Caption: 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. Hearst, a registered Democrat of New York, who cannot vote in this state and who not even a resident of California. [Los Angeles Times, 26 Apr. 1936: 10]
