...might claim to be currently the Party's ablest vote-getter. Governor Landon's chief distinction, that of being a Great Economizer, has already been developed into a legend of frugality by his friends. His miserly appearance, his proclivity for backing the athletic teams of his Alma Mater, the State University, with nickel bets, have helped win him the title of "Coolidge of the West."

Economy offered Greta Garbo pinching a smartly painted penny and wearing for a hat a sauce pan from whose handle dangled a pair of eyeglasses. Mater Dolorosa was a hollow-cheeked Marlene Dietrich, with heart-shaped buckles on her suspenders, a phonograph record on her head, looking into a magnifying mirror...
