' Western Dissatisfaction Seen While Governor Alf M. Landon and Col. Frank Knox prepared to discuss tactics Tuesday in Topeka, the field staff of the party carried back to the rank and file in all states the militant message of its convention. Some hazards to harmony began to arise with dis satisfaction among certain western independents as they reflected over the platform. Senator William E. Borah, who had pretty much his way in the policy declarations only to have Landon later proclaim some personal planks including monetary views opposed by the Idahoan, with held any pledge of support. Senator Nye (R-ND) left Cleveland, saying the plat form had more chance to draw "reactionary support in the' east than to regain" western progressives. In Washington, Senator Norris (R., Neb.) said: "Reactionaries are in control," and predicted the re-election ot President Roosevelt.
