Another Foosevelt
(By Robert S. Allen) }
If Landon were just let alone,
to go his own sweet way, and]
allowed to put across to the
American people the same mod= |
est unassuming sincerity hel
shows to the newapaperman,} he|
would probably put on a unigue !
and bang up campaign. |
But it doesn’t look as if they
would let him. And you can’t
help wondering whether, if Lan
don is pushed and pulled around
now, he might not find himself in
exactly the same position when
and if he lands in the White
House. '
If left to his own devices, there
is nodoubtthat Governor Liandon :
would display a political cr(:s;dg
close to President Roosevelt’s. |
The two men are not atall furf
apart in their basic economic
and social beliefs. |
The chief difference probably |
is that Roosevelt is more aggres- ;
sive iu asserting those beliefs, |
has put himself well outin fronti
of his party—in fact, so far outl
in front that he has lost the
support of one section.
And if the Roosevelt-haters
'é? G. 0. P. bosses now rooting
for Landon ever took the trouble
to get really close to him, they
would discover, much to their
horrer, that Roosevelt and Lans
don probably could sit down to~
gether at their comimig drought
conference and not only get to
like each other, butalsofind they
have infinitely more in common
than they have with the G, O. P,
and Democratic bosses around
them,
Only question-mark is whether
Landon is going to be able to get
away from all his chaperons.

Governor Talmadge. |
W, M. COX.
| A Farmer to the Governor }
| Governor Talmadge: Taking
advantage of your offer to answer
any question any Georgian would
ask you, that you made at
Monroe, I ask:
Where did you get the money
to fight the New Deal in your
travels and broadcasting over
{ the national hook-up.
; Where did you get so much
i money to investin farm and farm
limprovement, when you said
i when you first ran for office that.i
|the courts were about to gebl
| your last dollar? |
} Why do you accept and ask
{mouey from poor men to help
your campaign, when you are'
worth so much, and seem to have |
a puall on big money?
! Why do you keep harping on
1 the process tax (a dead issue) and |
|acknowledge it raised the price
{of farm products, and expect the
% farmer to think he is hurt by it,
lor has it to pay. |
| You claim the process tax}
| raised the price of flour from
153,6.') to $7.20 per barrel. Don't
‘lyou think the farmers ought to
‘lhe glad of any legislation that
{ would do that?
| How canyou afford to ride into
the Governor’s chair claiming
;you are with the President, and
%turn against him when elected,
|and leave home when he comes
‘l to visit you?
Why do you tell and expect
[folks to believe that Hamilton
!and Harrison were into a plot to
gtry ard prevent you sending
|| money to the several state insti~
Itutions. when you know that
| would have been only one of the
. ]effects of their not signing your
| warrants and left you with only
| two things to do; call the legiss
lature together and get the
| money to them by law, or take
,| the bayonet and run these two
| men out that let their conscience
| keep them from violating their
| oath of office and get men that
maybe didn’t have to take that
oath or something? .

4 Columbia, S. C., Aug. 26.—
| Senator James F. Byrnes, friend
lof the Roosevelt administration,
i’won renomination by a landslide
‘majority over two anti-Roosevelt
opponents in yesterday’s pris
mary, a count of approximately
Ahalf the ballots indicated today.,
1 With 1,172 of 1,474 precincts
|reported, Byrnes had nearly
|seven times as many votes as his
two opponents combined.
| The issue of the campaign
unadulterated except by consid

| He won the Democratic nomis
‘| nation yesterday, a nearly com=
| plete count of primary ballots
showed today, by a vote just
| short of twice that of two op~
{ponents combined. The nominas

Mississippi is solidly Demos

| Supporters of President

victory as a triumph for Mr.

a mainstay of the adminisiration

Harrison had been ‘'merely a
