Landon Nominated for President at Republican Convention
Gov Alfred M Landon secured on first ballot the Republican presidential nomination with 984 of 1008 votes as party unity surged. The platform urged Americanism, farm relief, wage and hours laws, civil service merit, and limited federal overreach, while opposing League of Nations and World Court. Mussolini reshuffled Italy's cabinet naming Count Ciano foreign minister and giving other posts to younger leaders. Bread prices rise modestly as AAA tax effects fade, while a looming potato shortage worries households depending on weather and crops.
