Central Ohio's Only Jewish Newspaper Reaching Every Home A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER FOR THE JEWISH HOME Devoted to American / and Jezvish Ideals VOL. XV—No. 83 COLUMBUS, OHIO, JULY 29, 1932 Per Year $3.00; Per Copy loc By the Way By David Schwartz That fellow, Jack Schwartz, who is now fighting with John Cjarncr, Demo¬ cratic vice presidential nominee, is no relation of the present wrner, but pri¬ vate sleuths inform mc that he is a Jew¬ ish merchant of Texas ana an old crony of the Speaker of the House. And speaking of the Democratic nomi¬ nees, it so happens that Judge Samuel I. Rosenman, who flew with Roosevelt to Chicago for tbe Convenilon also hails from Texas, although he is'now judg¬ ing and residing in New York, Well, wc once lived in Texas our- selvea. In fact, some day when our biography is written, the biographer will discover that we were once shot at down in Texas^ Its a great state to live and get shot in. Texas has some of the best shooters iri the country and if it were up to us to choose a &tatc' -in which to get shot in, our first choice would be Texas. For one thing, there ia so much space to get shot in down there. It has been estimated that you could put every man in the world in Texas and give Him, I think, a half acre or so. You could put all Palestine in Texas and it would get lost. In fact, there is, as you know, a Palestine in Texas. But there are no Arabs.. ' But returning to this talk of the Dem¬ ocratic presidential nominee, if Roose¬ velt is elected, watch this fellow Rosen- , man. He will get an important appoint¬ ment. That's sure—;whatever it may mean to you and me. And then there is Bernard Baruch. He will come-into glory again. . Did you know that Wilson, offered hJm the Sec-' retaryship of the -Treasury, but that Ba¬ ruch himself turned it down, telling the president that there would be too much of an outcry because of his speculative career on Wall St. ? Roosevelt seems definitely behind Lieu¬ tenant Governor Lehman as his succes¬ sor in Albany. , And did you know that the Lelimans originally came from Ala¬ bama? These iSouthern Jews seem to get all the gravy. Figure it out for , yourself. Rosenman, Lehman, Baruch, (he's froin South Carolina), even Brandeis was born in, Kentucky. Call Sent Out For Zionist State Convention Sep¬ tember 17th Purposes of Forthcoming Conclave Are Announced by Ezra Shapiro, Temporary Chairman On behalf of the provisional commit¬ tee of the Ohio State Zionist Region, wc are Inviting your organization to be rep¬ resented at the Zionist State Convention to be held Saturday evening and Sunday, September 17th and I8th at tbe ballroom of tbe Allcrton Hotel, 13th and Chester, Cleveland, Ohio. The purpose of the Convention bas been formulated as fol¬ lows; I First—To draw twenty-seven Jewish communities of Ohio into active Zionist life; to give these Jews content; to acquaint them with the problems facing oUr people; to kindle in their hearts tbe cherished hopes and aspirations of our ancestors. Secoml—To effect the use of the Re¬ gional Office and headquarters as a Palestine Information Bureau for the purpose of giving information to pros¬ pective settlers and tourists. ) , Thirdi—To organize Zionist work in a regular and systematic manner; to initiate and supervise all Zionist efforts in the State of Ohio. Fourth—To organize and regulate the campaigns for Palestine funds;—The Keren Hayesod and Karen Kayemeth. Fifth—To organize large Zionist Dis¬ tricts, societies, and clubs. I- Sixth—To foster audi promote a Zion¬ ist youth movement by organizing .Young Judca Clubs and encouraging the organ¬ izing of yovmg people's.Zionist clubs. The convention will open with a. sym¬ posium on Zionism, Saturday evening, September 17tli, at the ballroom of the AUcrton Hotel. 