Month ago at the Sinnissippi farm of onetime (1917-21) Governor Frank Orren Lowden, near Oregon, Ill., the two Republican chieftains met and announced that they were "in agreement on every essential problem." This meant that they were not prepared to disagree in public. However, last fortnight in Topeka, Alf Landon called a national radio mass-meeting, spoke his mind on the state of the Union for half an hour (TIME, Nov. 1), without so much as a lukewarm mention for Herbert Hoover's biggest political plan. Last week, addressing a meeting of 3,000 Republicans in Boston...
...Moines, in his native Iowa, he asked the graduating class of Drake University: "Will government permit you to breathe the pure air of liberty in the spirit of the Bill of Rights?" Then, whisk, and the Hoover motor car flashed into Illinois and up the driveway to Sinnissippi Farm, 5,000-acre country seat of Frank Orren Lowden...
Undaunted by Mayor Thompson's unfriendliness, the Lowden boom continued. While Mr. Lowden spent another quiet week at Sinnissippi, rounded off by a trip to Evanston to see the Northwestern University drub Iowa 12 to 0,* his name was formally entered for the Indiana primaries and his manager, State Senator Clarence F.

Now, as a humble Cincinnatus, he bides on his Sinnissippi Farm at Oregon, Ill., refusing to be called from the plow until the psychopolitical moment. With much honk and ceremony, a large motorcade of his admirers drew up at Sinnissippi last month. Mr. Lowden had known in advance that they were coming, but when he strode out on the porch in riding boots, his greeting to them was an indefinite gesture. Instead of a destination, he gave them...
...Frank O. Lowden, the Farmer's Friend, as he stepped off the Twentieth Century Limited, home again after two months of watching German and Scandinavian farmers at their chores. The family party-Mrs. Lowden was with her husband-went first to the Drake-owned Blackstone Hotel, then to "Sinnissippi," the 4,500-acre Lowden agricultural estate down at Oregon, 111. There, three days later, 500 Illinois bankers followed them, to stand knee deep in clover that was soaked by a heavy drizzle, to hear...
