Senator Robinson Is strong man in
tellectually and physically. 1t may be
remembered that Woodrow Wilson
called him the intellectual and moral
leader of the Senate" That was after
Robinson's vigorous fight for the League
of Nations.
And now, as he prepares the ground
work for a campaign through his be-
loved but not too certain South, Sem
ator Robinson looks the fighter more
than the raconteur The freckles of his
youth cloud his ruddinesS. His aQui-
line nose is a little fierce. His blue
eyes have q way OF striking out from
under his CRAVING brows, His mouth,
normally humorous. turns down little
at the corners. He bites his cigar as
he talks and Is restless.
Voice Is Stentorian.
Senator Robinson trained his ortho-
phonic voice in his teens by reading
every word of Sir Walter Scott and
Charles Dickens aloud to his brother in
a farmhouse near Lonoke That voice
has stopped Hefiin and many Senator
as yoluble.
And he has strong body. His
father, before he became a fighting
Baptist preacher was physician who
held the human body sacred. He urged
his son to care for his body properly.
Senator Robinson today Is a broad
shouldered. deep-chested man with good
muscles. Mrs. Robinson laughed at the

which he taught In his late teens, will
recall that strength. Joe Robinson
took the school over when the students
got too husky for his predecessor. Joe
started the term by lining UP the big
boys of the school and inviting them,
one or more at time, to box or
wrestle.
They accepted the challenge. But
they never accepted another. He took

SMITH WILL REST
OVER LABOR DAY
Governor, Seeking SurCease
OF Madding Crowds,
to Stay Home.

ny the Associated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y, September Con
vinced that after all there's no place
like home, Gov. Smith settled down
today to enjoy quiet week end at the
executive mansion.
He placed A ban on politics and work
for few days, and figured he could get
more comfort and rest here than by
Joining the Labor day exodus to the
sea, and mountains.
Before he became Democratic preSi-
dental nominee, Mr.. Smith was able
even though governor, to slip away for
a vacation with some degree OF seclu-
sion. But his last week end in New
Jersey. where he continuously was the
center of crowds, convinced him that
these days are over.
Seeks Rest.
More than anything right now. AS
he steels himself for the hardships OF
campaigning, the Democratic standard
bearer is looking for rest and sleep. Al
the executive mansion he feels that he
can get both. and at the same time
enjoy close contact with his family
The mansion is a rambling red brick
structure nestled among trees about six
blocks from the Capitol. 1t is sur
rounded by high iron fence. On three
sides OF the big house are porches. The
rooms have high ceilings and are cool
and to the rear is the 200, housing the
monkeys. deer and other animals that
have been presented to the governor,
In these surroundings the Demo-
cratic leader will take 1t easy for a few
DAYS. There he will be able to romp
with his three small grandchildren, the
eldest lust old enough to sing The
Sidewalks OF New York and propose
Three cheers for the next President OF
the United States"
Old Friend is Guest.
For the week end the family circle
has been expanded to include the gov
ernor's crony, william F. Kenney, New
YORK millionaire. on whose special car
the nominee will travel during the cam
paign. .,,s .o.,
Gov. Smith put his holiday resi-
schedule into effect today by calling on
his usual daily press conference. ne
sent word to newspaper men that ne mac
no news. and particularly that ne nae
no comment to make at this time on
the cable from Europe of William r.
