 Typical Day
 i A typical day on the Roosevelt campaign train was typical day at the White House as far as rou- time went. He arose at 8:30 a. m, following a late night of work, and at a. m if he had a morning speaking engagement.
 While eating breakfast in bed, he read the morning papers. In the west he perused the front pages of New York first editions almost si- multaneously with New Workers, thanks to airplane service provided by the railroads.
 After a shower and a self shave with an old fashioned straight razor he would remain is his private car and receive local politicians, work on speeches, sign government mail and at some stops, talk over has tily arranged telephone direct from the train to Washington. After a particularly strenuous evening he usually has rubdown in the morn ing.
 His audiences with local politic- ians necessarily were brief due to the demands on his time. No press conferences were held on tour.
 He kept up the White House cus- tom of utilizing the lunch hour for . conferences. Mrs. Roosevelt would learn his luncheon plans, order for him and his guests, then go into one of two regular dining cars and lunch with the lady secretariat. Sleeps Welt On Train

grasping hands and greeting chill dren often seemed the part of cam paigning Landon liked best. And many close advisers considered ii the most effective phase. Those jammed about his rear platform frequently would say: If the vot- CTS could only meet him personally there would be no question about the outcome" a
 DroUe Home TDo Ideas
 At 49 in fuddy health, Landon withstood the rigors of strenuous campaigning better than many oi his aides. His stamina amazed those who travelled with him. A dozen rear platform talks between arising and bedtime, shaking hands with hundreds and working on fu- ture speeches did not prevent the nominee from walking forward OF his special train to greet party delegations too large for accommo- dation in his private car.
 Once, when riding through a hard rain, he ordered the top of his car lowered so that he could wave his hat te crowds along the way.
 These people are here to see me, the candidate told an aide who re- monstrated. I'm not going to dis. appoint them"
 In all the thousands of miles oi campaigning and scores of rear platform talks, Landon repeated two statements more than all others One, which almost always drew ap- plause. was: We do not want tc save a dollar at the expense of the truly unemployed, but we do want relief administered without waste without extravaganza, and, above alb without partisanship.s
 Landon usually opened his brief talks with the second d statement and it drew the most laughter. T know you have come down to look me over. We'll, that goes both ways. I've come to look you over too But we are here primarily because we are interested in good government"
 This transition line took the can didate into the more serious portion of his speech.

By HUGH WAGNON
 and WILLIM L. BEALE (Who Accompanied Governor Lan- dcn on His Campddgn Tours)

TOPEKA, Kans., Nov. 3. = The man who campaigned the length and breadth of the nation as friend ly, smiling "Alf," quietly awaited the voters decision today on wheth- CT he shall become President AL fred M. Landon"
 As Chief Executive of Kansas, he was Gov. Ali M. Landon." But the Republican conventions nomin- ating certificate was issued to Al fred M. Landon." That is the name under which Republican Presiden- tial electors filed in every state and that is the name Landon would sign officially as President.
 But regardless of the outcome, he will still be "Alf'' to his intimates with one notable exception-Mrs. Landon who calls her husband Al fred"
 The homely informality of the nickname was perhaps the dofni- nant characteristic of the candidate and his presidential campaign methods.
 Hello, I'm Ali Landon," he fre- quently introduced himself walking through bystanders at railway op- erating stops. And rarely did he address large throng without hearing a few Alta boy, Ali" or Give it to Elm, Ali"
 The kinship apparently created between the candidate and his rear- platform audiences by the short "Alf," and the Governors middle western ease of manner spelled a folksy atmosphere aboard his elab- crate campaign train with its nine cars in addition to his own pri- yate car and the loud speaker equip ped rear platform he referred to as my back porch on wheels"
 Leaning almost doubled over the railing of this travelling back porch.

forward to the press cars, Landon himself was fond of good food and he wanted his meals at regular hours. Before a major speech, how ever, the nominee ate crackers and milk. Afterward, he usually enjoy ed dish of ice cream before going to bed.
 Landon evidenced no illusions about his ability as an orator but was crack editor. The prepara- tion of a speech began with a con- ference with advisers on the sub ject matter; rough outline by Lan- don; a rewritten version by his staff; editing by the Governor and then final polished draft.
 : Special attention was given to ra- dio delivery. Experts on voice, the most effective phrasing, sentence construction and type of delivery were included on the national con- mittee staff.
 In speaking, Landon concentrated on his delivery, but no detail in the crowd immediately before him was too small to escape notice. If heckled. he singled out his heckler and replied directly to him.
 The Republican nominee started his campaign from the outset with the firm belief that to win, his par ty first must banish any defeatist attitude. To the end he always ap- peared confident of ultimate victory,
The Daily Alaska empire., 1936-11-03

