NATIONAL CAPITAL
By Carter Field
FAMOUS WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT
Washington. — Governor Alfred
M. Landon is being overwhelmed
with conflicting advice as to how he
should conduct his campaign. If he
still retains the calmness and good
nature that his old friends admire,
by the time election rolls around he
will have graduated into the super¬
man class. More likely there will be
some kind of blow-up, with advisors
dropping away from his train, from
Topeka, and from Estes Park, in a
procession resembling the deser¬
tions from the train of Queen Marie
of Roumania when she toured this
country.
But of course there is no telling
at this stage which particular group
of advisors will be dropped or
pushed overboard in the time re¬
maining of the campaign.
Landon’s natural impulse, and his
calculated thought so far, is to make
a very dignified campaign, not
striving for oratorical effects, not
pretending he has a cure-all for the
nation’s ills, and developing the
theme that was so successful in his
pre-convention campaign—that he is
a “Kansas Coolidge.”
Many of his old advisors agree
that this is shrewd strategy. They
like the idea of such a contrast with
Franklin D. Roosevelt. They point
out that in the first place Landon
could not possibly beat the Presi¬
dent at his own game, especially as
Roosevelt is recognized as having
just about everything it takes to
make a perfect orator. He not only
has the voice, but he is a good actor,
has a marvelous sense of dramatic,
and has developed “timing”—even
more important in oratory than in
golf—to an amazing degree.
There simply is not time, these
advisers point out, to bring Landon
up within striking distance of Roose¬
velt’s near perfection as a speaker,
either before a multitude or before
a microphone.
Some Disappointed
V Those who insist on Landon's
changing his style admit his limita¬
tions as an orator. They admit that
probably the Kansas governor just
cannot be made to change his voice,
and that while he is a little better
now than he was last spring, his
timing is still rather bad.
.This, they insist, is hopeless, but
just because that is true is no reason
why the governor should not put
more punch in his speeches. They
stress the failure of the governor to
“measure up,” as they put it, to
expectations on his recent eastern
tour.
Much had been expected by the
country, they insist, of that partic¬
ular trip. And they further contend
that the country, to put it very
mildly indeed, was far from thrilled
at the governor’s orations—either
his set speeches or his short back
platform talks.
So they want the governor to take
off his gloves and start trading
punches with Roosevelt. Not by pure
oratory, but by smashing charges,
alternated with simple promises of
what he will do, if elected, to cor¬
rect the situations he assails.
That course, and that only, they
insist, will give Landon a chance to
beat the New Deal.
But that, insist what might be
called the old school of Landon’s
advisors, is just what the Demo¬
crats want. The New Dealers, they
say, want Landon to talk a lot so
they can shoot at him. They have
the best propaganda machine in the
world, and are all set to tear the
G. O. P. nominee to pieces. Whereas
so far they have been deprived of a
target.
Of course to the old political hand
it is obvious that the G. O. P. ma¬
chine should concentrate its fire on
Roosevelt, while Landon should con¬
fine himself very largely to con¬
structive statements as to what he
will do if elected—being very care¬
ful on the last not to take in too
much territory, so as not to alienate
any of the widely differing groups
now held together by a common be¬
lief that New Deal policies spell
ruin in the long run.
Theory Upset
Janies A. Farley may be building
up to d'n awful let-down in his theory
that folks' will not bite the hand
that’s feeding them. He certainly
is if the election recently in Knox
county, Tennessee, is anything of a
weather-vane.
Farley was counting on the fact
that some 3,000 Tennessee Valley
Authority workers have been living
in Knoxwille for the last three
years, and that his efficient local
organization had seen to it that
most of them were registered—and
gotten to the polls on election day.
But they didn't vote RIGHT. Knox
county rolled up the biggest Repub
lican majority in its history for the
Republican candidate for sheriff.
and. for the first time since 1918—
the year Woodrow Wilson appealed
for a Democratic Congress—elected
a solid Republican county ticket.
Just before the August 6 election
Gordon Browning, Democratic nom¬
inee for governor, addressed a mass
meeting in Knoxville. He told the
assembled Democracy that Presi¬
dent Roosevelt was more interested
