeles with Republican leaders
declaring his visit had launched a
tidal wave Of sentiment that would
sweep California into the Landon
column on November 8, despite all
New Deal claims.
G. o. P. Is Revived
He was informed the Townsend
followers would vote almost en-
masse for him, that the Republi
can party had been revivified AND
that Constitutional Democrats
would desert the New Deal by hun
dreds of thousands.
