PUBLISHER PAYS: VISIT T0 LANDON Block Invited ‘to Luncheon Before G. 0. .P.-Nominee Sees Grid Battle. By the Associated Press. TOPEKA, Kans, October 3.—A dyed-in-the-wool foot ball fan, Gov. Alf M. Landon, was eager today to “root” for Kansas—with Mrs. Landon Just as eager to yell for the other side. Their alma maters are clashing on the gridiron. The Republican presidential nomi- nee invited Paul Block, the publisher, for an early luncheon at the executive mansion before motoring to Lawrence for the game between Washburn Col- lege of Topeka and the University of Kansas. Landon, an alumnus of the uni- versity, has been known to sit through the most inclement weather for the privilege of watching his Jayhawkers battle. Mrs. Landon was graduated from Washburn—and that left Peggy Ann, the Governor's daughter, swing- ing the balance. She is a student at the university. Block Accepts Invitation. Landon already ®as attended one foot ball game in the East and has under consideration seeing another on a later campaign swing. Publisher Block—his private car almost was attached to the Landon special’ campaign train at Worcester, Mass., two weeks ago, but wasn't when precedent intervened—accepted the in- vitation to come to Topeka. Relaxation and behind-the-scenes | work, speech drafting and campaign planning, were expected to occupy most of Landon's time before he leaves | October 8 on his fourth major ballot | drive, & tour of the populous areas of Illinois, Ohio, Michigan and In- diana. Listens to Series Broadcast. | Enjoying his brief leisure before the | important closing campaign swings, Landon listened to the world series broadcast at his home yesterday. After a Sunday rest and participa- tion in Monday's homecoming cele- bration for .Harry Colmery, new na- tional American Legion commander, Landon had no special plans before | his departuré Thursday evening. His | Lake States tour is aimed at & bloc | of 84 electoral yotes, 29 in Illinois, 26 in Ohio, 19 in Michigan and 14 in Indiana. It will be Landon’s first per- Missing SEARCH UNDERWAY FOR % ENGINEER.

'HAMILTON ASSAILS NEW DEAL METHODS Functions of Government and Party Intermingled, He Charges. | | By the Associated Press. | John D. M. Hamilton, chairman of | the Republican National Committee, said in a radio broadcast last night | that New Deal campaigning was be- ing carried out by an organization that has “so successfully intermingled the functions of government and of party that they are sometimes indistinguish- able.” In an address on time usually taken by William Hard under National Com~ { mittee auspices, Hamilton said: “In spite of the handicaps which the | Republican party faces, there is in my mind no doubt that an informed sonal bid for Michigan's ballots but he has crossed and recrossed Illinois and has spoken in Ohio and Indiana. Landon prepared for announcement the detalled itinerary of his ' Lake States tour, featuring major addresses at Chicago, Cleveland and Detroit and dozens of rear platform appearances. BUS SERVICE CHANGE INDORSED BY GROUP Chillum Heights Considers Route Alteration—Asks All-Day Service. A proposed change in bus service for Takoma Park was approved with certain exceptions last night at a meeting of the Chillum Heights Citi- | for Governor. ®ens’ Association. The association suggested that all- day bus service be established ou | ‘Third street in addition to a bus serv- | ice down Fifth streét as suggested by | the Capital Transit Co. | Under the changes approved the | present street car service from Ta- koma Park would be supplanted by bus service. The Chillum Heights bus would be routed from New Hampshire avenue and Kennedy street west to Kansas avenue, north to Madison street, east to North Oapitol street and south to its present terminus at the intersection of North Capitol street and New Hampshire avenue, continuing downtown on New Hamp- shire avenue. The association also voted that a | letter be sent to the District Com- missioners recommending traffic lights be placed at Blair road and Riggs road and at the intersection of Concord avenue and Rock Creek Church road, so that children goipg to and from Keene Grammar School could cross with greater safety. PURCHASING POWERS OF WAGES HELD HIGHER Industrial Conference Board Sur- vey Also Reveals Hours Are Shorter Than in 1929. By the Associated Press. . NEW YORK, October 3. — Wage earners in manufacturing industries £ind purchasing power of their aver- age weekly earnings higher yester- day than in 1929, while their average ‘weekly working hours are shorter, the National Industrial Conference Board, statistical organization sponsored by :’ndusmnl corporations, said yester- ay. In an analysis of * manufacturing statistics the board found that for the first six months of this year the average cost of living index, with av- erage for 1929 placed at 100, was 837, while the average index of weekly money earnings was 86.7. This, the report said, put the index of ‘real” earnings at 1036, or 3.6 per cent above the 1929 level. Average hours worked per week Were 384 for the six months ending June 30, compared with 48.3 in 1929. BAKER HOLDS WAR PERIL IS GREATER THAN IN 1914 Forcep More Irresponsible Today, He Tells Cleveland Foreign Affairs Couneil. By the Associated Press. .

