Mr. Robinson

Four nights before the election, Governor Smith remembered something. "All during this campaign," he said, "I have not had an opportunity to say something that I want to say now that I am home, and that is to extend congratulations, great good wishes and heartfelt gratitude to my running mate on the ticket, Joe Robinson of Arkansas. He is a man of extraordinary ability, great capacity and a man of wonderful experience. He has used every bit of the last six weeks working night and day in the interest of the success of the Democratic ticket."

Able, experienced, great-capacitied Senator Robinson spent the last nights and days campaigning arduously in southern Illinois, where his voice could be heard in hard-fought Missouri. He made a side trip, for some reason, across Indiana into arch-Republican Ohio. Then he went home to Arkansas, one State he knew was going Democratic.
