DAVID vIKNER T0COME HERE
Augustana College Guest to Speak at Zion Luth-
 eran Church Friday

Born and brought up in central China, David Vikner, Jr. of Augus- tana College, Rock Island, Illinois, is well able to bring 8 message from the far east. Among his appearances during summer trip in the inter ests of the Augustana Foreign Mis- sionary society, MT. Vikner has ar- ranged to speak in Zion Lutheran Church on Cherry street on Friday evening, June g. At the same time he will show thousand feet of film of mission work in China. His mes- sage will be one that will interest all, and the pictures he will show graph ically illustrate the progress of mis- Sions in China.
 On the following evening, June "A, MT. Vikner will appear in Bethle- hem Lutheran Church of Thomas ton, where he will also show the mo- tion pictures. There will be no ad- mission charge, but silver offering for missions will be lifted. MT. Vik- ner represents the Augustana College Foreign Missionary society, an or ganization of the students at the H. linois institution, that not only has raised thousands of dollars for mis- sions, but has also been instrument tai ill sending many missionaries into the fields of the Augustana Sy- nod in Africa, China, and India. Of himself the China born student says:
 My parents are missionaries in China. This year they are celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of their first going to the foreign mission field. was born in the Chinese city of Juchow, seventy miles from the closest railroad in the very heart of China. From second grade through senior high school except for two short periods when our family was home to the United States on fur tough, I attended our missionary boarding school, the American School of Kikungshan. Having been graduated from high school in 1885. came to this country alone to con. tinue my education. For my first two years of college I attended Luther College in Wahoo, Nebraska, my third year at the University of Min nesota, and this past year, my senior year, at Augustana College, Rock Island, Illinois.
 This summer I represent the Au- gustana College Foreign Missoina-y y society and missions at large. The foreign mission challenge is as great as it ever was. Millions of people liv- ing today have never heard the Cos pei. Forty millions out of the sixty in the Island of Java alone, are in to- tai darkness. The light has never been brought to them. On our own Africa field we have, in one sector one pastor for 139,000 souls. These are simply a couple of examples out of hundreds. Fellow young people the duty is ours. Christ must be pro. claimed to the world and He has giv. en us the privilege to proclaim Hi! Name.

They are at 80 Broadway, in the
law Offices of Oscar r. Ewing, a
member of the firm of Hughes,
Richardson. Hubbard & Ewing, of
which Charles Evans Hughes, jr.,
son of the Chief Justice of the
United States, is the head. Mr..
Ewing was a schoolmate of McNutt
at the University of Indiana. Under
his auspices New York committee
to support the McNutt candidacy
will shortly be formed. For the
moment Ewing is combining himself
to a personal letter-writing cam
paign to prominent Democrats, espe-
cially in New York State, describing
himself as heading I'D the move
ment in the East" The letters point
out that If Roosevelt decides to run
for a third term, the former Gov
ernor of Indiana will promptly step
aside" also that McNutt will invade
no State with a favorite son of its
own.
Justice Buffers Successor.
Opinion as to the identity of JUS
tice Buffers successor on the ST.
preme Court bench is practically
unanimous on one score-namely,
that President Roosevelt's appointee
will be a Roman Catholic. The
Minnesotan's passing removes the
only Catholic member of the bench.
For more than generation there's
been an -lnwritten law that the high
court. rejecting the multi -denomi-
national character of the Nation,
should always include at least one
Catholic and one Jew. A Catholic,
Edward Douglass White, was Chief
Justice. Pre-eminently in the But
Ter successorship gossip loom the
names of Attorney General Frank
Murphy and Federal Circuit Court
of Appeals Justice Harold M. Ste
phens, Utahan, both members of
the Church of Rome. Stephens has
been potential court nominee ever
since Roosevelt began reorganizing
the supreme bench. Apart from his
qualifications as a lawyer and iurist.
plus his church afiiliation, Judge
Stephens geographical background
counts heavily in his favor. But
ler's removal makes way for an
associate justice from the Western
country.

Conservative Stalking Horse?
Many authorities feel the Garner
candidacy is not the real thing;
say the v. P. knows he can't make
the grade and is only in the rum
ming to insure the nomination of
some conservative anti-New Dealer.
Cactus Jacks" managers scout
this theory. They tell you Garner
is in the race this time to win,
and not to trade. In this con-
nection the story is current that
anti-Roosevelt Democrats who are
the bone and sinew Of the Garner
movement assured the Sage OF
Uvalde long ago that he could count
on their 1910 support only if he
pledged himself not to run out" on
them, as they allege he did at Chi
cago in 1882. On that occasion, 1t
will be remembered, Garner car
ried the colors of Hearst and others
who thought him the best bet to
stop Roosevelt" 1t was only when
Jim Farley demonstrated that this
could not be done by any combi-
nation in sight at the convention
that the celebrated Rayburn- Nc
Adoo- Hearst deal was sprung,
whereby Roosevelt amassed the
two-thirds strength necessary for
nomination and Garner received
second place as reward for en-
acting the role of friend in need.
This time, so the tale has it, the
Southern stalwarts and other anti
New Dealers who don't want Roose-
welt have Garner sewed up in a
compact to stay in the contest to
the end.
