ESSTLESS DRVE JARKS HAMILTO Dynamic Chairman of G. 0. P. Plans to Cover U. S. by Plane. BY WARD MOREHOUSE. Precial Dispatch to The Star NEW YOEK, June 20 (NANA)— There's a gréen-shuttered, two-storied, white clapboard house, No. 1616, on Boswell avenue, a shaded street in the town of Topeka. It's authentic New Hampshire in a block and on a street where nearly all else is just Kansas. Simple ruffied curtains are at the windows. There are great elms in front and back. The corner cupboard 1s stocked with glass antiques. The rugs are braided, the beds walnut. It's New England on the Kansas plain. This house is, and has been for 15 years, the home of John Daniel Miller Hamilton, campaign manager for Al- fred Landon, and now, as chairman of the Republican National Commit- tee, the director general of the Re- publican drive for the presidency. Boswell avenue has seen littie of John Hamilton in recent months. His fam- {ly—Laura Hall Hamilton, his wife; Daniel Hamilton, his red-headed 19- year-old son, and Laura Hamilton, his 11-year-old daughter—hardly expect more than a few glimpses of him be- tween now and November. Hamilton Has One Brother. The late John Daniel Miller Hamil- | ton, 1st, one-time Mayor of Fort Madison, Towa, and Mary Rice Hamil- ton of Keokuk, Iowa, had two boys— no girls. One son was Hale Rice Hamilton and the other John Daniel Miller Hamilton 2d. Hale, now 57, turned to acting. John, perhaps with superior histrionic gifts, applied his talents to law and politics gained Broadway prominence in Winchell Smith’s “The Fortune Hunter,” and was one of the theater's foremost players when he did “Get Rich Quick Wallingford.” Now, with his fame dimmed, he no longer be- longs to the Broadway picture. He is playing small parts in Hollywood. John, 44, is now the dominant force in the Republican party. He is a new and spectacular figure in American | politics By his political astuteness, his re- Hale BY RICHARD B. FOWLER. N HEARING of his nomina- tion as the Republican candi- date for Governor, Landon's friends could be excused for being doubtful. It looked like political suicide. There was nothing cheerful in the set-up. Landon would promise neither Jobs nor favors. He was a poor public speaker. And for all the advance promises, the Republican party was still split wide open as it went into the Democratic landslide year of 1932. | Gov. Harry Woodring, Democrat, had |8 fairly popular administration, and Brinkley, the goat gland man, was back with a part of his former fol- lowing, a $20,000 silver-mounted mo- tor car fixed up like a radio broad- casting station, and a persecuted gleam in his eyes. ‘What few persons realized was that Landon was a political “natural,” that he had methods of his own. He started, typically, in Western Kansas, where few candidates bother to go. His friend, W. G. West (a candidate for Governor in 1936), asked a West~ ern politiclan about Landon's first speech. “It was terrible,” said the politician. “It was so bad it was good.” Not a Back-Slapper. From that time the Landon star rose in the Kansas sky. His friends, and Landon himself, discovered the strength of the methods that were natural to him. He couldn’t mas= thrilling speeches, but the people who heard them believed in him. He was not a back-slapper; but he turned out to be the most accomplished vis- itor in Kansas politics. Somebody later was to say, “Alf Landon gets more votes by bumming cigarettes than any other man ever | won by giving away cigars.” In every | town along his route there were po- | | litical leaders to introduce him; but | they seldom were fast enough to keep= ahead of him. In a Wichita garage, where he stopped for a 15-minute job on his car, he noticed a group of men sitting on an old chassis. “If there ain't the great Landon,” | said one of them with obvious sar- | casm. | “Yes, I'm Alf Landon, but people | don't always recognize me,” he said. | “Are you going to vote for me?"” | | sistless drive, his boundless energy and his seemingly limitless talents as speaker, he has heartened his entire party. John Daniel Miller Hamilton is sandy-haired more than red-headed. His son Daniel, now at Phillips Acad- emy, Andover, is a real red-head. His father was a read-head. John Hamil- ton’s hair is curly, his jaw is square, | his mouth wide, his nose well chiseled | and his hazel eyes are well apart. He frowns rather constantly and he often has a strained look. He is nervous, restless and often given to caustic speech. He is terse, direct and in- cisive. He is a fighter. Just look at that jaw. His wit is sharp and his tongue is frequently profane. He has an engaging smile, is rather a good listener and he's expert as a story tell- er. He's something under 6 feet, weighs 170, was never given to ath- letics and can toss off his highballs. Convinced Landon Can Win. There’s tremendous drive to the fellow. He has quietly convinced him- self that Landon can be elected. I've talked with John Hamilton a good deal during the last 10 days. In Cleveland, in Topeka and in the skies, en route from Kansas City to Newark. In Topeka, after a hard day—confer- ences with the Governor, with Frank Knox, with national committeemen— he took time for a full hour’s infor- mal chat. “We're going to win this thing,” — LOST.

