Commentators point out that
the campaign will be largely a
battle of personalities, a contest
between the two men alike in
many respects and unlike in
others. Gov. Landon, little known
in the nation before the amazing
success of mis- drive for the Re
publican nomination, may be able
to continue the successful pro-
pagation of his fame and rise to
new heights of popular acclaim
and esteem. On the other hand.
President Roosevelt Is no baby in
understanding the public mind, or
in gauging the trend of popular
thought, but is a master political
strategist of the highest order 1t
is to be a real battle between two
surer-antagonists.

Many Hear Address Of Hopkins
Over Radio Announcing Proposed
Continuation Local WPA Program
No ''Loafing" On Job Is
One Of Points Stressed;
Prevailing Wage Scale
To Be Paid

Key Westers Turned Saturday
afternoon to their radios to hear
a round table discussion OF the
new works program carried on by
WPA Administrator Harry l..
Hopkins, members OF his staff,
and others interested in the pro-
gram. The discussion took place
during a nationwide radio broad
cast.
AT Bayview Park approximately
800 WPA employees and members
OF their families gathered to hear
the broadcast, while nearly a
score of the administrative staff
listened at the Monroe County
High School. Colored workers
numbering some 200 and their
families heard the broadcast at
the Douglas High School. Hun
dreds of others listened in their
own homes.
While details of the new pro-
gram, approved by Congress late
last week, were not discussed,
many of the general plans for
continuing the work program
were outlined. No "loafing" on
the job was one of the points
stressed during the early part Of
the broadcast, while workers were
assured that the prevailing scale
of wages would be paid.
The value of such phases of the
works program as women's pro-
iects. the Federal Writers pro-
iects. and others were stressed
by the head of those divisions,
and by workers and others in
terested in them. Fannie Hurst,
widely known author. was on the
program and commended Ad-
ministrator Hopkins for the
writer's projects.
Announcement that the pro-
gram would continue was recelv-
ed with JOY in Key West where
there are at the present time APP
proximately 1900 persons deriv-
ing their livelihood from the
WPA. 1t was intimated that all
phases o. the program. including
work projects, professional pro-
iects. the NYA. and' others would
be continued in the program.
Preferring not to attend the
open-air meetings many WPA
employees made up smaller private
assemblies to listen to the broad
cast, and in many homes there
were grou listening to the pro-
gram. Afapugh thunderstOrms
hampered good reception some of
the time, the program was
heard clearly for the most part.
Some of the speakers included,
besides Administrator Hopkins
and Fannie Hurst. Aubrey Will
liams, Corrington Gill, Colonel
Harrington of the U. S. Army
Governor Earl of Pennsylvania,
and workers in the WPA.

Utterances Of Campaign Managers
Leave Voters To Guess Issues
Opening Exchanges Be-
tween Republican And
Democratic Units Leaves
Much To Imagination
By BYRON PRICE


|Chfef of bureau. The Associate:
Press WashinEton)
To all intents and purposes,
tie machinery of the parties now
has been set up for the 1886 cam
paign; but what about the is
sues?
Certainly the opposing ex-
changes between the Republican
and Democratic organizations have
left much to the imagination.
The Republican keynote is
bitter condemnation of MIR. Roose-
welt and his works, and tie DEM
ocratic keynote is paean of
praise for Mr.. Roosevelt, p.us
shower of .disparaging remarks
about MIR. Landon.
The Cleveland conventions
rhythmic complaint about "Three
Lcng Years" is answered by a
song of mockery against the Re-
publican candidate and managers,
engineered by those in charge of
the convention at Philadelphia.
Name-calling reaches new
high, the sincerity and even the
morality of each s;Ge is challeng-
ed by the other, and the questions
of public policy which might be
expected to receive first atten-
ton are left baclsstage.
First Utterances
On June 13. as the Republican
delegates were travelling home
ward from Cleveland Democratic
National Chairman Farley led off
the Democratic attack.
He placed a very low estimate
on Mr.. Landon's background and
experience, and characterized his
nomination as ga confession of
guilt on the part of the Republi-
can party"
Il wonder how the Republican
leaders keep from laughing out
loud" said Mr.. Farley, Eat the
gigantic hoax they are trying to
put over on the country"
Twenty-four hours later, Re-
publican National Chairman HAM
ilton replied. He charged Mr..
Farley with tendency ''to mis-
represent everything which is too
honest for him to understand"
and said this of the President:
"Mr. Roosevelt was so eager
for the nomination at any price
lin 1892 that he flew to Chi
cago to accept the platform 100
per cent, and so far as the coun-
try knows never glanced at it
again" .~....: .5..-
a.. What Next?
Does all of this means that the
campaign is to be fought, after
all, on charges of deception, dis
honesty, conspiracy and fraud,
reaching its climax later on, per-
haps, in talk of burglary and
DEMONSTRATING"
Instead of the epochal struggle
over principles expected in so
many quarters is the battle to
resemble a sort of double-action
grand jury proceeding, with the
participants on both sides select
ing their choicest verbal ammu-
milton from the lexicon of GRIM
inology?
Convention time very often is
time of irrational thought and
Incorporate speech. Many times
in the past political managers
have pitched their utterances on
a level never touched by the can
didates themselves.
1t may be so again. At least
the country will wait wondering
~ and anxiously to see.

