Breaking what was supposed to be a convention deadlock. Franklin D. Roosevelt, governor of NewYork. was nominated on the fourth ballot as the Democratic candidate for President. Entering the convention with nearly a two-thirds majority, Roosevelt loomed as the candidate to be named hy the Chicago delegates. With his election as governor of the Empire state four years ago and again in 1930, the NewYork executive was groomed and probably destined to be tile Democratic standard bearer in a year when the trend is towards the party of Jefferson and unmistakably against the Hoover administration and Republican party. Roosevelt's nomination in a year, of depression and general dissatisfaction with existing conditions is almost tantamount to election. With the Democratic sweep' throughout the nation two years ego, forecast of the revolt in the minds of the American people was unequivocally registered. Running on one of the most courageous and truly American platforms ever adopted by the Democrats, the swing of sentiment to put Governor Roosevelt in the White House will not be abated. Indications early today are that Speaker John Garner of the House of Representatives will be Roosevelt's running male and the team will present democracy’s cause to the nation. Unfair criticism that Governor Roosevelt was not a great man was hurled by opponents and quickly seized by an unfriendly Republican press, in what we hope was a friendly political contest to defeat hint. But who is a great man days’ .He lays no claim to being a super-man, but on the other hand is very much human. The country is glad of that because it has had nearly four sorrowful years as a result of having a so-called great engineer in the executive's chair. The nation wants a man who is wholesome, sincere, loyal, and with qualifications for being the chief executive such as Roosevelt possesses Educated for a public career, trained in politics.

The experience Lieutenant -Govi rnor Lehman of New York had in not being recognized at the door io tlie private offices of the Roosevelt forces in Chicago, reminds us , of the story .Mary Roberts Rine- . hart told in a monthly magazine, the incident occurring during the Coolidge administration. The nove- . list upon reaching her apartment in Washington was notified that tlie Vice-President was trying to reach her by 'phone. She hurriedly picked up the receiver and informed the operator she wanted the Vice-President's residence and was aghast when the operator said. Name please.” The story then goes something like this: "1 said the Vice-President's residence, Mr. Dawes.” to which the inquiry "initials please” came humming over the wire. "Why. Charles G. Dawes" replied the writer and after giving his street and telephone number the connection was made. Gordon Selfridge, merchant prince of I ondon, after a visit to this country believes he sees indications of America adopting a dictator form of government.

Ou Cv-vRO His Poosguot, Grid Squad When Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York, whom the Democratic Party ha» chosen to bear its banner in the coming Presidential battle, was five years old his father took him to the White House to visit his old friend. President Grover Cleveland. It is said that on that occasion, President Cleveland, beset with problems similar to those of today, placed his hand on little Franklin's head and said: “I'm going to make a strange wish for you, little man. It is that you'll never be President of the United States.” Only the ballot boxes next November can tell whether that wish is to be realized. But in the event of Roosevelt’s ejection, he will enter the White House with a certain amount of regret, for his new office would not afford him the time he wants to devote to his beloved sports. Since he was a small boy, Roosevelt has had a passion tor yachting and swimming. At 14 he sailed a tiny boat from New York to Halifax, no mean feat even now for a seasoned sailor. He swims daily in the pool at the Executive Mansion in Albany and his home in Warm Springs, Ga., is close to the mineral pools in order that he can take a plunge when he feels like it Roosevelt never went to public school. He had a private tutor who prepared him for entrance to Harvard, whence he was graduated in 1905. He is also a graduate of Columbia Law School. He made his bow in politics in 1910, when he was elected to New York State Senate, from which he retired in 1913 to become Assistant Secretary of the Navy. He was elected Governor of New York in 1928 and his success in that capacity contributed largely to his victory in the recent convention.

