the resisting of economic dictator
ship" as he returned from his alma
mater to the executive mansion today
to follow the Republican convention
which may nominate him for the presi-
dency.
The Governor doffed the cap and
gown he wore at the University of Kan
sas commencement and settled down to
listen to broadcasts from Cleveland.
He was in touch, too, with his support
ers by telephone, but he refrained from
any public comment on the convention.
Strikes at Monopolies.
In his address last night the KAN
san struck specifically at monopolies
an attack which also has been made
by another contender for the Repub-
lican nomination, Senator Borah of
Idaho.
This road (ahead)," he said, in
pointing a path for the graduates, "as
/ have said before and as I shall con-
tinue to say because I firmly believe it.,
avoids the tyranny of monopoly and
economic dictatorship on one hand and
the bondage of bureaucracy on the
other"
Referring to the onward march of
democracy" Landon said some of the
other countries of the world are head
ing in opposite directions from de-
mocracy and freedom" He cautioned
his listeners, 1--WE shall have to decide
whether this retreat of civilization
shall spread to pour own country"
He said the graduates would have to
decide between two views, one which
'presupposes We have reached the end
of the road In our national develop
ments' and the other "held by those
who insist that we have no more
reached a stationary stage now than
we had in the 9os." a

LAWRENCE. Kan. June o. The
test of Gov. Alf M. Landon's speech
to the graduating class of the Uni
versity of Kansas here last night fol-
lows:
"Mr. Chancellor. members Of the
graduating class, ladies and gentle
men:
TT has long been the custom for
the Governor of Kansas to bring a
few words of greeting to the gradual
ing class of Kansas University. 1t
has been my pleasure to deliver the
Governors message three times. This
Is the fourth and last time I shall
appear before them in the capacity
of Governor.

come here each time, because 1t en-

paths. And as we remember and
cherish our own college experiences,
so will you.

"I know how sorry you members OF
the class of 1886 are to leave the old
school. share your feelings in know
ing this is my last commencement as
Governor.
But let us not look backward to-
night. Let us look ahead. You have
some wonderful experiences in store
for you, and I know you are looking
forward to them eagerly. None of
you should come to this great day in
your lives-graduation day-believing
that you have completed your educa-
ton. Instead. hope. you have
learned the lesson which history and
experience teach, that the work Of
education is a continuous task. For
liberal minds education Is an adven-
ture-an adventure which lasts as
long as life itself.
Immediately upon your graduation
you will come to grips with certain
serious questions - questions which
will require all the character and edu-
cation you can bring to bear upon
them. To many graduating classes in
years gone by the road ahead seemed
direct and clear. That was