13th and Chester, Cleve¬ land, Ohio. The sessions of the con¬ vention will be held all day Sunday, Sep¬ tember 18th, at the Allcrton Hotel, and will conclude with a banquet at the ball¬ room to be addressed by distinguished leaders of the National Zionist move¬ ment. ASK GOVERNMENT IF IT WILL EVOKE EDICT TO SUPPRESS MASS AGITATION AGAINST JEWS And speaking about Brandeis. Did you know that he has an almost forgct- proof memory? Well, it's so. Brandeis has one of the most remarkable' memo¬ ries in tbe country. At Harvard, it was the marvel. And by the way, according to Dean Pound, Brandeis'^ record in scholarship at the Harvard Law School has never been surpassed. BERLIN.—(J. T. A.)—The German government is asked today by the "Jwed- ische Rundschau," organ of the German Zionist Federation whether it plans to use the new edicts to suppress mass agitation against the Jews on the part of the Naxis and other anti-Senictic par- tics. The paper reminds the government of the assurances given to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency on June 5th, that the fights of the Jews would not be in¬ fringed upon as reiterated by Secretary of State Planck. The "Voclkischcr Bcobachtcr" today continuing its attacks upon the Jews and the paper utilizes the birthday of Max Lieberman, internationally known Ger¬ man-Jewish painter. The paper declares : "After the thirty- first of July, we will see other names rep¬ resent German art." It criticizes the Prussian Minister of Education for greeting Liebermann on his 8Dth birth day which occurred on July 20th, as well as the German press for hailing him as the King of German Art, No German government will rule without the Nazis after July 31st, de¬ clared Deputy Gregor Strasser, Nazi chieftain, at a mass meeting last night. Adolph Hitler, Nationalist Socialist leader, expects to become Chancellor of Speaking about the Harvard Law School, they do say that the reason that Frankfurter turned down the Supreme Court appointment is, that there is a general understanding that when the time comes for Pound to retire as Dean, that Frankfurter will succeed him. I find it hard to believe myself, know¬ ing President Loweiris attitude to Jews on the Harvard faculty, but there is the rumor—accept or reject it. Talking about memory, as we were a few paragraphs back, two other Jews whom I have the privilege of having at . least, seen, possessed most remarkable memories. One .was Louis Marshall. Few had better memories than Marshall. Ahd the other is Emma Goldman, the aiiiarchist leader. Emma can read over a couple of stanzas of poetry one time— and then recite them to you. Try that in your parlor,' if you think that is easy. L. F. L, Society's Picnic at Olentangy Park, Sunday Toihorrow, Siindhy, July 31st, is the day; Olentangy Park is the place; and of course tbe event is the annual Ladies^ Free Loan Society picnic and outing. , Mrs. William Cohen 731 S. 18th St;, id, chairman of the affair and has aylier, assistant Mrs. Joe Weiner, 905 S. 22nd St. Mrs. Harry Beckirian is in charge of ticket sales and tickets may be pro¬ cured from her or any Other member of the society. They may he had for .the nomiiial sum of ten cents and entitle the holder to admission to the park and a chance on a valuable' award to be given away as grand prize at 7:30 P, M. oil the park picnic grounds. By pur¬ chasing these tickets from the Ladies Free Loan Society the buyer is helping a truly worthy cause and at the same time gaining admission to the park at no added expense. More^ fun and a better time than ever before is ipromlsed. You are invited to pack your picnic basket an^ hring the childreii and the entire family. You will enjoy Olentangy's many attractions including the Zoo, Aviary filled with lieautiful <birds, swimming, talking pic¬ tures, wrestling matches, playgrounds for the kiddies. At 3 o'clock Dr. Jacob Tarshish will speak in the open air thea¬ ter. The Ladies Free Loan Society will be looking for you tomorrow. Plan to come early and stay late. , You'll have plenty of fun with us, * Speaking about something else alto¬ gether, did you know that Harry Weill, stockbroker, was the first partner that Whelan, United Cigar owner had, hut Weill dropped out; because his lawyer told him the United Cigars would never amount to much? Did you know that the custom of wearing one's hat at prayers does not stem of Palestinian^ but of Babylonian origin? At least,^ there is no record of the practice having origina.ted in Pal¬ estine. Germany within the next few weeks, Deputy Strasser asserted. LONDON.