Notable Political

Heart trouble, aggravated, it is
asserted, by his leadership of the

1!'J8 made him the running mate
of Airn-d E. SiQth In one of the
most memorable presidential
elections In the nation's 'history.
To n large extent he shaped his
own destiny, but he wua, never
theless, a man seemingly cast for
the times. '. iioiigion and prohibi

the Mason and Dixon line felt
deeply, dictated that the democra
tic party which had chosen Smith,
a 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.
In Senutor Robinson, the party
found u man not only suitable to

also one whose ability, political

also asked damages of $25,000 and
an accounting of the profits from
