He prefers, he says, to be called
“Alf” rather than Alfred, although
Mrs. Landon thinks, Alfred is more

knd packed them off to school. The
actors played in theatres; the people

I was quoting these historical facts
recently, to a rich and apopletic gen
tleman who had been arguing that .the
United States is about to come to an
end; I said. “You confuse your per
sonal fortunes with the fate of the
nation. You are going to lose some
money, perhaV#, but the country is
not going to die. People will keep on
gettings married, having ib^ies, tell
ing lies, engaging in silly qnurrels
and drinking too much coffee
they always have done. You
who have had things easy up to now,
may not be quite so comfortable. But
the race goes on.” ^

u and I,
Meet a “Moat Abundant Life”
When the market crashed in the
fall of 19i$9 I happened to be visiting
rich man who, though still fairly
young, haid about made up his mind
to retire. In four days two-thirds of
his fortune was ^ept away; be knew
that bis plans for his life would have
to be radically revised. At breakfast
on the fifth day he came up smiling.
“I’ll have to keep at work,” he said.
“I’ve thought the thing through, and
adjusted my mind to it.” Then he
added: “After all,-retiring is just one
form of suicide.”
I thought of that extraordinary
comment the other day when I Inet
a- man who had been retired always.
He is now in his early fifties; he is
married, but—has- no children} his
health is good, and his income, prob
ably between $12,000^ and $15,000 il
year, is idarived from government
bonds whi^ he boi^ht with money
left him by his father.
After graduating from college he
“worked” for a short time in the
family business, but with no enthu
siasm, and when his father passed
the estate and has done nothing ever
since. In the summer be drives to
New England where he has a little
farm. He has no interest in any of
the arts, pays no attention to the ad
vancement of science, does hardly any
reading, and takes no part in poli-
tics.-»r-, --
His income being tax-exempt, he
makes no contributions to the expens
second place on the ticket when he
was out for first place. I had lunch
with him a couple of months ago and
at that time he felt sure of the presi
dential nomination.
My hunch is that Col. Knox will do
most of the heavy hitting in the Re
publican campaign. I may change my
mind, however^fter Alf Landon gets
into action. ^
\ HAMILTON — Fighter .
I bad two or three’visits with John
HamiltoV last winter before he took
hold of thd Landon campaign. I sized
him up thetts as a scrapper who can
think fast on\ his feet. Red-headed,
freckle-faced, s^are-shouldered, with
a jaw that jilts ^t like a bulldog’s,
John Hamilton is Lhe personification
of enerfjc. \
The new Republican national chair
man has been in the rodgh-and-tum.
ble of Kansas politics sin^boyhood.
Four years ago he was opp^ng Alf
Landon. Now he is trying to ^t hitn
in the White House. He proved^him-
8~e^ a great political strategist by^is
ca;mpaign for Landon’s nomination^
which was easily the biggest political
achievement 1 know anything about
Whether his candidate wins or los
es, John Hamilton at 44, has made
himself a factor to be reckoned nrith
in all future councils of the Republi
can party, the control of which he has
definitely shifted to the restless, for
ward-looking middle West.
HOOVER — Happy
I spent on hour wiih Herbert Hoo
ver just as the Cleveland Republican
convention was adjourning. Echoes of
the applause with which his speech
al Cleveland was received we're still
ringing in his ears. Cdngriitulatory
telegrams and letters were piled two
feet high in his New York hotel room.