—(J. T. A.)—A number of Jews were injured in Senstiurg, Ea.st Pru-s-sia, and the windows of Jewish bouses shattered, by Nazis, following a row with Communists, declares tlic Daily Express today, in a report from it,s Herlin correspondent. The DiUbreak started when a non- Jewish Communist, seeking escape from N.-izis, fled to a Jewish store and es¬ caped tlirough a back door. Tbe Nazis pursued the Communist through the store and destroyed part of its contents. The Jewish storekeeper was compelled to close the premises. The incident .started an invasion of the Jewish tjuartcr by one hundred and fifty Nazis accompanied by women, girls aud children, who assaulted Jews on the street with the.cries: "Perish Juda;a!" BERLIN.—(J. T. A.)—The Nazis continue their anti-Jewish boycott propa¬ ganda despite the state martial law. The "National Post" which replaces the, suspended "Angriff", today urges the Nazis to make sure which cinemas arc owne<l by the Jews in order to bet¬ ter carry out their boycott propaganda. Friends of Bishop Manning Deny He Is Motivated by Prejudice Against Jews Say He Solicited As Well as Accepted Gifts from Jews for Building^ of Cathedral of St. John Speaking about Jack Schwartz, as we did at the beginning of this dissertation, did you know there are more Schwartzes in the New York telephone directory than Levys? As a Schwartz myself, I fail to aee why so many chose such a moniker, but then why did so many select Goldberg? Right now, I should think Ice-berg would have heen much better. Or think of a person choosing a name like Slomovitz. Did you know that a very orthodox theological seminary recently was sur¬ prised to receive from one of its grad¬ uates the "semicha" it had conferred? The graduate has accepted a Reform pulpit in Chicago. Why he had to send back his "semicha", we don't know—but anyway he did. Did you know that the oldest sports writer in the country is a Jew? None other than Si Goodfriend. He stems back to the days of Charles A. I>ana. Known as the historian of baseball. He tells one about the Jew who joined St. Thomas church. Shortly after he met his friend, Mr. Cohen. "Well," said Mr. Cohen to Mr. Finkle, "I hear you joined the church," "Yes, and its fine," replied Mr, Finkle. (Continued on page 2) Important Events Scheduled By Educational League President Morris Lopper, of the Jewish Educational League of Columhus, an¬ nounces that several, important events of interest to the entire community have been scheduled by the program com¬ mittee .of this progressive local group One of these events will be in the na¬ ture of a debate on birth control;, an¬ other will be a discussion hy a well- known local traveler of his observations in the Holy Land and other Oriental countries; another event will feature a symposium on the 'principles atid pur¬ poses of the various political parties of the United States. Further details; regarding these events as well as other affairs being arranged for the coming season hy the Jewish Educational League will be found in the forthcoming issues of the Ohio Jewish Chronicle. NEW YORK —Friends of Bishop William T. Manning, in his absence from the city, declare tbe charges against him to the effect that he stated he does not want Jews in his. churches, by Dr. Edward S. Cowles, director of the ousted Body and Soul CHniic of St. Mark's Church in the Bouwerie, are unwar- rantwl, according to tbe Evening Podt., Friend's of tbe Eisbbp, according to the same paper, point to the fact that he has solicited as well as accepted substantial gifts from Jews for the building, of the Cathedral of, St. John the Divine and had served on committees for the same i purpose. - -' The Evening Post says: "The com¬ ments of Bishop Manning on cathedral gifts show no evidence of racial feeling. When Mortimer J. Schiff gave .