SHY CHAP, FRIENDS
. SAY OF BOWERS
Keynote Speaker Once Beat
en- for CongresS-NeVer
Went to College.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June pa rather
diffident chap, who has the knack OF
knowing how to make rousing speech,
is Claude G. Bowers. the keynote
speaker at the Democratic convention
at Houston Tuesday.
Bowers, an edi orial writer on the
New York Evening World. was virtually
unknown to the democracy Of the
country at large until at the Jackson
day dinner at Washington in January
he took his hearers by storm with
fiery speech on the vigorous character
of Andrew Jackson.
Once Ran for Congress.
Bowers is no newcomer to politics.
Years ago. when ne resided in Indiana
and was running for Congress, John z.
Lamb, a political leader of southern
Indiana. referred 10 him as "the fair
haired boy Of destiny" But Bowers
lest the election.
Bowers father died when he was
very young and as lad he sold news
papers TO earn few pennies. He
never went 10 college. but today holds
honorary degrees from some Of the
most prominent universities.
His greatest fame hitherto probably
has been as an author. His books are
The Party Battles Of the Jackson
Period. Jefferson and Hamilton" and
others of 2 historical nature.
Secretary to Kern.
Bowers did some newspaper writing
at high school and started his active
newspaper career on the Terre Haute
Star He left newspaper work to be-
come secretary to the late Senator John
Kern. When the latter was defeated
for reelection. Bowers returned to
. Indiana and became editor OF the Fort
Wayne Journal-Gazette. His work there
attracted the attention of the Evening
World and he was offered the New
York position.
His greatest characteristic perhaps Is
his ShyneSS. Friends tell of the time
he was sent by the Indiana Democratic
State committee to make a speech in
| strange city. A band and a reception
committee was at the station. but no
one paid any attention to the rather
retiring sort of person who disembarked
from the train and took a taxicab TO
the hotel The committee later called
at the hotel TO examine the register and
not until after the meeting, where he
made a rousing address did they seem
convinced that Bowers really was their
speaker for the evening"
