LANDON'S CHICKENS COME HOME, ROOST ON SOCIAL SECURITY

G. O. P Candidate Talks One Way Before—Another After—Nomination

The text of Gov. Landon's acceptance speech was "let us now return to the American way"; the simple formtila of life in other days, whieh Ccl. Knox somewhat more brazenly calb "Preedom of enterprise." The governor declared the people were not pleased with the change. Speaking as the governor of Kansas, rather than the GOP Presidential nominee, on March 29, 1935, before the Methodist General Conference at Greeley ; Colorado, he said; "America bids faJr to join the nations of the world in their march towards a new social and eeonomie philosopby. Some say this will iead to socialism, others fascism. For myself I am eonvinced that the ultimate goal will be a modified form of individual rights anel ownershlp of property out of whieh will eome a wider spread of prosperity and opportunlty for a fuller, richer lile for men. "Moving side by side in this marcli of events are three distinct phases of {national governmental) activitv. They may be spoke'n of m relief, recovery and reform. It is not my purpose to discuss the weakness, strength theory or administration of these new policies of government; nor whether the varicĀis experiments are a success or a failure, nor whether they are here for better or for worse." That was Gov. Landon in person speaking; "individual freedcm" had noi yet c.)me into his menial horizon. Two months previously, at a banquet in Topeka whieh Col. Frank. Knox would be a great testimoniai in his honor, the Landon boom was started by a eouple of newspaper men. But at Greeley, Co., the governor probably had no remote idea as to where the ehoiee wouM faU. So he spoke his mind. TOPEKA, July 23,—"We must be freed from incessant governmental intimidation and hostility," said Gov. Alf M. Landon tonight in his acceptance speech. TOPEKA s July 24.—After eonwith Gov.
