I AAe I VACATION JOURNEY
JBkd I ENDS IN TRAGEDY I
gfj SOUTH OFASHLAND
By PALI, MALLON
WASHINGTON, Aug 19. It may be
amazing, but It seems to be true,
nevertheless, that both President
Rooie velt and
Governor Landon
are running their
own campaigns.
The Kansas
governor Is said
to be in as close
touch with his
Chicago head
quarters as 1 a
his manager, Mr.
Hamilton. Mr.
Landon makes
decisions not
only as to what
he himself is to
do, but concerning details of cam
paign administration which In the
past hare usually been left to others.
He arbitrates headquarters conflicts,
Initiates lines of activity there.
The president also Is supposed to
be making a lot of decisions which
are being announced over the signa
ture of Chairman Parley. He receives
detailed dally reports, Issues detailed'
dally orders, and, In general, takes
a far stronger hand In the shaping
of all campaign activities than Is
popularly supposed.
There are probably two reason for
this unusual situation. Both candi
dates have not been tied down with
heavy speaking tours as yet; both
have as much political Intuition as
any of their advisers.
Note Most Influential campaign
adviser to Mr. Landon Is said to be
Chairman William B. Bell of the
finance committee, who Is handling
a lot more subjects than finance.
Also Influential la Hill Bhickett, Chi

Roosevelt's foreign affairs speech
caused not even a grunt of Interest
among U. S. diplomatists. As they
saw It, Mr. Roosevelt said nothing
new and did not Intend to. His speech
was a round-tip rewrite of what he
said In his message to congress last
January 3 no more, no less. He Just
freshened up the old good neighbor
doctrine for purposes of the cam
paign. (The president's own explanation
for making a foreign affairs speech
at this time was that he had not
made one eince last year at San
