weeks ago declared he would starve
the capital into submission, rather
than batter its populace with artil-

merciful surrender.
They said he would substitute "fear

thunderous but not devastating ar
tillery barrage.

Gov. ALI M. Landon of Kansas leaped
into the limelight during the week
just closed with his first speech on
national affairs.
A canvass of the views of Republican
Senators and Representatives shows
that the statement Of the Kansas
Governor was we'll received, and some
of them are convinced that Landon
will be the Republican nominee of the
Cleveland convention next june.
This prediction, however, is some-
what premature. There are yet to
come the presidential preferential pri-
maries in 13 States, which may show
how the wind is blowing in the Repub-
lican camp. So far there has been no
announcement that Gov Landon in
tends to have his name entered in any
of these primaries. What his friends
may do in this matter has yet to be
developed.
Furthermore, the Kansas Governor
still remains to the vast number Of
Republican voters an unknown. It is
said that he plans to make another
address on national problems in New
