Alabama Republicans also have the privilege for the first time of {holding a State primary election, 'the party having polled more than 25 per cent. of the vote at the last election. Having this right to attract Dem- ocrats who helped to carry the State for Hoover, Virginia Republi- cans formed a coalition with the Anti-Smith organization in 1929. The Democrats won the State elec- tion last November by more than 70,000 majority, one of the largest on record. The General Assembly contains only nine Republicans. in spite of this smashing defeat, Anti- Smith leaders recently joined with Republicans in renominating Con- |gressman Menaleus Lankford of Norfolk in the Second Virvinia Congressional District. Two straight party tickets are ex- pected to be in the field in Ken- jtucky, Tennessee and North Caro- lina, all of which gave their elec- toral votes to President Hoover. It +is expected that the Demo- crats will be unopposed in Missis- sippi, Louislana and South Caro- lina.

Bankers Who Rose from City Room Reveal News Training in Interviews NEW YORK, March 4—It seems a long jump from a newspaper city room to a high place in the realm of finance, but it is the road many have traveled. Pages of the Who's Who of the financial world are replete with names of men who once knew the thrill of scanning the pages of a| freshly printed newspaper and find- | ing what they had written Illustrious names in finance— | Thomas W. Lamont, Frank A. Van- derlip and Francis H. Sisson—head the list of those who wielded power through the printed word as a stepping stone to a domain where dollars rule. Former newspapermen are offi- cers of some of New York's largest banks and quite a few are either members of the New York -stock exchange or executives of member | firms. Some first became acquainted with the machinery of finance financial reporters, Others har- ried city editors of newspapers in | other cities before they came to the | “street.” To some, memories of newspaper |days are fresh. Others who long ago arrived find reminiscences are dimmed by intervening years but their background generally reveals itself in contacts with the press. They still talk the language of | the reporter. Of their number, Mr. \Lamont as a partner of J. P Mor= gan and company probably is the | best known and many New York newspapermen will attest to the |'adroitness he displays in interviews. In addition to Lamont, Vander- ‘lip former president of the Nation- |al City Bank, and Mr. Sisson, viee president of the Guaranty Trust company, other former newspaper=- men who now are officers of banks |are: Guy Emerson, vice president |of the Bankers Trust company; <. | |R.
