The Auditorium was selected be cause of its ability to accommodate members of the legal profession, law students, high school debaters and others, Mr. Darrow has been a persistent opponent of the death penalty for - |crime during his 46 years as a prac- ticing lawyer, his holding being thaf the State, which is set up by indi- vidual human belngs, hes no more moral right to take life than the indi- vidual being who represents a com- ponent part of the State. Senator Stanley achieved wide dis- tinction as an orator in the Senate, where his abundance of wit, epigram- matic punch and qualifications as a word painter caused him to be placed among the leglslative shock troops of the Democratic forces. Capital punishment is not new to him as a practical idea, for he listen- ed to many brilllant pleas for executive clemency as Governor of Kentucky some years ago, and he has participated both as defense counsel and prosecutor in historic Southern legal battles. The same rules which governed the debate between Mr. Darrow and Judge Alfred J. Talley of the New York Supreme Court under the League for Public Discussion at Town Hall will be in vogue for this debate. The presiding officer and judges for the debate will be announced later. U.
