HOT SPRIN MECCA TODAY
 OF DEMOCRATS
From Four Corners of Ma ton, Democrats Assem-
 ble to Honor Robinson
VICE-PRESIDENTIAL
 CANDIDATE NOTIFIED
Chairman Raskob, Keynot- CT Bowers Arrive at
 Scene Early Today

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, Aug. 30. From the four corners of the Nation. Democrats are trooping into this valley in the picturesque Ozark foothills in America's first National Park, the scene of the first notification ceremonies in Arkansas for a President or Vice Presidential nominee. Senator Joseph T. Robinson, Vice-Presi- dential candidate on the Demo- cratic National ticket is the man to be honored tonight in formal notification of his nomination.
 The visitors found the city be- decked for the occasion and near ly everyone expressed surprise at the beauty of the little amphi- theatre in which the ceremonies will be held.
 Senator Robinson was up early today to greet as many of the visitors as possible He had dis- posed of his business to have the eptire day free to devote himself to welcoming his friends.
 Keyncter Arrives
 Chairman John J Raskob, of the Democratic National Commit tee, and a host of others, arrived here this morning, including Claude c. Bowers, of New York, who sounded the keynote of the Democratic campaign at the Ma tional convention at Houston, and who will make the formal address here.
 Site for Ceremonies
 The site selected for the cere- monies is a natural bowl, at one end of Central Avenue, the main business street, with North Mountain rising on one side, East Mountain on another and Hot Springs Mountain on the third.
 In front of the Arlington Hotel where Central and Park Avenues and Fountain Street converge, a speakers platform is erected. On the lawn of Arlington Park and the side of Hot Springs mountain, seats for 25,0O0 spectators have been placed with amplifiers scat tered about to bring distinctly to the crowd the words of the speak CTS. A national chain hookup will broadcast the proceedings.
 Hot Springs National Park was created by act of Congress in 1882 as result of survey which President Thomas Jeffer- son ordered in 1894. Thus to the founder of the Democratic Party it perhaps owes its crea- tion.
 Party Lines Eliminated
 Party lines have been brushed aside in the arrangements. A prominent Republican, Martin A. Eisele, is a member of the local arrangements committee which also includes: w. H. Martin, former United States District Att
