The Republican Viewpoint
EDITED BY
The Republican County Central
Committee
CALIFORNIA AND LANDON

Since the election of JuStuS Craencr, as state
committee chairman, there has been growing
confidence among Republicans in California that
Governor Landon will carry this state against
President Roosevelt in the election on November
Srd and that in winning California he will win
the National election.
There have been times in the past when the
selections of a president was finally determined
by the results in California. This, of course
means that every Landon supporter in the State
is again his mettle IN seeking to win the state
for the Kansas governor
Some of the best informed experts on the
results of straw votes and prediction canvasses
point out ii is probable that Landon Will carry
this state. They call attention to the reSul of
the state election two years ago. IN Denocra-
tic year when there was predominant Demo-
cratic registration and yet a Republican gov
ernor was elected by more than 100000 votes.
One OF the most important influences in be-
half of Landon, during recent weeks, has been
the endorsement from Dr. Townsend, Of the
Townsend Plan. following the governors state
,nentS on old-age security.
One of the most interesting features of pre-
election polls is that of the Literary Digest
III former elections its reports have proved to
be uncannly accurate. There is no reason to
believe they will not prove so to be in this eec-
ton. The figures that have been given up to
date show a complete swing away from Roose-
yelt IN many States where he won before, ana
have been among the most encouraging factors
in PREDICTING the results of the election.
Landons expose of the tremendous waste
in federal government under the preSen tadmin-
istraton, in which money is being expended
twice as fast as it is being received and the
federal debt has piled up to around S35 000 100000
has resulted in a definite trend from RooSe-
velt The waste OF taxpayers money in the name
of relief to buy an election was used to great
effect by Governor Landon in his radio talk on
the night of October 18th
The man who has made record in his pri-
vate affairs for thrift and economy living within
his income, and has done the same thing for
the great state of which he is governor, is the
kind of man for the American people to tie
to under the conditions which now exist in the
United States. He is needed to straighten
out the financial mess into which the federal
government has floundered, and to bring hope
and encouragement to those forgotten Americans
who are paying the bills and are keeping at their
jobs

THESE -FOUR PROPOSITIONS
NEED LITTLE CONSIDERATION

There are four propositions on the
Nov. 3 ballot which, because of their
nature, should be easily decided by the
voters of California. Two of them do not
affect the state generally, one is so
badly messed up that the men who drew
it have withdrawn their support, and
the other provides for a change in tech
Rical details which would result in saw
ings to various communities. They may
be listed in numerical order.
No 5: This is bill authorizing Los
Angeles county voters TO decide for
themselves, at their own election, on the
issuance of the tax exempt bonds not TO
exceed S5,000000 to be used in financ-
ing the Pacific Exposition, commemor-
ating completion of Boulder Dam. 1t is
purely a Los Angeles county problem,
which the voters of California should
leave to the voters of Los Angeles coun-
tv. A YES vote will allow Los Angeles
county to approve or turn down the
proposition.
No. 6: This is similar to No. 3, allow
ing Los Angeles city voters to decide II
thev wish their city charter amended to
allow for arrangements by the Pacific
Exposition corporation for the Boulder
Dam exposition. Vote YES.
No. %: This measure originally was
intended merely TO cnange Ine name ol
the California Railroad Commission,
making it the Public Service Commits
sion. The proposed bill, when drafted
was found to propose repeal of some of
the most desirable features of the act
creating the commission. Therefore the
three authors and proponents of the
measure withdrew support, and urged
defeat for the proposal. Vote NO.
No. "a: This measure provides short
cut to economy for communities in which
the question of city and county charters
arise. 1t makes it possible for voters IN
the communities, when electing board
of freeholders to draft a charter, at the
same time to indicate whether or not
thew want a charter. If they do not,
then no further election is necessary.
If they do, another election must be
called to pass upon the charter IN its
final form. At present, the voters elect
a board of freeholders without lndlcat-
ing any choice in the matter of char
ter. and another election is mandatory
to determine if any charter is desired,
or if the charter submitted is in the de-
sired form. If the voters oppose char
ter. under this amendmen, they can say
so at the first election, rather than
being forced to wait for a second cleo
ton, and stand the expense OF 1t. Vote
YES.

News Behind the News
The Last Month Counts Ldndon
Becomes More Confident :. One
Nutshell Formula

CHICAGO-In the face Of growing belief
among politicians and students OF politics lhae
Roosevelt has an edge in the presidential con-
test. Gov ALI Landon and the Republicans nave
set out to prove than an election can be won IN
the last month Of a campaign.
Landon himself according to those VINO nave
been with him daily since his nomination, IS
more confident Of victory than at any previous
time At one period, they say, he felt there
wasn't much hope.
Enough Of the political map has jelled TO
enable the Republican high command TO boil
the situation down to one nutshell formula.
Here it is:
Landon must carry New York, Pennsylvania,
Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, and New Jersey if he
is 10 be elected II he loses single state among
the frse five-the Big F1ve"-he is sunk He
might win them all and still lose the election
but no such thing has ever happened.
II you care to take out your pencil and play
the game which everyone down TO the youngest
office boy, at major party headquarters is now
playing you can have herewith the latest con-
fidential figurings among the Republican big
shots whose Chicago offices are spread through
three large downtown buildings.
New England they are sure, will throw the
Il electoral votes of her six states to Landon.
Add that to a possible AZ from New York
36 from Ohio 10 from Michigan l6 from New
Jersey and IA from Indiana The total is 228.
A majority in the electoral college, requisite
for victory, is 266.
Republicans say they are sure Of Kansas and
wyoming-nine and three votes respectively
which makes 240.
Then there are some good chance" states
Minnesota II, Iowa H. Nebraska z, Colorado 6
South Dakota 4, and Delaware 3, which would
bring the Landon total TO 282.
1t would be possible TO lose Indiana and still
win IN eelection for Landon since Indiana has

William E. Glow. Jr. head of James B. Glow

pamphlet entitled: "A Business Mans Personal

he declares that Roosevelt's record entities him
to an overwhelming reelection.
Speaking as business of long experience

Mr.. Roosevelt would be a crying act of ngrati-
