National Campaign Languishes In Summer Doldrums; Leaders Are Making New Observations Expected That Many New THIRTY BUILDING Issues Will Be Injected Into Programs Of Both Major Parties By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associate: Press Washington) Politics is a game of paradoxes, and tha: perhaps accounts for the Present comparative lull in a cam- paign which had promised to de- velop so furiously from the start. Two months ago ‘the two great parties were like newly caged panthers. of welkin of Angry howls im- and the patience smote the whetted ithe anticipation It that bystanders. was remarked everywhere things were warming up early and that real action might be expected soon. Then, after a June of conven- surfeit political oratory a: the tions, the growling subsided ap- preciably. Organization work went on, of course. and there were some mutually uncomplimentary exchanges between the campaign managers. held fire. But the bigger guns Mr. Landon, nominated by the Republicans. retired to the fast- nesses of a mountain vacation re- treat, from which he emerged in due course with» an acceptance speech postpohing’~détailéd © dis- cussion of the issues until later. Mr. Roosevelt, named by the Democrats, accepted at once in a speech leaving detailed issues for the future, and departed there- upon from /merican shores in a sailing ship, for a vacation cruise in obscure northern waters. Real Action Awaits Fall Nor does the political forecast for August feature either phoons or whirlwinds. Governor Landon proposes a chicken-dinner homecoming to his ancestral home in Pennsylvania, coupled with a weekend, perhaps, at a favorite summer resort in up- state New York. {President Roosevelt plans to go gut into the vy but not, he says, for any intensive s means to inspect the dried-up corn fields and the bare pastures in the drought belt. Meantime, what about the is- sues? When are they to be de- fined clearly and submitted to the voters? When does the joint debate of the century begin? September or October, it now appears, will see most of the heavy action, just as they almost always do. The President, it is said, will swing out then to the Pacifieseoast and back, and the governor will show himself to the midwest and to the great popula- tion centers in the east. In spite of all the early growl- ing and straining at the leash, in spite of the promises of the ad- vance agents, in spite of the furious tempo of the curtain- raiser, the main show promises to run fairly true to the form of previous years.