$25,000, the Bishop said: T especially appreciate this gift for it illustrates the spirit of fellowship and good will which should prevail in this city and throughout our broad land.'" The late Colonel Friedsam sent a gift of $50,000 from the Altman Foundation and praised the project, saying "there need be no question of creed in support- it^ it." Colonel .Friedsam seryedi as chairman of the department stores cam¬ paign commiittee for the cathedral, . Adolph S. Ochs, pufelisher ot the New York Times made generous gifts to the fund and served as, well on its commit¬ tees. Trustees of Congregation Beth Elojiim, of which Meier Steinbrink is president, sent $500. Rabbi Stephen S. Wise pledged aid to the fund at a cainpaign dinner. Otto H. Kahn served on an honorary com¬ mittee; Ralph Pulitzei; was chairman of a newspaper committee; David Sar- noff headed a radio committee; a the¬ atre committee included Morris Cest, M-arcHs Lofew, A. H. Woods, Arthur Hammerstein, J. J. Shubert and A.' L. Erlanger, says the Evening Post in ¦showinc" how Jews aided the building fund. Eddie Cantor and Roger Wolfe Kahn were among a nntdier of Jews who participated in a benefit for the Cathedral, it also points ont. A. Z. A. Notes The Columbus Chapter of A. Z. A. defeated the Dayton Chapter by an over¬ whelming majority of 14 to L The Co- hmvbus Mound Ace, Si Cohen, allowed but four hits. Morrey Maggied^ sparkled at tbe plate for the local team, hitting two home runs, a double and' three singles in six attempts at bat. All of the Colum¬ 'bus team played a heads-up ball game undier the direction of their temporary coach. Si Kahn. The game was played July 24th, at River View Park, Dayton. A return game will be played in Colum¬ bus within a few weeks. Aleph Godol^ Irving M. Gertner, gave a very interesting account of the hap¬ penings at the 7tb international A, Z.

A. meeting, Tuesday eve¬ ning, August 2nd, at 8 o'clock, at the Schonthal Center. Refreshnients fwill be served. Secret Ritual Services will be held. Sokolow Says World Jewry Must Be Prepared For the Expulsion of German Jews Forecasts Greater Hardships for Ger¬ man Jewry; Urges Discussing Set¬ tling of German Jewa in Palestine LONDON.—CJ. T. A.)~A dark pic¬ ture of the future of Jews in Germany as he sees it is painted by Nahum Soko¬ low, president of the World Zionist Or¬ ganization and the Jewish Agency for. Palestine, in an article which appears today in "Ha'Olam,'' The leader of World Zionism terms the Prussian Confiscation Law the great est historical outrage, and says it is but t!ie beginning of further hardships and diOicultics in store for German Jewry. The Jewish world, he states, must be prepared for the possibility of the expul¬ sion of all Jews from Germany. This IB a problem with which the elected.rep¬ resentatives of World Jewry must now deal. They must discuss the problem of settling at least a part of them in Palestine. Dr. Sokolow expresses regret that the Jewish press has not adopted a proper criterion for measuring the seriousness of the situation. He points,out, while tbe present Confiscation Law is directed only against East European. Jews, 95% of American Jewry as well as ,80% of West European Jewry originates in East Europe, If the measure is confined to East Eurbpean. Jews, it is only because of fear of the stronger governments ot Western Europe. Dr. Sokolow declared. Sixth Jewish Candidate Is Elected to Parliament in Roumanian Elections Likelihood Other Jews May Yet Win Seats; Re-election of Chief Rabbi Niemirower to Senate Assured BUCHAREST—(J. T. A.)-A sixth Jew has been elected to the Roumanian Parliament and is a National Zaranist candidate, it was learned today. The new Jewish deputy is Aureliu Weiss, president of the B'nai B'rith in Bucharest. Several other Jews may yet find they have been elected to parliament by vari¬ ous parties, it was indicated today. The elections to the Senate will insure the re-election of Chief Rabbi Niemi- rower as representative of the Jewish faith in addition to Max Auschnit, who is the unopposed candidate of the govern¬ ment party. The Jewish Senator, Dinnerman, at the last moment, announced that he would not be a candidate for re-election.

