Landon was one of the governors who opposed the federal bank deposit insurance law and said it wouldn't work. This was ono of the greatest laws j passed by congress and the country would not have it repealed. It restored confidence in banks and made it possible for them to reopen their doors again.

I lived all his life in Adams county, , with the exception of a couple of ! years when engaged in teaching in, Missouri and Kansas. He was a kind and lovable character, honest ' and sincere. He was honored by i the bar association and in politics, i being elected Justice of the Peace , In liis township, to the Decatur , council and as mayor of this city. ■ He was unassuming in nature, loy- ■ al to those who were his friends ■ ; and had a fine sense of public! ' duty. Decatur regrets his passing, , I D6spite the intense heat, thousand of Democrats and admirers of Clifford Townsend, democratic candidate for governor, journeyed to Marion, Thursday to attend the notification ceremonies. Tributes were paid to him by fellow towns-: men, state and national leaders, i Governor McNutt remarked, "We of Indiana have known Cliff Towns-. end, not so long as you of the Fifth congressional district, but we assert that we admire him as greatly as do you for the capacities he has shown in public office, both as an executive and as a lawmaker. We know him to be a man of sound judgement, always fair in Tiis consideration of the rights of others, always alert with an uncommon amount of good old-sash-, ioned horse sense.” We believe the governor speaks for most of the | state.

DISPELLING THE FOG By Charles Michelson Director of Publicity, Democratic National Committee

In default of any definite expo- i sition of the present views of the Republican candidate for the Pres- i idency. it is rather informative to I consider the personnel of his gen- ; eral staff. Mr. John D. Hamilton, who, according to the newspaper correspondents who have been studying the manifestations at Topeka tells i all coiners, in the presence of the!: candidate, that he is “running the! show," follows pretty carefully the j technique of past. National Com-: mittee chairmen. It is Mr. Hamil-i ton who makes the attacks on the j New Deal, less accuFately than ve-[ hemently it is true, but he furnishes—or has furnished so far —all: the emphasis. He claimed every-, thing for his candidate from the! moment of his nomination, when most of those interested were still 1 looking up the data to estimate the quality of the Governor whom the' Republican convention had made a national figure. Presumably he was following the precedent of the Democratic! National Chairman, whose claim along the same line was so strikingly vindicated by the election of J

1932. There might appear some, evidence of difference in the re-j spective conditions of the Farley and Hamilton prophesies but Mr. : 'Hamilton was following a pattern I and incongruities did not swerve him. Somebody might have mentioned the ten Southern states, when Mr. Hamilton suggested that six might be the limit of Roosevelt I i electoral votes, but the precocious [quality of the venture was too amusing for anybody to take the Statement seriously. As he gets further into the camthe Republican National Chairman may be expected to do better. Experience will teaeh him the unwisdom of impossible forecastings. He may likewise improve ' the character and quality of his assaults on the Roosevelt policies. More practiced orators of the du 1 Pont Liberty League stable have I already said, better and more forcibly. what Mr. Hamilton has been trying to get across. That suggests another campaign mgJiifestation the subsidence of! I he' Liberty League. The circumstance argues some good judge-

incut ,m the part of Mr. Hamilton.! He has apparently realized that • close identification of his candidate with .'he reactionary organization that has financed the Republican campaign might not be good medicine, particularly in the West, >so the members and affiliates of the du Pont outfit will probably say it with their pocketbooks exclusively from now on. Their spellbinders may be expected still to fulminate on the topics of constitutionalism and such other gener- ' j allties, with considerable appearance of detachment from the ac-' trial election. But the Republican candidate is not to be entirely deprived of the i benefit of such advice as the Liberty League has been furnishing The face of the advisory body has, been changed, but the council is

still forthcoming. For example in the Governor's brain trust there now looms Mr. Charlton McVeigh, J formerly connected with J. P. Mor-i gan & Co., unheard of in politics . up to now, but functioning as' Chairman Hamilton's assistant. j Associated with him is Mr. Ralph West Robey—-a distinguished financial writer, formerly associated with the Curtis Company, the most prominent of whose pub-1 lications is the always reactionary ■ Saturday Evening Post. Ho was like wise financial editor of the. New York Evening Post, when that 4'urtis production was a Wall Street organ and, of course, be- ' fore it was sold to David Stern, and became a libera' newspaper. Mr. Robey, so the newsgthers at Topeka inform us, was brought into the Republican councils by Mr. Charlton McVeigh. I note, on the authority of the Baltimore Sun's correspondent, that Mr. Robeys acquaintance with the Republican presidential candidate began when the financial commentator arrived ' at the Kansas Capital in response ! ’ to Mr. McVeigh's summons. The Saturday Eevening Post out-'

fit is pretty well represented a-' mong the G. O. P. board of strate- 1 gy. for Mr. Earl H. Taylor is a-[ mong those present, with the rank of "political secretary.” He used to be associate editor of the Coun- : try Gentleman— the twin oT the Saturday Evening Post. So it is fairly evident that no matter how ingenuous, and how Liberal the Republican candidate may be, Chairman Hamilton is a practical politician, and mindful of the circumstance that campaigns are not conducted with no other expenditure than argument. This does not imply that Mr. Hamilton is neglecting what might be described as the cultural side of his job. Perhaps his influence may have had to do with another phase of the Republican campaign. The can-1 didate capnot go through the person between now and election day in silence, or depend entirely on written pronouncements. The custom of the country demands that he show himself and do some public speaking. Hance this paragraph quoted from the dispatch of Ms. ■

HOW TO REMOVE SPOTS AND STAINS Accidents will happen, and clothing, tablecloths, furniture, and rugs will get. spotted and stained. No matter what the fabric and no matter what has spotted or stained it, it is usually possible by quick action of the RIGHT KIND to remove the stain. If you KNOW WHAT TO DO immediately, you can often prevent permanent injury. Just look on your libiury shelf and get down the Booklet STAINS AND SPOTS and look up the proper remedy in the index. So, better send for your copy now and have it handy for those accidents when they happen. Fill out the coupon below, enclose a dime tor return postage and handling costs, and mail as directed: CLIP COUPON HERE Dept.

Paul Ward, of the Baltimore Sun —which ipaper also numbers Mr. Frank Kent among its shining, lights and which has never been j accused of New Deal sympathies: “Landon has been trying to improve his microphone technique and has taken at least a few lesson in elocution.” I do not quote Mr. Ward's comment on the net result of these efforts. Actually there is nothing either . wicked or even incongruous in a man doomed to public appearance trying to better his delivery of such messages as he feels charged with presenting. A great many of our public speakers have found the | same course advisable, for elo- | quence, or even ease, in making speeches is not always native. J It is to be hoped that the pro- I cess will prove so successful as to | make the Governor fluent in de- | livery and free in expression. For ( there are lots of things the public wants to hear from him and would I prefer they should come from his | own lips rather than from those , of Mr. Hamilton. Because actually it is not Mr. Hamilton who is run- I ning for the Presidency. Nor are | the views of Mr. Hamilton of par- | ! amount importance in this campaign. even though—in his own , language—he is “r unn in g the ! show.” o
