There has been some talk among the Republican moguls about Governor Landon run ning for the sen ate two years hence. The op portunity la too far away to war rant a safe pre diction, but hla plans probably will work around that way. His friends began suggesting It midway in the presidential cam paign, when it became evident to them that he would lose. Some who came In fclose contact with the Republican presidential can didate got the notion, weeks ago. that he was not personally ambitious to be In the Vhlto House. They had in idea that somewhere down- deep Inside him was a suppressed hope that he would not win. Mrs. Lan don. also, they say, was not eager to become a White House hostess. Whether or not these surmises are correct, they are certainly reasonable. Frv with n home, a family, a plpo. and security lor old ago would wait.. t-'k2 on the troubles of the world which rest on the executive mansion. . . .

Mr. Roosevelt's best friend has been passing tho word around that he will immediately start to set the treasury la order. That Is to be tho main tbemc of his second term, he says. The budget for next year, which la now nearly complete, will bo brought within an approximate paper balance. The one for the following year will show an actual balance. The balancing will be accomplish ed, not wholly through reduction of expenditures, although many cur tailments will be mode, but largely by reason of Increased revenues, based on expanding business. Of course, no one knows anything about It, but there Is a rather gen eral expectation on tho Inside here that Mr. Roosevelt's first appoint ment to the supreme court will be Senotor Robert Wagner of New Tort. Some speculation has been going , .hit the nosslblllty that he might appoint his good friend, Felix Frank furter. There Is no question that Be ..m like to. but there Is some ques tion whether Frankfurter could be confirmed by the senate. Wagner wonw bo confirmed without a con test.
