Slow Election Drive, Writer Finds.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 6—From}| all that can be learned, there is considerable pessimism inside the Republican organization at the moment. The jubilant hopes which were aroused about the time of the Cleveland convention, particularly ‘after Gov. Landon sent his aggressive telegram amending the platform, apparently have been somewhat dissipated. This feeling, as nearly as ean be ascertained, traces itself largely to internal organization difficulties and to tHe delay in putting campaign machinery into high speed, | Party leaders realized at the outset that they faced a hard fight to defeat Roosevelt, but it is doubtful if they anticipated that their own troubles: would be as vexatious as they have proved to be. , Some delay was inevitable, inasmuch as a new campaign setup had | to be constructed when John Ham- - ilton replaced Henry P. Fletcher as Republican national chairman. In addition, the Republican organization was in bad condition, due to Ye Jone, period of demoralization 7 ht, 1936, NE : = - Ya which set in under Hoover.

Chairman Hamilton himself has been the storm center of considerable internal pulling and hauling. He has-been beset from two sides. On one side are the surviving Old

These ad- ; : visers feel that Hamilton is making too many speeches defining party policy and that inthis he is committing- the candidate to a line-of campaign which does not always reflect the moderate path which Landon has sought to follow. Then some of the larger contributors in the business world feel that Hamilton is spending too much time on the road instead of taking the throttle at Chicago headquarters.
