Landon Legend

In the endeavor to build up Kansas' Governor Alf M. Landon as a GOPossibility by creating around him the legend of a penny-pinching "Coolidge of Kansas." there have been impressed on the public mind as his two chief qualifications for the Presidency the facts that he: 1) has "balanced" Kansas' budget; 2) makes nickel bets on University of Kansas football games. Last week a shrewd publicity stroke added one more fact to the Landon Legend. Discovering that his 10,000 Happy New Year cards were so large that they required 1 1/2-c- stamps, Governor Landon had the printer shave them down to if size, thereby deprived the U. S. Government of $50 in postage.

The Landon greeting: "The Landons wish you a balanced 1936 of health and happiness."
