W Generalissimos of the Re
publican national convention are
having a hard time trying to per-
suade Gov. ALT Landon to agree
in the event he is nominated-to
stage his acceptance speech at the
Cleveland convention. The man.
ayers are planning a monster po-
litical rally as the concluding
feature of the convention, with
the nominee as the big attraction.
Landon is very chilly, however, to
the idea Of putting in a personal
appearance. First, because he
thinks the plan apes the Demo-
Gratis; second, because it would
necessitate an air trip, which does
not appeal to him. ALT has told
the convention directors that he
prefers an old-fashioned accept
ance ceremony at Topeka. :.

pleasant speech which Alfred Mossman
Landon made in Attica. He came to this
Kansas village of thousand folk for no
political reason, but merely to celebrate the
graduation of the son of lifelong friend
Still the Governor did not undertake to
discuss any campaign issues under ascertainable
labels, but spoke instead in parallels And he told
the story set down in the Bible about Caleb and the
Promised Land and the Children of Israel

AS you undoubtedly remember,
the messengers came back to say
that they had found a land of
milk and honey, and Caleb CRIED,
Let us go up at once and possess
it, for we are well able TO over
come it,"
And Alfred Mossman Landon
went on to say to the boys and
girls with shining faces, But the
