EMBITTERED MR.. LANDON

bitter man has arisen out of the Republican
wreckage of last Presidential campaign. bitter
in political feeling, but still with aspirations to lead
his party. He is Alfred M Landon, the G. O. P. stand
bearer of 1886 who night before last stepped back
the political picture reassertng himself head
of his party and bouncing the Roosevelt admins
tration with faut-findng abandon.
There evidence from Mr. Landons remaZs
that time had not tempered his defeat of last fall,
nor had it broadened his viewpoint There
nothing constructive in the plattudes he hurled at
President Roosevelt and indirectly at the majority
of the American people There was no suggestion for
improvement offer of helpful counsel in steering
the ship of state But rather, the utterances were
those of embittered man. seeking tituar glory but
apparently unmindful of the falacy of his previous
course or of the sentiment of many of the people
within his own party.
Mr. Landon said he has been silent for year
because good taste and good government demand
that an elected official be given opportunity to
establish policies which he promised the voters but
now the time has to act So the former standard
bearer acted in loud words and the tone of his words
indicate that during that year OF silence he has
brooded over his defeat and wants TO start out
his party where it left off ingloriously year ago.
From the Landon remarks there is reason to believe
that the Republican party has gone on toward re-
construction and left Mr. Landon standing at the
tempted to pull away from Mr.. Hoover only to have
the latter resume control and throttle it down to
ultimate defeat
To the credit of the Republican party it should
be said that majority of its members have been
pulling away from reactonaIy doctrine and attempt
ing bring the party principles in line with modern
conditions but apparently its leadership determined
not to profit by former mistakes Some one in the
Republican councils might suggest to the sefasserted
head of the party the result of recent Republican
poll taken in the former strong Republican state of
Pennsylvania.
The Pennsylvania Republicans were asked: Are
the present principles of the Republican party ade-
quate your opinion to meet present-day needs?
More than half OF them answered an emphatic
no
On vote for liberalizng the partys policies $4,000
favored liberalization and only 10000 voted to cling
to reaction
There is evidence indicating the Republicans of
Pennsylvania at least need for principles and
new management for the Grand Old Party There is
reason to believe that like situation exists through
out the country
Yet, Mr.. Landon reasserts himself head of the
party-and the old reactonary platform
which led to his defeat in 1886 and the defeat of Mr.
Hoover four years previous.
There must be considerable chucking around the
council tables of Democratic leaders. Advancing the

Industry is to benefit under this
sway which gives to workers GER
tain advantages that stimulate their

cooperative policies great advant-
ages will be gained by the unions.
Under this planetary direction

young man may become sutton.
Womens clubs and other organ
cations should benefit today when
philanthropy and the arts are well

forecast.
Accidents threaten under this

than ever before in this year 1887.

mot be signed by those who trust
the omens read in the skies. eau

matters.
Although sports will gain in pop

Motives Discussed

Seattle TimeS)
There are those who feel that every movement
of Mr. Roosevelt must have underlying political sig
nificance must have bearing upon his pending plans
in government and more upon his personal
future in politics. In advance of his coming, while
he was here and following his departure, there has
been much discussion of motives; much speculation
he has learned. Clues missing in all reports of
his public speeches and informal conversations. The
osensible purpose of family reunion hasn't convinced
everybody; it would nave been much easier for him
to have called for such reunion in Washington or
at Hyde Park That he came to see the country and
to inspect projects in which he is interested also
falls short of general satisfaction to cause There
must have been-you hear it on all sides-"something
else"
The truth of the matter may be found close to
the fact that Mr. Roosevelt likes to get around and
never hesitates go when he feels like it, His mileage
as President already exceeds that of any four of his
predecessors combined He enjoys-as who does not?
the plaudits of the multtudes; and he knows,
of course that plaudts will be plentiful wherever
he goes Even the little girl with rings her fingers
and bells her toes could not have been surer of
music More intimately, he likes to impress upon
others a sense of his cameraderie No question of
sincerity necessarily pertains in saying he plays the
part of the good fellow the good mixer and plays it
well. Political motive, if any, has been under cover

passed the memorial endorsing the Dimond bond bill Voting against the measure were Davis of the First, Laiblin of the Second, McCutcheon of the Third and Smith of the Sec ond Supporting the measure were Anderson. Coffey, Dan Green, Ken nedy. Lichtenberg, Nerland, Race, Rogges Ross, Nell Scott Tolbert Scott and Speaker Joe Green.
 Representative Nerland, veteran member of the House and Repub- lican from the Fourth Division, led the fight on the floor for the me- morial, backed by the entire Fourth Division delegation and Coffey of the Third.
 Nerland Backs Alaska Plan
 Pointing out that while he be- longed to a different political party than Delegate Dimond, Mir Nerland declared that political lines should not enter into the matter of sup porting the Delegate, who, he de- clared, is trying to put over an AL aska development program which is being supported by the big majority of the people of the Territory.
 'If there ever was a chance to support our Delegate in Congress this is it. the Representative from the Fourth declared. T have seen and voted for a great many me- morials in this House but here is one which I heartily endorse and which I believe is for the best in- terests of the entire Territory The least we can do is support Delegate Dimond on this program"
 MT. Nerland told of the warm in terest of Dr. Ernest Gruening of the Division of Territories and Island Possessions showed in Alaska last summer when he visited the Terri tory
 Dimond Wins Support
 T talked to Dr. Gruening, he said, "and I am convinced that he and the other officials in Washing ton are back of us in seeing Alaska go ahead. Delegate Dimond has won wonderful support.

Miss Frances Harland, talented daughter of MT. and Mrs. Charles E. Harland of Juneau, announced today that she is now accepting ad- vanced piano pupils as well as be- ginners.
 Miss Harland studied piano at the Eastman School of Music in Ro- chester, N. Y, and also in Boston, Mass, with Charles Moulton who was one of the first American pupils of Tobias Mathay of the Royal Aca- denny in London. She studied piano pedagogy at the University of Ore gon and last winter did advanced work at Columbia University in New York City. She plans to remain in Juneau.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1937-03-04

Representative Coffey, Ross and Rogge also talked for the bill.
 "The first question they ask our officials when they go back to Washington" said MT. Coffey. lis, "how much money have you in the Treasury. The reply is around million dollars, or possibly $900,00O Naturally, they then wonder why we don't do something for ourselves. This memorial simply tells the gov ernment from which we are always asking something that we want to do something for ourselves. Of the dozens of memorials we have had in the Legislature, Isdare say that with few exceptions they all ask something of the Federal govern ment. I think this bill should pass to show them that we are interest ed in our own country and want to do something to develop it."
 Other Bills Passed
 Among other bills passed by the House in the final rush hour to get its measures to the Senate were the bill to appropriate $195,000 to carry on an expansion program at the University of Alaska and the House aeronautics measure which would set up civil aviation com mission of experienced aviation men to handle air regulations and re- quirements in the Territory.
 The Joe Green bill to appropriate $50 900 for an exhibit at the San Francisco fair in 1889 also was passed as was the finger-print bill of Nell Scott's providing that driv- CTS of cars carrying passengers for hire be finger-printed. These bills now go to the Senate.
 Both Houses took up committee work this morning and did not go into session until 1 o'clock this af- ternoon.
