Late yesterday he received from a
crowd at Wilmington, Del, recep-
ton he called marvellous"

ware citizens, once said that when the
shepherd drives the wolf from the
sleeps throat, the sheep thanks the

liberty.
Mr.. Roosevelt said the great eman-
cipator believed in the kind Of lib
erty which our administration sought
and continues to seek"
Among the challenges Landon hurl-
ed at the President In his address at
Madison Square Garden last night
was This;
Does he favor reviewing the prin-
ciples Of the national recovery act,
or does he favor the American sys-
tenn of free initiative?"
He also asked whether Mr. Roose-
welt favored concentrating more and
more power in the hands of the chief
executive, and demanded:
Tell us where you stand, Mr.
President"
Today Landon was homeward
bound but he planned to stop off at
st. Louis for a speech Saturday night.
