back numbers i I 1 do not think they are going I o to vote for Mr Hoover for int in- in t 1 s stance ance who made as many promises as Mr Roosevelt and broke them as completely as j f carelessly and as cavalierly I think the people will want next time a sound and sincere Amerlean Amer- Amer lean jean and a man who ho has a record record rec rec- ord of Amel American can executive performance per

Roosevelt and they will not want a man like Mr Hoover who spent most of his life in foreign lands and just ran home for a few moments to tobe tobe tobe be president They will vill remember how perfectly perfectly perfectly per per- Mr Hoover as a candidate candidate candidate candi candi- date told the nation what ought to be done and how completely as president he e forgot to do it They will remember too how Mr 1 Hoover secretly and surprisingly surprisingly surprisingly sur sur- negotiated the moratorium moratorium moratorium mora mora- on foreign debts which gave foreign nations

policies of the nation Continued Continue i on Pace Pue Two I HEARST THINKS LANDON WINNER Continued from Pace Face One Maybe Mr Jr Hoover had a flash lash of foresight at that But the people will remember how Mr Hoover himself had dictatorial dictatorial dic dic- dic- dic obsessions and delusions of grandeur how he voi voiced ed his contempt contempt contempt con con- tempt for the public and for public opinion and how he sought to make himself a military hero by riding down the poor crippled veterans at Washington No if IC I have bave to choose between Hoover and Roosevelt I will vote for Roosevelt Surely Mr Roosevelt can be defeated defeated de de- de- de but but not b by Mr Hoover I am confident that Governor Landon of Kansas could be elected on the Republican ticket t In spite of the four billion ei eight ht hundred million dollar Democratic campaign fund and in spite of Mr Farleys Farley's plans to the nation Not everybody can be bought bullied or blackmailed Not everybody can be herded to the polls under the party lash Not everybody can be bp carried on the governments government's swelling ever pay pay- pay pay- roll roU Voters are re Independent Not everybody want wants to be a useless useless useless use use- less bureaucrat or an income tax racketeer or a pitiful potato snooper There are even cven those on the dole who will vill not vote for perpetual paup pauperization The vast majority of the citizens of or the United States are Independent Independent independent dent upstanding a and a d genuine Americans and they will wili like to vote for an independent upstanding true American Governor Landon of at Kansas is that kind of an American He has a fine war var record He has a clean business record He has an admirable record for executive ability and honest public service He is a sound and intelligent economist He has balanced his hig states state's budget He has hag reduced taxation He believes In action rather than conversation and his record is one of deeds instead of promises Landon is Practical He says that the trouble with the visionary gentlemen in Washington is that they have never had to meet meeta a Saturday night payroll True and he might have added that if these incompetent gentlemen should be returned to power for another another another an an- other four years there thre might not be many payrolls to meet Another way to beat Mr Roosevelt Roosevelt Roosevelt Roose Roose- velt and to oust his socialist satellites satel lites would be to nominate a notable notable notable not not- able regular Democrat on a constitutional constitutional constitutional Democratic ticket The trouble with the so-called so Jeffersonian Democratic leaders however is that they have not the courage nor the vision nor the sincerity sincerity sin sin- nor the Democracy to run on on ona a third ticket The They all sa say that Palmer and I Buckner polled a very small vote vole I They forget that Palmer and Buckner Buckner Buck Buck- ner ncr were nonentities and that people people peo peo- pIe will not vote for nonentities Praise Theodore Roosevelt Roose They forget that Theodore Roosevelt Roosevelt Roosevelt Roose Roose- velt on a third ticket polled a million million million mil mil- lion more votes than the regular Republican party He was NOT a nonentity NOR nonentity NOR NORa a coward He had the vision to see sec ahead and the courage to go ahead Could a third party win this corn coin Ing campaign Nominate Franklin D. D Roosevelt on the socialist platform Herbert Hoover on a meddle in affairs Republican platform nominate nominate nom nom- a genuine Je Jeffersonian Democrate Democrate Democrate Demo- Demo crate of ability and notability on a third ticket and the third party part would be sure to win Smith could do the trick Ritchie could do it EI Ely Talmadge Tydings could do it But will wili they No I guess we will have to depend on the Republican party to rescue the country from experimental socialism and restore it to sound and stable Am Americanism And I figure the R Republican party part will have to DEPEND on Governor Alfred M.
