Landon-Smith Coalition Complete In New York
Old-Line Demo Gives Republican Candidate His Full Endorsement After First Meeting
"He is very clear-headed, very sensible; I always knew he was al right and this meeting confirms it."
It was the first time they had met and Landon showed his pleasure in winning the support of the former head of the Democratic party.
The one-time Democratic presidential candidate grimly wiser endorsed Landon's candidacy and said:
Their meeting took place after Landon rode through cheering throngs in President Roosevelt's home state. Standing in an open automobile the presidential nominee rode at a crawling pace through the heart of Manhattan at Landon's campaign camp to put the President's home state into the Republican column on election day.
But actually he marked his arrival by bringing the flavor of the Kansas prairies to Fifth Avenue and to Broadway; by waving his old hat at tens of thousands who thronged the streets and cheered—and a few others, in turn, through which President Roosevelt had driven an hour earlier.
He arrived officially to see Alfrec E. Smith, to meet with insurgent democrat John W. Davis, to map final plans with the state's Republic leaders and to deliver, at Madison Square Garden tomorrow night, the final summation of his battle to drive out the New Deal.
The Republican candidate and Smith met at the Hotel Murray Hill shortly after 7.30 p.m. and talked for 20 minutes alone. No statement was given out but when the former New York governor left the conference, he was smiling broadly and told newspaper men that the conversation was "very satisfactory indeed."
Later after the two had passed for newspaper cameramen they clasped hands in front of sound-reel machines and Smith said:
Thrombs crowded the hotel and adjacent streets throughout the evening and early night continuing the unexpected great aviation for the Kansas governor. It was an ovation that stirred all New York as the Governor drove across town to his hotel.
"Governor, I am sure that the reception you got here today shows how the people of New York feel about you. You have more friends among Democrats in New York than you have any idea about."

BILL TOWNSLEY, Pres.
Head of Mellon Institute To Speak Here Tonight
Dr. Edward Weidlein, '99, head of the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research, will talk this evening at 1 p.m. in the chemistry lecture room on "Glance at Industrial Research."
Industrial research began here at Kansas in the early '90s when Robert Duncan, who was interested in the work, organized a laboratory to investigate the problems of industry and submit the problems of their particular organization. The association was to finance the research. The improvements discovered in the laboratory were to be given to the association to use exclusively for before the information was published.
This research met with so much approval in the East that the Mellon Institute was founded in Philadelphia. Duncan was placed at the head.
After his death Doctor Duncan was succeeded by Doctor Weidlein as head of the institute.
The Kansas City section of the American Chemical Society and the Kansas section of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers plan to attend the meeting. Anyone interested in the research is invited to attend the lecture.

