He Would Make a Good President
From Our Exchanges

He Would Make a Good President
Governor Landon's brief visit to
Mortified Thursday afternoon,
and his speech from the rear plat
form of his special train, may well
prove to be the highlight of the
presidential campaign for scores of
local persons. 1t is surprising that
in SO fleeting visit, providing lit
tie more than a glimpse of the can
didate for the hundreds who crowd
ed the station yard and street, that
Mr.. Landon could leave such an
agreeable impression There is lit
tie that is flamboyant or pictur-
esque about him, to be sure. He ap-
pears to be simply sincere, able,
and easily-understood gentleman
who has hidden sources of real
strength of character and under
standing In other words, Governor
Landon grows on you. Even his
smile seems a genuine one; his SER
ious demeanor, when discussing vi
tai issues, the demeanor of a man
Of courage and insight. 'He would
be a good president" one of his
hearers in Mortified commented.
No unprejudiced person could hear
and see him, in the light of the
fast-moving campaign, who would
not agree with that sentiment

Fred Curtis Springs Joke
Fred Curtis, Democratic candi-
date for governor, must be given
credit for springing the best joke
of the present campaign. In his
keynote speech at st Cloud he ac-
tualy advocated constitutional
amendment that would make four
of the most important state offices
appointive rather than elective. He
would give to the governor the
power to appoint the secretary OF
state, the state auditor, the state
treasurer and the attorney gener
al. II a mistake was made in elect
ing the governor under that setup
the state would be in a bad way
for a few years. That would b.
centralizing government with {
vengeance. But the joke. of his ad
dress was his recommendation fol
lowing that declaration to abolish

have met very few whom had the
slightest reason to doubt as to their
motives. Very few men or wo-
men actually desire to do the wrong
thing-cheap things. This being
true, it behooves us to guard
against hasty judgment of others
Their purpose is doubtless as wor-
thy as our own, and even though
we think them either unwise or un-
just, it is risky thing to aver pos
itively that they have unworthy
motives or seek to mar the divine

The Republicans are getting over
confident and the Democrats and
Farmer-Laborites are getting pan
icky. The extra confidence that the
Republicans have can be seen IN
their complacency and the GOODNESS
with which they accept criticism.
The panicky feeling of the opposi-
ton can be seen in their wild and
desperate criticism. The fact that
Mr.. Benson accuses Mr. Nelson Of
saying things that he did not say
is only sign of the desperate sit
uation that Mr.. Benson feels he has
been placed in. AS a fact. being
over confident is a much worse dis
ease than being panicky. Both sides
will need to wake up.-The Glen

Home State

ALBANY, May 81. (UP)-
Governor Herbert H. Lehman Of
New York announced he would
not seek reelection, provoking
wide speculation as to whether
President Roosevelt would carry
his home state in the presidential
election.
Lehman. a close friend and adj
visor to Mr.. Roosevelt, polled Z
plurality Of more than 100000
votes in the last gubernatoria'
election, and Democratic leaders
had hoped he would run again to
strengthen both the presidential
and state campaigns.
Republicans seized upon the
governors announcement as o
boon to their chances of defeat
ing the New Deal in the presi-
dents home state and electing a
governor. -
Lehman's announcement was a
distinct surprise in party circles
and came despite repeated pleas
by Mr.. Roosevelt that he seek an
other term.
81 talked the matter over with
the president way last February,
and | was sorry had to refuse
to run again." Lehman said.
The governor, former member
of Lehman Brothers banking firm,
said he had not planned his flu
ture, but close friends said he
probably would return to private
business.
Lehman served two terms as
lieutenant governor under Mr..
Roosevelt and two terms as the
states chief executive.

THEATRE here
WILL have NEW
SOUND SYSTEM
Will Be Installed at State
Before Full Time Sched-
ule, Starting Soon

Announcement of the installa-
ton of the newest and most high
~ perfected sound equipment at
the State theatre was announced
today by Harry f. Buchanan, as
development of the coming week.
The new system being installed Is
known as "RCA High Fidelity
Sound System" It's installation is
a part of the program of the local
theatre to present Hendersonvllle
and it's visitors the best in enter
tainment, comfort and equipment,
Mr.. Buchanan said.
Already, twenty-five crates OF
the apparatuS have arrived and
, are in the theatre awaiting the
remainder of the set and the ar
rival of the factory expert ana
crew of engineers who will place
il in the theatre and thoroughly
test it before it is placed in OPP
Grafton. 1t is to be installed With
i'm the next few days.
The new equipment, according
TO Mr.. Buchanan, is vastly SUI
perior to the old style equipment
which it replaces. "a number OF
patrons have asked us what IS
meant by high fidelity" said Mr..
Buchanan. ut simply means that
the equipment is extremely faith
fnI in reproducing and distrlbut..
inc throughout the theatre all OF
the dialogue, music and sound et-
fects which were made into the
motion picture at the studios and
laboratories. Some of the old
eouipments were linn l e d IN
range The new RCA has very
wide range. =, .. or
second of sound waves, (aIso
called cvcles), is very high on this
new equipment, running up TO
about $4,000 per second. 1t is be-
liieved that no human ear can near
such high cycles; indeed, few can
gnt any response to cycles above
7 600 However, their reproduc-
ton is important. In a sound, tnee
main trend of which is, say 4,OOV
cvcles there will be overtones ana
nndertones which must be repro,
Jnced faithfully or the voice ana
mnsic will sound flat. or may De De
scarcely Ineligible sound at all;
Most of the old equipments tailed
70 register cycles under 20O OF
over 5000. RCA High FIdeIlty
equipments bring out both the low
and the high cycles as clearly as
q bell" u.,+od.
I Mr.. Buchanan further stated
"Our new equipment was oougnt
only after a most careful survey
of all available equipment. 1t was
Thoroughly tested at the factory
and will be set up by experts and
again tested before being instruSt-
| ed with the entertainment of the
| State. We are sure our patrons
will be greatly pleased with the
Improvement which We believe IT
will make in the States sound.
| Installation is, to be completed
well before the opening of the
