TODAY and
TOMORROW
(By Frank Parker ftiockbridge)
LANDOM . j . of
I have never met the Kepub4ca.il
candidate for Prcuideut, ball most oi
the men who organized the campaign
lo-r his bonfaiation are good friends
<ii! mine. If All' Landon is half as
good as they tell me he L, be wi J
make great camjvoCgn.
lie prefers, he says, to be called
?'Alt'" rather than Alfred, although
Air i Landon thinks Alfred isr more
dignified. He has signed Ilia name
'4Alf for a good many years and
sees no reason to change it now. Men
who were in college with hilm tell ine
his name umkI to be "Fox" Landou.
My guess is that anyone who takes
him for a simple-minded innocent is
going to be fooled. He has been iu
Kan ;us politics all his life, and they
know what polios is, in Kansas.
There are few states in which so
jivvny people are poetical minded &s
in Kan?a.s, or take their politics more
.eriously.
KNOX . . . . hoary hitter
I have known Frank Knox, Lan
i'rtu's running mate, only as a news
paper mutt. In the newspaper busi
?e s he has demonstrated that he is
4 good fighter, both on paper, .and in
.lis eariy days, with his ti?ts when
locos, ary,
Like Alf Landon, he is a veteran of
the World War. He is .also a veteran
?f the Spatjioli War. That he is a
,-oad ? oulier scons to lae to be prov
!(J by his ready acceptance of second
pkaci? on the ticket when he was out
i'or p met. I had lunch with him
a couple of months ago and at that
J.me me felt sure cf the Presidential
iomin/wioa.
My hunch in that CoL Knox wit*
mof?t of the heavy hitting in the Re
publican campaign. I may change my
ii/'tid, however, after Alf Landon geta
into action.
HAMILTON . . .
I had two or three virfitei with John
HanUlton last Winter before he t'*>k
hold oi the Landon campaign. I siz-j
ed him up then .?> a scrapper who can ^
think fast on his feet. Ited-headed,
freckle-faced^quare-'-'houldered, with ^
a jaw that jute out like a bu'Jdon
John Hamilton i? the personification
of energy.
The new Republican national chair
ivu has been in the rough and ftjimble j
?t' Kansas politics since boyhood.'
i'our vcarj he was opposing Alf
Landon. iipw he is trjpng to put him'
41 tlie While Hou!>e. He proved him-j
iolf a great pcliijcui strategist by'
ai.T tvunpaign for Landon 's noaiina
iuii, which was easi'y the biggest po
'itcal achievement I know anything
about. . (
Whether nis candidate wins or Ios
?n, John flanki ton at 44, has made
uiiu ^lf a factor to be reckoned with
n p\ future counqils of the Repub
lican Party, the' control of whieh he
ta* definitely shifted to tjhe restless,
oi'ward-k>o1;irig Middio Wast
HOOVER ... happy
1 spent an hour with Herbert Hoo
??or jit# r.s the Cleve'kmd Republican
Convention was adjourning.. Echocs
)f the applause with which hps speech
it Cleveland was received were still
tinging in hin ears. Congratulatory
Jelegrams and betters were piled two
.'cet liigli in his New York hotel room
Mr. Hoover w,as both proud and
nippy. He wa-. proud t|p> pc^cut out
.hat the Republican platform had
K en built on the principles wtyich he
tad been advocating in his public
'peoches for nearly two yeans. He
vvas happy because of the e\{kleiice
-hat had been given of a united party
mder aggressive leadership. He lookr
ed better than I had ever seen him
look. I jiakecl hlim if he wa> going tip
take an .active parti in the campaign,
"I'm going fishing", he said, ''bpl
III do anything they call on tne to
do".
I have a hunch that he wttll be call
ed on.
BORAH Influence
The one ou'tstanding Republican
that I know of who is not quite hap
py over the adfon of the Cleveland
Convention is Senator Borah. It
wouid be surprising if Mi} Bojarh
ware pleased. He im made it * poind
