' THE HIGH COMMAND SAYS If reports now emanating from the east material- ize at the Cleveland convention, Gov. Alfred M. Lar don of Kansas will be the Republican standard bearer this ar with Congressman James W. Wadsworth \ of New York as his running mate for the vice presi- | dency. It that the eastern Repub- lican jers, convinced at last that a dyed-in-the- wool reactionary cannot carry the banner and win, have agreed that if nothing better offers the gentle- man from Kansas has possibilities would appear | There are several reasons why they might reacn this conclusion. In the first instance he comes trom the geographical heart of the country and has made quite a reputation as a public saver. Gov. | Landon will be recalled as the man who balanced the * Kansas State budget, with the aid of $30,000,000 in Federal funds during 1934¢. Whether it was a re- markable achievement only those in Kansas probably know. It depends, one would imagine, on the condi- tion of the state’s finances before the government| poured $30,000,000 Kansas coffers. The sumption could be that they were rather low, for a lot of budget can be balanced for thirty million. But Mr. Landon’s economy ancing the budget, his history reveals. balancing became Republican campaign talk, the Kansan cut government costs in his home state by twenty-five per cent and was successful in getting | laws through the Legislature which put a tax limit) in effect throughout the state. This. @ hit with the taxpayers with the r nor made an outstanding local reputation it will stand up under national scrutiny matter. Again, the fact that Mr. Landon comes from the heart of the farm belt may have had considerable to do with swaying the eastern Republicans. The tarm vote is something to consider in a serious way along about election time. And, then, the Kansas Governor - has not been entirely unfriendly to President Roose- He favored the agriculture act, ths famous AAA.

He believes in a social security program. He was not particularly uniriendly to the if Wagner labor bill nor the Guffey coal bill and he does § not share the worry of Mr. Hoover over the status i of the dollar. He is a war veteran, a Legionnaire and shrewd enough politician not to take a stand on the bonus, which would indicate he may have real political possibilities. These leanings to more liberal thinking may have had a great deal to do with getting the Governor mnto the inner circles of Republicanism. It could be natur- ally expected he would draw votes from Mr. Roosevelr, and, of course, it is the President the Grand Old Party is attempting to defeat On the other 1d. Gov. Landon is a Republican of long standing. He forme setved as Republican State Chairman and has been active in politics in his state for years. His Americanism, like Mr. Roosevelt’s, is! unquestioned and he might be termed a modern con- servative. Altogether it would appear that the Re- publicans might do much worse for a candidate. It he can swing reactionary eastern delegates at the-Cleve- land convention his chances to run against the Demo- | cratic nominee appear fairly bright. Cong Wadsworth probably what eastern Republicans demanded for lending their sup- port to Gov. Landon. He is reported as a stewed-in- the-doctrine Republican of the reactionary type, who sits up nights worrying about the country under the’ New Deal. Now a member of the House of Represen- tatives from New York, he formerly was a member of | the Senate, and has never been particularly active in either. Most of his efforts have been directed toward viewing the Roosevelt policies with alarm. He sounded the political drum so loud last summer about dictatorship in Washington that some of his friends attempted to boom him for presidential timber, but the endeavor was short-lived. As running mate for Landon, his main purpose probably would be to humor those line Republicans who might look askance at some of the Landon philosophy. man is the | ol¢ At that, it may be the cold spell here and over the nation was just sent out to cool the politicians off a bit before the campaign gets too hot.

It is a good suggestion worthy of Dead As A Doornail. { (Cincinnati Enquirer) Reappearance of the single tax as a topic of politi- cal discussion will bring a touch of nostalgia to older 1 and women, who can remember when a certain prand of liberalism fastened its hopes in the gay nineties on the tenets of Henry George.
