any Kansas farmer or townsman
would tell you so. On matters
other than fiscal, Landon had sup
ported the child labor amendment,
had seen to it that an amendment
providing for repeal of Kansas
constitutional bone-dry clause was
submitted to the people, and he
had maintained a State relief ad-
miniStration free of politics.
Again Landon reverted to his
political formula-could the party
unite behind one man: could the
record of the governor of Kan
sas, once made known, spring
from the grass roots a demand for
his candidacy?
The answer Landon sent back
to his friends was to find out.

sity alumnae, without funds other

fit of organization, leaped into

Landon expressed himself aS
delighted to hear of the election
of my friend John Hamilton as
chairman of the Republican ma

"It is a post of great response
bility, but one for which he is
admirably fitted. He has cOur-
age and judgment, and the met
tie Of his vigorous leadership al

a hard fighter, but he always
fights fairly. That is the kind
of fight We are going to make
in this campaign"
Hamilton and Landon were
members of opposition factions of
the Kansas G. o. P. until 1882,
Landon being identified with the
so-called Progressive wing; the fu-
ture National Chairman with the
"Stand-PatterS."
It was in that year that both

Solves Bed Problem

The Volunteers Of America had

last night.

The problem came to the Vol

of Harry Williams, 31-year-old
cook. of Chester, Pa. who asked
for a bed for the night, and who
at first glance, could not be mis-
taken for a lightweight.
He weighed in at 395 pounds,
and that's what non-pluSsed the
Volunteers. There weren't any
beds big enough for him.
The problem was solved when

and laid on the floor for their

tasted victory with Governor Red,
as we'll as defeat in the cause of
Theodore Roosevelt'S Progressive
party, Landon held a theory. 1t
was:
A united party organization is
usually essential to elect a man to
public office, but it not always
enough-there must be a demand
for the man from the people them
selves, and from the grass roots"
as he called it.
Accordingly, Landon, reserving
his decision, hoped into his car
and beat a path the length and
breadth of Kansas. He missed not
a county out of Kansas 105.
Because a united party machin-
cry was essential, he talked to
leaders of all factions. Because
there must be a grass roots senti-
ment, he talked with farmers and
tradesmen. the man in the street.
Sincerity in Program
Landon said taxes ought to be
reduced, the State budget ought to
be balanced, and the local units
of government should be made by
law to reduce expenditures. 1t was
the old song, choruSed by office
seekers for generations, but this
man had set it to new notes-it
had the ring of truth.
When Landon had ridden the
circuit of Kansas counties, he
reached his decision. He would
run for governor. A shrewd judge
of men, he felt deep within him
that these party leaders, these
farmers and townsmen, had sensed
his sincerity, his honesty Of pur-
pose, his regard for his own word,
once given.
Turn the pages four years to
1885. A group of Landon's former
classmates at Kansas University,
realizing that for once a political
party might have to reach into
the farm States for a presidential
candidate, approached the Kansas
governor wanting to espouse his
name. Landon said he would
have to think about it.
Deficits Erased
Now in his second term as Gov
ernor, his record as Kansas chief
executive would have to stand in
spection. What did it show?
The Landon administration had
inherited a deficit-not large as
State deficits go, but a deficit.
This had been erased and the
budget balanced.
The highway department was
operating in the red ink when
Landon took office. 1t now has
a surplus in the bank. even though
the administration had cut the fee
for auto license tags in half. But
highway maintenance had not
languished because the depart
ment'S income had actually been
augmented by rigid collection OF
gasoline taxes and the introduc"
tion of greater restrictions on eX-
emptionS and refunds.
A cash basis law for local units
had been passed, prohibiting the
political subdivisions from spend
ing more money than they had
on hand.

been enacted to reduce the burden
on property, the total tax bill had

TAKEN OVER
BY YOUTH
"OId Guard" Beaten at
Every Turn During
Convention

CLEVELAND, June 13 Q.N.SO.
Direction Of the campaign Of Gov
ernor ALI M. Landon for the
presidency was taken over today
by younger and more vigorous
hands than the Republican party
has had at its throttle for great
many years.
The old order has changed. This
was exemplified in the convention
itself "a remarkable convention
from the standpoint Of unanimity
and unity.
The Watsons, the Hilleses, the
Moseses, the Rorabacks who used
to dominate the Republican pic
ture have vanished from the scene
or are on their way out. In their
stead have come younger men. At
the Cleveland convention the stu.
alton actually created a lot of
sympathy for what used to be
called the "Old Guard"
John D. M. Hamilton, in his
early forties, red-haired, aggreS-
sive, resourceful, is the new chair
man of the Republican National
Committee. AS such he will direct
Governor Landon's campaign
against President Roosevelt dur
ing the next five months.
The oldSters didn't like it-this
idea of a mere youth in his fortieS
running national campaign. But
they took it-and had to simulate
liking it-as the victorious Landon
forces took over control Of the
party machinery.
The men who ran the Cleve-
land convention, Hamilton being
the principal figure, were young
men. They told the oldsterS what
was going to happen, instead Of
vice versa-and it did happen.
Governor Landon's nomination
was accomplished on the first
ballot, lacking but 19 votes Of
unanimity on a State roll call.
Colonel Knox's nomination was
put over unanimously, without so
much as one dissenting voice be-
ing raised in objection. For a
major political convention that
was a remarkable thing.
It was said of Napoleon'S Old
Guard that it might die but it
never surrendered. Here in Cleve-
land the Republican "Old Guard"
did not die, but it did surrender.
Not one or the So-called "Old
Guard leaders wanted to see Ian
don nominated. He was nomin-
ated. Not many of them wanted
to see Knox as his running mate.
Knox is.
AS they surveyed the wreckage
today the "Old Guard" leaders
were inclined to be philosophical
about it all. One of them, a close
friend of the late Boise PenroSe
Of Pennsylvania, shrugged it off
with this remark:
"Well, it had to happen some
time. Why not here?"
This same man recalled 1912,
when he had implored Penrose
not to oppose Theodore Roose-
welt on the ground that it would
wreck the party. He quoted Pen
rose:
Let 'em wreck, we will be
in charge of the wreckage."
There wasn't any wreckage to-
day in the wake of the Cleve-
land convention. The Sensibili-
ties Of the "Old Guard" leaders
were slightly affronted. But only
slightly. There were no deep
wounds.

series of articles on the life of
Governor Alfred M. Ldndon of
Kansas. Republican nominee for

By ROBERT HUMPHREYS
TOPEKA, Kas., June 10
Q.N.SO.-When Alfred M. Ian
don decided in the closing days
of 1881 to run for Governor of
Kansas the following year, both
he and the Republican party
turned an historic corner.
For Landon, a business man
with politics for a hobby and
civic duty, it meant that forth
with public administration would
become his career.
For the Republican party it
marked the entrance of a future
presidential nominee upon the
proving ground of State executive
training.
In reaching his decision to
make the gubernatorial race, Ian
don arrived at it in a manner to
be remarkably paralleled four
years later when he decided that
his name should be put forth as
a presidential aspirant.
Studied Public Sentiment
When a leading Kansas Repub-
lican approached Landon in 1881
suggesting that he run for gov
ernor, the politician did not get

RATE VICTORY

The railroads won a partial
victory today when the Interstate
Commerce Commission granted a
six-month extension of emergency
freight rates. The roads had
asked indefinite extension.
The rates were to expire June
80. During the IA months of their
existence they brought the roads
approximately $100,000,000.
The commission reported it was
not convinced the charges consti-
tute an undue burden on traffic
on which they are imposed or
upon the shippers or receivers Of
such traffic.
