LANDON DEP[ORES
'UNCHARTED' RULE
Nation Needs Commanding
Voice to Point Way, He
Tells Bible Class.

BY tn6 ASSoClaJeQ treSS.
KANSAS CITY, May 23.--Gov. ALI
M. Landon of Kansas told the Ma
tional Federation of Mems Bible
Glasses today the United States has
'listened in vain for the commanding
voice that might at once diSpel our
doubts and uncertainties and point
us into safe courses"
The Republican presidential posi-
bility declared America needs, first
of all, a revival Of moral conscience.
1t needs to be aroused anew to real,
to fundamental values.
In the stress and confusion of re-
cent years and in the din of conflict
ing counsel, we have lost our bear
ings and we have listened in vain for
the commanding voice that might at
once dispel our doubts and uncertain
ties and point us into safe courses.
I'VE have waited and hesitated, the
courage and resolution Of old has
seemed to fail us and our moral fiber
has seemed to weaken" he said.
There is peril in that situation.
"Our economic welfare may be
threatened for the moment and our
industrial progress may be retarded
for a season without final or total
disaster. Far more serious is the pos
sible collapse of character, a possible
paralysis of individual initiative and
a deadened sense of personal obliga-
ton and responsibility"
The Kansas Governor told the 300
Bible class delegates sit is within
the power of men like you to estab-
lish and maintain standards that will
afford both challenge and a guide
to our common country"

President Hopes
TOShOw Mother
Wisdom, of Rest
BY ], RUSSELL YOUNG.

There Is going to be some serious
tween President Roosevelt and his
mother, Mrs. Sarah Delano RooSe-
welt, over the week end at the Roose-
welt ancestral home at Hyde Park,
N. Y.
These two members of the dynamic
Roosevelt family are expected to match
forcible arguments, each solicitous to
restrain the physical activities of the
other.
Mr.. Roosevelt will seek a promise
from his rugged 82-year-old parent.
whose hip bone was recently cracked
as q result of fall, to remain in
bed long enough to permit her in
jury to heal. She, in turn, is ex-
pected to plead with her son to do as
little travelling as possible during his
forthcoming campaign.
Before leaving Washington Friday
night to spend a few days with his
mother, the President was advised by
her physician that the injury was not
necessarily serious, but added that
early recovery depends almost entirely
on her remaining in bed. An old fam
lily friend, the physician warned the
President that the patient should not
walk for at least three weeks. He
told Mr.. Roosevelt during a long
distance telephone conversation that
he felt confident the impacted hip
bone will heal, If Mrs. Roosevelt can
be kept quiet.
The President gave the impression
he is far more sure of his reelection
and a lot of other things the New
Deal is aiming to accomplish than
he is Of winning this argument with
his mother.

until 2:3O pm. the crowd began gath
ering nearly an hour earlier. filling
the stadium grandstand before the
same youthful band which led the

and crackerjack; booths offered cakes

Possibility of Conference in
New York Seen-President

Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
HYDE PARK, N. Y, May 23-Dem-
ocratic leaders waited tonight to see
II President Roosevelt would bring
more direct pressure to bear on Gov.
Herbert H. Lehman to reconsider his
decision to retire.
With Lehman and Democratic Ma
tional Chairman James A. Farley both
in New York City over the week end,
politicians speculated over a possible
week end conference between the
President and the two, or with Leh-
man alone.
Twice, before he left Washington
last night to visit his 81-year-old
mother, Mrs Sara Delano Roosevelt,
who is confined to her bed here with
a fractured hip, the President ex-
pressed a strong hope that Lehman
would change his mind and seek a
third term.
Spends Day With Mother.
The Governor merely commented
his original announcement spoke for
itself.
With politics and official business
adjourned for the time being, Mr..
Roosevelt spent most of the day at
the bedside of his mother. He went
directly to her from the train before
breakfast and found her resting COM
fortably.
DR.. Scott Lord Smith, the family
physician, told newspaper men Mrs.
Roosevelt had fractured the great tro-
chanta bone projecting from the thigh
bone, but that the hip was not i'm
pacted as first reported.
He added his patient would have to
remain of her feet for several weeks.
There were no complications and he
believed there would be none.
Injured 10 Days Ago.
Mrs. Roosevelt was cheered consider
ably by the arrival of her distinguished
son. She injured the hip in a fall
10 days ago at the entrance to the
New York City home of her grand
daughter, Mrs. John Boettiger, the for
/ mer Mrs. Anna Dali.
In midafternoon the President mo-
tored over the estate and witnessed
the opening of new farm road near
his cottage. the Waikiki.
Later in the day, he pressed a but
ton to open by radio signal new
harbor development at Balboa, Calf.
There were no official callers all
day. The President expects to re-
turn to Washington Tuesday morning.

