absolute divorce from Leroy Ver
saw and the custody of their two
children, 13 and 11 years of age.

they were married at Petersburg,

cruel and inhuman treatment and

relief as the court may deem
proper.

No Political Assessments
An old established custom on the
part of both parties in Kansas was
an assessment of five per cent on
office-holders for campaign pur
poses. One of the first acts of Lan
don as governor of the state was
the outlawing of any assessment on
any office-holder.

Platform.
PORTLAND, ME. — The
Presidential election will be a
choice between free enterprise
under which the humblest citi
zen has a chance, and a system
of invasion of private rights
characterized by a million signs:
“By Order of the American
Government, Keep Off!" de
clared Gov. Alf M. Landon, in
a speech before a vast throng
here.
He defined the issues of the cam
paign:
“Do we want the Government
prying into every little detail of our
business lives?
“Do we want the Government for
bidding us to plant what we want in
ou.' own fields?
“Or:
“Do we want to be free to plan
for our future?
“Do we want free government in
America?”
Coming of European System.
Under the American system of
free enterprise. Gov. Landon said,
people have been free to plan for
themselves and their children,
knowing that their goal was limited
only by their own ability, subject
to no handicap of birth or class
distinction. But, he pointed out:
“Then came the N.R.A.! With
the enactment of this measure in
1933, our government, without man
date of the people, adopted a new
and completely different philosophy.
When I say ‘new’, I mean new
only in the sense that it was new to
this country. It was a philosophy
well known under the autocratic
governments of Europe.
“This philosophy decreed that
prices should be regulated,” said
Gov. Landon, “not by demand and
supply, but by government edict;
that wages and hours of employees
should be fixed, not by free and'
fair negotiations under rules assur
ing equality, but by officials in
Washington; that the sort of compe
tition which must be fostered, as the
life-blood of free enterprise, should
in future be prohibited by law . . .
“What the N.R.A. really under
took to do in this country was to
terminate our system of free com
petition, and to substitute for it a
system of government-created and
government - protected monopo
lies . . .
“The N.R.A. was the beginning
in America of the movement which,
throughout the world, has been
sweeping aside private enterprise
in favor of government control—a
movement which has been substitut
ing arbitrary personal authority for
constitutional self-government.
“But—you may say—the N.R.A.
is dead.
“True enough. The National In
dustrial Recovery Act is dead,
thmks to the courage and integrity
of the Supreme Court.
“But the spirit of the N.R.A. lives
on. It lives on in recently enacted
laws. It lives on in the efforts of
tin Administration to get around the
decisions of the Supreme Court. It i
lives on in this Administration's 1936
platform. It lives on in the recent
public utterances of the President
and his spokesmen.
May Lead to War.
“But above all. it lives on in the
spirit of the President who has con
fessed no error—who has let it bo
clearly known that he considered
it would be a catastrophe if the
American farmer should ‘once
more become a lord on his own
farm’ . . .
“It was no accident that Con
gress delegated its functions to the
President. . . .
“Power of this magnitude is dan
gerous from the economic as well
as from the political point of view.
No man’s judgment is sufficiently
infallible to justify giving him con
trol—either in private business or in
government—over the standard of
living, the savings, and the destiny
of his fellow citizens. When the de
cision of one man affects an entire
country, a wrong decision means
national disaster.
“The Republican Party opposes
unlimited executive power for an
other reason. This reason is that
the world-wide trend away from de
mocracy means but one thing—that
one thing is WAR. Any weakening
of democracy here, means the Anal
rout of democracy everywhere. . . .
“The temper of the American
public is no longer complacent. It
has definitely set its face against
monopoly and unfair trade prac
tices. The pledge in our platform is
not mere words. It does not mean
to me fruitless inquisitions that im
pede recovery and delay re-employ
ment. To me it means not only the
steady relentless enforcement of ex
isting laws but the strengthening of
those laws. And it means the en
actment of such additional legisla
tion as is necessary to put an end
to monopoly, unfair trade practices
and all special privilege. Only if
we follow this course can we escape
the system of government regulated
monopolies sponsored by this Ad
ministration.
“If you do not believe this, you
had better not vote for me. For I
am pledged by the Republican plat
form to save our system of free
enterprise.”