The Republican platform, adopt
ed at Cleveland. is not a direct
challenge to most of the New Deal
principles. Rather, it is an adroit
acceptance OF many OF the Roose-
welt undertakings, coupled with
condemnation of certain methods
and the promise of better per-
Torrance. There is emphasis up
on State participation in the costs
as we'll as the achieving Of de-
sired social goals. Mr.. Hull's eff
fonts to reduce trade barriers is
condemned and the Peek policy of
specific barter is adopted for the
DISPOSAL OF farm SURPRISES. The
budget will be balanced. not by
increasing taxes, but by cutting
expenditures, drastically and inn
mediately. Sound money is up

Governor Landon that this includes

A case in point is the Liberty
Leagues furious propaganda that
swept over the country for about
a year, creating in the minds of
many people the idea that it evil
denced a great changing going
on. The peak was just before
Al Smiths take a walk speech.
Afterwards, when the dust had
blown away nearly everybody
agreed that the League got mighty
little for its money and even its
friends expressed the opinion that
the organization was useless so

their fiocks over the luxuriant
grass of this beautiful land.
Hastily those cattlemen and
their cowboys saddled their
horses and rode out to investi-
gate. Perhaps it was only a ru-
NOR after all; but with their own
eyes they could see them in the
distance like a great mass of
maggots rolling down over the
trail from the rim and swarming
out over the valley at the foot
of the Mogollons like a plague
of locusts, greedily devouring the
grass, tearing it out by the roots;
and already a cloud of dust
drifted up in the lazy morning
air from the desert hey left
behind.
'The die was cast. The Tewks-
burys wanted war. Well, they
would get it; all they wanted
and more than they had bar
gained for"
Cattlemen VS.. Sheepmen.
So the cattlemen and rustlers
forgot their own differences and
joined forces to resist the in
vasion of their common enemy,
the sheepmen. Daggs Brothers
of Flagstaff, at that time the
leading sheep men in northern
Arizona, needed new range for
their "woo1ies." They had heard
of the trouble between the Ora
hams and the Tewksburys and
decided to turn it to their ad-
vantage by breaking the united
ranks of the cattlemen in Plea
SAINT Valley and open that rich
grazing land for their sheep. So
they made a deal with the
Tewksburys to send a band of
sheep into Pleasant Valley under
the protection of the Tewksbury
guns and share profits with them.
The cattlemen Immediately
rallied to defend their grazing
lands and Andy Cooper, the
"short trigger man." proposed
to lead party of armed men to
wipe out the sheep and their
herders. But Tom Graham held
him in check, hoping to be able
to scare off the sheep men with
out loss of life or destruction of
property. However, the reckless
cowboys soon got out of hand and
in February, 1887, they drew
first blood by killing a Navajo
Indian sheepherder. Soon after
wards the sheep were withdrawn
from the valley but the peace
which came to Pleasant Valley
was a short-lived one.
Then "Old Man" Blevans,
father of the Blevans boys, al
lies of the Grahams, disappeared
and was never again heard from.
