...City Star headed the contingent of Kansas journalists and political amateurs who buzzed importantly around Landon headquarters. Mostly men in their 40's who had brought their homebody wives along, they were frankly delighted at finding themselves the centre of convention interest after all the years in which Eastern Old Guardsmen had treated Kansans like country cousins. Whether Alf Landon became President or not, the Convention of 1936 would be memorable as marking a radical shift in the Republican centre of gravity. "This is one convention," keynoted Landon's curly-headed Hamilton, "where there will be no smoke...

S. could gain an honest, restrained view of its zealous activities from the newsreels, wire services and the Eastern press, which gave it publicity comparable to that which the Oxford Groups have received in Europe.

Under the new fares, a salesman scurrying about the nation by bus will pay $3 instead of $3.50 to ride...
Collaborating in the new bus rate schedules are the Short, Blue Ridge, Great Eastern, Safeway Trailways and Greyhound Lines. Their spokesman last week was serious, 44-year-old President Arthur M. Hill of Atlantic Greyhound, president also of the National Association of Motor Bus Operators. In the bus business since the War, he is known as the most traveled man in the industry, spends two out of every three days on the road. Said he last week: "The bus companies south of the Ohio and west of the Mississippi have had to meet this same sort of contingency before...
