Hamilton In Initial Campaign Address Criticizes Roosevelt! 250 EVERY HOUR Makes Claim That His Ac-| tivities In Some Cases Was Simply Matter Of “Playing Politics” By PRESTON GROVER UBy Associated Press) WASHINGTON, July 24.—In his Chicago speech opening the Alf M. Landon, red-haired John D. M. midwest campaign for Hamilton criticized ! | { President; | | Roosevelt for making no confi- dence inspiring statement between the time of his election in 1932/ and his inauguration in March of 1933. H Mr. Roosevelt's failure to do this was laid by Hamilton to a dis-| position on the part of the then! President-elect to “risk a com-! plete collapse” of the country in| the last period of the Hoover ad-| ministration in order to gain cre- dit for a dramatie upturn “which} he knew was inevitable, as soon as the sitvation of divided powers was brought to an end by his own; inauguration.” Strategy Questioned Hamilton went on to assert that the “fear of fear” about] which Mr. Roosevelt speaks was?! “in large measure created by h own willingness to play politics in! the face of national disaster.” | Not all Republicans are certain} the new Republican national chair-| man is wise in inviting a compari-| son between Hoover's final months! in office andthe first months, of; Mr. Roosevelt’s term. H There are many Republicans! who do not seem eager to defend! some phases of the Hoover regime.) They know that the 12 Repub-| lican years after Wilson will be! subjected to Democratie attack./ They already have been. { Roosevelt Seen Issue ! Instead, these Republicans have hoped for a political strategy con- sisting largely of attack on the New Deal. It was their idea that after all the people were going to vote on whether or not they liked Mr. Roosevelt and his doings, not] on whether they liked Mr. Lan-| don. ‘Hamilton is an aggressive cam-! paigner. It may be he likes war on all fronts and is ready to car- ry forward a defense of the Hoo-' ver administration even before the, Democrats get well under way in' their attack, The Republican national con-' vention early presented evidence that what this country needs is a new and more emphatic phrasing for the statement “I do not choose} to run.” When the late President Coo- lidge employed that wording he: left the country—and _particu-! larly its politicians—agitated and, perplexed for months over his in-} tentions. To band-wagon-minded political figures such doubt cons- titutes third degree cruelty. Even now there is dispute among historians as to whether he “wanted out” of wanted to be) drafted. | Disregard Statements } Only a matter of hours before the Cleveland convention opened, Senator Vandenberg of Michigan} stated in positive language that he did not wish the vice presiden-' tial nominatién. Yet to a degree the boom to put man to Governor; Landon continued. i Former President Hoover earl-| ier told the country he was not: interested in the nomination for, himself, Yet flying rumors that he planned a convention “raid” for} the nomination swept a wide field. | Especially was this true after he paused at Ogden, Utah, to de-| clare for a plank demanding of: Wages and hours, even to the ex-; tent of a constitutional amend-; ment. ? Years ago a model was set up by a disclaimant to this effect:) “I Do not want the office. If} nominated T will not run. If elect-| ed IT will not serve.” — KEY WEST, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JULY 24, 1936.
