IS CHOSEN AS LANDON THEME

‘0, Suzanna’ “to Greet - G. 0.P. Delegates; 40Piece Band Hired.

BY THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer CLEVELAND, June 5.—Harden your ears, ye voters of America, to the strains of “O, Buzanna! Get that banjo cross your knee!” , For that lilting pionees song, telling the glories of the Oregon Trail

and all it connotes—and you are supposed to connote a ‘shy, smiling fellow who is Governor of a “typical prairie state-—has been selected as the official campaign tune of the Alf M. Landon campaign for the presidency. The Landon people have hired a 40-piece band to serenade the incoming delegates, Also an accordion trio. They are doing it up in style. And you might as well harden your ears to it. :

They're Swinging Into Line

For the Kansas Governor, who's beginning to grin from placards all about this city, is almost as good as nominated. The bandwagon parade has begun as the leaders arrive and try to find some place to park their grips, and some convenient excuse as to why they had not tagged on sooner. J. Henry Roraback, the tall, broadshouldered national | committeeman

: from’ Connecticut, one of the Old

Guard Eastern triumvirate, hit the Oregon , Trail first. He comes from a small state, but Old Guardsmen up and down the land have long been in the habit of taking their cue from him. Daniel S. Pomeroy, committeeman from New Jersey, another of the Old Guard trio, is here as head of a delegation which is pledged to Landon, Thus his hands are tied—except in sage counsel, in which the Old Guard insists in indulging itself.

Hilles Appears Uncomfortable

The other and most powerful member of the triumvirate, Committeeman Charles D. | Hilles of New York, still manitains that inscrutability for which he is famed, but he appears to be getting uncomfortable and lots of his New| York delegates are growing very, very restless. There's a better sign still.that this convention is ar be cut-and-dried as far as the presidential nomination is concerned. That’s none other than the slender C. Bascom Slemp, formerly national committeeman from |Virginia, whose Job for years has been lining up the Southern delegations. Taking him off into a corner, the reporter learns that it's Landon with him.

Rank and File Convention

“This is a rank and file convention,” he says in his solemn way. “The rank and file of delegates are for Landon. As the former secretary of Calvin Coolidge I regard Gov. Landon -as the nearest approach to the Coolidge ideals.” And listen to National Committeeman Walter F. Brown of Toledo’and

New York City, an Old Guardsman, when it is suggested to him that it looks like Landon: “That's a very good conjecture at this time. There's a very general sentiment for Landon among the delegates throughout the country.” The cadaverous ex-Senator David A. Reed of Pennsylvania, chief lieutenant of the once powerful Mellon dynasty, sees a lot of Landon sentiment in the bulky Pennsylvania delegation—and when Pennsylvania broke for Herbert Hoover in 1928 it was all over.

Old Guard Quiet Now

The Old Guard is a quiet, docile crew here. Its members don't parade around and manage, as they have been wont to do. They wander about as if they were lost. The truth is that the city slickers have been taken in by the country boys. The country boys are a genial, likeable lot—small-town editors (aside from the skilful strategists of the Kansas City Star, headed by Roy Roberts and Lacy Haines), state Legislators, Kansas fellows who chew tobacco and face things quietly—who LAER AT & : slowly have been passing out the al SA ¥ 3 word here and there about their CS Governor and letting it soak in to build up a character in contrast to the man in the White House. Their decision to hire a band was typical.

Sounded Like Good Idea

A few were sitting about headquarters. Some: one suggested they ought to have a band. Good idea, nodded the others. Seemed to be the thing to do. One was for a 20piece band. Somebody else thought that wasn’t big enough and suggested 40 pieces. Ought to have a lot of brass, put in another. How much would it cost? They figured it down. ‘ So the band was hired. +40, Suzanna!” Up and down the land you'll hear it. “Git that banjo on your knee.”
