displace labor at the outset, it will
greatly reduce the cost of producing
cotton. In fact. so the inventors be-

cents per pound. OF late years. what
with the AAA policy Of artificial

ton of cotton in other countries has
increased rapidly. The introduction Of
the cotton picker, by reducing pro-
duction costs, will enable us to re-
cover a part or all of the lost market.
In addition a reduced price for cotton
will increase the consumption Of cot
ton goods. and also leave consumers
of cotton and cotton goods more pur-

chase of other goods.
Fortunately the hardships of the re-

ality. It may be that large part Of
the public feels psychological hun
ger for q plain man. Landon's lack
of ornateness, his possession Of so
many qualities that are common to
the average man. and so few adcrn-
nnents that mark him of from the
average man; the fact that common
men understand him readily, that they
feel he has q personality which re-
mains the same and that therefore
they trust him unconsciously-these
may be factors that may cause the
country to turn to him.
Coolidge Analogy.
It Is these qualities that justify
what analogy there is-it is often
over emphasized - between Landon
and Calvin Coolidge. Before he rose
above the crowd, Coolidge was indis-
tinguishable in the crowd. In none
of his campaigns, beginning with
parochial contests for local Offices,
did any one see in Mr.. Coolidges
inconspicuous personality any advar-
tage over his opponent. Inded. over
confident opponents sometimes de-
rided him as looking like "singed
cat" Yet Mr.. Coolidge never failed
to win . campaign Of the dozen he
contended In, from candidates. for

through the mayoralty Of 1t, State
Representative and State Senator for
several terms, Lieutenant Governor,
Governor and President.
Probably the present lull in political
excitement will continue until the
initial clash of swords between the
two combatants is completed by
Landon's acceptance speech July 25.
In the meantime perhaps, and later
certainly. We shall have fresh install

count much in this campaign.
Blasts Expected.
So far, the number of prominent
Democratic leaders who have said,
directly or by clear implication, that
they will not vote for the New Deal
nor for Mr.. Roosevelt as the source
and symbol of the New Deal. con-

New York declined to attend the

ground, presumably, that election to

OF both acceptance speeches and the
completion Of the preliminary rituals
eight days before the beginning Of
August. makes a new record in earli-
ness. so far as I can recall 1t sug-
gests eagerness. and a campaign long
enough to provide thorough enlight-
eminent Of the country.
The few speeches the public has
heard from Gov. Landon over the
radio so far have not suggested that
he has anything like the emotion
stirring quality Of Mr. Roosevelt's ora
tory or Mr. Roosevelt's remarkable IA
cility at phrase making. So far as
the campaign is to be a duel OF per-
sonalities, the two candidates fight
with equipment so different that it Is
almost impossible to compare them.
They can only be contrasted. Against
Mr.. Roosevelt's colorful personality
Landon has a simple one, Against Mr..
Roosevelts' high spirits and gaiety and
zest Landon has seriousness. Against
Mr.. Roosevelt's agility Landon has
sure-footedness. Against Mr.. Roose-
yelts' skill in using words for charm
and allurement Landon's words have
directness and simplicity.
Landon's Weapon Vital.
How far the people may take sides
and form the lineup on the respective
personalities OF the candidates. no one
can say. In the contrast between the
two there is at once warning for Lam
don and possibly a good omen for
him. The warning Is that Landon
would make mistake If he should
try to compete with Mr.. Roosevelt on
the latters own ground, with the lat
ters choice Of weapons The Repub-
l1can candidate does not have a color
ful personality and does not have a
radio voice of anything like the come
hither" quality in Mr. Roosevelts ut
terances. Since the qualities of the
two men are so opposite, probably
Landon will be wise to make capital
of the difference He will do best TO
make the fight with what God has
given him.
There S, In the contrast between
the two, the possibility Of advantage
for the Republican candidate. Who
can say certainly that the country
will necessarily prefer the candidate
who happens to have the more en-
eaging traits Of personality? 1t is at
