Will he regard his victory as approval of all his policunso complete ies? “Tf the President things he is unwise.” “Certainly Governor Landon has Rpthing to regret,” suggests the Los Amgeles Times (Rep.). “The coneentrated fire which he and his running-nfate and associates directed against the New Deal theories forced their abandonment, at least for campaign purposes, even by their chief proponents.
