Next day Nominee Landon stumped across Michigan with better weather and bigger audiences than he had in chilly Detroit. Here & there small boys booed him. His second day in Michigan ended with bursting bombs, red fire, a cheering crowd of 75,000 welcomers at Grand Rapids.

Meeting bad weather, Pilot C. H. Chidlaw landed at Trinidad, Colo, for the night. Next morning he and his two passengers headed north again. Twenty minutes later, three ranchers near lonely Rattlesnake Buttes saw the plane circling in distress through the heavy blizzard. Apparently intending to land, Pilot Chidlaw cut his motor.