As the attendant drove the car on the rack, Landon picked up the bridge hand and went on with the bidding. Left Crowd Solid Supporters. “Well, you ought to vote as you | think,” said Landon. “Has anybody | got a cigarette?” | Lighting up his cigarette, he sat down on the chassis to visit. The garage owner, who later told the story, | “Say, aren’t you Alf Landon?” asked his partner. “Yes. I bid three spades.” “Well, I never!” said the young woman. Just day-to-day incidents along the route—Alf Landon visiting his way | | he said. “Things really look great for us. It will be & fight, but we want a | fight. The people are really tired of | Roosevelt.” He pulled at his suspenders. His | white suit was soiled and his collar | was wilting. He leaned back. There | sat the new National Committee chair- | |man: Born in Fort Madison. Of French, Scotch and Irish lineage. A hustling young lawyer. A probate judge. Speaker in the Kansas House | | of Representatives. Candidate for | | Governor (he was defeated in 1928 in | |a close race). Political opponent of | Landon. Counsel for the National | Committee and finally—that was in | March—manager of the Landon cam- | paign for the Republican nomination. | “I went into politics,” said John| Hamilton, “because I was busted. It was just a case of root hog or die. That probate judgeship paid $250 a | month and the marriage fees. I was elected in 1920. I married between 2,000 and 3,000 couples and I think I can still recite the ceremony. My father died broke—no Hamilton ever | saved one cent—and I worked my way | through law school. When I ran for probate judge I made a house-to-house canvass, I walked this town. I saw everybody in Topeka and when I ran for Governor in 1928 I saw everybody | |in Kansas. I went everywhere. I| was in every coal mine and on top| of every elevator and I'd die broke or join the Army before I'd ever again run for an elective office.” | Opposed Landon in Politics. | T asked John Hamilton how long he has known Gov. Landon. “The Gov- |ernor and L” he said, “have been friends for eight or ten years. We | were opposed in politics. The Gover- nor always took his politics pretty | seriously.” Mr. Hamilton holds his membership | in his Topeka law firm, but said that |he wasn’t much of a contributing | member. He talked of his law prac- tice: “I've never tried a divorce case in my 20 years of practice. I've never tried a criminal case except once when I defended an A. & P. store on | a short-weight case. My firm's work |is mainly insurance work. I am now | | Association. In 1924 the Ku Klux Klan developed to its full power in Kansas. It was really tremendous. I lost many a client because I op- posed it.” The aggressive, dynamic Hamilton, the first service man to run for high | office in Kansas, got to Topeka on & Monday morning. There were con- ferences all that day. They con- tinued all of Tuesday. Before noon John Hamilton took a train for Kansas :Cxty. 70 miles away. There the news- | paper men descended upon him. He spoke at a luncheon. At 12:30 he boarded a special plane for New York. Alr-passenger Hamilton was as- signed to seat 14, one of the two |Tear seats, but he didn't stay in it. He didn’t stay in any seat. He was all over the airliner. He talked with one associite and then another— | Charlton MacVeagh, National Treas- urer Goodspeed, Committeeman Hal- |lanan, J. K. Bradley, Jim Jappe, his executive secretary and erstwhile the- atrical press agent, and his staff secre- taries—the titian-haired Catherine Hall of Flushing and the dark and slender Eileen O'Daniel. Caucus at 10,000 Feet. Five minutes after the great Doug- las airliner rose from the fleld at Kansas City, Chairman Hamilton had switched seats and had called his strategists together. That's the campaign method of these driving young Republicans — caucuses at 10,000 feet! All the way from Kansas City to Chicago, the first stop. The plane landed in Chicago. There, in 10 minutes, Chairman Hamilton held a press conference—a corps of reporters was waiting at the field— posed for photograppers, made tele- phone calls and sent telegrams. Half an hour out of Chicago the airliner struck a thunderstorm. The riding was rough. The plane rose | and it dipped. I've never experiertced rougher air. The clouds were black, | the rain heavy. There were some frightened passengers aboard that forth and her smile was a triumph of training and composure. But nobody else was smiling. The storm didn't seem to bother John Hamilton. He went right on smoking, right on talk- ing and gnawing at a chicken leg. There came a moment when the air- liner took a violent dip. It must have dropped a thousand feet. Several of the strapped-in passengers looked sick. The skies were now blacker. I had the seat opposite John Hamil- ton. He leaned over and said: “Now, you don't really suppose that fellow Roosevelt's luck is going to keep up to this extent, do you?" Plans to Cover U. S. by Air. Between Pittsburgh and Newark— the storm was now back West—Chair- man Hamilton talked to me of his personal campaign plans. He'll do America by air. He'll use a special plane for most of his travel. Now plane. And now and then he’ll use trains and motor. It's his intention to cover America as it has never been covered in any campaign in America’s history. He'll go to all sections. He is planning to do two States a day. He'll have many conferences and board of strategy meetings at 5,000 and 10000 feet. He'll talk daily to Gov. Landon by telephone. His mileage total, when it's all over, will be something enormous. He told me that he wouldn't give much attention to such States as Georgia and Alabama. But he thinks Florida and Texas are Republican possibili- ties and he sees victory in such States as Oklahoma, Nebraska and Mis- souri. “I'm going,” he said, “every- where an airplane will take me and I'm going to do it awful fast. My headquarters will be in Chicago, but I'll jump around a lot. Two States a day isn't 50 hard when you've got & fast plane and there's work to be done.” Vitality Impresses Nation. John Daniel Miller Hamilton, whose father was a Democrat and whose grandfather came here from Belfast and was the first Governor of the Kansas-Nebraska Te:ritory (he was killed shortly before the Civil War in a cannon explosion during a Fourth of July speech), has come a long way. Sandy-haired, hazel-eyed, restless, quick-tempered and alert, he has es- tablished himself as a fighter, a stra- tegist and an organizer. America has become impressed by his vitality and his organizing genius, his courage and his showmanship. That political training on the preiries has served him well. In March, when he took over the campaign-managing, two tremendous tasks confronted him: One was to See that Alfred Landon got the Re- publican nomination. The other was to see that this same Landon goes to the White House. And square-jawed John believes, and he convinces you of this belief, that he has already accomplished the more difficnlt of two big jobs.