Hoover Out of Picture.
Mr.. Hoover has declared he is not
candidate for the nomination and
gone back to California. So far as
can be learned, he has made no plans
vet to attend the convention in Cleve-
land.
Senator William E. Borah, who is
an active and important candidate for
the. presidential nomination, has said
he will not enter any combination IN
opposition to any other candidate.
That does not mean, however, that he
will not oppose airy Of the candidates.
MIR. Hoover has said he is not oppos-
ing any candidate. But that does not
necessarily mean he will not oppose
any of the candidates when the con-
vention gets under way.
The Republicans so far have picked

make up the national convention at
Cleveland OF these delegates already
chosen only $50 have been actually
instructed" to vote for specific can
didates Others have been advised"
by primary and convention how to
vote. Such convention could do
anything. However, unrestricted dele
gates in many cases have made up
their minds what they want to do
right now
President RooSevelt's denomination
is as certain as death and taxes. The
Democrats have picked 904 of their
delegates to the convention, which
will open in Philadelphia June %,
and all of them are for Roosevelt, with
the exception of AL Smith and a very
few others.
Senator Vandenberg is to take to
the air in Kaltenborn radio Interview
next Sunday night. Senator Borah
intends to set forth his position
Thursday night in radio address
that will be nationally broadcast.
Strength of Landon.
The claims of various Republican
aspirants for the presidential nomina-
ton already are mounting. John

san on the first ballot and nomination
by the third. Knox managers are say

The Republican State Convention in
Illinois instructed the States eight
delegates at large to support Knox.
The speech of Postmaster General
James A. Farley, Democratic national
chairman. in Grand Rapids, Mich,
last Wednesday, in which he referred
to 1.-THE Governor of typical prairie
State" and implied that this Governor
did not have the qualifications to be
President today, has been widely taken
up by the Republicans, particularly
those of the West. Farley did not
mention Landon by name, but it was
clear to whom he was referring. The
Westerners resent, they say, the slur
which Farley put upon the prairie
States.
Senator Capper of Kansas yesterday
predicted that this remark of the
Democratic chairman would react in
favor of Landon, if Landon becomes
the G. o. p. standard bearer.
II am surprised that the Democratic
chairman should have made such

mated. But to stop Landon for four
ballots the anti-Landon leaders must
bait their hook. They must have
some one upon whom they can center.
So far it looks as though the most
likely choice for such a role would be
Senator Vandenberg. The rumor IS
about that Col Frank Knox, Chicago
publisher, would be willing to line up
for the Michigan Senator if and
when Knox becomes convinced that
he himself cannot make the grade.
Knox will have a SiZeable group OF
delegates voting for him when the
convention meets. Whether he could
deliver them to Vandenberg remains to
be seen. Some of the Knox delegates
are known to be favorable to Lam
don and when they leave Knox it
will in all probability be to go to
Landon. Knox is longtime friend
of Vandenberg. They worked at one
time on the same newspaper in Grand
Rapids.
The first ballot cast in the Repub-
lican Convention may be really reveal
ing. 1t may show such Landon
strength-which the Landon people
devoutly hope-that a bandwagon
movement will quickly follow. 1t may
show very considerable number of
votes cast without delay for Senator
Vandenberg, although he is not an
avowed candidate and has made no
campaign for delegates. 1t may show
the leaders in the populous Eastern
and Midwest States, and in some of
the other States, holding their dele
cations in line for favorite son can
didates.
Bay State Question.
Perhaps nothing more clearly DEM
onstrateS the jittery state Of the Re-
publican politicians as they discuss the
coming convention and presidential
candidates than the remarks of two
delegates to the national convention
from Massachusetts who have recently
been in Washington. One of them,
shaking his head, wondered whether
the write-in vote for Landon in the
Bay State presidential preference pri-
mary really had been large enough to
demand vote for Landon by. the
Massachusetts, delegation. Landon had
about $4,000 such write-in votes, far
more than the write-in votes cast for
all the other presidential possibilities
on the Republican side. do we know
enough about Landon and his stand
on important issues and measures"
he asked.
The other Massachusetts delegate
had no hesitation whatever in declar-
ing that Landon would have from Is
to % votes in the Massachusetts, dele
cation on the first ballot. He added
that Landon would have the votes
of the great majority of the delegates
from the New England States.