Albany N. Y., The larger a man looms in the public eye, the more tptone does the public become to regird him as not altogether humin. We build legends and myths around the personalities of our big men until very little of their true history, their virtues and frailties likes and dislikes is left. Hence a few words about Franklin D. Roosevelt, to whom the Democratic Party has entrusted the task of bearing its standard to victory or defeat, next November, before his admirers and opponents have built up the inevitable walls of legends that hide the real man. Franklin D. Roosevelt was born to the illustrious name of January--20. 1882 at the Roosevelt home in Hyde Park. N. Y. The D. is for Delano. his mother's maiden name. The year he came into the world his fifth cousin the greit “T. R.," was elected for the first time a member of the New York State As sembly. The man who now carries the hopes of the Democratic Party never went to public school, but he had a private tutor who prepared him for entrance to Harvard University from which he was graduated in 1905. He is also a graduate of Columbia Law School, as well as having studied abroad in Germany and Switzerland. There is a sto:y told that when

For Citizenship Development Program of American Legion By GOVERNOR ALBERT C. RITCHIE

A well regulated and disciplined citizen soldiery was the most cherished administrative measure[ of George Washington as President. It was the most important of the recommendations to the Continental Congress which he' was requested to make at the close of the War for Independence. Washington believed the Nation's hope of securing future tranquility, dignity and respectability rested upon a National Defense rooted and grounded in the citizenry of the country. He was thinking of a defensive plan, a plan which would guard our Nation against the calamities of war brought to! us hy an aggressor. In the light of his experience he placed his reliance in no uncertain terms, upon the citizen soldier as the "palladium of our security.” George Washington was a believer in the principle that every, citizen who enjoys the protection of a free government owes a proportion of what he has to that government and should give his personal service when necessary in its defense. It is with regret that I find history records the fact that the Congress failed to enact the laws necessary to bring into licing this defensive plan conceived by Washington and his advisors. For more than a hundred years we floundered like a ship without a rudder, without mililary policy of any kind. Tlie Washington plan was actually lost in the archives of the Congressional Library, where it remained for a century, covered with dust, until finally brought to light and made the basis of our National Defense System. Since the days of Valley Forge a century and a half have passed.

Franklin D. was 5 years old his ■ father took him to the White House 1 to visit his old friend, President Grover Cleveland. It seems that : the job of being President was as difficult in those days as it is at > .present, for President Cleveland is 1 said to have laid his hand cn >ittle Franklin's head a id said: I’m tnak- ■ ing a strange wish for you, little man. A wish no one else would be ■, likely to make. 1 hope you'll never be President of the United States. Whether or not the wish will 1 ever be realized only the billot ; boxes can tell, next November. Governor Roosevelt has had a 1 love for sea since his extreme r youth. When only 14 he sailed a I tiny boat from New York to Halifax - unwittingly Raying in a stock of ex- . perience that was to stand him in II good stead when he later became ’ 'A-?sist-int Secreta y of the Navy in 1 the Cabinet of the late President Wilson. Franklin D. was admitted to the - New Yoik bar in 1907 and made his • first bow in politics in 1910, when he was elected to the State Senate I from which he retired in 1913 to - bcome Assistant Secretary of the ■ navy. In 1920 Roosevelt was the Demos cratic nominee for the Vice-I’resi-dency as ru-nning mate to Gove-nor James Cox of Ohio, but tiie fjtes 1 were against him on that occasion.

hut the principles involved in the question of the defense of the Nation remain the same. History has recorded throughout these years our distressing unpreparedness. with the resulting loss in men and material, all of which is translated into increased public debt and burdensome taxes. In 1920, following the experiences of the World War, the National Congress enacted the present Nation-j al Defense Act. having for its main purpose the proper defense of the Nation and the consequent development of a citizen army. In this legislation, for the first time in the history of our country, the Congress took cognizance of Washington's military plan for defense. In my judgment the present National Defense Act is one of the most constructive pieces of legislation ever placed upon the statute books. There is provided a small Regular Army, necessary for the training of the citizen soldiers for garrisoning our overseas possessions, but the main reliance in a great emergency is placed where it should be, upon the citizens of the nation. The National Guard, the Organized Reserves, the Officers Reserve Corps, the Resei*ve Officers Training Corps and the Civilian Military Training Camps are so placed in the scheme of national defense that they all fit uniquely into the plan, each in its proper sphere, in such a manner as to produce, if intelligently and properly administered, that trained and equipped first line of defense upon which the nation can rely in any emergency. There is nothing militaristic about this set-up. Tn , fact, it is non-militaristic, because it rests upon the citizens them-

