Show UINTAH BASIN RECORD Kansas Delegates Cheer Landons Nomination National Topics Interpreted by William Bruckart National Pres 'Washington, D, C. Building' The Republicans Washington. and the Democrats hare their tickets. All Set for The elephant and Big Race the donkey have their Jockeys for the campaign. The tumult and the shouting and the blistering, withering fire of politics, have begun. It is a long way to the finish line where the checkered flag falls for the winner of the race. But the big fight is really on and it is interesting as well as significant to note how it has started. It is always a sure sign that party leaders respect and fear opponents when they start a campaign with a declaration that the enemy Is weak; that his selection resulted from chicanery or boss-Isror that the particular candidate selected has been put up at a sacrifice. That is what has happened already In the current campaign, and you can expect It to continue because it Is stating no secret to disclose that the New Dealers fear Gov. Landon of Kansas, the Republican nominee, and that the Republican leadership, beneath the surface, are wishing for a clairvoyant or crystal gazer to tell them how much of a chance they have to beat President-candidat- e Franklin D. Roosevelt Of course, no astute political observer wmuld dare predict at this stage of the game who the winner will be. On the other hand, It is part of the psychology of the game of politics for politicians to claim everything In sight. Yet, I know that each side expects a real battle, a horse race. The November result Is pretty likely to be determined by events of the next two months. At the end of that time, trends will be evident and some appraisal of the campaign will be possible. In the interim, claims and high sounding phrases will be offered by the basketful and enthusiasm will be promoted. Yet, the end, the result, will not begin to be evident until afterward because this is the season for the tumult and Pres-identl- Roosevelt will have the support of the LaFollettes, Senator Bob and Governor Phil, in Wisconsin. These men, however, have labeled themselves as Progressives, and have not carried the party label of either the Democrats or Republicans. There will be others of the same e warp and woof. There will be Democrats who will do as Senator Copeland of New York has done, take a walk. Alfred E. Smith is not going to support the New Dealers nor will a great many of his followers. So, it is obvious that each party will be subjected to defections of one kind or another. old-lin- concerning mistakes that have been made: Chairman Farley made a bad mistake politically when he said that e Alfred M. don was just the Mistakes governor of a That remark typical prairie state. has been rising to haunt the Democratic chairman almost daily since it escaped from his lips, and unless I miss my guess he will hear it repeated, thrown into his teeth, so many times between now and November that the words will give him a stomachache equivalent to green apples. The reasons this remark was a serious blunder are two. First and foremost is that every state In the Union rightfully has justified pride of its people, its commerce and industry and its future prospects. Every state feels profound resentment when its capacity to do great things is questioned. Consequently, when Mr. Farley catalogued Kansas as a typical prairie state and its governor as there was a surging tidal wave of resentment, and it was not confined to Kansas alone. The second reason why Mr. Farleys remark cut the wrong way was that Mr. Farley is a New Yorker and a Tamtnanyite.

Probably no one In the World knew more about Beauty Spots which they had failed to visit. If they were well informed regarding Switzerland and the Golden Gate and the Piney Woods, It was because they had dreamed about them with so much regularity.

Many and many a crowded Hour did Mrs. Sangwin devote to the blissful Task of picking out the Liner on which they would plow across the Atlantic. Without ever seeing the Ocean, she came to know more about Vessels than anyone on the Shipping Board ever knew. She wrote to every Company and got Bales of Printed Matter including Diagrams, Indicating all of the Staterooms, Social Hall, Life Boats, Dining Salon, Funnels, Drink Parlors, etc., etc. These had to be spread out on the Floor and she would devote happy Days to fussing over the Lay-Oand trying to decide where they would have their Steamer Chairs placed.
