The text of the appeal made by
Governor Alfred M. Landon fol-
public interest in good govern

pie of Omaha and surrounding
territory of Nebraska to come
here this morning to wish me
well on my journey to my birth
place in Pennsylvania. / am
going back there, to the little
town in which was born, to

office for which 1 have been
nominated.

bOrIy receptions received yes

people feel in the vital business
of just government.
PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE
"As American citizens. we are
responsible for the kind Of gov
eminent we have in our COM
munity, our State, and at Wash
ingtOn.
I'VE cannot escape being gov
erned. We have the choice of
governing ourselves or Of being
governed. Under the American
system, the people are the gov
eminent when they take lively
interest in the selection of those
who represent them in the State
and in the nation.
I'VE can be certain that we
shall be wellgOverned when the
people take such an interest. II
we do not believe this to be true,
then we abandon our faith in
American institutions. When
We neglect our responsibilities
as citizens and leave the bust
ness of government to others,
we cannot be sure that we shall
be well-gOverned; nor can we
complain about the government
we get. Ours is the blame If it
turns out to be bad.

N. CLAIM

NEW YORK, Aug. 81 Q.N.S0.
Representative Joseph w. Martin,
jr.. of Massachusetts,, eastern di-
vision campaign manager for the
Republicans, today predicted that
Governor Alfred M. Landon will
carry New York State by at least
$1,000 votes in November, saying:
ct is a little early for exact
figures, but on the basis of sur
veys made so far 1 think am
safe in saying we will lead up
State by 100000.
OFFSET N. Y. CITY
Coming down to the Bronx
line with that margin We will
easily offset a possible Demo-
cratic lead of 100000 in New
York city"
Martin said the American In
stitute of Public Opinion poll,
which indicates Governor Landon
will carry Sc per cent of the vote
in Maine, is too conservative, II
anything. He declared:
THE poll roughly corresponds
with a private poll of leaders we
have just taken. But our poll
showed Mr.. LandOn has about
20 per cent of the vote at this
time"
NOT CALF LANDON"
Martin cleared up speculation
as to how the Kansas governors
name will appear on the ballot.
He said it would be alfred M,
Landon," and not "Alf Landon" or
"Alf M. Landon."

girls. Elizabeth left them all at home.
It was grand, too, eating a dinner
she hadn't prepared. There was
campus talk of professors, dramatic
club plays, dates and men. But with
the salad Elizabeth hoped Susan
hadn't forgotten the waters dad liked
with his endive. And was the dress
ing thin enough? She stopped herself
abruptly. Let them do the best they
could-let them manage alone.
The chaperon broke in upon her
family worries.
What became of John Fisher, Miss
Berkley?"
CURPRISED, Elizabeth faltered.
- "Why-South America, think
he is"
"Fisher?" A spectacled girl at the
table spoke. Wasn't that the man
who talked in economics this morn
ing. Jane?"
Eyes. wasn't he handsome? So
dark-kind of an accent, but so
thoroughly American. And he went
to Maryland State!"
Elizabeth's heartbeats drowned out
the rest of the conversation. John
was Stephens guest! No doubt about
it and her own selfishness had
cost her the opportunity of seeing
him. How dry the cake tasted &.
how silly the conversation. Elizabeth
wanted to go home. Home to the
family and John Fisher.
Five years drowned themselves in
the few minutes that just passed. She
knew she wanted to tell him she had
kept her devotion for him. But had
he married some one her hands
were damp from the fear Of it. She
could not wait for Stephen to come
for her. She had to know that
everything was all right.
WHEN dinner was over she made
an excuse. And hurried down
the walk to run almost all the way
home. She kept thinking. "It's my

He leaned down and kissed her.
There were tears in her eyes.

why didn't you tell me?" she
pleaded.
Stephen pointed to three pieces Of
pie on the table.

pletely her chances of the seventh
piece of pie. When Stephen brought
John Fisher home he would say.
"Here. Elizabeth. half of my piece Of
pie is your piece" And he'd make
her eat it.
It was Johns name with her first
flowers. Shed kept the yellow petals,
tied in a volume of Indian love lyrics.
But that was five years ago, and John
had taken back his Sigma Chi pin
and gone to South America.
"TOO long to be tied up, John," she
= had said, pretending he would
find some one there-hoping so much
he would not. She knew it was his
blue eyes and bronze hair she would
remember. She loved him for his
steadfastness and the dimple in his
square-cut chin.
"I'll take it back" he said, "but not
what 1t represents. Five years or fifty,
I know what I want. It'll be gosh
awful without you. but some day I'll
come back"
He kissed her good-by. holding her
close for a long time. She was sorry
after he had gone she had not kept
the pin. After a while she was glad.
She cut scenes like that from her
memory and bound them in gray.
If mother hadn't died the day after
graduation from Maryland State,
Elizabeth might have been in Balti-
more, laying out ads. That was al
most forgotten now, just as John
Fisher was almost forgotten.
The kitchen door opened and 16-
eear-old Susan showed her blond
head.
Good news, sis! My clubs due
here tonight. How about some butter
scotch pie and loads of whipped
cream? Be 10 of us!" The melody
of a late song hoated back as Susan
disappeared.
ELIZABETH took down the dish
pan. two furrowS between her
eyes. Why couldn't she tell Susan
her back ached from ironing? Let
her buy ice cream and cake. Why
should she stay home and bake all
her life?