During the last P: esidential campaign. Riwisevelt bulked la.ge in the public eye by reason of his spirited fight for Alfred E. Smith, for whom he coined the campaign title "The Happy Warrior." Ironically Smith was the man who did everything in his power to block Roosevelt's nomination. The Democratic standard-bearer became Goveinor of New York in 1929 and his success in that capacity contributed largely to his victory in the recent convention. In private life the Democratic nominee is a very easy man to get along with. He has a keen sense of humor and is found of practical jokes. An enthusiastic swimmer, he goes into the swimming pool at the Executive Mansion in Albany at least once a day. His favorite vacation spot is Warm Springs, Ga. where he has a home near the famows mineral springs. Roosevelt married his Anna Eleanor Roosevelt on St. Patrick's Day, 1905. She is his fifth cousin as well as his wife. T. R. her uncle, gave her away and remarked that he was glad the name was being kept in the family. The Roosevelts have five children. Janies. Anna. Elliot, Franklin D. Jr., and John A. all of whom were active in support of their dad in the recent pie-convention contest.

selves. Some there are in this land, well-meaning perhaps but misguided—who would abolish important features of the prescribed training, but in the light of developments today in the East and elsewhere, our Nation can with safety do little less than is being done. Wholeheartedly I favor peace and believe in economy, but I think it folly to permit ourselves to be misled by those who, under the guise of economy, would eliminate any part of our present small, carefully thought out defense training plan. The Regular Army, the National Guard, the Officers Reserve Corps, the R. O. T. C. and the C. M. T. C. have each a definite place and should be adequately supported. It is with keen appreciation that I note the interest of The American Legion in this subject, and I am glad also to enlist in the cause of proper anti adequate National Defense. — Household Scrapbook -ByROBERTA LEE • Oil Stain Tn remove oil stains from carpets, cover the spot with paste made of fuller's eaith and water and let it remain for 24 hours.

"MURDERc'NIGMTCLUBIAt THE NEW THATCHER COLT DETECTIVE MYSTERY BY ANTHONY ABBOT f AW BY covra Huax jmc. Disrßißirrs>mA:>*e wv/m imp.

SYNOPSIS • Following the receipt of a death threat. Lola Careae. known as “The Night Club Lady”, is mysteriously slain in her penthouse apartment at 3 a. m. New Year's. Dr. Hugh Baldwin reports death due to heart failure. The only clue to the murderer is a medical laboratory specimen box found outside Lola's window. Police Commissioner Thatcher Colt attaches importance to the young man whose photograph is found in Lola’s room, and whose identity Ix>la had refused to reveal beyond his first name. “Basil”. At the mention of “Basil”. Mrs. Carewe, Lola's mother, becomes hysterical. It is known that Lola quarreled with Guy Everett and Vincent Row land, a lawyer, over investments. Eunice, the maid, confesses she was employed by Everett to report the goings on in the apartment. The mystery deepens with the finding of the body of Christine Quires. Imola's guest. Christine had been killed before Lola and her body hidden until an opportune moment arrived for the murderer to place it, soaking wet. in Lola's room. The findings are similar to those in Lola's case except that Christine's neck was bruised after death. Everett, Christine's last escort, claims he left her at the apartment elevator at midnight New Year's Eve. and then went for a ride on the Motor Parkway. alone, arriving home after 3 a. m. Mrs. Carewe informs Colt that Christine lived with a brother. Edgar. in Rochester, and was to receive her inheritance shortly. The Commissioner telephones the Rochester police to get Edward on the phone and wwteh him while the news is broken to him. CHAPTER TWENTY A ” the long-distance conversation ended, the work of the vacuum cleaners was getting underway. Instantly the pent-house of Lola Carewe was filled with a weird sound. At that dark hour the moaning whine, the wheezing drone of those vacuum cleaners operated by two young detectives from Center Street echoed mournfully through the rooms. Every particle of dust in the room where the crime had been done was being garnered into those bloated pouches. Millions of infinite particles were being bagged like so much game for the hunter, treasure dust in the man-hunt Somewhere in the multitudes of particles there might lie. invisible to the naked eye, a vita! clue. To some police detectives the carpet sweeper is a tool as indispensable as the magnifying glass, the tape measure, and the ink of the finger-print man. But District Attorney Dougherty viewed the two machines with a bilious eye “Colt," he exclaimed, with a reproachful glance back over his shoulder. “I didn't know you had gone in for this sort of thing." “Ever hear of it before?” “Oh, I've read about the Viennese police doing something of the kind. But it all seems very faddistic to me. if you don t mind my saying so I don’t believe you can solve crimes by looking at sweepings under a microscope.” “But Mr. Dougherty ” j started to protest. "Any more." insisted the District Attorney, crushing me with a glance, “than I believe you can tell fortunes with tea-leaves.” Colt smMed but did not reply. He went to the telephone and called a Morningside number His conversation was revealing. “Hello. Professor Luckner. 1 am sorry to get you out of bed This is Thatcher Colt. I am engaged on a very mysterious case, and I want to send you some specimen* for analysis Bags of dust — and the clothing of two murdered girls Could you start in right away? j can have them there in an hour . . . Thank you.” As he hung up the receiver, Colt turned to Flynn.

