TOPEKA, Kas., July 24.— Those who have compared Alf-M. Landon to Calvin Cool-

|idge were not far wrong in

some striking and fundamental essentials. In the short, simple, quotable sentences plainly phrased, in his insistence ypon' economy in government, in his ideal of less government from Washington and more at home, the Republican candidate revealed a kinship with the New England President in‘ his address accepting the nomination last ‘night before a howling mob of Kansans and enthusiasts from nearby “prairie states.” There’s a lot of New England in Kansas. The state was setued an: relics of the puritanical strain survive—in ‘the prohipition complex for instance, ‘in the still lingering emphasis on personal economy, the insistence on value ‘received. All of this responded quite nat-

expensive government at Washington. ‘
