Last Offensive Started by Landon At Philadelphia
Charges That Roosevelt Uses Public Monies to Maintain His Political Status in Nation
Convention Hall, Philadelphia Oct. 26-(UP) -Gov. Alf M. Llander sent his campaign for the presidency into the final offensive tonight with a barge of charges that the New Deal is violating the Constitution by "open and impudent" to maintain its political power;
He charged President Roosevelt with responsibility for violation of the Constitution by waste of the people's money to coerce voters and to "create the most sinister political machine in our history."
"The responsibility rests upon... one man alone. It rests upon the President of the United States," the Republican nominee declared in his major address in this birthplace of the constitution.
Calling upon a Republican rally here at Convention Hall to take an oath that the liberty bell shall not have rung in vain, Governor Lamar Smith said: “spendthrift waste and extravagance, centralization of power in the hands of one man, infringement of states' rights, destruction of personal liberties, undermining of the moral restitution of the nation.
"We need an administration that realizes even Uncle Sam can go broke." he asserted. "The lesson of having bankruptcy is clear to all to read."

One of the Sigma Chi boy rammed his fat through a transex and just missed our man who was on that boat. The story goes that he was trying to get out after they shot him, but had looked him in his hotel room.
Lon Bosick had an awful time getting out of that tree in front of the Tr1 Deli house. I can't figure out where they were, and anyone, but maybe he knows.
The pay-off came, though, when one of the boys was searching about the Warchem hotel and fell three stories down a clothes-chute. I watched as he was looked at me, but both are doing as well as could be expected.

Frustrated Frosh Ferment Following Picking of Parties Probationers
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1936

While the question in the nation has evolved into a clean-cut case of Landon or Roewell™, murmur among the freshmen in the University have taken on the content of "Pachacamac or P.S.G.L."—"Young or Pow-..."
Isabelle Gill, c'urel, and Florence Casey, c'37, were injured in an automobile crash late Sunday night when the car in which they were riding collided with a truck parked on the highway. They were resting after a rain, after a weekend at their homes in Galton and Coffeyville.
Two K. U. Students Injured in Auto Crash
Both parties have awing in action in an effort to annex the freshman offices, vital this year for the first time in campus politics. The fresh president will have a vote in the council this year, and both parties are cut to go

power in council affairs this year.
P.S.G.L. was first in the field with a definite platform this year. That organization announced as favoring the five important planks in the M.S.C. platform. The platform favors a Civil Service commission; a Roaming Hono commission, continuance of the forums, Labor Holiday committee, and the Freshman platform stresses an Activities commission, a Freshman Conclave, and a Freshman Honor society.
The Pacachacam has not announced a platform as yet. The Freshman Council of Pacachacam called for written suggestions from all freshman members of the party, and proposed to compose the plan before information on these suggestions. This platform will be announced soon.
Pachacamac was the first to agree on a list of candidates for the fresh election. That group chose a ticket split between fraternity and nonfraternity men, headed by Jake Lawrence as presidential candidate.
Time is short for the election, Nov. 5, and although both parties displayed some lethargy in getting started, the campaign is now in full sailing. About all that remains is for the four conservative leaders to form a mind, and neither party will be backward about helping each and every vote decide. Each party has expressed the desire for a freshman assemble for the purpose of hearing declarations of both parties' declarations of policy by the candidates.

growing isolation in Europe, is
planning to adopt a two-power air

formal today.
Under the new policy, Russia intends to maintain a fleet of flying fighting planes larger than the combined strength of her two class enemies, Germany and Japan.
The new policy is reminiscent of or that followed by Great Britain on the sea a decade before 1914, a concession that would allow Russia's move towards supremacy in the air results from events of the last three months which have weakened the UK.
The report said the lines were being established entirely for civil purpose. But the bases, it was, might be used for military plans.

Strangely enough, the notoriously bad accidents of the University Auditorium seemed to present no difficulties for this master violinist.
By Dick Martin, c'39, and Clinton Raymond, c'unel
Mr. Elman, who ranks with Kissler and Heifetz as one of the three greatest violinists, was born in 1857 in New York. A modest citizen of this country since 1908.
Excellent, excellent! The audiences of the Midwest are fine! exclaimer. Muscha Elman when interviewed after his concert here last night. The dapper violinist was tired, but willing to be interviewed after 2½ hours of playing.
Vadimar Padwa, Elman's accompanist, showed rare skill in following the great artist.
Mr. Elman's speech was heavily accented, his manner brisk and his attitude one of "old-school" punctuality.
When asked if in his tours of Europe he played in modern Germany he said, "Ugh—no!" Germans are large enough to hold that Hitler and Stalin.
After paying his last enceint, Mr. Elman was besieged by a crowd of autograph-seekers. He ignored everyone, however, until he had carefully laid his expensive aged violin in his soft case, after first examining the instrument and fondling it as though it were a child.
Elman Terms Midwestern Audiences Excellent' After Opening Concert Series
"My piano, after finishing my appearances in the United States, are to make a tour of the Orient, sometimes in the near future."
He signed then several of the programs, but he was weary and withdrew sighing, before all the seeker could be favored.
The University Concert series was off to an admirable start last night when an audience of some 3,500 students and nearby Kansans enthusiastically received Mischa Elman, noted violinist.
'A little excitement and variety were introduced when an announcement that the show was not but over by 10am, led to early walkout on the performance.
The Program was a follows:
"Sonata in D Major," (Adagio, Allegro, Larghetto, Allegro), (Handel)
"America is at the present time the center of musical art. Her miscellaneous audiences are the best that can be had—consequently America is today a melting pot."
