Landon Closes
Fiery Campaign
With Vote Appeal
Governor Speaks From Topeka; "We Must Hold Line of Democracy," He Urges
Topkea, Nov. 2,—(UP)—Governor Alf. M. Landon closed his campaign for the presidency tonight by urging the voters to go to the polls tomorrow and "vote as Americans for the future of America."
"The world needs a free America," the Republican nominee said in a radio address from the executive board of Democracy. We have not fail."
"Everywhere I have gone I have I have great numbers of men and women who have given both eye and money in making clear, as they understand them, the issues that face the country," Landon said.
Declaring that the voters will not go to the polls classified as workers, farmers, or recipients of relief but as "Americans," Landon in a simple 800-word speech, expressed his faith in the decision of the voters.
"To these men I want to pay tribute. There has been no campaign in many years in which they have made available of their responsibilities."

It is with great sorrow that I must give the obituary at the burial services of Mrs. Heinz's progeny. My nerves are jangled with grief and my heart is filled with her with bereavement for after all, next to William Zupancie. I was closest to her in her hour of need. Bill, who is not only a ventilator and betraying politician, but quite a hand at the art of administering medical aid to less fortunate animals, was asked why he had someone or persons should be prosecuted for their vicious treatment of Mrs. Heinz and that the tragedy was by no means her fault.
At any rate, Mrs. Heinz will not hear the patter of young feet upon the North Administration driveway as the poor little fellows were never able to stand. Emily can be very cry with me for tomorrow Mrs. Heinz may die who knows, and besides Steven David is still without a nameake.

One of the A T O labs though that he would pull a whizzer on the churches of Lawrence when registering by purporting to be an agnostic on the religion card, bulletin from the Unitarian Church office with the following not written on the inside: "Agnostics welcome, rather desired, perhaps you would call me an agnostic. You will find no theistic flavor here." The note signed by the Rev H. Lee Jones
One pair of the campus round-abouters has asked me to issue a warning to the more demonstrative students of this school to beware of the lonely roads bordering the park, for it is not at the moon or something a few nights ago and were held up by a stranger with a gun. It was reported that the lad in question lost all that he had but the girl just laughed and laughed 'cause she knew the time that it was a gun-merger.
Word comes that Prof. and Mrs. Hullinger watched the last football game through binoculars while seated cocktails on a bench in their automobile. Rumor has it that the professor likes to do things the hard way.
As yet no news has come as to the identity of the girl who appeared at the Miami Triad party in the green hooded dress and the Romeo's and Casanova's are still hounding me. I don't know why this column has to be used as a lost and found department but I certify that there is a student body for the sake of my own peace and tranquility.

If you should say, "Brother, can you spare a dime?" the brother woolly probably shell out in a nobile fashion with brotherly love and

So to avoid any such strife, the business management of the Kansan has devised the Dime-a-week plan. Now you can bump the dime, apparently for some unanticipated reason, and keep a couple of cokes, or some other insignificant object, then blossom out with the Kansan, your own prized possession for one whole week get the dime as you may, phone business office, and let your room mate be selfish with the Kansan.

Hobo Day, as it is known now,
was begun in 1923. As stated in the
Dallas Kansan of Nov. 18, 1927, "Old
clothes, the older better, plenty
of paint, burnt cork, and the
possession of a corn-cob pipe are
the main essentials of makeup for
a good K. U. hobo."
Hobo Day with all of its color began as a beer bunt to the city. It all began back in 1894 when many of the students sold their old clothes and had to leave town because it was but a short step to the idea of holding the event at Lawrence.
When Hobbs Day is spoken of, Doc Yak immediately comes to mind. This vendor of patient medicine is as open and honest of a doctor as is to a freshman.
Frosh Nominations For W.S.G.A. Offices Announced Today
Tattered Fate of Campus Hobos' Holiday Hangs on Cabinet's Decision
The tentative program will include the usual pep rally at the Auditorium, and also the duck race on Potter's lake. The cornhuskers' contest will be an additional attraction to the event. Dee Yak will be back again this year to give the medicine show. Later, after a return to the Robinson gymnastium, prizes will be awarded for the best hobe and boobss. An hour or hour and half activity will conclude the hobo activities.
The question of dismissing classes Friday in order that the students may celebrate Homecoming with the traditional Hobo parade will be settled when the representatives of M.S.C. and W.S.G.A. meet with the Bancelli's cabinet at 11:30 today.
Dale O'Brien Selected As New WREN Announce

Better Days— No Matter Who Is Elected

Presidential Candidates
Have Faith in Future of
America as Nation's
Biggest Election Nears
New York, Nov. 2—(UP)-
President Roosevelt and Gov. A.M. L.
London, half a continent apart, united
tonight in expressive faith that America
would go forward toward better
weather who was elected tomorrow.
Gone was all the anger and heat of a hard campaign as the presidential campaigns of the two major parties urged the voters to make their own consciences the only barometer by which they will cast their ballots.
Rival campaign managers claimed victory and said last-minute reports brought increasing confidence to both camps.
It will be America's biggest election. More votes will be cast - probably 44 million - than ever before. More money has been spent by political parties; expenditures already exceeded $13,000 million to Congress have exceeded $13,000 million.
Last Speeches Non-Parliament
None of these claims, not hardly
my parison note, crept into the
article as it was.
Laws of those lands,
loosevelt and Governor Landen.
Smashing of Party Lines
"Whoever is elected tomorrow will become the President of all the people," said Mr. Roosevelt from his quiet study in Hyde Park, New York. "I am confident that the people who are going to be Americans for the future of America," said Governor Landon in Topeka.
They urged every citizen to vote, pointing out that the success of the democratic form of government deserved the support and fearless voting by the electorate.
They made their final addresses on the eve of one of the nation's most momentous elections—the one that may see the smoking of old-style lines and the remolding of political camps.
Betting odds favored re-election of Mr. Roosevelt. They fluctuated all day, going as high as four to one, earlier than dropping. By duken when the Wall street commissioners began to close their offices, the prevalent odds were three to one that the President would win.
straw votes differed. The Literary Digest poll favored Governor Landon. The American Institute of Public Opinion predicted the re-election success. Both are based upon the national distribution of sample ballots.
