LIBERTY, N. Y., Aug . 13–Governor Landon is leading President Roosevelt, 8 to 5, in the straw vote being conducted by the Liberty Register, it was announced today.

With 1,484 votes tabulated, the newspaper declared the standing was:
LANDON–855.
ROOSEVELT–565.
LEMKE–54.
THOMAS–10.

Since the ballots returned constitute almost 50 per cent of those sent out by the Register, today’s standings were regarded as likely to be changed only slightly by future returns.

In 1932 the President carried Liberty Township, which is in Sullivan County.

LANDON RESTS PENDING FIRST TRIP EAST

ESTE PARK, COLO.. Aug 13–Resting before undertaking the ardors of a vigorous presidential campaign, Gov. Alfred M. Landon was vacationing today with his family high in the Colorado Rockies.

The governor planned a week’s rest on the McGraw ranch, deep in the Devil’s Gulch country, 80 miles north of Denver. Mrs. Landon and the three children, Peggy Anne, Nancy Jo and Jackie Cobb, were with him.

Landon will fish, play with the children and yet find time to whip three speeches into final form for delivery on his first campaign trip into Pennsylvania and New York late this month. He brought rough drafts of the speeches with him but will perfect them under the pines on the ranch.

Rains in the mountains postponed the governor’s first fishing trip since it muddied the highland streams. An old fishing buddy, Dr. Forrest M. Loveland of Topeka, made the trip out here to join him on fishing expeditions.

Landon will leave here early on August 20 to catch a train in Denver for his eastern tour. He will receive few visitors while here and those only for recreation purposes. He told newpaper men he was going to “banish politics” for a week.