If he is for you, it will ruin you in this town.” “Of course, I am going to see Brown,” was Landon’s answer. “That's where T am going from here. That old fight is dead, dead as the Populist party. Here we have a program to save your neck and it's just as im- , portant to Brown.” An example of speech-making un- der difficulties was out at Elkhart on the plains of Western Kansas.

But of all things depressing to Mayberry was the discovery that the candidate had a manuscript to read. In the whoop- ing, yelling crowd of wheat farmers and ranch hands Landon went hand- shaking his way through the room. The atmosphere was heavy with the ordor of barbecue, grease, the smoke from Mayberry's free cigars. * Mayberry said to himself, “Just wait till this crowd sees that manuscript,” and made a final stab at putting them in a mellow mood by rounding up several of the boys to sing cowboy s0ongs.

Somebody yelled, “Marberry to your old friends.” Landon waded into the speech, what would be called an honest, straight- forward speech, but far from a show. When the speech ended, reasonable applause took the place of the ex- pected howl of protest; Mayberry led it with a great shout as he started to HOUSEKEEPER URGED AS HELP TO FATHERS Protection for Motherless Chil- dren at Public Expense Suggested.

Any Democrats who wanted to go home could be ex- cused, because a Landon-for-Governor Club was being organized. He had cards distributed for names, noticing at the same time that only a few men left the room. When the cards came back, every Republican and about half the Democrats had joined the Landon-for-Governor Club. Some of Landon’s strongest friends were to come from that Western country; the country of men who could lose four crops in a row and come back trying. Repudiation for Adaptability. Through that campaign Alf Lan- don was at home throughout the State, making a reputation for being the most adaptable man in Kansas politics. Although he did improve with practice, oratory never will be Landon's strength because it is ope posed to his nature. His association with people had always been per- sonal, an exchange of ideas. In a small group he could talk lucidly, at times brilliantly, but to put himself in the hero role parading before the crowd, that was out of the question. There was not a drop of the actor in his blood, In a primary campaign fought strictly on the issues, he won over Lacey Simpson, his ultra-conserva- tive opponent, an easy victory. It was fought so entirely without per- sonalities and invective that old-time Kansas politicians were left rubbing their ears. The November election was a hard, three-way battle. Two years before, when Brinkley had made his first campaign, Woodring had carried the State. ‘There was no telling who would be hurt the most by the inde- pendent candidacy, even though the magic had gone out of the bizarre Brinkley touch.
