ton train, with his clothing in
flames, a man who gave his name
as Roy Fleming, "a, of Whining
ton, Del, was discovered last night
as the train pulled into Pennsyl-
vania Station here.
Shouts from several hundred
persons in the station, who sighted
the human torch, warned the
train crew. Climbing atop the To-
connective, the crew beat out the
flames and sent the man to st.
.Joseph'S Hospital. There he told
attendants his name was Roy
Fleming, then lapsed into coma.
Special officers of the railroad
said the man had 10 cents and a
pint of whiskey in his pockets.
The trains last stop before ar.
irving here was Wilmington and
the railroad officers expressed the
opinion that the man, in "hook-
ing" a ride, climbed to the top
of the locomotive. It was believed
his clothing was fired by coming
in contact with an exposed part
of the trolley arm.

We salute you, Dick Grant!
Dick Grant, of 1913 Webster ST..

award of $40.
The prize is given to Mr.. Grant,
not for any particular cartoon, but
for his consistently fine contribu-
tons to the amateur section.
He Offers Many
A week scarcely ever goes by
but that Cartoonist Grant comes
into the office with two or three
cartoons tucked under. his arm,
from which he asks us to make a
selection. And the selection is
usually difficult to make because
Of the quality of all his efforts.
It is therefore with great pride
that we give the award to Mr..
Grant, and with genuine faith
that we say that he is bound to
make his mark in the world Of
cartooniStS.
Aside from this important an
nouncement, we can also say that
this July edition of the amateur
section is really worth while. We
were flooded with Fourth of July
stories, features, cartoons and ed
ttorials, and it was with great diff
Guilty that we finally made the Sc

Again, we would like to call to

the British press party, which has
passed two nights on the Mont
real-Vancouver jubilee train en-
route to the Coast, has been wear
ing a harraSsed expression each
evening when the porter came
to make up the beds. Today
the reason was brought to light.
He timidly inquired, of a Ca

"Is there any particular tech
nique used to get into an up

The Canadian answered:
"N0, you just get up the
ladder and scramble In"
THAT ladder?" the English
man asked in surprise.
He had occupied a compart.
ment with another reporter and
neither knew that it was usual
to ring for the porter and his
ladder. So for two nights the
writer had been swinging himself
up by the overhead bar.

Governor Lehmans Candidacy Puts New Heart In Democratic Cause
N. Y. CHIEF
TO RUN
AGAIN
His denomination Ii
Expecte d to
Aid F. ID. r.

A big sigh Of relief
was audible in New Deal
circles earlier this week
when Governor Lehman
announced he would &C.
cept denomination as the
D e m o C ratio standard
bearer for governor Of
New York. The decision
came as a victorious eli
max to a sustained drive
by Administration lead
ers to persuade the gov
ernor to change his de-
cision to return to pri-
vate life.
Political observers
point to this drive on
the part of the Demo
Gratis as evidence of ex-
treme anxiety over the
results of the coming
election. While big
Jim" Farley has boasted
the New Deal will carry
more States than in the
sweeping election of '32,
New Deal political doc
tors were quick to pre-
scribe L,ehman's renomi-
nation and the strength
it is supposed to carry
as q much-needed tonic
for the weakened Don
key.
Present trends denote
a strong chance of the
Northern States swing
ing Solidly back to the
G. o. P, and, with Gov
ernor Landon'S expected
strength in the West,
the election looms as a
tight one, in which New
York's Al electoral votes
would play a strong
hand in deciding the
outcome at the polls. Al
ready marked by grow
ing Landon favor, New
York political skies
beam much more prom
ising to Democrats since
Lehman decided to take
his place in the sun.
The Democratic gov
ernor will have no
trouble in carrying New
York again, say New
DealistS, and, with it, he
will AIRY Roosevelt
over the top on the New
York battlefront. Repub.
licans, however, are
skeptical of a Lehman
reelection, and, even If
he should carry the
State, they say, his in
fluence would not save
New York from register
ing a victory for the re-
incarnated Elephant.