A.)—The Jewish dean of the Commercial High School in Berlin, Morhz JtiHus Bonn, was today elected to serve for a second term. Editorials Laud Lieut.-Gov. Lehman as Candidate For Governor of New York Praise Activity in Jewish Life and Exemplary Record During Period of Office Lieutenant-Governor Herbert H, r.-cl1- man is highly lauded as the probable nominee for the governorsliip of New York iu editorials which appear in the "Jewish Exponent" of Philadelphia and "Opinion." The papers praise Colonel Lehman's Acrvices toward Jewish causes aiid his exemplary record in office. The "Jewish Exponent" of Philadel¬ phia states: "For Governor of New York Lieuten¬ ant-Governor Herbert H. Lehman 1 Unless all present indications go awry this should be the headline in the news¬ papers some day in the not distant future. Rarely lias an individual so endeared himself to the hearts of his fellow- citizens as in his case. Holding a posi¬ tion of prime political importance, he discharged all the duties involved, and considerably more, without at any time resorting to those questionable tactics and policies usually referred to as politics. At no time since his election to ofiice has he been daubed a politician, Some¬ how no one thinks of Him in this light. Doubtless this attitude will continue even after he becomes Governor of the largest and most influential State in the Union. For Lieutenant-Governor Lehman is absolutely lacking in those characteristics that are of the essence of the present day politician. 'in its leading editorial last Saturday the New York Times said: 'Mr. Leh¬ man is a man who, without fuss or false pretenses of any kiiid, has for three years been applying his busiiiess ability to tbe affairs of this State. ... It is safe to say that not one of the men talked of as a rival of Mr. Lehman has more than a small fraction of his com¬ prehensive knowledge of the busines.s and the needs of the state of New York. In his. quiet and friendly and exceedingly practical way, without oratorical flour¬ ishes or the customary humbugging meth¬ ods of politicians, Mr. Lehman has made himself known and valued as an un¬ usually fine example of the business man in politics.' Men of his type are rare: in the political world they are most un¬ usual. "At this writing it would: seem that his nomination is assured. The sr|uav.-k,=; here, and there doubtless will^lie, drowned in the loud overwhelmmg chorus of approval. Nor is it likely that the religious issue will be raised. Mr. Lehman's rise politically, the high esteem in which he is held, has come solely afi a result of his unique person¬ ality and because of the splendid account he has given of himself in the past three years in which he has held public office. A distinguished member of the American Jewish community with an extraordinary record of service extending oyer many yearsi he has not permitted his Jewish interests or his Jewish affiliations to be involved iii his governmental duties. For Lehman is of the firm conviction that religion and politics should not be com¬ bined. When elected, Mr. Lehman will be an ideal Govei-nor of New York State. Tbe Jews of America are pleased to count him among- their own," "Opinion" writes: Governor Lehman's Nomination "Many of those who deplore as well as those who approve the nomination of Governor Roosevelt as the presidential candidate of the Democratic party are united in their -satisfaction that his selec¬ tion opens the way for the nofnjnation of Lieutenant Governor' Herbert H. Leh¬ man as Governor of New York. For Governor Lehman bas won the respect and the admiration not only of the citi¬ zens of the State for' his record in an office in which, by the force of charac¬ ter and exceptional effort he lent unusual distinction, but he has achieved the even greater miracle of winning high praise from his political opponents, tlie Repub¬ lican niembers of the New York State Legislature over which he presided. "In view of these facts the New York State Democratic Party; hostile as it has so frequently been to candidates of independence and integrity within its ranks, will be compelled by public opin' ion to select Governor Lehman as its standard bearer. That there will be misgivings and fears in the breast of many a Tammany delegate to the New York State convention we have no doubt. The Wilsons, the Hugheses, the Roose- velts (Theodore should there be any confusion as to given names), have