		Hot but happy was Topeka, Kans. last week as it turned out to salute John Daniel Miller Hamilton, returning from Cleveland to hand the Republican nomination to Governor Alfred Mossman Landon and to plan with him how their glowing prize may be converted into the U. Presidency.
		It called for no important speech by Nominee Landon until his acceptance late in July; then a short speech-making tour, probably beginning at West Middlesex, Pa., his birthplace; then a rest and, for the final weeks of the campaign, an energetic swing possibly from Boston to Los Angeles.
		To his admirers he is a fine fellow, unquestionably loyal, in spite of a hard-shell political past; to Governor Landon and Liberalism, a bright new blade of energy and vigor who will lead his Party to far better success than all the butter-knife minds who for a decade have been running the Republican show.
