en promises, John D. Hamilton,
dynamic young republican nati n
al Chairman, said tonight in his
first major address since he and
Alfred M. Landon emerged from

leaders of their party.
He charged the president and \
the democratic party with dis
honesty and pointed to the 1936
republican platform as a realist
ic honest solution of the ills be
setting the country.
Hamilton began his address to
the republican finance committee
and party leaders with cutting
sarcasm directed at James A Far
ley, democratic national chair
man.
“I haven’t been able to take
Jim seriously since the summer
of 1934 when at Salt Lake City
he said ‘we are having the most
economical federal administration
you have had for years”, said
Hamilton.
“That evidenced his spending
sense of humor which he has ap
parently retained in spite of
what he had to deal with for he
recently spoke of Governor Lan
don’s candidacy as an experi
ment”, said the republican chair
man.
