sary to have a two-fisted permanent
chairman and the Arkansan got the
job.
He took charge of the convention as II
he had been born to the job, and
stood up under the trying grind of
ID ballots during days and nights. His
record there had no small part in his
selection three years later as the Demo-
cratic leader in the Senate when Oscar
w Underwood laid down the reins.
Still it was not alone the ability
shown at San Francisco that earned
Robinson the Senate job. He had gone
long way from the time of his pro-
motion from the House He had made
a good legislative record; had been &C
tive in some of the more important
fights in the Senate and had won the
unqualified Endorsement of Woodrow
Wilson. who, near the end of his life,
declared Robinson to be the real moral
and intellectual leader" of the Demo-
Gratis in the Senate.
Fathered j. c. c. Bills.
The Arkansan, before attaining to
the leadership, put through a bill for
reorganization of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, assisted with leg
islation for creation of the Federal
Trade Commission, and had charge of
the child labor law, which the Supreme
Court subsequently declared unconstitu-
tional. He also had been active in In
1lan and military questions, and in 1915,
Just before this country entered the
World War he was instrumental in the
reorganization of the entire aviation
section of the Signal Corps.
Especially well informed regarding
foreign affairs his arguments against
the four-power treaty. which Senator
Underwood helped to frame as an
American delegate to the arms confer
ence, have been among the most
memorable of his Senate career.
Although he served as governor of
his State for only a very brief space.
his administration was attended by
legislative enactments of prime i'm
portance, including the corrupt prac-
tices act, the reorganization and reform
of the State banking system, and
institutions in the State.
Robinson has been a hard worker
all his life. His habits are simple and
temperate He is fond of outdoor
sports, especially of hunting, fishing
and golf, but has had little time for
them.
He was married December IS, 1896
to Miss Ewilda Gertrude Miller
Robinson is sure to be an interesting
figure in the campaign. AS a speaker
he is picturesque and often impressive
With clenched fists he pounds the
tables and seats about him Perhaps
his most memorable speeches were those
in opposition to the ratification of the
four-power treaty. 1t was during the
prolonged contest over this treaty in
the Senate that he demonstrated his
capacity for leadership to the satisfac-
ton of his Democratic colleagues and
made more of a Nationwide reputation
as a resourceful fighter than he had
made in all the rest of his public
career.
His speech. delivered just prior to
the declaration Of war against Ger
many. in reply to Senator La Toilette,
is still remembered as one of the most
forceful arguments heard in the Sem
ate in recent years.

DESPAIRING OF PROMOTION. \
WORLD FLYER QUITS ARMY
Lieut.. Erik Nelson Resigns,
His Friends Say, Because of
Present System.
Doubted That He Would
Reach Rank of Major
Before Retirement.

Tomorrow night Erik II. Nelson, cir
cumnaVigator of the globe by airplane
and one of the most efficient airmen
who ever wore the silver wings of the
Army Air Corps, will drop off the rolls of
that organization because, according to
his friends here. the present system of
promotion made it doubtful for him to
expect rank greater than that Of
captain before he would be retired on
account Of age.
Lieut.. Nelson reached his fortieth
birthday June ~, and on April % last
he celebrated his tenth anniversary Of
the receipt of his commission as a sec
ond lieutenant in the Army's flying
branch. Lieut.. Nelson's resignation
from the Air Corps was accepted by
President Coolidge and the famous pilot
will assume an engineering duty with
the Boering Airplane Co. of Seattle,
Wash
The action of Lieut. Nelson, accord
ing to friends, was arrived at after
lengthy consideration of the possibilities
of a future in military aviation. Far
down on the promotion list and in the
World War Hump" Lieut.. Nelson de-
SPARED of ever reaching the grade Of
major.
One Member Left.
The resignation of Lieut.. Nelson
leaves but one member of the flight that
flew around the World-the leader. Capt.
Lowell H. Smith, now on duty in the
Hawaiian Islands.
Lieut. Nelson was known in the Air
Corps for his Unsuitable appetite for
work and because of this he had part
in three of the Arnys greatest long
distance flights. Lieut. Nelson's ability
won him a place in the New York
Nome Washington flight of 1920. the
San Antonio-Porto Washington
flight of 1928, and the world fight Of
1924.
Lieut.. Nelson was born in Stockholm.
Sweden, and upon completing his ele-
mentary education he purslted two
year technical course in a Stockholm
school Shortly thereafter he shipped
on a German sailing vessel and in the
five years that followed sailed under al
most every flag and in all parts of the
seven seas His family persuaded him
to give up the rowing spirit and COM
plete his education, which he did by
taking up engineering work. Shortly
after coming to America for permanent
residence, Lieut.. Nelson became affili-

that it will do much for the party in

While it does not commit the party
to the terms of the equalization fee OF

President Coolidge, 1t does agree to give
the subject serious consideration
saying:
I'VE pledge the party to an earnest
endeavor to solve this problem of the
distribution of the cost of dealing with
the crop SURPRISES over the marketed
units of the crop, whose producers are
benefited by such assistance
The farm plank also promises early
legislation for the farmers and the
addition of a system for the aid of the
farmers similar to the Federal Reserve
for business and the banks

thrown the prohibition issue definitely
into the coming campaign. 1t is q

try were already modifying to meet.

tor Bratton placed the name of Senator
Robinson formally before the conyen-

70 sweep out of 10 delegations greeted
the name of the Arkansan.
Brattan reviewed Senator Robinson's
