Roosevelt crowds were what | veteran scribes on the campaign| special called large and exceeding- 1y demonstrative. Alfred E, Smith had record ¢crowds in 1928 and some writers even to this day are saying they fooled him. Police estimated Roosevelt indoor audiences at from 10,000 to more than 30,000; his outdoor bowl crowds as high as 60,000 and his street crowds. at from several thousand to more than a hundred thousand. Drenching rains kept few in- doors, it was apparent to one who saw the President stand uncovered in many a downpour and talk to scores of station crowds. “Rain water is good for a man who's getting slightly bald,” a New York audience heard him wisecrack while standing beside his friend and political associate, Gov. Leh- s, “But I've got more hair than Gov. Lehman at that,” he added as the crowd joined him in laughter.

He arose at 8:30 a, m., following a late night of work, and at 8 a. m. if he had a momingl speaking engagement. While eating breakfast in bed, he read the morning .papers. west he perused the front pages of New York first editions almost si multaneously with New Yorkers, ' thanks to airplane service provlded by the railroads. \ After a shower and a self<shave with an old fashioned straight razor | he would remain is his private car|g and . receive local . politicTans, . work, on 'speeches, sign government mail, and at some stops, talk over a has- tily arranged telephone, direct from the train to Washington, After a particularly strenuous evening he usually has a rubdown in the morn- ing. His audiences with local pelitic- ians necessarily were brief due to the demands on his time. No press conferénces were held on tour. He kept up the White House cus- tom of utilizng the lunch hour for conferences. learn his lunchecn plans, order for him and his guests, then go into oné of two regular dining cars and lunch with the lady secretariat.

BEALE (Who Agcompanied Governor Lan- don on His Campaign.

Landon.” | was “Gov. Alf M. Landon.” But the Republican convention’s nomin- ating certificate was issued to “Al- fred M. Landon.” under which Republican Presiden- tial electors filed in every state and that is the name Landon would sign officially as President. will still be “Alf” to his intimates Landon who calls her husband “Al- fred.” The homely informality of the nickname was perhaps the domi- nant characteristic of the candidate and ‘his presidential campaign methods. “Hello, I'm Alf Landon,” he fre- quently introduced himself walking through bystanders at railway op- address a large throng without hearing a few “At'a boy, Alf” or “Give it to Em, Alf.” The Kkinship apparently created between the candidate and his rear- platform audiences by the short “Alf,” and the Governor’s middle- western ease of manner spelled a folksy atmosphere aboard his elab- orate campaign train with its nine cars in addition to his own pri- vate car and the loud speaker equip- ped rear platform he referred to as “my back porch on wheels.” Leaning almost doubled over the railing of this traveling back porch. 1 LIKED TO MEET FOLKS grasping hands and greeting chil- dren often seemed the part of cam= paigning Landon liked best. And {many close advisers considered it the most effective phase. Thosé jammed about his rear platform i!requenuy would say: “If the vot- iers could only meet him personally, |there would be no question about | the outcome.” Drove Home Two Ideas At 49 in ruddy health, Landon withstood the rigors of strenuous campaigning better than many of his aides. His stamina amazed those who traveled with him. A dozen rear platform talks between. arising and bedtime, shaking hands with hundreds and working on fu- ture speeches did not prevent the nominee from walking forward on his special train to greet party delegations too large for accommo- dation in his private car, Once, when riding through a hard irain, he ordered the top of his car lowered so that he could wave hm hat te crowds along the way. ““These people are here to see me,” the candidate told an aide who re: | monstrated. * Afihfi them. all the thousands of miles of campaigning and scores of rear- platform talks, Landon repeated two statements more than all others. One, which almost always drew ap- plause, was: “We do not want to save a dollar at the expense of the \truly unemployed, but we do want relief administered without waste, vflthw& -extravagance, and, above without partisanship.” ndon usually opened his brief talks with the second statement and it drew the most laughter. *I. know you have come down to look me over. Well, that goes both ways. I've come to look you over, too.

STOOD FOR BLOCKS IN PARADES When the mominee did fire, his Jusual chatty mood vanished and he. was occasionally curt, even ab- rupt, in cutting short tedious pro- grams to gain the privacy of his {own room and rest. Finding himself moving at a snail’s pace, behind a band, he ordered his car to skiri the marchers and speed directly to his hotel. He did not seem enthusiastic over parades, evidently regarding them as a cam- paign chore. But onee in them, {Landon waved his hat repeatedly, often standing: for blocks. ‘ Three Recreations During the campaign, the candi- date indulged as often as possible three favorite forms of relaxation: bridge, horse-back riding and de- tective stories. After a day’s eampaigning and a major speech at Milwaukee, the Governor delayed departure of his sunflower special an hour and a half while he played bridge with re- porters. Finally, at-2 a. m., Landon arose to leave, 656 cents winner. Those who played with or against the Governor described him as an able player, inclined to take an “all or nothing gamble in the biddinz.” Before making a major speech at Buffalo, the Kansan read a detec- tive story until after three o’clock in the morning. During good weather while in To- peka, Landon rode his Hunter “Si”. Sometimes while traveling he would find an opportunity to ride as at Frank O. Lowden's Sinissippi farm in Illinois and J. N. (Ding) Darl- ing's home in Des Moines. During train operating stops when there was sufficient time, Landon more , than once. walked down the track a quarter of a mile for exer- cise. Newspaperman’s Campaign In many respects, Landon’s cam- paign could be called a newspaper- man’s K campaign., Newspapermen were on his board of strategy; edi- ‘ors comprised the majority of members of his personal party on each campaign drive and the Gov- ernor liked to chat with reporters on his train, all of whom he know and called by their first- names. Portions of gifts of. feod along the campaign routé often were sent HURRIED PHROU odvrsnl SHOWERS' forward to the press cars, Landon himself was fond ef good food and he wanted his meals at regular hours. Before a major speech, how- ever, the nominee ate crackers and milk. Afterward, he usually enjoy- ed a dish of ice cream before going to.bed. 3 about his ability as an orator but was a crack editor. The prepara- tion of a speech began with a con- ference with advisers on the sub- ject matter; a rough outline by Lan- don; ‘a rewritten version by ‘his staff; editing by the Governor and then a final polished draft. + Bpecial attention was given to ra- dio delivery. Experts on voice, the most effective phrasing, sentence construction and type of delivery were included on the national com- mittee staff. In speaking, Landon coneentnted on his delivery, but no detail in the ‘cfowd, immediately. before him was too small to escape notice. If heckled, he singled out his heckler and replied direetly to him. The Republican nominee started his campaign from the outset with the firm belief that to win, his par- ty first must banish any defeatist ine f .mxdm.tm‘mmmmqmemmmmmm-«mmm To the end he always ap- Mmumaumnm e LR ] | i i