in Knox county than any other in
the United States. He told them he
CLEVELAND COURIER
was j^ing to take great pleasure,
the day after election, in wiring
President Roosevelt the results.
Knox county folks are wondering
if he did. They are a little surprised
that the newspapers up North failed
to pay any attention to their little
battle down almost under the
shadow of TVA's Norris Dam. They
had thought, from what Mr. Brown¬
ing and other Democratic leaders
had told them, that the whole coun¬
try would be reverberating next
day with this “barometer” on na¬
tional sentiment.
But they found out that the rest
of the country is still tvondering
what Maine will do on September 14,
and no one cares, apparently, that
TVA workers did not vote Demo¬
cratic.
The figures are rather interesting.
J. Carroll Cate, regular Republican
nominee for sheriff, received 16,061
votes to 10,873 for his Democratic
opponent, J. D. Val Crippen, while
an independent Republican candi¬
date, received 2,658 votes.
Beat Farley Man
Nor was this the only shock that
the New Deal received that day.
For apparently the- whole force of
the state organization, both United
States Senators, and what help Jim
Farley could bring to bear was con¬
centrated on nominating Burgin E.
Dossett for governor. Whereupon
the Democrats of the state beat
Mr. Dossett by 135,000.
This figure, however reflects no¬
thing with respect to the sentiment
of Tennessee on the New Deal. The
victor, Gordon Browning, had been
beating his breast almost as vehe¬
mently as Mr. Dossett in protesting
his entire loyalty to it. In fact it was
Mr. Browning who tried so hard to
arouse the Knox county Democracy
in general and the TVA workers in
particular to do their utmost in Knox
County’s “weather-vane” election.
All that this Tennessee primary
proves, it would seem, is that even
the alphabetical agencies, added to
ordinary political organization, do
not always decide the day in a
primary fight.
Tennessee Republicans, of course,
are jubilant. They insist that this
spells a revolt against Roosevelt.
They insist that the Tennessee Dem¬
ocracy is fed up on the New Deal,
and may throw the state to Landon
in November.
Such an outcome is certainly not
indicated by any polls which have
been taken. All these place
Tennessee safely in the Roosevelt
column. But there is no escaping
the point of the Knox county
election, although it would not seem
fair to apply it, pending the de¬
velopment of further facts, to com¬
munities in every state where large
numbers of federal employees are
able to vote.
The point would seem to be that ;
regardless of the political character j
of their original appointments, these j
employees are apt to vote just as j
they please, regardless of the pleas
and demands of their patronage
benefactors.
Change Methods
Long absolute range necessity weather in forecasting working out Is j
an
either crop control or crop insur- \
ance, in the opinion of shrewd :
career men in the Department of
Agriculture. Little has been done i
about this so far as the government |
is concerned, though as a matter of j
fact it has been advocated by the j
"permanent staff” of the Agricul- I
ture Department for more than ten i
years. /
During this period certain large j
corporations have done a great deal
of experimenting, in which the ex- I
perts connected with took the the Agricul- keenest j
tural Department j I
interest. Certain corporations, for
example, employed Herbert J.
Browne, now dead, who devoted his
whole time, with considerable suc¬
cess, to long range weather predict¬
ing.
Browne was not interested in
whether it would rain next week, or
whether two months hence the crops
would be burning up. He was inter¬
ested in whether next summer
would be hot or merely warm, what
would be the approximate rainfall,
and whether there would be plenty
or a scarcity of snow wintei after
next.
Any attempt to explain his
methods in detail would take the
writer well out over his head into
deep water, though he has listened
time after time to Mr. Browne ex¬
plain just how he did it. In sub¬
stance, it has to do with the ice
patches round the two poles and
various other elements, which grad¬
ually produce situations resulting in
cold or heat, rain or drouth.
Two more feet on a glacier in
northern Alaska or up north of
Siberia today, for instance, would
make’ all the difference in the world
as to whether a certain wind, which
may be blowing in Nebraska two
years from now, will be blasting or
cooling, and whether it will carry
rain clouds or a dust storm.
Glaciers move slowly. Hence the
possibility of calculating what they
will do when they arrive at a cer¬
tain place, moving at a known rate,
though the movement is impercepti¬
ble to the eye.

