A—6 LANDON, RESTING, SPURNS POLITICS Refuses to Discuss Subject, Passing Lazy Day in Colorado Sun. BY ERNEST K. LINDLEY. @recial Dispatch to The Star. ESTES PARK, Colo, June 27— Gov. Alfred M. Landon passed a lazy day in the Colorado sunshine while the Democratic National Convention moved toward its grand finale. Ostensibly, politics and public af- fairs are far out of the consciousness of the Republican presidential nomi- nee. He refuses to talk about them, but he gets his mail and a big batch of newspapers daily and he put in some telephone calls to Topeka this morning to check up on one or two State affairs, and perhaps on the na- tional campaign as well. At 10 o'clock this morning Gov. Landon paid his daily visit to Estes Park for a press conference. He was| wearing a tight flannel shirt, open at the neck, in place of the gray-green flannel of yesterday, dark brown whip- cord riding breeches, held up by a woven leather belt, in place of the khaki of yesterday, and the same well-broken-in rldlng boots. His elder daughter Peggy Anne, attired in jodphurs, a polo shirt and a leather Jacket, was at the wheel of the family coupe. “I just kind of lazied around this morning.” the Governor reported in his slightly drawling voice. “I chop- ped some wood for the kitchen stove,” he added Did he cut down any trees? “No, it was just some old dead wood out | in the wood shed.” How did the chopping go? “Well, I was puffin’ before long.” the Governor acknowledged with a grin. Stiff From Fly Casting. He confessed he had a little stiff- ness in his shoulders from his two hours of fly casting yesterday. Urged to give more details about | his morning, he said: “Well, I put Jack and Nancy Jo (his children by his present marriage), on the horses and rode them around. pretty good job of it. I led the horses and he held on the Western saddle all by himself. Nancy Jo had to have somebody walk along side her.” He had no plans for the re- mainder of the day. “I may go fish- ing this afternoon if it doesn't rain | and muddy up the water,” he said He didn't know whether he would g0 to church tomorrow in the village of Estes Park, and he was having no guests over the week end Extensive questions evoked two more detaild about life on the Mc- Graw Ranch. Last night the Gover- nor had to lock up “the pups” to keep them away from the coyotes. He said they had heard coyotes both nights since their arrival. (Gov. Landon uses the prevailing Western pronoun- ciation of “coyetes,” with *“oy” pro- nounced as “eye.”) Maggie and Matilda, the colored fervants, whom the Landons brought | also slept last night | {from Topeka, behind closed windows and locked doors. “Spot” Stone, the foreman at the MecGraw Ranch, told them a bear had come down one night about four or five weeks ago and tried to get in the kitchen door. *“Maggie said this morning she wasn't enjoying it out here very much,” raid.

After his press conference, the Gov- ernor went up on a second floor piazza of the Hotel Stanley to pose for pho- tographers with Peggy Anne with the main range of the Rockies as a background. He joshed two of the | photographers about their new West- ern apparel: Riding boots, breeches and checkerboard gray and black flannel shirts. As the photographers worked, he inquired solicitously about the health of a newspaper man who was affected by the altitude yester- day. He asked one of the photog- raphers about “news from home™ and was told “it hasn't happened yet.” | He cautioned all the newspaper men | again not to exercise too vigorously for & few days until they had become adjusted to the altitude. He offered |to send in his car if any of them wanted to take any expeditions. “Peg- 8y Anne doesn't like so many side views,” Gov. Landon remarked, ge- nially to the photographers. “They show off her long mnose.” Peggy Anne laughed and her father | drew her back toward him and brushed ! the top of her head with his lips. A few minutes later he gave her permis- sion to come into the hotel to a dance tonight. “Gave her permission” is not exactly accurate. When he was asked | if Peggy Anne might have permission | to come in, he replied: “I think Peggy | Anne said this morning she was planning to come.” Peggy Anne con- | firmed this with a vigorous nod of | her head.
