 Recently Peay had been mention ed as a possible running mate on next years democratic presidential ticket. The first man in a hundred years to be elected three times to the governorship in Tennessee, a doubtful state. he was looked upon as man who would bring strength to the democratic ticket as nominee for the presidency.
 Peay signed Tennessee's anti-evo- lution bill, which added 10 his popu- larty. His real strength, however. was due 10 his program of good road building and his consolidation Of state departments.
 He strongly championed the crea- ton of a national park in the Smoky mountains, to which he devoted much time. His efforts in that con- nection won him many republican votes in east Tennessee. the propos- cd national park being situated in that section Of the state
 East Tcnnessaeans. regardless Of their party, also supported him be cause of his support Of the Jniver- sity of Tennessee in the dismissal several years ago of several profes- sors because of their "adyanced' ideas.
 Peay was born in lSI6 in Chris tian county, Ky, and attended Washington and Lee University and Centre college. He was married to Sallie Hurst in 1895 and the follow ing year he was admitted to the bar.
 When he was only 25, Peay was elected to the state senate. There after, he was active in democratic politics until 1>22 when he was first elected governor. He was re-elect- ed in 1924 and again in 1926.

PROGRESS In TRADE
AMITY ANNOUNCED

European countries have made some
progress toward elimination of trade
barriers as a result of the Geneva
and Stockholm economic conferences,
Basil Miles, American administrative
commissioner at the Paris headquar-
ters of the International Chamber OF
Commerce, declared in a report today
to the American section of that or
ganization.
Governments now are beginning
either to apologize or protest, as the
case may be, whenever they diverge,
or are faced with Emergencies from
the sane and peaceful decisions of
these two remarkable expressions of
opinion based on the authority OF
practical experience" the report said.
Commissioner Miles declared that
while the diplomatic conference at
Geneva failed to realize it's purpose
in complete form, ''it has torn aside
the veil Of reticence which obscured
good many vital policies, and the
dormant difficulties which lay behind
them have been given fuller ventila-
ton than ever before.
THE strangling system of import
and export prohibitions which has de-
veloped almost unchecked during the
economic dislocation of the last few
years has at last been tagged. named,
defined, restricted in some important
phases" he said, ''and finally has been
condemned to continued examination
in the, slow and cautious progress of
government policy. This result may
be disappointing, but nevertheless 1t
marks some progress and extends the
prospect of a much greater advance
in the future"