When the nominee did fire, his usual chatty mood vanished and he, was occasionally curt, even ab- rupt, in cutting short tedious pro- grams to gain the privacy of his own room and rest
 Finding himself moving at snail's pace, behind band, he ordered his car to skirt the marchers and speed directly to his hotel He did not seem enthusiastic over parades, evidently regarding them as a cam paign chore. But once in them, Landon waved his hat repeatedly, often standing for blocks.
 Three Recreations
 During the campaign, the candi- date indulged as often as possible three favorite forms of relaxation: bridge, horseback riding and de- tective stories. ~.- ....+., , After days campaigning and a major speech at Milwaukee, the Governor delayed departure of his sunflower special an hour and half while he played bridge with re- porters. Finally, at a. m, Landon arose to leave, 65 cents winner.
 Those who played with or against the Governor described him as an able player, inclined to take an "all or nothing gamble in the bidding"
 Before making a major speech at Buffalo, the Kansan read a detec- tive story until after three o'clock in the morning
 During good weather while in To- peka, Landon rode his Hunter "Si'' Sometimes. while travelling he would find an opportunity to ride as at Frank O. Lowden's Sinissippi farm in Illinois and J. .N. Ding) Darl- ing's home in Des Moines. ea
 During train operating stops when there was sufficient time, Landon more than once walked down the track a quarter of a mile for exer- else. ~ ,s,... . r
 NeDspaperman's Campaign
 In many respects, Landon's cam paign could be called a newspaper mans campaign. Newspapermen were on his board of strategy; edi- sors comprised the majority of members of his personal party on each campaign drive and the Gov ernor liked to chat with reporters on his train, all of whom he know and called by their first names.
 Portions of gifts of food along the campaign route often were sent

 he must have been pre-ordained to be a travelling salesman because he just loved" the road.
 Of the 50,o0o 900 persons who are likely to be voting today, MT. Roos- evelt's associates on his campaign travels estimated roughly that one tenth must have seen the Demo- cratic standard bearer on tour per- sonally.
 Larqe CrowS
 Political crowds sometimes are de- captive. Roosevelt crowds were what veteran Scribes on the campaign special called large and exceeding ly demonstrative. Alfred E.. Smith had record crowds in 1928 and some writers even to this day are saying they fooled him.
 Police estimated Roosevelt indoor audiences at from 10000 to more than 30,O00; his outdoor bowl crowds as high as 60,000 and his street crowds at from several thousand to more than hundred thousand s Drenching rains kept few in- doors, it was apparent to one who saw the President stand uncovered in many downpour and talk to scores of station crowds.
 Rain water is good for man who's getting slightly bald" a New York audience heard him wisecrack while standing beside his friend and political associate, Gov. Leh- man.
 But I've got more hair than Gov. Lehman at that" he added as the crowd joined him in laughter.
 Western Audiences Quicker"
 The more responsive crowds ap- peared to observers to have enjoyed his storytelling and side remarks along with his digs at Republican leaders, whom he labeled two rnouthed' Januses and political bedtime story tellers..
 The President himself is keenly

HYDE PARK, N. Y., Nov. 3. - Franklin D. Roosevelt rested at his mothers home in the tiny Hudson river village of Hyde Park today while his countrymen were writing with ballots the momentous decis- sion whether he is to serve another four years in the White House.
 Rested is the proper word. For veteran political writers who &C., companied the tall, 54-year- old Chief Executive as he 'proclaimed' the New Deal in more than 60 speeches over, the nation testify it was no easy job, despite the radio and loudspeaker which permitted him to save on travel. ,eA

 It was nothing new, however, for the President.

All the food served to him is carried through compartment cars from the regular dining car with walters doging Senators and Governors in the narrow passageways.
 While receiving some assistance on background material from Sem ators and others who accompanied him, including Judge s. E. Rosen- man. his counsel when he was New York Governor, the President dics tated virtually every line of his formal addresses, according to his aides.
 He usually waited until the last moment to polish them off. working right up to the "dead-line" as were the 25 to. 36 correspondents who travelled with him. M
 Intimates explained this was due to his desire for the flavor of fresh ness. Some newspapermen were far from fresh after they had sat up as late as four and five in the morning finishing advance abstracts of a few of his speeches.
 Someone may have thought up a better one, but he usually got a laugh when. in thanking some we'll wisher for bouquet for Mrs. Roose- welt, he would say: V
