Clifford Pinchot Backs
Landon for President

ELYRIA, Ohio, Oct. 6.-Gif-
ford Pinchot, former governor of
Pennsylvania and progressive Re
publican leader, in his first ad-
dress of the 1886 campaign here
last night advocated the election of
Governor Alfred M. Landon as a
"clean, straight, competent citizen
with courage" and urged the de-
feat of Franklin D. Roosevelt be-
cause he has messed up the ad-
miniStration of Cove n m n
enough to make angels weep" He
declared:
81 am for ALI LandOn be-
cause l believe he will make a
good President, and because
think it is to the interest of the
American people that he should
be elected. One reason l am
for Governor LandOn is Frank
lin d. Roosevelt"
Governor Pinchot declared that
he quarrels with President Roose-
welt "far less about what he sets
out to do than about his failure
to accomplish it."
The speaker lauded Governor
Landon as a progressive with a
young Republicans point of view.
Governor Landon has the young
mans way of seeing things" he
commented. "He believes in the
future and that better times are
ahead"

NEBRASKA WIN
HELD CERTAIN
FOR LAND0N

OMAHA, Nebr., Oct. Gov
Alfred M. Landon will carry the
important agricultural State of
Nebraska beyond the shadow of
a doubt"
His majority certainly will ex-
coed 10000. 1t may be a veritable
landslide.
These optimistic observations
were made yesterday by former
Representative Robert G. Simmons
on the basis Of his survey of Ne
braska'S sentiment during his
own aggressive campaign for the
United States Senate.
Reversing State
This turnover will be an aston
iShing change from 1882, when
Mr.. Roosevelt won Nebraska by
100000.
The politicians in both parties
agree that among the farmers
there is an obvious, concerted
and widespread trend away from
the New Deal. Among them is
said to exist settled confidence
in Landon, their neighbor, who
knows their problems and talks
their plain language.
High taxes, Government waste
and extravaganza and the impor-
tations of vast quantities of for
eign farm productS-theSe are the
problems said to be fixed in the
farmers minds.
Nebraska has a reputation for
thrift and economy in it's State
fiscal affairs. The State has no
bonded debt. 1t is on a pay-as-
you-go policy. The thrifty people
provided for that in their State
constitution. The total bonded
debt of their subordinate political
districts throughout the State is
only $85, 100000.
Amazed at Debt
In contrast, the Nebraska farm
ers appear amazed that the New
Deal has increased the national
debt to $4,000, 900, 900 and accord.
ingly have fixed upon Nebraska's
people P. proportionate share of
the debt.
In this State there are said by
the people to be abundant evil
denceS of New Deal waste. Mil
lions Of dollars were poured into
a Resettlement project and for
many months the presence of the
janitor was the only token of the
large expenditure. When a few
humble settlers finally did move
in, they found the elaborate New
Deal plans called for the erection
of expensive schools and other COM
munity buildings the cost of which
they could not possibly bear.
The farmers are said to be un-
able to comprehend the inconsist-
ency of "the' Washington theo-
ristS" who take millions of acres
of land out of cultivation in their
program of scarcity" and then
spend millions of dollars to Fri
gate dry Nebraska land. Over
1000 workers in the Omaha pack
ing plants lost their jobs because
there was no live stock to dress.
Private polls being taken
throughout the State by reliable
sources contain the element of
surprise. Some of these polls
run four to one for Landon over
Roosevelt.

addition, there is a growing agitation
for passage of a shorter work-week
law. AS a result, producing costs are
mounting rapidly. This means that
price mark-ups from raw material to
finished product, are in prospect for
the New Year! In fact quotations
are moving up briskly right now and
have reached the highest point since
June, 1880.
Depression Fading Into Memory
So with consumer goods above nor
NAL and with the capital goods indus
tries now catching up, most of the
problems brought on by the depres-
sion are fading away. The 100000
capital goods workers who were job
less in 1888 have dwindled to 4,OO0,-
900 and the remainder are now being
rapidly absorbed by private indus
try. The business outlook is promis-
ing and 1 feel that we may be stand
ing on the threshold of a great era
of prosperity. How long it will last
or how far it will go depends upon
whether or not America has learned
how ito handle" prosperity. This lat
ter is a spiritual rather than an eco
nomic problem
Business, as registered by the Bah
sonchart, continues to run along at
normal, and is now nine per cent
above a year ago.

