that the presi

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. They were
lust displeased and thinking.
While these undcrourrenta have
caused elation among the Republi
cans and slightly disconcerted the
Democratic high command, the polit
ical effect are not yet ovldent.
The Richmond Timcs-Dlspatch, a
newspaper of nationally recognized
Integrity, la conducting a poll to find
out what It means In the state of
Glass and Byrd. On August 20, the
poll showed 85.8 per cent for Roose
velt. This was Just about the presi
dents standing In tho same poll last
year. The Tlmes-Dlapatch. therefore,
ha concluded: "It Is obvious that
there has been no shift In the nor

'PIG IN THE POKE'
POLICIES OF NEW

Declares 'American Way Of
Life Threatened' By Dis
trust Of Future Jobless

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."
"The remedy offered la that the
federal government shall restrict pro
ductlon, dole out Jobs and parcel out
business opportunities," the governor
said. "TKs argument Instead of be
lng progressive la 40 years behind the
times."
Discovery of a "new frontier" of
Inventions In the lBOO's the nominee
aald, opened the way to building a
"greater America. 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."

Landon Speech
Highlights
WEST MIDDLESEX Pa., Aug. 22.
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."

Minnesota, which supported the New

ROCHESTER, Minn., Aug. 22.
(AP) Floyd B. Olson, Farmer-Labor
governor of Minnesota and long
prominent In state and national po
litical circles, died at 6:31 p. m. to
night. He was 44 yeara old. - '
With him at tho time of death
were Mrs. Olson; his daughter, Pat
ricia; Maurice Rose, the chief execu
tive's personal aide; Drs. Hunter Shel
don and Carl Nygaard, and three
nurses, Miss Lunetta Judd, Miss Irma
Sasson and Mlsa Elizabeth Hogan.
The official time of death was set
by Dr. Waltman Watters, physician
who attended the governor, aa 8:29
p. m.
Barred from the hospital, a crowd
waited on the street outside the
building, awaiting the final outcome.
Just prior to word of the gover
nor's death, cries of grief were heard
in the hospital by the persona on
the street.
Abe Harris, political affiliate and
long-time friend of the governor. In
formed Marvin Mclntyre, President
Roosevelt's secretary, of the death.
President Roosevelt was to have vis
ited Governor Olson Auguss 31. -
The seriousness of Olson's condi
tion waa not apparent even to mem
bers of his family, or to himself,
when the governor came to Rochester
for the first time, last December 29,
1935.
He had suffered with an ulcer of
the stomach for some time prior and
though urged by friends and asso
ciates to take time off from his du
ties as governor, and place himself
under medlcM treatment, -Olson uever
quit found time. ,
Last December, however, nis conai
tlon grew worse and he consultd
the Mayo clinic. An exploratory op
eration followed, growths were found
on the esophagus.
Dn Charles May observed at that
that the governor "waa a very bravo
man."
The chief executives condition be
came extremely critical lata today,
and he lapsed into a coma at 41:30
p. m.
Just prior to lapsing into uncon
sciousness, Oovernor Oloon told Mau
rice Rose, his personal aide: "This
thing has got us licked. But don t
worry or feel sad, because It must be.
for the best."
Just four days prior to his death
