Declined to Enter Against RooMTclt Bnt Bankhead was what poli ticians call a "regular." When It developed that President Roose velt was in the race, he stepped aside, sot the Alabama delega tion's promise not to offer -his - name for president, and boarded i the Roosevelt bandwagon. For the rice-presidency. It was a different story. Bankhead, along with his friends, campaigned rig orously for second place, declaring he was one of half a dosen men satisfactory to the president and that none would get White House , Messing. . -j But Henry A. Wallace of Iowa, secretary of agriculture, 'was des ignated as Mr. Roosevelt s choice. Bankhead declined to get out ot the race. Af a hectic night session the Alabaman received one ova tion after another. The right nar rowed down to Wallace and Bank- head. .When the president's choice got i Che nomination on the first ballot, ; Bankhead - immediately pledged loyalty to the Roosevelt-Wallace ticket. i Born on a small plantation at , Moscow. Ala., on April 12, 1874, ' Bankheld was the son of a Con federate army captain who biased a trail to congress which later was followed by two of his sons.

About 10 years after the father's death, another son, John H. Bank- head, second, won a senate seat. Adherence to his father's ad vice to "stay on the floor of the house and learn the rules," made "Will" Bankhead one of the ablest parliamentarians in congress. It i was to this knowledge he attrib uted his rise to the speakership but he was aided materially by his ability as an -orator and his wide popularity among tne mem bers. A product ot the hill country of his native state, he was educated in log schoolhouses, the University of Alabama and Georgetown uni versity's law school. Soon after receiving his law degree, he al- nnst forsnolr lit nrnfeulnn f nr a theatrical career In New York Family opposition induced him to give up the Idea but he lived to see his ambitions in that direction at tained by his daughter.
