real American name. Wherever I
went I heard' of Judge Landis and
his' patriotism. So I took his name
and 1 am trying to live up to the
name.'

Washington Correspondent Omaha Bee,
Washington, May 10. (Special
J elcgram.) Congressman Frank W,
Mondell of Wyoming, the sole rep
resentative irom that state lor a
quarter of a century and now floor
leader of the house, will probably
announce his candidacy for the sen
ate to succeed Senator John B. Kcn
drick, one of the big cattle growers
of the west.
While Representative Mondcll has
declined to discuss the probability,
it is known positively that he has
been urged by some of the most
prominent political leaders in his
state to run for the senate. A boom
for him has been started by Wyo
ming newspapers and the Cheyenne
paper predicts that Mr. Mondell
could win with case. .
Colleagues of Representative Mon
dcll said today that if he decides to
leave the house, where he has been
a strong influence for 25 years, hav
ing been ranking republican on the
appropriations committee during the
eight years of democratic control, it
will be a distinct lo.ss to the house,
independent of party affiliations. Re
publican leaders, especially those on
the legislative steering committee,
point out that Representative Mon
dell has been surprisingly success
ful in carrying through the repub
lican program and expediting the
passage of major legislation.
It is thought in republican circles
that Mr. Mondell will not. shy his
caster into the ring until after he
has. talked over the situation with
Harding, who has looked to the floor
leader to assist in the constructive
legislation outlined by the . chief
executive.