never been persona grata to the political bosses of either party, Biit they and theii- selection for high ofiice have been, among the compensations for the short¬ comings of democracy and there are an increasing number of Americans of both parties who have determined that such public servants as do not bow the head nor bend the knee to intimidation, eco¬ nomic or political, shall not be pro¬ scribed against no matter what the ex¬ cuse by the machines of either party. It is this determination which seems to assure tbe voters of the State of New York of having at least one candidate associated with a major party, worthy of their suffrage in November." As I See It By A. M. N. Another Jew who has won the plaudhs of thousands by his splendid qualities of heart and mind as well as by bis manifold activities of a humanitarian nature is Louis J. Borinstein of Indianapolis. Last week he played a prominent part at the meeting held in Chicago of the Na¬ tional Organization to Reduce Public ¦Expenditures. Plans were made at this meeting to sound out all candidate.^ for Congress with regard to their stand in the matter of reducing the expense of government, those who do not come out for drastic reduction to be opposed by the organiza¬ tion at the polls. Mr; Borinstein is president of the In- ¦ dianapolis Chamber of Commerce and seirved as director of.President Hoover's anti-hoarding drive in Marion County, Indiana. He is chairman of the Wider Scope Commission of the B'nai B'rith and has rendered effective service on a number of occasions as chairman of Joint Distribution campaigns in his , community and state. Iu the cfTortg now being made to mobilize tbe business leaders of the country in a fight on ¦ex¬ travagance iu public expenditures, none can be counted upon to get the desired resiilts more than this highly respected Indianapolis commercial and communal leader. Bravo, Brother Borinstein! Your services are being highly appre¬ ciated and they are reflecting credit upon all your co-religionists. Members of the Columbus Section, Council of Jewish Women will be glad to hear that Mr:^. Mary G. Schonberg of New York City has been appointed executive secretary of the National Coun¬ cil of Jewish Women succeeding Estelle M. Sternberger .who resigned after fill¬ ing the plfice for many years, . Mrs. Schonberg bas gained familiarity with a multitude of social and economic prob¬ lems, particularly those affecting the welfare of women and children during twenty-five years of active identifi¬ cation with a number ot governmental and civic groups. Her appointment has met with the approval and commendation of C. J. W. leaders throughout the land. Honorable David E. ICaufman, United States Minister to Siam, nas arrived at his home in Towanda, Pennsylvania, for a two months visit. His acay in the lit¬ tle known diminutive land which-recently has been giving proof of-its progressives spirit by shearing its ruler of his auto¬ cratic powers has made him a warm admirer of the country and has impressed him with its economic and .commercial possiftilitics. This is the second time he has left his oflicial post to visit his home country; returning previously during the American tour of Siam's ruling heads which was undertaken at, bis suggestion. Before representing his country at the (Siamese Court, Mr, Kaufman served with distinction as American Minister to Bolivia where as at his present post he , established himself as decidedly persona grata. Siam, he says, will be the first Oriental comity to attain economic re¬ covery; and as a rule. Mr. Kaufman knows whereof he speaks. At least the present writer has that confidence in him. "GRAPES OF CANAAN" TO BE TRANSLATED INTO SWEDISH "Grapes of Canaan" by Elma Ehrlich Levinger, is shortly to be translated into Swedish, Mrs. Levinger has just ac¬ cepted an offer to that effect. She will now have the pleasure of seeing her writings in four foreign languages, as various of them have appeared in He¬ brew, Yiddish and German. Arthur Brin, of Minneapolis, promi¬ nent in the work of the B'nai B'rith for many years and an outstanding leader in his community, was elected second vice- president of District No, 0 at its G4th annual convention recently held in Mil¬ waukee. He is therefore next in suc¬ cession for the district presidency to As¬ sistant Corporation Counsel Joseph F. Grossman of Chicago who was elected first vice-president. Mr. Brin played a leading part in the preparations for this year's convention in St. Paul a year ago. He is a past president of the Minnea¬ polis Lodge No. 271 and heads the Jew¬ ish Federation of Minneapolis. Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, the undaunted proponent of Jewish World Conference in Geneva, Switzerland, August 14th, is now in a position to give the He to the charge, made by intrenched leaders and organizations here and abroad, that the conference will not be representative. Eighteen countries including the United States, it vras reported at a meeting of the Administrative Committee of the American Jewish Congress held last week, have I already elected delegates. These countries are, Austria, Bulgaria, Czecho-Slovakia, England, Esthonia, Ger¬ many, France, Greece, Italy,. Latvia, Lithuania, Palestine, Poland, Roumania, Spain, Switzerlatidi and Jugoslavia. A number of additional countries, especially in Soiith America and South Africa, are expected to be heard from regarding active participation. Last Monday night, at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York, tbe members of the American Delegation who have not already left for Europe, were tendered a reception by the oiTicers of tbe Administrative Committee of the American Jewish Con¬ gress. Minister of Justice Schmidt, a Catholic leader, was recently attacked during a session of the Prussian Diet when he aroused the Nazis by reading an open letter from the Presidtnt of the Ger¬ man Association of Lawyers, Dix, branding the Nazis for attacking Jewish lawyers. Minister Schmidt associated himself with the stand of Dix, where¬ upon the Nazis attempted to strike him. The session was temporarily suspended following the incident. The Palestine Jewish National Coun¬ cil will send a delegation to attend the World Jewish Conference i» Geneva, August 14th. The delegation will in¬ clude Rabbi Meyer Berlin, Joseph Sprtnzak and Elthu Berlin. HAVE YOU DONE YOUR DUTY TOWARDS THE 1932 UNITED FUND OF COLUMBUS?

Per Year $3.00; Per Copy loc
By the Way By David Schwartz
That fellow, Jack Schwartz, who is now fighting with John Cjarncr, Demo¬ cratic vice presidential nominee, is no relation of the present wrner, but pri¬ vate sleuths inform mc that he is a Jew¬ ish merchant of Texas ana an old crony of the Speaker of the House.
And speaking of the Democratic nomi¬ nees, it so happens that Judge Samuel I. Rosenman, who flew with Roosevelt to Chicago for tbe Convenilon also hails from Texas, although he is'now judg¬ ing and residing in New York,
Well, wc once lived in Texas our- selvea. In fact, some day when our biography is written, the biographer will discover that we were once shot at down in Texas^ Its a great state to live and get shot in. Texas has some of the best shooters iri the country and if it were up to us to choose a &tatc' -in which to get shot in, our first choice would be Texas.
For one thing, there ia so much space to get shot in down there. It has been estimated that you could put every man in the world in Texas and give Him, I think, a half acre or so. You could put all Palestine in Texas and it would get lost. In fact, there is, as you know, a Palestine in Texas. But there are no Arabs..
' But returning to this talk of the Dem¬ ocratic presidential nominee, if Roose¬ velt is elected, watch this fellow Rosen- , man. He will get an important appoint¬ ment. That's sure—;whatever it may mean to you and me.
And then there is Bernard Baruch. He will come-into glory again. . Did you know that Wilson, offered hJm the Sec-' retaryship of the -Treasury, but that Ba¬ ruch himself turned it down, telling the president that there would be too much of an outcry because of his speculative career on Wall St. ?
Roosevelt seems definitely behind Lieu¬ tenant Governor Lehman as his succes¬ sor in Albany. , And did you know that the Lelimans originally came from Ala¬ bama? These iSouthern Jews seem to get all the gravy. Figure it out for , yourself. Rosenman, Lehman, Baruch, (he's froin South Carolina), even Brandeis was born in, Kentucky.

And speaking about Brandeis. Did you know that he has an almost forgct- proof memory? Well, it's so. Brandeis has one of the most remarkable' memo¬ ries in tbe country. At Harvard, it was the marvel.

Few had better memories than Marshall. Ahd the other is Emma Goldman, the aiiiarchist leader. Emma can read over a couple of stanzas of poetry one time— and then recite them to you.
