LANDON SPEECH

{Continued from Page 18)

With the wage-payer. Months ago he urged us as Republicans to make it. clear to the needy everywhere

thst the changes we pledge In the | Bit,

administration of relief will in no

wise jeopardize the aid which the

needy must receive, but will entirely

be directed towards bringing order]

out of choas by purging the Federal relief administration of partisan Waste and incompetence, “Gov. Landon, a product of modem America, is aware of the es which modern American appliances and machine-minded civilization have brought about. He knows that the duty of government 18 to protect those handicapped by conditions over which they have no ‘control. ‘have begun to protect childhood but the obligation to protect old age dies straight before us.” He has condemned the present Adminis- . tration’s debauching of the Civil ‘Service and has contended that the merit system in govern"ment employment must be restored, improved, expanded and extended to include the opening up of the higher pdsitions. “Gov. Landon’s attitude an these Questions springs from patriotism and not partisanship. - Accordingly He has made his appeal far beyond party lines to those citizens—Republicans, Democrats and independents alike, who want the government to play its proper part in meeting the problems of our times, but who “wish it to do so without wasting the Substance of the people or endangering their future.”

“TIRED OF EPITHETS”

“He believes that these moderate people want neither radicalism on the one hand nor reaction on the * other; that they want performance and not promises; that they want the elimination of the hysterical done from the government; that they are tired of epithets, evasions, and sophistries; that they want no flouting of the Constitution whether by executive evasion, loose legislation or pernicious propaganda; that they condemn attempts to Create class divisions in a country that knows no classes; and that they propose to solve their problems in accordance with the American Bystem, “This great group of moderate ‘thinking people make up the vast majority of this nation. It is this EBroup to which Gov. Landon hag appealed. It is this group which Ne represents. % “The policies of division, despair, and defeat may be effective in the ‘building up of a political machine, but they will never bring a permanent recovery of employment. They will never bring about a permanent yestoration of confidence, and they will never help to build the kind of future to which Americans have a right to think their country is entitled and towards which our history and our destiny most surely point. : ‘Gov. Landon has dared to voice above the welter of cynicism and despair, created and approved by men in the highest places in the Jand, a few of the essential facts and essential beliefs by which mankind has been surely guided in past centuries in its slowly succeeding struggle towards material progress and spiritual growth. : "He has had the courage not to attempt to compete In promises and anaceas with the false prophets ho for three and a half years have misled and deluded the public. He has not been afraid to recall our ninds to the truth inherent in such supposedly outworn phrases as the ones which say ‘There is no substitute for courage” and ‘his word is Bs good as his bond.’ + "He has been willing to run the risk of being termed old-fashioned in order to reassert his opinion that phrases such as these imply a sense of values we can not afford to lose.”

. “PRODUCT OF OUR TIME”

: “We have been through bitter fimes, and they have left their mark. Our generation has seen the coldapse of the financial chicanery that was to make us millionaires, and the collapse of the political chicanery that was to make us kings. Grimly we know that neither can achieve its promise, that the result of one is poverty and of the other loss of our liberties. * #From {ts inception, through its darkest hours, in its worst crises, the United States has—and I say it with

meet and here is the choice which

we must make. Here is a record of

a modern American—unpretentious, unassuming, willing to serve—but not eager to dictate. Here is a homely record, if you will, and here are homely virtues and common sense answers, Here is no gilt and here no theatrical dramatics, no overwhelming egotism, no selfrighteousness, no pretense of supremacy. “Here is a man who is the product of our own country and our own time, who has made his way as we have had to make ours, and who has assumed at each turn of his life the obligations imposed on him and who has fulfilled those obligations in each instance with credit. Here is a man of typical prairie state who has retained within his heart the spirit and the inspirations of those who came before him and of whom Whittier wrote: “ “They crossed the prairies as of old The Pilgrims crossed the sea, To make the West as they the East The homeland of the free.’ “Here is a man, Governor of a great state, with an enviable record in the high office, proving that administration may have vision and yet be honest and efficient. “Here are the policies for which he stands and the methods which he proposes, and here is something more besides—the undefinable qualities evidenced in his character and record which meets the need of the people of this nation.”

“ASSURE A VICTORY”

“Behind Gov. Landon, as a stand-ard-bearer of the Republican Party, will rally a united party, for he has a genius for creating unity. Behind Gov. Landon will rally that great group of citizens without regard fo party label, who wish to see performance and not propaganda, confidence and not confusion, Behind Gov. Landon, carrying the standard of young American, will rally that great section of the peaple who wish to repudiate the alien philosophies and outworn theories and who, without regard to their own age, are young enough to have faith that we can build: a greater country by carrying forward the dynamic American doctrines of hope, of tolerance, and of effort. “With Gov. Landon’s leadership, we can asure a Republican victary in the coming election, and under Gov. Landon’s leadership as President of the United States, we can gain a naional victory over the forces of depression and despair. | “Here and today the Republican Party makes a choice for itself and for America. Let us then reflect the worthiest traditions of a mighty past and make certain of a mightier future by meeting our obligations for that choice with the one man who ‘can rally to a glorious cause the rank and file of all America, and that man is Alfred Mossman
