don's speech. In Del Monte, Calif., Postmaster General James A. Far ley, chairman of the Democratic national committee, said:
 T didn't hear MT. Landon's speech, but that doesn't make any difference. People will pay about as much attention to this one as they did to the ones he made last fall" Landon Used Gestures
 Landon displayed the vigor of a platform speaker throughout his address, shaking 8 finger and rais- ing his fist in frequent gestures.
 Mir. Roosevelt is a changed man." he said. "He is not the man who was elected in 1882.
 "It is apparent that MT. Roosevelt is going through the same process that transpired in the life of every man in history who was given too much power. Power feeds on power today, just as 1t did in the days of Julius Caesar. And while I feel that MT. Roosevelt should be given every honor that is due him, the time has SCAAV WAAVkA WC AAAJtou V1Aa11kC methods in Washington"
 He explained that he had re- mained silent until last night be- cause he had hoped that after the election the nation might consoli- date its gains. Even when the su- preme court reorganization plan was announced, he said, he felt 1t a patriotic duty to refrain from making the issue one of partisan ship.
 But now" he said, "the time has come to act"
 Gave Some Praise
 Landon praised the president for "commendable service" in the emer- gency between March and July, 1883, but he pictured MT. Roosevelt as having failed when the situation called for @ different type of abil- ity, requiring quiet, hard, pains- taking work.
 The president, he said, had refused to consult able legislators with years of experience, but turned drafting of the legislation over to some col- lege sophomores.
 Landon asserted that the presi- dent wasted practically the entire session of congress of 1887 fighting to get more power for himself" He charged that the administration used all its mighty power" to pre- vent public hearings on the Black appointment, in disregard of the constitution.
 Recalling the Presidents recent statement that progress lags, Lam don said that MT. Roosevelt's solu- ton was @ demand for more power coercion of congress, domination of the supreme court. Why Do We Lag
 "The real solution facing this country today is why do we lag II, social progress'?" he said.
 "The real reason why progress has Jagged during the last four and one- half years is the failure of the President to follow our constitu- tional method of government and his failure as an administrator.
 He accused the President of hav- ing adopted a dangerous" labor policy that failed to protect either life or property, and said that although the Wagner act was a step in the right direction, 1t would prove to be "an unavoidable messed up piece of legislation that will have to be done all over again."
 Men were shot and clubbed," he said, land, according to press re- ports, the President shrugged his shoulders. He said 1t was a local affair. He said: "A plague on both their houses,' and went on another vacation"
 Question of Relief
 After assailing the National Re- covery Act and the Social Security act as examples of college sopho- more" work, Landon turned to the question of relief.
 T do not need to tell you that relief has been made a political football" he said.
 "The present policy of relief may be all right for those who want to stay on relief, but to the self-re- specting man there can be only one question: When do we go back to work?"
 New Deal tax policies, Landon declared, are another obstacle tc industrial recovery.
 Landon outlined methods used tC draft the New York state insurance law, which he said was drafted according to constitutional proce- dure by men who really understand the art of drafting legislation"