A T THE time when this is be
ing written no general an¬
nouncement has been made by
Warner Brothers about Doris
Wester, but watch for a flood of
stories about her. She, you’ll re¬
call, is the Major Bowes amateur
who made good.
When she sang on his program
months and months ago somebody
of importance heard her, and first
thing she knew she was signed up
for the Rainbow Room in Rockefel¬
ler Center—one of the nicest, and
smartest of New York’s night clubs.
She went right on from there. Re¬
cently she was tested for the mov¬
ies, and it was said to be one of the
most successful ever made. So
she, like many others, will switch
from radio to the movies.

When Ginger Rogers went east
on a vacation recently she made it
publicity depsrt
ment that she was
going for fun, not to
spend all her time
being interviewed
and posing for pho¬
tographs. Her last
trip east was that
kind of trip.
So this time she
has been having
fun, going to thea¬
ters and dancing
(wouldn’t think
shg’d have had enough dancing to
hold her for a while, when she got
through with “Swing Time” with
Fred Astaire?)
Joan Fontaine, Olivia de Haivi
land's younger sister, is headed for
success. Jesse Lasky has signed
her, and she will make her first
picture in England, unless plans
are changed.
You girls who want to go into
pictures might take a lesson from
Olivia, by the way. Although she
grew up in California, not so aw¬
fully far from Hollywood, she did
not tackle the movie studios. She
stayed home and went to high
school and worked hard with the
school dramatic club—and it was
as a result of that dramatic club
and its performances that she
broke into the movies without the
slightest difficulty.

Do see “To Mary—with Love,”
especially if you like Myrna Loy
and Warner Baxter, the team that
made suc\ a success of “Broadway
Bill.” This is quite a different sort
of picture, one of those young-mar¬
ried ones where disaster threatens
the course of true love. It is very
well done.

It’s a great relief to everybody
that Jeanette MacDonald and Gene
Raymond have announced their en¬
gagement. For years and years
people have expected her to marry
her manager, Bob Ritchie, who has
certainly guided her affairs very
well. They say the blond Mr. Ray¬
mond looks like a young man with
whom she was in love when she was
on the stage, before she gave the
movies a thought.

When you see “Reunion,” the sec¬
ond feature picture made by the
famous quintuplets, you'll also hear
them talking. It’s being made now,
with some of the same actors who
appeared in “The Country Doc¬
tor.”
And did you see that delightful

more delightful scene than the one

“Pitchfork Ben” Tillman
South Carolina, whose hat was def¬
initely in the ring, prodded the del¬
egates uni .ercifully and the wordy
battles from the platform spread
to one fist fight after another on the
floor. Then Bryan was recognized.
“We are fighting in defense of
our homes, our families, and pos¬
terity,” he declaimed. “We have
petitioned and our petitions have
been scorned. We have entreated
and our entreaties have been dis¬
regarded. We have begged and
they have mocked us when our
calamity came. We beg no more,
we entreat no longer, we petition
no more—we defy them!”
His remarks were on the finan¬
cial plank of the Democratic plat¬
form and Bryan fired them directly
at the delegation from New York.
Then he closed with the defiance
which still rings down the corri¬
dors of time: “You shall not press
down upon the bfow of labor this
crown of thorns, you shall not cru¬
cify mankind upon a cross of gold.
He “stopped the chow.” The
delegates went wild. When the
business of the convention could be
resumed the day following, Bryan
was nominated.
His defeat by McKinley, two suc¬
ceeding failures for the presiden¬
cy, in truth settled a crown of
thorns upon the brow of Bryan
which he was doomed to wear un¬
til the last public act of his life—
participation in the famous “mon¬
key” trial down in’Dayton, Tennes¬
see. He held, ;tnd he swayed, mul¬
titudes with the power of his ora¬
tory, but on election day he could
not mark their ballots for them.
THE FIRST PLATFORM
YYNE of the essentials of a mod
ern political convention is the
adoption of a “platform”, upon
which the Presidential nominee is
to “take his stand” during the
campaign. Whether or not he
stays on it is quite another mat¬
ter but few candidates would think
of going before the “peepul’ with¬
out one.
The first platform appeared dur¬
ing the campaign of 1840. In that
year the Democrats, holding their
convention in Baltimore, set forth
what they considered the funda¬
mental principles o their party.
Asserting that the federal govern¬
ment was one of strictly limited
powers and that all grants not ex¬
pressly made to it were reserved
to the states, this platform
Declared against the assumption
of state debts, contracted for lo¬
cal improvements, by the federal
government. of federal
Denied the power the
government to foster one industry,
or section, to the detriment of an¬
other.
Asserted that the federal govern¬
ment exceeded its authority when
it raised more revenue than was
required to defray the ordinary ex¬
penses of administration.
Denied the power of congress to
interfere with or control the insti¬
tution of slavery.
Declared against the handling
of public funds by private banks.
Denounced restrictions upon the
privileges of citizenship and of
ownership of land with respect to
foreign immigrants.
They then unanimously renomi¬
nated Martin Van Buren for the
presidency and got ready to fight
the battle of ballots along the lines
of policy they had laid down. But
if they expected their opponents
to meet them on that ground they
were grievously disappointed. The
Whigs not only failed to adopt a
platform but they failed to put
forth any statement of principles
for the very good reason that they
didn’t have any. They disregard¬
ed issues entirely and launched
their whirlwind “Tippecanoe and
Tyler, Too!” camoaign.
The bewildered Democrats stood
firm on their platform and watched
the procession go past—a triumphal
procession for the Whigs!
