PRICE FIVE CENTS Party Prepares to Launch Campaign Beginning at Once Illinois Publisher Chosen as Kansan’s Running Mate After Vandenberg Warns He Will Not Accept Nomination NEW LEADER SEES VICTORY AHEAD Demonstration for Vice Presidential Candidate Is Brief in Comparison to 28-Minute Landon Upeurge Thursday Night Platform Text on Page 7 The text of the Republican platform for 1936 will be found on Page 7 of this issue of The Tribune. (By the Associated Press) Governor Alfred M. Landon and Col. Frank Knox of Illinois will lead the Republican campaign against the Roosevelt New Deal in 1936. Each was selected unanimously by the Republican national convention in Cleveland which ended at 12:14 p. m. Friday, The Landon nomination for president followed a 28-minute demonstration by the roaring, shouting delegates Thursday . night. Selection of Knox for the vice presidency came early Fri- day afternoon after Senator Arthur Vandenberg, Michigan, had halted a movement to “draft” him for the position and had expressed the view that he could “serve more effectively on the floor of the senate during the next Landon administration.” Until then Landon boosters had been trying to get him to take a place on the ticket. “Road Leads to Victory”—Landon A high spot in the closing session was a telegram from Landon asserting that the “road led to victory in November.” As delegates left Cleveland they prepared to throw their influence into the campaign already under way. : Col. Knox had left the city evidently with a landslide for him farthest from his mind, He had indicated ah expectation that Vandenberg would be nominated and would accept. There were signs that some of the main Landon leaders were working for Vandenberg on the ticket, even after the convention met, But they finally joined the rush. Governor Harry W. Nice of Maryland and Former Ambassador Walter Edge of New Jersey took the platform, as did Knox and Vandenberg for Landon last night, to withdraw their names and call for a unanimous vote. There was a brief demonstration for Knox when the official result— 1,003 votes—was announced. The inevitable band blared, a few delegates paraded and the Landon cowbells rang. of his nomination in Michigan City, Knox said he was “pro- Cee (eg a ar ag vent Now @2 and publisher of the Chicago Daily News, he has been on the warpath against the New Deal for months.
