upon him dificult, OF offsetting at
tacks before they come, and, gener-
ally, of keeping the campaign on a
minor key.
So far Mr.. Roosevelt has controlled
the atmosphere of the campaign. At

public moods as he wants, averting
any public mood that would be detri.
mental to him-at all that Mr.. Roose-
welt is one of the most expert politi-
clans in the modern world, a world
in which the creation OF desired moods
in the public has become as ever
before fundamental art in politics.
Mr.. Roosevelt is adept at that, and
he is incredibly agile in all his tactics.
Attention Turned to Drought.
The country gets stirred up about
reduction of food supply, high prices
for food and imports of food from
abroad. Thereupon the administra-
ton becomes very much concerned
about the drought. The drought,
mind you. not A. A. A. 1t is the
drought. and only the drought that
caused it. Triple-A. and the plowing
under. and the paying to not raise
crops, and the slaughter of young
pigs-all that must be forgotten. The
country must be made "drought-con-
scious." Mr.. Roosevelt makes a trip
into the drought territory. He calls
a conference of Governors Of drought
smitten States at Des Moines. To that
conference Jay N. Darling (the car
toonist "DingD. has applied the word
window dressing" And William
Hard declares that a drought report
by committe of administration off,
cias was written. in substance, before
the committee departed from Wash
ington.
That drought conference at Des
Moines made the country think Of
drought, took the country's mind away
from Triple-A. And when Mr.. Roose-
welt invited Landon to attend, he
achieved the further advantage of
making It difncult for Mr.. Landon to
attack him very heavily. One of the
best and most ingenious of all ways
to avert attack is to invite your ad-
versary to lunch with you in the eyes
Of the public, shake hands with him,
and smith with him. and exchange
pleasantries. with hundred reporters
and camera men reporting it for q
public which is bound to believe that
your adversary cannot have anything
very unpleasant to say about you.

national issues, particularly in the
wheat areas of the State affected by
drought, are such that Landons eS-
timated majority is about $4,000 to
10000 in the first second, third and
fourth districts, with Mr.. Roosevelt
likely to win majority of from $500
to 10000 in three wheat districts.
There is no doubt that Landon is

One reason for the big Roosevelt
strength in Kansas is the vast amount
of money spent here by the Federal

than $468,000,000 in the last three
years.

This is because the citizens of Kan

Leaving aside the road-building

Counties Handle Relief.
It will be found, however, that, in
Kansas, the State government does
not handle relief problems, but that
this Is the legal function and re-
sponsibility of the counties. Even
when Landon acted as intermediary
for the counties in dealing with the
Federal Government, his action was
entirely unofficial The State board,
which his Democratic predecessor ap-
pointed to handle such matters, again
an unoficial body, was continued by
LAndon.
1t is an accurate statement, how.
ever, to say that the counties of Kan
sas were relieved of about $4,000 900

Some idea of the Importance of
county governments in Kansas can
be obtained by noting that they spend
$54,000,000 a year on their total
budgets while the State government
spends about $11 100000. They have
