WAS LIFTED TO
 HIGH POSITION
 IN DEMO PARTY
Arkansas Senator Seemed Destined to Become
 Leader in Nation

Political fortunes shaped them selves almost by apparent design to lift Joseph Taylor Robinson to a position of eminence in the Demo- cratic party in the affairs of the nation.
 Although a figure of importance in the Senate during the better part of the decade after the World War, his peculiar availability in 1928 made him the running mate of Alfred E. Smith in one of the most memor- able presidential elections in the nations history.
 To a large extent he shaped his own destiny, but he was, neverthe- less, a man seemingly cast for the times. Religion and prohibition, over which the states below the Mason and Dixon line felt deeply, dictated that the Democratic party which had chosen Smith, New York Catholic and wet, as its leader to contest with Herbert Hoover, would do well to go to the South for its |vice presidential nominee.
 Political Courage
 In Senator Robinson, the party found man not only suitable to meet the strategic necessities, but also one whose ability, political courage and simple dignity held out the best hopes for success.
 He carried his campaign-one of the most ambitious ever attempted by major candidate-from coast to coast and frcsn the northern most states to the gulf; and while his ticket was badly beaten, Robin son returned to the Senate mani festly more strongly entrenched as the leader of his own party and a power to be reckoned with by the Republicans in the determina tion of any policy.
 Surprising Rise
 His rise to prominence reads like the theme of boys novel from the pen of an Alger or a Standish. Within fourteen days he had been a Representative in Congress, gov ernor of Arkansas and a United States Senator from that state. He resigned as Congressman January l4, 1913, to become governor, having been elected to that office the pre- vious September.
 Meanwhile, the death of one of the Senators from Arkansas had created a vacancy and the legis- lature promptly chose the newly in- stalled governor to go to the Sen- ate. He was selected January 2s and took the oath March 10, 1913 thus returning to Washington al- most coincidentally with Woodrow Wilson. whom he supported Loyalty
 Son of Doctor
 1 Senator Robinson was born in a small settlement near Little Rock Ark. August 26, 1872, the son o1 Dr. James and Matilda Jane Rob- inson. He obtained his early edu- cation at home and in rural schools and at the age of IT began teach ing school to earn money to enable him to continue his studies. He at- tended the Arkansas State .Uniyer-

DiMOND OFFERS NEW GAME BILL
 FOR TERRITORY
Delegate Asks Congress to Further Protection, Con-
 servation of Wild Life

WASHINGTON, July 14.--Dele- gate Anthony J. Dimond has asked Congress to amend the Territorial game laws to provide for protec- tion of muskox recently placed on Alaskan ranges. The Delegate in his bill asks that areas be re- stocked or stocked with animals not native of Alaska and also pro- tected. He said no law exists for conservation of the bison muskox so they face extinction by greedy hunters unless protected.
 The Delegates measure also pro- poses the game law be amended to classify Filipinos as aliens. They are now eligible to Alaska game licenses as residents. Another pro- vision in the bill would make a false statement given at the time a license is issued misdemeanor rather than a felony as at present.
 BASED ON MEMORIAL
 The Dimond game bill now pre- sented to Congress is along the same line as the memorial passed by the last Legislature, urging further aid in conservation of Alaska wild life and Federal aid in carrying on restocking pro- gram. Under the measure, the Alaska Game Commission would be allowed to own and operate air. planes in connection with carrying out the game law provisions, ac- cording to Executive Officer Frank Dufresne, of the game commission.

PARTY LEADER OF DEMOCRATS DIES SUDDENLY New Deal Legislative King pin, Stricken in Sleep,
 Passes Away NATIONAL CAPITAL
 SHOCKED BY DEATH Two-point Program Upset Tribute Paid by
 President, Others

WASHINGTON, July l4.-United States. Senator Joseph Taylor Rob- inson, GA, of Arkansas, Democratic Leader and New Deal Legislative Kingpin, was found dead in his bed this morning.
 The sudden death of the Senate leader shocked the Capital City and threw the Administrations leg islative program into turmoil.
 Senator Robinson has been Dem ocratic leader since 1922 and per- sonally was in charge of the Ad- ministration's two major legislative campaigns, to reorganize the courts and Executive Departments.
 Seated for High Court
 Senator Robinson's colleagues ex- pected his appointment to- the Su- preme Court of the United States to fill the vacancy created by the retirement of Associate Justice Will lis Van Devanter.
 Although senator Robinson's health had not been quite as good as in former years, his sudden death was a tremendous shock. The Dem ocratic leader has been working with tremendous energy in recent weeks in an effort to devise a compromise court bill to obtain the Senate's approval.
 Three possible candidates are mentioned as Senator Robinson's successor as Democratic leader = Byrnes of South Carolina. Harrison of Mississippi and Barkley of Ken lucky.
 Drive is Upset
 The sudden death of Senator Rob- inson has upset the Administra- tion's drive to enact a substitute court bill. in which he was given free hand by President Roosevelt to negotiate.
 Senator Burton K. Wheeler, after expressing regret at the 'untimely passing of his political and personal friend" predicted that the court controversy might terminate as the result of the leaders death.
 T beseech the President to drop this court fight lest he appear to fight against God" Senator Wheel CT said.
 To Take Body Home
 Mrs. Hattie w, Caraway, Sena- tor Robinson's colleague from Ar kansas. announced she will accom- pany the body to the deceased's home in Little Rock, Arkansas, where Mrs. Robinson went several days ago.

many made tremendous strides be-
