After the call of the States had been conciuded, -unanimous - consent _was given to Mrs. I A. McDougal, national committeewoman. Oklahoma, to second the nomination of Robinson. She was the last speaker and the bal- loting followed with a roll call of the States.

ROBINSON KNOWN AS PARTY WARRIOR His Driving Power Used to Weld Democrats in Senate. BY DONALD A. CRAIG. h Taylor Robinson of Arkansas, nominee for Vice President, omewhat remarkable polit- |ical career won a reputation for being |a fighting Southerner and an acrobatic | speaker. The years he has spent in the | House and Senate, especially since the | responsibility of leading his party on | the floor of the Senate was given to ! him, have made him more discreet, more cautious and taught him to curb a temper that used to flare up at slight { provocation, but they have not taken \away his fighting qualities. He s prob- {ably the most aggressive leader whom In recent years Senator Robinson has become a diplomat as well as a fighter. He has exhibited & soundness of politi- cal judgment and legislative acumen that has won him the admiration of his Democratic colleagues in the Senate and of the party leaders everywhere and the respect of his political oppo- nents.

His record there had no small part in his selection three years later as the Demo- cratic leader in the Senate when Oscar W. Underwood laid down the reins. Still, it was not alone the ability shown at San Francisco that earned Robinson the Senate job. He had gone a long way from the time of his pro- motion from the House. He had made 2 good legislative record: had been ac- | tive in some of the more important fights in the Senate and had won the | unqualified indorsement of Woodrow | Wilson, who, near the end of his life, | declared Robinson to be the “real morai | and intellectual leader” of the Demo- | crats in the Senate.

Bills. ‘The Arkansan, before attaining to the leadership, put through a bill for organization of the Interstate Com Commission, assisted with leg- | islation for creation of the Federal Trade Commission, and had charge of the child labor law, which the Supreme Court subsequently declared unconstitu- | tional. He also had been active in In- dian and military questions, and in 1915, just before this country entered the World War, he was instrumental in the organization of the entire aviation | section of the Signal Corps. | pecially well informed regarding | foreign affairs, his arguments against | the four-power treaty, which Senator | Underwood helped (o frame as an American delegate to the arms confer- | ence, have been among the most memorable of his Senate career. Although he served as his State for -only a very brief space, | his administration was attended by legislative enactments of prime im- | portance, including the corrupt prac- | tices act, the reorganization and reform | of the State banking system, and | enemy; his marked ability as a cam- paign orator, his fearlessness in any situation that calls for intellectual physical combat, have made him a nu~‘ tional figure. Since 1924 he has been | considered one of the “dark horse” pos- | sibilities for the Democratic pr al | nomination. With a thundering voice and a robu physique, Senator Robinson never fai to make an impression when he go into action on the Senate floor. He often charges down on the Republicans as if he would rend them limb from { limb. Tackling him in debate is like tackling a locomotive at full speed. He refuses to be rebuffed. But Robinson | | has learned to retire with grace from a field of battle when he is “licked” and to gather up his forces for another on- slaught. ¥ Since he has been Democratic leader of the Senate, he has sometimes used his stinging tongue to chastise some of his Democratic colleages, who, in his opinion, have strayed from the fold. He has made himself recognized throughout the Nation as a leader who stands for party solidarity. “The Democratic party is bigger than | any man,” he once remarked, with ref- | erence to the rival claims of Gov. Smith and McAdoo which split the party wide open in 1924. In council, Robinson has shown un- expected efficiency. The flery-tempered fighter from Arkansas has surprised some of his calmer colleagues by his effectiveness in smoothing out differ- ences within the party and advancing action upon legislation in Congress, whether in favor of his party or not. For Robinson believes that the majority it chooses to exert its power, and he has been willing to let the majority legislate, after a reasonable time has been given to the minority to record its objections.