Gov. Philip La Follette has been re- nominated. He has against him a Re- publican and a Democratic candidate If he can hold on to the solid La Follette progressive strength and there is no considerable coalition of Republican and Demo- cratic strength, centering, for example, on the Republican candidate for Governor, he should win. Two years ago, when La Follette offered himself for the first time as the candidate for Governor of the ! newly born Progressive party, thou- sands of Republicans flocked to the polls and voted for Schmedeman, the then Democratic Governor, in the hope of preventing a return of the La Follettes to power in State govern- ment. La Follette was elected with a | plurality of only 13,600. In that same year, Senator “Bob” La Follette was re-elected. He had a lead of 317,000 over his Democratic opponent, and a lead of 210,000 over his Republican opponent. In 1934, the Socialist party, which is strong in Milwaukee, put a candidate for Governor in the fleld. He polled 57,000 votes. This | year the Socialists are hooked up with | the La Follette progressives, the Farm- | er-Labor party, and & number of farm organizations in what is called the Farmer-Labor Progressive Federation. | They did not put a gubernatorial can- didate in nomination. It is figured | that many of those votes will go to | Gov. La Follette. | Gov. La Follette has not, himself, | joined this federation. Nor has the federation indorsed his candidacy for Governor. But neither did it indorse any other candidate, thereby leaving all its members free to support La Follette. As La Follette got the Progressive nomination without op- position, he is expected to have the united support of these groups in the federation. And it is rumored that La Follette had influence enough with the federation to prevent any inclu- sion of a “production for use” plank in the platform of the federation, which was sponsored by some of the more radical members, including the Socialists. Federation in Line. This Farmer-Labor Progressive Fed- eration is in line with the whole effort to build & national progressive party in 1940. Then, too, the La Follettes are uniting with the Non-Partisan Labor League in the effort to win re- election for President Roosevelt. And the Non-Partisan Labor League, like the La Follette Progressives of Wis- consin, has in back of its mind 1940 and a new liberal party in which labor is to play & major part. portance, a major link in which it is hoped will end prominently in mind the need keeping their own political fortun slive by a victory for Gov. Phill, and the election of others om their “The world is in the most unsafe dituation I have seen it,” the former cabinet member said. “It is more unsafe than it was in 1914, The forces making for war are far more irresponsible. Then we had stablé governments. Now wé have new A is fraught with enduring possi- bilities of uncontfollable incident.” He observed that “Russia does not want to fight anybody, but is not afrald to fight everybody.” \ / the State, represented by the “stal wart” Republicans and some of Democrats, are sick of the La Fol- Jette rule in Wisconsin. They would like to end it. Furthermore, the Democratic party, the general run- of-the-mine Democrats, are jealous of in 1940, hankers THE EVENING BTAR, WASHINGTON, not to be shoved aside by & new lib- eral party. -m':'u Follette brothers, however, have kicked in for President Roosevelt again this yesr. They are out cam- paigning for him. This makes it awk- ward all around for the Democrats who are seeking to elect their candi- dates for Governor and State office in Wisconsin. It is all the more awk- ward because the Democratic m‘l command, headed by Chairman Jam A. Farley of the party’s national com- mittee, is showing no disposition to come to the ald of the Iemocratic Btate ticket. If Mr. Farley did that it would be neither clubby nor poli- tically wise. For in this State the principal reliance of the Democratic high command in the presidential race is on the La Follette progressives. As progressive leaders are saying here: “If Roosevelt carries Wisconsin it will be because of two young men—Gov. La Follette and Senator La Follette.” In the primary election September 15, Gov. La Follette, running for the Progressive nomination for Governor, had a total of 178,134 votes. Two Re- publicans and two Democrats were entered in their respective primaries for the gubernatorial nominations. The combined vote of the two Repub- lican candidates was 11,979 votes short of the La Follette vote, and combiged vote of the two Democratic candi- dates was 31,367 short of the La Fol- lette vote." But the combined vote in the Republican and Democratic pri- mary was 313,460, vastly larger than the La Follette vote. It seems obvious that if the Repub- licans and the Democrats combined on election day they could slaughter Gov. La Follette at the polls, even if he had all the Socialist vote. There are whispers of an alliance between the Republicans and the Democrats. However, the Republicans want the Democrats to vote for their candidate while the Democrats say to the Re- publicans, “We have a good candi- date; come play wtih us.” The Re- publicans reply: “This is our year; Democrats refer to the fact that they, too, have a strong presidential can- didate in the field, Franklin D. Roose- velt, and that they are not going to ‘weaken their position by going over to the Republican gubernatorial candi- date. Two Ballets in State. In this State there are two separate ballots, one bearing the names of the presidential candidates and their elec- tors; the other the names of the can- didates for Governor, members of Congress and other State offices. It would, therefore, be comparatively easy for the Republicans and the Democrats to form an salliance to beat Gov. La Follette, provided they could get around to it, giving up their own particular ambitions. Both the Republicans and the Dem- ocrats have put up satisfactory can didates for Governor. Alexander Wiley, an attorney of Chippewa Falls, is the .Republican choice. He is of Norwegian stock, which means some- thing in this State. His father's name was Alec Vila. But the family name was Anglicized and became “Wiley. The Democratic candidate is also an attorney, Arthur W. Lueck of Beaver- dam. The edge seems to be decidedly with La Follette in this contest. The platform of the Progressive party, on which Gov. La Follette is running for re-election, is “liberal” to say the least. It does take a sock, however, at communism as well as fascism. Communism makes no hit with the farmers of Wisconsin. And Socialism is confined almost entirely to Milwaukee in this State. The plat- form, for liberal example, declares that “credit and money should be con- trolled by the people through Govern: ment-owned central banks.” It de clares for the public ownership of all public utilities, and it says, “An ounce of public regulatio the dissolution of the Whig party, group of Whigs, free soldiers and dis: of public ownership is worth a pound | Eighty-two years ago, in 1854, after | D. C, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1936. 1s to play a leading part in the forma- tion of a new liberal party, have slso Wisconsin as the scene of their first operations. The new Progressive party was organized here in the Spring of 1934, just four score years after the Ripon meeting. It was the La Fol- lettes’ answer to the pincers then held by the-Republicans and the Dem- ocrats, which threatened their political lives. Prior to that time the La Follettes and their friends had always run for nomination in the Republican primaries. With the Democratic party increasing in strength jn Wisconsin, as & result of the Rooscvelt landslide of 1932, it looked as though the La Follettes who went into the Repub- lcan primary might find themselves out on & limb, with the stalwart Re- publicans ready to lop it off.
