CANDIDATE

STADIUM, CHICAGO, June 80
UNS0.-Describing him as a
man who could lead the way
back to prosperity. Michael L.
Igoe, former national committee
man from Illinois, today placed
in nomination for the presidency
the name of Melvin A. Traylor,
Chicago banker.
Igoe told the Democratic con-
vention that his nominee is one
''to whom the American people
would turn with infinite relief as
against the weakness. the indie
cision, the lack Of vision, the
ineptitude and the incompetence
of Herbert Hoover"
Farmers Trust Him
Sketching Traylor's rise from
the backwoodS of Kentucky to
an eminnet position in the ma
tion's financial circles, Igoe de-
clared the Chicagoan is "a banker
whom the farmers trust. He said:
1--WE need q man who can
view the problems Of the day
In their international aspects; a
man who knows the interrela-
tiOns Of worldwide commerce;
q man expert in the problems
of business, Of trade, of finance.
"ThiS is no time for ballyhOO,
for POllyanna. It is q time for
the exercise Of the SOundeSt wis
dom. We do not enable men to
! find jobs, we do not open up
markets for the products of our
farms, our factories, our mines,
, by weILmeaning phrases. We
have seen only too sadly the ut
ter futility of this sort Of thing
in the efforts Of our national
Administration for the past two
years.

nation of the day of financial

"orgy of gambling" on the Stock

should not be sacrificed to the

WOnlan's Party Voice
RGDs Both Platforms

The Democratic platform makes
no better provision than the Re
publican, so far as women are
concerned, according to Miss Maud
Younger, congressional chairman
of the National Woman's Party.
Although both parties have
learned not to link women with
children, neither is willing to treat
v-omen as adults by giving them
an equal status before the law
with men, she said.

Living Characters Used
ON Ancient Chessboard

The Mughul emperors of India car
ried out some strange plans in con-
nection with their domestic life, and
a visitor to the famous fort in Agra
will be able to see some of the beau
tiful buildings used as part of the
zenana. One Of the most interesting
features is the open space in the CEN
ter of the fort, known as the Anjuri
Bagh. This space is divided into
many squares, marked off by marble
slabs, and covered with green grass.
There are broad marble eauseways
between the separate blocks. 1t is
generally believed that the Mughul
emperors used these as chess-bOards,
and the pieces" used in the game
were young slaves, who changed
their position according to the direc-
tions of the players, who would be
seated in one of the marble pavilions.
The game played in those days did
not correspond with the modern
chess, but was known as pachesi.
The size of the Anjuri Bagh is about
$50 feet square.

It formed part of a two-wheeled cart

OF 5 CANADA MAY BE
 PRIVATELY OWNED
That Victory Seemed As- sured To-day By the Re- tirement of Sir Henry Thornton, Head of Rail- way

Montreal, July 22.-(UP)--A victory for private ownership over government control of the railroad business was seen to-day in the retirement this week of Sir Henry Thornton, as head of the Canadian National Railways.
 Thornton, 8 liberal in politics and liberal in expenditures for the government controlled line. was pictured by some as a victim, first, of the conservative party, and sec ond as sacrificed to the power of the vast privately owned Canadian Pacific railway.
 Canada has had a commission in- vestigating its great lines which in many ways duplicate expense, parallel each other. and represent outlays which under consultations such as the American l. c. c. has just approved would be avoided.
 In fact, the Canadian commits sion's forthcoming report may rec omniend merger, or at least elim- ination of much duplication.
 Sir Henry, U. s. born, and a rail- roader for many years. was doomed, many said, when the wealthy, outspoken Premier R. B. Bennett and his conservatives took power.
 Sir Henry, for instance, opposed the dictates of those who wanted a blanket cut in salaries and rates, and decreed that if these were to be undertaken, the salary cuts and the rate reductions must be con- sideYed individually and separate ly.
 He spent literally of government funds to make deluxe line and deluxe service. He had hotels built to lure travellers over the c. N. R. The c. P. R. answered by spending more for the same purpose and outstripped Thornton both on land and on. the fleets that joined Canada and England.
 At the time of the access to pow CT of Bennett, millionaire and one- time C.. P. R. solicitor, there was bitter rivalry between c. P. R. and c. N. R. It was no secret that the Canadian Pacific was regarded as holding the upper hand and ready to put on the screws"
 Attacks on the Canadian Ma tional grew stronger. Work was halted on the c. N. R.'s project for a $5O,0O0,000 station in Montreal something the c. P. R had op- posed.
 The c. P. R. forces in the last session of parliament made charges of "wanton extravaganza" against Sir Henry and his associates. AS an upshot, Sir Henry, following a report of the house railways com mittee, was forced to make some salary readjustments. This osten- sibly ended the feud, but the pres- sure was still present, finally forc- ing Sir Henry out.

Noted Artist Resumes
Work on Great Mural

Hanover, N. H.-Jose Clemente
Oroczo, noted Mexican artist, has re-
sumed work at Dartmouth college on
the vast mural painting which he hopes
will be his masterpiece.
With the 5000 square feet of walls
in Baker Memorial library's reserve
book room as his canvas" OroZcO is
unfolding in true fresco his conception
of the epic of civilization on the Amer
lean continent.
A central theme of the work is the
myth of Quetzalcoatl, pre-C Columbian
culture hero of the Americas. 1t treats
of the contribution of Indian and Eu-
ropean to the formation of American
civilization and will close with a
prophecy as to the future of Ameri-
can culture.
Summoned to Dartmouth to exhibit
true fresco painting, Orozco was i'm
pressed with the possibilities of the
library room as a site for his project.
