J036, by Paul Mallon) WASHINGTON. Aug. 28. Certain high Republican counselors axe sup posed to have suggested to Governor Land on an extension of the new method of cam paigning with which he has been experiment ing. They want him to: (A) Make no more than four speeches. (B) Embark on a more extensive campaign tour than any presi dential candidate has ever tried, devoting six weeks or more to "get ting acquainted visits," to every town od a railroad, making - only short, frank talks, "thinking out loud," shaking hands, smiling, being himself. (C) Institute a new kind of pub licity campaign designed to drama tize the London personality with hu man little stories, about his likes, dislikes, habits, etc. Note The argument la heard in creasingly among Republican author ities that the Kansan Is not drama tiring his opposition to President Roosevelt. His speeches lack great lus tre, they say. The crowd wants more nappy phrases, more aggressiveness In talk and action, more punch. This, they contend, Is necessary to arouse all the Roosevelt opposition and swing It Into line behind his leader ship. Some concessions may be made to these complainants, but the calm and unexciting tone of the campaign wm be maintained. oome .01 ttooscvoiii -advisers had their fingers crossed when he left for the west. His trip has been cur tailed In an effort to make it snappy and straight to the point. (The first stop scheduled was Bismarck, S. D.) At the same time they were not cer tain how It would come out. As they look at It, Mr, Roosevelt has been getting along all right, and Is gambling with fortune in this latest venture. The meeting with Landon Is considered an extremely delicate undertaking, requiring very careful handling. In view of the unusual circum stances, the trip was more carefully planned, step-by-step, and word-byword, than any the president has made before. These arrangements have somewhat allayed apprehensions about the political reaction to the trip, but not entirely. Tou can start an argument In any eapltol corridor by bringing up the subject of whether the drought has helped or hurt Mr. Roosevelt. Democratic arguers can prove It was a typical stroke of Roosevelt luck, be cause It gave him a chance to demon strate his theories of federal relief and control. Republican rebutters present an equally firm argument that rising prices of foodstuffs Is causing dissat isfaction. They both may be right, before elec tion day. The exhibition of New Deal relief work la now on; rising prlcee have only begun. Cities will undoubt edly begin to foel the pinch first. The only political question Is not whether the pinch will come, but when.
