He placed a very low estimate on Mr. Landon’s background and experience, and) characterized his nomination as “a confession of guilt on the part of the Republi-: can party.” H “I wonder how the Republican leaders keep from laughing out loud,’ id Mr. Farley, “at the gigantic hoax they are trying to put over on the country.” Twenty-four hours later, Re- publican National Chariman Ham-! ilton replied. He charged Mr. Farley with a tendency “to mis- represent everything which is too honest for him to understand,” and said this of the President: “Mr. Roosevelt was so eager for the nomination at any price (in 1932) that he flew to Chi- cago to accept the platform 10! per cent, and so far as the coun-, try knows never . glanced at it again.” : What Next? ; Does all of this means that the campaign is tobe fought, after all, on charges-of deception, dis- |honesty, conspiracy. and fraud, eed its climax later on, per- ha in talk of burglary and | | he rse-stealing?” | Instead of the epochal struggle’ lover principles expected in so ‘many quarters is the battle vesemble a sort of double-action proceeding, with the, the participants on both sides select-} body of Vernon Spencer, son of! ing their choicest verbal ammu- accom- nition from the lexicon of crim- anied by his widow, Mrs. Ruby | inolozy? | Convention time very often is’ held! a time of irrational thought and :30 o'clock from! intemperate speech. chapel in the past Alfred. have pitched their utterances on!
