NEW YORK, Aug. 13–Gov. Alfred M. Landon will carry Illinois by “a resounding plurality,” Col. Robert R. McCormick, publisher of The Chicago Tribune, predicted yesterday on a visit to eastern Republican Chairman Joseph W. Martin Jr.

He asserted:
“The Landon candidacy is sweeping the west.”

The Republican candidate for governor, C. Wayland Brooks, will also win in his contest with Governor Horner, Democrat, Colonel McCormick predicted.