“As soon as ready, send the vacuum cleaner bags and all the clothes of the two girls to the apartment of Morningside Heights. The men need not wait there.” “Right!” • Colt turned away. His dark brows were concentrated in an uni accustomed frown. I saw that some ‘ facet of this double riddle had as- ! sumed immense importance in his ‘eyes. Perhaps it was only guessi work, but I had a hunch that the chief was still preoccupied with the \ problem of those strange markings 'on the neck of Christine Quires. With an abstracted air, he crossed the living-room and passed down the corridor to the foyer and the front door. Dougherty was about |to follow but I motioned to him to remain. Together we stood by the fireplace, smoking cigarettes. “What is he looking for?” rumbled Dougherty out of the corner of his mouth, after five minutes of silence. “The murderer!” I grinned. At that moment, Colt reappeared lin the doorway. His clothing was wet, his black hair tousled. He had | been out on the terrace. His eyes were set in an intent gaze that ' was almost somnambulistic in its complete concentration. Never had I I seen the chief so deeply immersed in a problem. With slow, plodding steps he traversed the living-room ' — and then, suddenly, 1 realized what it was he was doing. He was retracing his own itinerary. just as we had followed Lola [ Carewe hours ago on a tour through [the rooms of the apartment. What was the purpose of this steady retracing of old steps? I watched, fascinated—l had not seen Thatcher Colt in this strange mood before. The persona) challenge, perhaps the very impertinence of these murders, had brought him to a high pitch of determined effort. To the kitchen he went, and from there through room after room. We ■did not follow him, but we could hear him, poking about in closets, and opening boxes and trunks, even lifting windows and trying doors. Finally he came back to us. having completed the circuit and reexamined all the rooms. As he entered the drawing-room. I saw him thrust some large object into the left pocket of his trousers. It made a noticeable bulge. But of this object which he had concealed. Thatcher Colt made no mention at the momenL Instead he held out his right hand, on which lay a long, golden strand of hair—from the head of a woman. “Does that mean anything to you . he asked, his voice brittle unnaturally calm. I saw that he had not looked in vain; he had made discoveries and he considered them important. It is a hair, the color of Chrisha?j” declared Doherty. Where did you find it?" “On the floor—in Lola's room " ““J. how c °uld you find a thing hke this—a thin strand of hair—” Because I knew where to look ” answered Colt grimly. “It was near a window. “A terrace window?” “No Dougherty -one that opens on a stratght drop of twenty-three stones to the street.” Dougherty ran a thick hand [through his mop of red CU rls His blue eyes, bedeviled, rolled unhappily ■ >» But Colt, having turned the strand of hair over to me, was already at the guest-room door, talkiL F L ynn 1 foUnd ,n ?nv *lope, Ptrt the hair m it. marked the envelope and put it in my Leave a good man in charge you go back to Headquart“l shin w “ telling F ’y""I shall be at my home.
