West Middlesex, Pa.--In this village, whe_re he was born 49 years ago, Governor Alf Landon will start his eastern campaign Jot the presidency of the United States, August 22. Governor Landon's tribute^ to the.jicjn.e gj yfi birth is bringing fortlT a response which indicates the largest turnout in the history of this quaint Pennsylvania village. Governor- Landon will deliver here the first of three major addresses scheduled for his eastern tour. The second ill be at Chautauqua, N. Y., the night of August 24. The Landon family, when they visited West Middlesex during the summer hdlid^ys, spent much of the time at Chautau^jtia, which has been a powerful agency in moulding educational and public opinion. The third address will be given the night of August 26 at Buffalo, where Woodrow Wilson opened his successful campaign in 1912. Governor Landon will make platform appearances on the way to and from the eastern center. The rally here will be the first important occasion in Which thoui sands of Governor Landon's eastern friends and supporters will be able to participate. Governor Landon's birthplace is in the center of a vast industrial area--6,000,000 persons live within a radius of 100 miles, and many thousands are expected to hear the Republican nominee. West Middlesex recalls that John M. Landon, father of Governor Landon, came to this section of Pennsylvania to enter the oil fields. The Landon family moved to Elba, O., before Alf Landon was born, but at the time of his birth in 1887, his jnother was visiting in West Middlesex at the home of her fathe?7~5 Methodist Episcopal minister. Governor Landon's saying that "you can't spend what you haven't got" was taught him at parental knees in a family that knew hard times along with the good. Young Landon was taught the principles of thrift from his earliest childhood. Applying those principles as governor of Kansas, where he cut taxes and balanced the state budget during the depression, has brought national attention to th« man and to his methods of government, which he proposes to install in Washington. Crisis U. S. Faces Vice Presidential Nominee 'Heartens Throng at ( Connersville, Ind. Connersville, Ind.--The gravity of the present situation confronting the American people was pointed out here by Colonel Frank Knox, Republican nominee for Vice-President, in the first major speech of the campaign following his acceptance address in Chicago. "The issues we discuss are grave," Colonel Knox said. "The American people have not faced since the Civil War an election with more at stake. * We are confronted with problems that go to the very roots of the American economic system." In continuing to stress the "crusade," Colonel Knox attacked the New Deal party with the assertion: "Whatever the government has been doing abo^t recovery has been wrong. It has not helped recovery. It has blocked recovery. The Administration has proceeded on the theory that the business man and the farmer must fce told how to run their businesses by some planner in Washington." 7 rescue. Lawns and gardens will reap much benefit from the rain, however, as well as pastures and alfalfa, although it came too late to help the corn much. No serious damage resulted from the storm here although trees were blown dojvn in neighboring localities. The Phil Meyers home was struck by lightning during the storm, filling the rooms with a glare of light and blowing out fuses and electrical connections, - The storm seemed to be worse east of here and t/ees were blown across the highway.

Vandenberg of Michigan told the Union League Club in an address here that "it still is the personification of the Constitution; it still is the banner of a free people who propose to vote themselves a new emancipation" in November. Asserting that the American people must "fight for their liberty," Senator Vandenberg charged that the New Deal administration is sponsoring, through Secretary Henry Wallace, an 'unwritten constitu tion.' "If you do not want this 'unwritten constitution' this may be your last opportunity to say so," warned Senator Vandenberg.
