HAIL PRESIDENT
INARKANSAS
By GEORGE DURNO

ABOARD PRESIDENTIAL SPE-
CIAL EN- ROUTE TO ARKAN.
SAS, June 10.-President Roose-
welt today came into Arkansas,
the wonder State which is proudly
celebrating the one hundredth an
niversary of her admittance to
the Union.
The Chief Executive was headed
for Little Rock, where this eve
ming he will lend his presence to
the Arkansas Centennial with q
nationally broadcast speech.
Earlier, however, a strenuous
schedule had been mapped out
for him which will take him
across a good section Of the State
by motor and permit him to
wrap a political arm of affec-
ton around Joseph T. Robinson,
senior Senator from Arkansas and
majority leader of the upper
house of Congress, who comes up
for reelection this year.
Senator Robinson was aboard
the presidential special on its
southwestern tour. So was Mrs.
Hattie Caraway, the lady Senator
from Arkansas.

New Hoover Given
Warm Reception

CLEVELAND, June 10 U.N.SO
A carefree, jovial Herbert Hoover
whose broad grin and ready hand
shake radiated confidence and
happiness, came to the Republican
convention today and was greeted
by a thunderouS ovation.
The former President stepped
from a train this morning and
was nearby mobbed by a crowd OF
5000 cheering, flag-waving en-
thuSiastS.
Pounds heavier, his face rudy
and boyiSh, Hoover was scarcely
recognizable as the tired, worn
man who left the White House a
little more than three years ago.
Even the stiff, Starched high
collar Of other years had given
way to a lower one.
Mr.. Hoover was greeted by
Henry Fletcher, the national
chairman, three former members
Of his Cabinet, Patrick j. Hurley
Robert Lamont and Arthur HYDE

OIL MAN QUITS
ROOSEVELT

PITTSBURGH, June 10'I.N.SO
Angered by the Roosevelt admin
iStration's heavy" tax program,
Michael L. Benedum, 66-year-old
Pittsburgh multimillionaire oil
man, today announced he had
withdrawn all support, financial
and otherwise, from the Demo
cratic 1886 presidential campaign.
Benedum, one of the largest
contributors to the 1882 Demo
cratic campaign fund, said he
had cancelled his box for the
Philadelphia convention and
turned down a request from w.
Forbes Morgan, uncle by mar
rage of President Roosevelt and
secretary Of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, for a contribu-
ton of half a million dollars to
the Democratic party.
The present tax program, Be-
medium said, stands to make him
zone of the hardest hit men in
the United States" and he found
himself "cold" to Democratic
pleas for assistance. His with
drawal as a Roosevelt supporter
was described by Democratic lead
ers here as a "blow" to the
party's chances in Pennsylvania.

CLEVELAND, June 10.-Bruce
Barton, publicity adviser to the
Republican national committee,
was explaining to a group of old
members that the convention
should do something to dramatic
the party.
He was asked:
"What would you SuggeSt?"
And replied:
"WelI, Off.hand, it would seem

member Of the party to sit on
the platform and tell why he is a
Republican.
His questioner then exclaimed:

'Lunacy" was one of the
milder terms which the pudgy
Republican leader used in de-
scribing the way things have
been going in Washington un-
der the Democratic admins
tration.
Coupled with his indictment Of
the New Deal was an earnest plea
for Republicans to stand together
this year-"to sink all differences,
reconcile all opinions; moderate
all ambitions, and unite all ener-
gies," to the end that the Republi-
cans may lead America against
the unconstitutional dictatorship
and the arrogant individualism Of
Franklin Delano Roosevelt"
SHELLS speech was replete with
pungent phrases and biting criti-
cism of what he described as "the
groteSque failures of the New
Deal" The institutions of the
Government, he said at the outset,
"have been debauched by a greedy
partiSanShip."
It was more than an indictment
Of a political administration, it

The fight at one point almost
got beyond the "liar calling"

Rover'S case before the com.

P. McCracken, the attorney who
served q contempt term in the
District Jail for defying a Senate

committee to seat Rover and his
delegates, pointing to the huge
vote Rover polled here in the

seated.

Mr.. Hoover shook hands with

thanked by a squad of policemen,