Van Ess in Fraser theater this evening at 8 o'clock on the topic: Resolved, that Alfred M. Llandon should be elected to the presidency of the United States.
Wilson matriculated at Princeton in 1935, and since that time he has figured prominently in Whig-Clo, the political and debating society of Princeton. He has attained the office of vice-president of Whig Hall which represents the liberal-thinking students. His approval of the Democratic party may be tried to have him dismissed. Wilson, who was also a member of this same Whig Hall of which young Wilson is now an officer.
The Princeton debaters arrived in Lawrence last night and were entertained in the home of Prof. E. C. Buehler.
W. W. Davis, professor of history,
will preside as chairman. This is to be
the only formal discussion of
the presidential election to be held
on the campus and to be a no
decision affair. A general admission
of 35 cents will be charged
Student activity books will admit
Van Ess, who has spent much of his life abroad, is the other member of the Princeton team chosen for this trip. He entered Princeton in the fall of 1934, and has also been active in the Whi-Glo-Coil society. In the spring of 1936 he was elected president of this organization, the first junior to be so honored in the history of that society.
After the debate, Wilson and Ess will be the guests at a reception at the home of Mrs. Carter Harrison. Tomorrow they will go to Manhatan for a debate with the Kansas State team.
James Blakeney In Hospital Following Laboratory Accident
Princeton Debaters
77 Students Try Out For WREN Announcing Post
James Blakeyen, c.38 is in Watkins Memorial hospital suffering burns received Tuesday in an accident with alcohol in the organic chemistry laboratory. His condition is reported as good, but according to a statement by Dr. R. I. Cunitson, director of student health, he will be in the hospital for two or three days. Isabelle Gill, c'encel, and Florence Casey, c.37 who were injured in an automobile crash Sunday night, are recovering well, and is reported as good but both are uncomfortable with brushes received.
A total of 77 students tried out in the WREN announcing audition which was held Tuesday and Wednesday evening. Results will be announced at a later date. Anyone who is interested and was unable to try out at the regular time may make arrangements for a special audition.
In spite of the ruling of the MSC and the W.S.C.A. against a student poll, the American Student Union announced last night that it will set up its tables in front of the Administration building this morning.
Donald R. Wilson (above) and J. Van Eas (below), who will represent Princeton University in the debate here tonight.
The poll will last last and tomorrow and will be secret. It was previously announced that the poll would be held in the Administration building, but since it has been made that voters should not be held for the poll, it will be held in front
"It was previously decided by the Executive Board," stated Don Henry, c'29, president of the American Student Union, "to abide by the decision of the M.S.C., but it was felt at the conclusion of the meeting that the poll had not been considered upon the basis of the desire of the students to attend either on the basis of whether or not it would be politically expedient."
A.S.U. Plans To Conduct Poll Despite Opposition
"The Council felt that the American Student Union had possibly overlooked several of the issues involved in a student poll. Our campus is in a very delicate situation politically and the results of the poll would have been seized upon and distorted by party propagandists. In view of the fact that there had been a commission for a poll, the council considered it more discreet to continue the policy of discouraging political commitments on the campus and not to sanction a straw ballot."
In a statement to the Kansan following last night's meeting of the Council, Phillips said:
Frosh Party Councils Conspire As Crucial Hill Election Draws Near
The basement of Green hall was the scene of planning and counter-planning-dark plotting and dark counter-plotting last night as the freshman organizations of P.S.G.L and Pacbacumae met behind closed doors to lay plans for the final drive to victory in the freshman election Nov. 5
Last night the A.S.U. executive board issued the following statement:
"There seems to be considerable misunderstanding concerning the attitude of the American Student
On the west side of the P.S.G.L. "Zeke" Cole, generalissimo of that party's campaign forces; and on the east side the Pacachacam faiths responded enthusiastically to the suggestions of Jake Young, who fills the double position of President of the freshman council of Pacachacam and candidate for president of the freshman class.
F.D.R. Promised New York State's Electoral Votes

New York, Oct. 28—(UP)—Tired but happy, President Roosevelt was convinced tonight that the sidewalks of New York would give him the powerful 47 electoral votes he needed to win all counties are counted next Tuesday.
The Chief Executive based his hopes on the enthusiasm of the human outpouring that greeted him as he stood and spoke through the entire metropolitan area on a wind-wind program that opened at Bayonne, N. J., this morning and did when he drove up behind a motorcycle escort to his town house in East 65th street.
His visit was a prelude to a second campaign swing through New York that will begin Friday and end late Saturday with a major ad- campaign by the liberal organization He found time to mix philosophy of government with purely political activities, to extend greetings to the thongs that welcomed him and to pledge a continuation of administration by offering greater security of homes and jobs.
The President's path crossed with that of Governor Landon, his Republican opponent, the latter also campaigning for the New York vote drove down 42nd street while Mr. Roessell at the head of an imposing motorcade moved toward Park Avenue and home. He was in friendly territory to Mrs. Landon's section and party leaders assured him that the New York borough would give him a majority in excess of a million votes, far more than necessary to off-set Republican up-state votes.

