Alf M Landon [stamped:] APR 29 1936 Text from newspaper caption: When, how and why Gov. Landon of Kansas refused to enter the Presidential primaries of California or any other State. By not a word nor a line has he or anyone authorized to speak for him ever receded from this position. His alleged entry in the California Republican contest is a piece of bald-faced trickery on the part of W. R.
