Highlights of Landon’s Address

Highlights of Gov. Alf M. Landon’s speech accepting the republican nomination:

“The 1936 platform of the repubiicap party sets out the principles by which we can achieve the full national life that our resources entitle us to enjoy, ;

“I intend to approach the issuesg fairly, as I see them, without rancor or passion. ...The time bas come to pull together.” “As a result (of New Deal poli: ries), recovery has been s 2. back again and, again. . . .The time has come to sfop thig fumbling wiih recovery.” “American initiative ig not a commodity to be delivered in pound paclgages through ga goveramental bureau.” “The small businesz man—-the average American—lackg confidence in the soundness of federal policy; he is afraid of what may come next. We niust dispel hig fear.” j It must be kept in mind that the gecurity of all of us depends on the good management of our commonaffairs. »

“Crushing debts and taxeg are uswally incurred, as they are being incurred today, under the guise of helping people—the same peopl, who must finally pay them. Sy * “Our party holds nothing to be of more urgent importance than putting our, financial house in orde..”

“This government. . . . ig still the government of the people. Any change which the people want they can, hav by fqllowing the procedure they themselves laid down. It is not. my belief that the constitution is above .change.” “The republican party proposes to restore and to maintain a free competitive system—under which and only under which can there be inde pendence, equality of apportunity. and work for all.” i Rl “Phe Ameérica that is to be. .. ghould be a nation in which the cld wrong things gre going out and the new right things aré coming ir.”
