TOPEKA, Kan., Sept. 27 The back ground of the Landon Republican piealdential talk la the saga of- a swing on me porch of a mld Vlctorlan house out here In a Kansas corn town. The house la like the ono which was tho beat in -every small town twenty-five years ago. The wooden oench attached to the porch roof with chains Is M U.I.U.N also a national rural Institution, and bo Is Its quiet perspective. Prom It. these days, the Kansas governor looks out over a longer lawn than elty dwellers can afford Into the elm shade of a street remote from national political clamor, but close to the soli which feeds It. He swings and does His guDematorlal business. He swings and talks to national polit ical leadera who are beginning to drop in. He plugs In his porch tele phone and talks to men through the state, and beyond, while swinging. Friends bring around clippings from the newspapers and magazines sug gesting that his economy record makes him a presidential figure. He rubs his eyes with ft gesture Implying Incredulity, and keeps on swinging. Lnndon's swing Is well regulated and does not squeak. But-lf ycu-cup your ear. It seems to say definitely that Landon Is a not-very dark horse who has his blanket on. The blanket will not be taken off anytime soon, although pressure to get him. running obviously 'is surging right up to the rail of the porch. In other words. It suggests that the Judicious Landon strategy Is not to get Involved In any factional Prty scrap for tho nomination. But If the call should come. It will be answered. If tho more acllve candidates become Involved In factional animosities and kill each other off, you may be sure that Landon will remove his wraps. Many sound political Beers believe the sltuntlon will work around that way. They call Landon a ""Kansas Cool ldge". but he Is like Coolldge In only one respect. He la the kind of fellow who always would be the last to buy a round of drinks. He looks younger than Coolldje did when first coming on the national scene. He Is warmer, more friendly, less reticent In conver sation, much more emotional, more human. Also he has a good face for political posters. In fact, lie Is the kind of personality which many a political publicity man would pray fof In a campaign against a spcndlnj opposition. This does not mean that Landon Is provlnclally minded. Out here on the prairies, he gets yesterday's eastern papers by airplane each day, follows the. European financial situation closely, has definite Ideas about what will Happen In Prance, Italy, Ethiopia. The stories told of his state econ omy record are substantially true. iContloued on Page Seven) " SIDE GLANCES by TRIBUNE REPORTERS R. L.