With Screams and Scenes of Horror 'Bury the Dead' Will Be Funeral Plus
What with 30 scenes in one act, many black outls and spots, the spectacle of six dead men standing, the grumor of army "tough guys," the death of a policeman, desperate general. "Bury the Dead is something more than a funeral."
This unusual play will be given in Fraser Theater Nov. 9, 10, and 11.
Burying dead is usually a solemn and decorous procedure, but not so with Prof. Allen Crafton. Under his direction it becomes complicated and at times slightly hysterical.
To understand it one should witness a rehearsal; hear Crafton verbally chastize anyone with a weak voice; see spots change like a fireworks display; smell the freshly-painted no man's land.
You may find your stomach doing tricks when the first corpse stands up, but five others will settle it. You may flinch when the machine-gun starts shrieking and stop that. You needn't be afraid of screaming, for the play furnishes plenty of screens itself. The manuscript contains lines which will shock you, but certainly not bore you. There are references to flesh, skin, matting/patting flesh; to pinching necklaces and a mundane heaven.
Student Aviation Club to Be Formed
Prof. Earl D. Hay is attempting, it form a collegiate Aviation Club for the purpose of teaching the members how to fly. All students in this club are requested to see Professor Hal at his office in Marvin hall.
Spanish-Russian Charges Rejected By Committee
London, Oct. 28—(UP) —A battle royal between Soviet Russia and the block of Fascist states in the Spanish Non-intervention Committee was climaxed tonight when the members officially rejected Spain's and Russia's charge that Italy and he had aided the Spanish rebels.
Moreover, in secret sessions it was learned, the Italian delegate Grandi, roundly upraised Soviet Russia for its "ambiguous attitude" which he said, had neatly wrecked the work of the Committee and added fuel to the flames of the civil war.
Earlier, Ambassador Maisky of Russia had published a scathing reply to a Portuguese note accusing Russia of fomenting the Spanish revolution. Italy had brought 20 new specific charges against Moscow citing dates and places where Russia had supplied arms to the Loyalists, but the Portuguese hung has bitter feeling run so high. It appeared that the battlefield of the Spanish war had been transferred from Madrid to London.

P.S.G.L. Gains Vacancy Member In M.S.C. Election
League Retains Status By Placeing Roland Welborn in Council; Control Still Hings on Frost
There was some discussion as to the intention of a proxy vote left by William Zupancie, e37, who was absent. At one time the meeting threatened to turn into a repetition of some of the stormy sessions of last year. The difference was soon settled and Zupancie's was the deciding vote.
This makes the present representation in the council stand 13 for P.S.G. L and 11 for Pacachacane. The Pacachacanes have the sophomore representative, who will take his seat on the council immediately following the freshman election. If Pacachacane wins the election an equal representation will be sufficient. Thus the election of the freshman representative will be the decisive factor in determining what party will have a majority.
Roland Welborn, P.S.G.L., was elected to fill the vacancy of Graduate representative in the Men's Student Council at the close of an important meeting of that body last night.
A Pachasacca victory tyring the vote and giving the president, John Milton Phillips, the right to vote, will give a majority.
A P.S.G.L. victory will mean a 14- to 12 representation in favor of that party.
The council voted to petition the Chancellor for Hobo day and the traditions committee was instructed to make arrangements for the activities of the demonstration in connexion with the Homecoming committee.
Frank Headley, C37, business manager of the K-Book, submitted a report to the council on the financial condition of this year. The council voted to approve the salary of the job, business manager and salesman.
Phillips suggested that the political parties submit their nominees for court justices in order that the vacancies might be filled.
A rooming house committee composed of two representatives from each party was appointed to co-operate with the firm on roaming rules for students.
It was decided the council should give $5 toward a $10 prize to be given to the best decorated unorganized house during the weekend of Homecoming. The other $5 is being given by the W.S.G.A.
Phillips reported that at a meeting with representatives of the Kansas State Council it was decided that each council should consider an agreement whereby each council would be responsible for the actions of other companies. The matter will be taken up at the next meeting.
