Tho ottlclal In side on It Is that the presi dent agreed to drop off there on his return home from the west solelv out of the goodness of his heart to please Con gressman Doughton. But Mr. Dough ton seems to be fairly well pleased as matters stand. His re-election Is a foregone conclusion, and the presi dent's heart, while big. has not been enlarged to the extent that he does useless things. It Is far more likely the president has heard what every well Informed politician here has been told, namely thst there M some dissatisfaction In the south, and he Is going down there to do a little fence mending and pep-talking. Republicans have been enthusiasti cally gossiping about carrying Vir ginia and North Carolina for some time. Col. Knox, the fighting vlce presldentlal candidate, announced In Virginia the other night that he con sidered It a doubtful state. What started all this Is something which has not yot broken In the news. Democratic congressmen, re turning to their homes, found many of the leading citizens In some of their communities murmuring against the latest turn of the New Deal. The L. C.'s grumbled about taxes, spending. Tugwell and what 1 It all coming to. However, most of the murmurers encountered here (first and second hand) were not sore enough to vote against Mr. Roosevelt.

'PIG IN THE POKE' POLICIES OF NEW DEAL M FIRE Declares 'American Way Of Life Threatened' By Dis trust Of Future Jobless Remedy Cheered. William L. Beale Associated Press Staff Writer WEST MIDDLESEX. Pa., Aug. 22. (JP) A promise of a better standard of living in this country "through a frontier of new wants," and enforce ment of "freo enterprise" was pro jected today by Gov. Alf M. Landon In a campaign address at his village birthplace. "Let us not abandon our deter- mlnatlon to win security and abun dance without secrlflclng any of our treelou5 heritage of freedom and op portunity," Landon told an outdoor throng. Applause broke out when the Re publican presidential nominee said "the American way of life Is being threatened," and pledged himself "so Tor aa It lies within my power to pro tect for America our heritage of free dom and opportunity." "The choice now before our coun try," the Kansan said, "Is the choice between the pig In tho poke policies of the present administration anu these American Institutions under which we have enjoyed more liberty and attained a higher standard of living than any other people In the world. . "The frontier of new wants point the way to a better standard of llv ing In this country." Bareheaded, In a blue summer suit. Landon stood on a flag and sun-flower decked platform on the Tam O'' y banter golf course to deliver the first major eastern address of his campaign to oust the New Deal. Before him, Robert Outth watte of the Republican national committee staff estimated. a crowd of 40,000 persons dotted the fairways. It was drawn chiefly from the Mahoning valley Industrial area of Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Vir ginia. "Wool gathering," grown out of the depression, he continued In a speech entitled "the Amerlcsn way of life,' had shaken confidence. This "doubt and distrust," he continued, "Is fos tered by unstable men to whom It Is always dangerous to give political power." "Some are trying to supplant our Institutions by othera from abroad, he added. "Now In many parts of the world democracy Is In retreat and die tatorshlus aro advancing." To "timid souls" who fear that the temporary setback la to be permanent. Landon said ''there Is nothing to Jus tify any such conclusion."

He added: "All this was achieved without un dermlnlng any American Institutions. It was achieved by continuing to en courage free enterprise, Saying that unemployment and "examples of special privilege" were defects calling for remedies. Landon received a cheer when he continued "The remedy for unemployment Is not a permanent dole. The American remedy for unemployment Is real work at good wages. "Here at the place of my birth, I have sought to make clear what I believe to be the choice now before our country. It Is the choice between the pig In the poke policies of the present administration and those American institutions under which we have enjoyed more liberty and at tained a higher standard of living than any other people In the world Once that choice la understood, I have no doubt of the outcome."

AP) These were some of the salient statements In the address delivered here today by Gov. Alf. M. Landon, Republican presidential nominee: "Before our country Is the choice between the pig in the poke policies of the present administration and those American Institutions under which we have enjoyed more liberty and attained a higher standard of living than any other people In the world. The American remedy for unem- ploymtnt Is real work at good wages." 'The remedy for monopoly and spe cial privilege Is to do away with them." Now in many parts of the world democracy Is In retreat and dictator ships are advancing." "Some are trying to supplant our institutions by others from abroad." Freedom of enterprise has benefited every American. Let us not forget, however, that a fslr distribution of economic and social benefits has yet to be brought about." "Government power must always be used unflinchingly to correct abuses and Inequalities which admittedly exist. So far- as possible, this should be done by the Individual states or by compacts among states." PASSING SPLITS E National Political Effects Aid Landon Sen. Couzens Supports F. D. R. ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug. -33. (UP) Radicals of Minnesota and tha na tion lost a brilliant leader tonight In the death of Gov, Floyd B J ornate me Olson, three times Farmer-Labor gov ernor of Minnesota and candidate this year for the United States sen ate. Death of that master of oratory, sarcastic comment and political strat egy lmpingea vitally on the national political picture and alters complete ly the Immediate future of Minnesota. Up to a fortnight before his death. the governor was planning a strenu ous senatorial campaign and few thought he could be beaten. Without Olson's strong leadership. Minnesota, which supported the New Deal In 1932, was feared likely to split Its liberal vote between William Lemkc, candidate of the radical Union party, and Roosevelt. Such a develop ment quite possibly would give the revitalized Republicans of Minnesota power to swing the state for Gov. Alf M. Landon. WASHINGTON, Aug. 22. (P Cli maxed by Governor Alf M. Landon's assault on the New Deal today in Pennsylvania, this week brought a clearer outline of tactics In the pres idential campaign while the tendency to break acroa party lines was Illus trated afrfesh.

Landon occasioned com ment in political quarters by Includ Ins no old line eastern Republican leaders among his advisors on his east bound swing. He attacked mo nopoly, long a target of the left. In the speech this afternoon, he took a position similar to that of some outstanding Industrialists thst "free enterprise" is threatened by Roosevelt policies.