posa1 of Mr. Hoey. Until this new COM
mission was created, Mrs. Spilman
was being prominently mentioned as
a possible appointive as executive sec
rotary of the State School Commits
sion and she was regarded as making
rather an active campaign for that
post Most observers believe Mrs.
Spilman is better fitted for her pres
ent post on the new unemployment
compensation commission than she
would have been for chief executive
officer of the State School Commits
sion. Virtually no criticism has been
heard of the action of the general as
sembly in making Commissioner of
Labor A.. L. Fletcher an ex-officio
member Of the new commission since
the prevailing belief in most circi
here is that Commissioner Fletcher
knows more about the unemployment
insurance program and the entire So
cial security set-up than any other
member of the commission if not
more than any one in the state. He is
expected to become the balance wheel
if not the principal work horse, on
the new commission.
No Personal Feeling.
There is no getting around the fact,
however, that there is tremendous cri-
ticism and dissatisfaction with the
appointment of Powell as chairman of
the new commission in 10th business
and political circles here. This is not
because of any personal objections to
Powell or because of any reflections
as to his ability. Most people agree
that Powell is an able and person
able young man who has served Gov
ernor Ehringhaus ably and well as his
private secretary for almost four
years and who before that time was
register CT deeds in Granville county
for some IS years. In fact, it has been
fully expected in political circles that
Governor-elect Hoey would adhere to
the custom and tradition of Demo
cratic governors for SO years and ap-
point Powell to some State position
provSled Governor Ehringhaus did
not find place for him before he
retired: For it is unwritten law in
North Carolina that the private sec
retaries of retiring governors must
be ''taken care off, provided they
want to be-and most of them do. For
two or. three days before the new I'M
employment compensation law was
passed the report was going the
rounds that Powell might be named

a member of the new commission
and there was no great alarm or con-
Germ shown.
Mcdonald Charges Recur.
The factors which are causing so
much concern and criticism of the
appointment of Powell as chairman of
the new unemployment compensation
commission are that the appointment
seems to be purely a political one on
the old theory that ITO the victors be-
long the spoils"; that Governor En-
ringhaus selected what many consid-
er to 5e the most important appoint
ment left him with one of the largest
salaries with which to reward his for
mer private secretary-the salary is
expected to be $4,000 a year; that Gov
ernor Ehringhaus had already ap-
pointed him as secretary Of state to
fill out the uneXpired term of former
Secretary of State Stacey w. Wade,
ignoring Thad Eure, who had already
been elected to this office, and the
fact that this appointment is regard
ed as smacking too much of the
Grown prince" type of politics which
has as it's main objective the reward
ing of the faithful
When all of these objections or cri-
ticismS are summed up and rolled to-
gether they come very near to CO.
NEEDING with the charges made by the
supporters of Dr. Ralph w. Mcdonald
in the late but not forgotten Demo-
cratic primaries against Governor
Ehringhaus, Candidate Hoey and the
so-called Democratic machine OBJ
servers here recall. There is no deny
ing the fact that the insurgents" and
liberals in the Democratic party
are already jubilant at the appoint
ment of POWELL since they believe that
continuation Of this policy in the
making of appointments will mean a
definite and decisive ousting of the
present so-called democratic Ma
chine" in the next primary in 194O
Friends and supporters of both Gov
ernor Ehringhaus and Governor-elect
Hoey are also deeply concerned for
fear that the Powell appointment
may have added fuel to the fire of
opposition to the old conservative
Democratic regime in the state and
tend to make harder and harder sled
ding for Mr.. Hoey when he becomes
Governor January Z.

Little criticism has been heard, how
ever, of the appointment of Mrs. J..
B. Spilman, of Greenville. as the other
appointive member of the commission.
Mrs. Spilman, who was very active for
Mr. Hoey in both primary campaigns
and who was later elected vice chair
man of the State Democratic Execu-
tive Committee, is acknowledged to
be a woman of unusual ability and
initiative and as entirely capable of
filling the important post to which
she has been appointed. In fact, the
appointment of MRS. Spilman as a
member of the commission did not
come as a surprise, since it has been
conceded for many weeks that she
would undoubtedly get one of the
more choice appointments at the dis

Homes also fall in to this classified

Back in the gloomy days of March,
1888, there were approximately 49,
100000 unemployed workers. Probably
100000 of these belonged to the

Fondness for the ground will come
back to those travellers who have run
the round of pleasure and business,
eaten dirt, drifted about the world
and taken the wind in all it's moods.
Many of them long to own a piece

it, plant the seed and watch their
renewal of life. It's a mighty good
time for you to commit the Golden
Rule to life.
Cooperate for 3rotherhood's Sake
Farmers are great people but
they don't always work at it. Work
ing with our hands, close touch with
the common life of the soil, has
given us much of the true wisdom of
experiences. Among us there are
some leaders, fag-bearers, bosses
who know US and we know them;
they carry the banner, hold it as
high as they know how, and we
follow.
Competition is considered essential
to the health and progress of the
race. But the obvious golden truth
is that cooperation in Agriculture is
good and competition bad. Rural
society fiourishes by the mutual aid
of human beings. When farmers
become divided against themselves
especially neighborhoods, commune
ties and classes engaged in the same
pursuits--they fail to progress.
The world constantly tends to the
level of the downcast man in it; and
that downmost man is the worlds
real ruler, hugging it close TO his
bosom, dragging it down to his death.
Many of you will not think so, but
it is true, and it ought to be true,
for if there were some way by which
some of us could get free and apart
from others, if there were someway
by which some of us could have
heaven while others have hell, If
there were some way by which part
of the world could escape some form
of the plight and peril and misery
of labor, then would our world be
lost and damned. Since men have
never been able to separate them
selves from one another's woes and
wrongs: since history is fairly
stricken with the lesson that we can
not escape brotherhood of some kind,
since the whole of life is teaching
us that We are hourly choosing be-
tween brotherhood in suffering and
brotherhood in good, it remains for
US to choose the brotherhood Of .
cooperative world, with all its fruits
thereof-the fruits of love and liberty
and abundant rural life.
