His long legislative experience, his cam paigning ability, and his popularity among the various fac tions of the party make'him an excellent choice as President Truman’s running mate^ ( f His service in Congress has made him a most capable statesman. For 11 of his 35 years In Congress he has been the Senate Democratic leader. Taking office at the first in auguration of Woodrow Wilson, He has seen at first hand the effects of the roaring twenties, the subsequent depressioh, and recovery under the New De^l. He has attended Demo cratic Conventions since 1920, going as keynoter in 1932 and 1936 and permanent chairman in 1940. Often called the oratorical “iron man” Barkley has made as many as 40 speeches in <; ne day. His eloquent phra ses and smooth delivery make mim'one of the ablest cam paigners the Democrats can offer. | One has only to look at the response to the Monday night address to see that Barkley has appeal to nearly all groups. Here’s a local item which should cause some interest. Wjs all know how much trouble visiting firemen have in finding their way about our unmarked campus, but the clinch er came when a female newcomer to the school set out to find Goodwin Hall recently (although why she would want to find ine place this reporter will never understand).
