Thirty-two American rail

HOT SPUINCIS, Ark., Aug. 30.--
(ff) From the four corners of the
nation, democrats were trooping to
day Into this valley in the uznnts
for the formal notification of a
southerner, Senator Joe T. Robin
son of Arkansas, of his eselectlon

nominee.
They found a city bedecked for
the occasion and nearly everyone
expressed surprise nt the natural
beauty of the little amphitheater
in which tho ceremonies will be
held tonight.
The senator. In order to greet
personally as many of the visitors
as possible, hod arranged to be up
early and also had disposed of his
business so as lo have the entire
day free to devote himself -to wel
coming his friends.
Preparations for the ceremonies
were completed last night. Uefore
retiring, the senator spent a few
minutes testing out the amplifiers
which have been installed to carry
his voice to the distant corners of
the amphitheater and also well lip
the mountain sides where many
nre expected to gather.
From every hotel, bathhouse and
office building floated red. white
and htue streamers, among them
several bearing the inscription:
"Our Joe, next vice-president."
Mrs. Hobinson, to whom the sen
ator gives much emdit for his
political success, also had arrnng
ed a program to keep her busy to
virtually the notification hour. She
was up late last nisht welcoming
many of the first arrivals and fi
nally separated herself from a
group of friends In the Arlington
lobby with the remark: "I must
go see that my husband is In bed."
Her program todoy included n
reception being given by the demo
cratic women at Hot Sprincs to
women members of the national
