OLITICS by PERTINAX With charity t a toward a Things Are Tightening Up President Roosevelt made some votes by his trip into North Dakota —but the Republican effort is pepping up and also is having some effect. That is the observation of un- prejudiced men who have no major interest in politics but who keep their ears open and usually know what the people are thinking. The general analysis now is that Landon is strong in the cities of the state with Roosevelt leading in the tural districts but that Republican arguments about the importation of foodstuffs under the New Deal and the real or alleged inequities of the Democratic farm program are making some converts to the Landon cause in the rural areas. As long as the farmers were under the impression that Landon was “Wall Street's man” he didn’t have a chance in North Dakota. But in recent speeches he set some pet Wall street ideas back on their heels. The result, according to some ob- servers of the national scene, was to cool the ardor of the financial inter- ests at least a little but thé effect on his candidacy in this area has been good. The present indication is that the election in North Dakota is going to be a good deal closer than many Roosevelt partisans had supposed. * * % The “Hands Out” Theory The shift of some farmers toward Landon, according to the best impar; tial information, is based on the idea that the government will continue to take care of the needy population if Landon wins just as it has done under Roosevelt. They feel that situation will not be changed as long as con- cations remain as they are, hence there is a growing tendency to ignore it in their thinking as to how they shall vote. Six weeks ago many people on relief had a positive fear as to what would happen to them if Landon were elect- ed. They were desperately for Roose- velt, regarded his re-election as essential to their welfare, The reason, perhaps, lay in the emphasis which the Republicans had given to the necessity for balancing the budget, with its implication that expenditures for a stricken people would be materially reduced. They recognized the desirability of balanc- ing the budget—but they didn’t want it balanced at their expense. After their initial declaration the Republicans have placed less emphasis upon their budget-balancing aims, more on thgir attitude toward recon- struction. .P. workers are quoting widely the Bismarck statement of John D. M. Hamilton, Republican national chairman, that any government would have rushed to the aid of any part of the nation stricken by disaster, since the government always had. It is having some effect. * % * Stories Have to Match One of the difficulties confronting both major parties is the necessity for telling a story in New York which will stand up in Dakota or California and vice versa. The reason lies in the fact that each side is watching the other with hawk- like eyes. The speeches of the can- OUT OUR WAY ex pe cueer. \/admieni Te is NRIN' AT, 1 ALL.

It may not be|and will leave at 10 a. m. in a cara- cidates are printed everywhere. Im- proved press transmission facilities make this easy. When a man goes on the radio he is likely to be heard over a wide area, especially if he is speaking on a hook- up. As a result it is now impossible to tell the workers of the East one thing and the farmers of the West another thing. The farmers know what is told the workers and the workers know what is told the farmers, The only exception to this rule is the whispered “inside stuff” peddled at first hand by political workers. In the average campaign these gentry elways have a story to tell which ap- parently fits the peculiar situation of the listener. Some of these tales are weird beyond belief and no one ever seems to know where the information came from if an attempt to check on it is made. But even this type of campaign is Jess effective than it used to be. If the stories do not jibe with the public utterances of the candidates they are discounted. The result is that political cam- paigners are having to show more re- spect for the intelligence of the aver- age voter than used to be the rule. * * &% Why the Difference Out here, where the Resettlement edministration is generally credited with having done a good job—al- though there are plenty of criticisms leveled against it, too—it is a little difficult for fartners to understand why this same agency has been placed under severe fire in other sections. One of the reasons for this may be inferred from a bit of propaganda used by William Hard in one of his broadcasts for the Republican na- tional committee. It is probably the choicest example of so-called bureau- cratic fumbling he could uncover, but it is obvious that it wouldn’t take toany such examples to leave a bad taste in the mouth. The story is that of Kenneth Black- burn of Indianapolis, Ind., jobless painter who had been reared on a farm. He was pl on a farm of 135 acres, but the Ind turned out to be sub-marginal, so another farm was leased from one W. J. Howe on a share basis. So Hard’s story went, the government agents gave Blackburn al- most daily instruction on how to farm but: He ploughed five acres for tomatoes and got no tomato plants to set out 60 that idea failed. i He ploughed two acres for potatoes but it was too late for early potatoes and too early for late potatoes. &o no potatoes went into the ground, because before the problem was worked out at regional headquarters it was too late for late potatoes, too. Blackburn then ploughed two and a half acres for corn, but the govern- ment agents failed to supply any seed corn and finally Blackburn took curn from his barn and used it for seed. But by that time itewas July 17 and the corn never typical.

Harmonizing efforts are, of course, ' being made. But they don't give much hope of being successful. * ee One of the Answers One of the answers may lie in the independent candidacy of Theodore Martell for the state railroad board in opposition to 8. 8. McDonald, Re- publican who has bolted to Langer. Martell's friends are hopeful that he will have the support of the “regular” Republicans, since they certainly can- not be expected to do much campaign- ing for McDonald. iG * % % The hunt for money on the part of all groups goes stealthily on.

ENDS HUNGER STRIKE Whatever he may have told Presi- dent Roosevelt at their conference in Des Moines, the attitude of Gov. Alf M, Landon of Kansas toward water conservation is no secret. He has some ideas on the subject ago as 1934 when the first severe drouth year devastated part of his state as well as other sections of the Great Plains. This is disclosed by examination of Landon’s speeches, most of which have now been compiled into a vol- ume which is feing intensively studied by Republicans and Demo- crats alike.
