Washington, July 27. —The sud den death of Senator "Joe" Rob inson of Arkansas, deader of the Administration forces in the fac tional battle in the Senate over the President's Supreme Court project resulted in intensifying the differences between the op ponents of the plan and the ad herents of Mr. Roosevelt. The situation precipitated by the Court fight is being livened by old-time political observers to the split in the Republican party which arose in Congress in 1909.

The "Insurgent" movement which began in that year was not so much a revolt against President Taft as against the entire Repub lican party leadership. It resulted in splitting the par ty wide open, bringing Theodore Roosevelt back into political life as a third-party candidate in 1912, on the Progressive or "Bull Moose" ticket, and the election of Woodrow Wilson, the first Dem ocratic presidential victory for twenty years. Robinson Loyal to End Senator Robinson chose the course of political loyalty. Those closest in his confidence say that he did not like the President's court plan, and particularly dis liked the President's failure to consult with him and other lead ers of the Congressional majority before proposing it. But he viewed his obligation as leader of the President's party in the Senate In the traditional American manner, THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA and set out to do the best he could for a measure which was politically expedient. He did not succeed in getting the President to accept the Lo gan-Hatch substitute bill, but that did not lessen the vigor of the Opposition. So Joe Robinson died fighting for a cause in which his heart was not, a loyal party man to the end. There is little doubt that Sena tor Robinson's death can be at tributed in some measure to the deadly Washington climate, which has killed scores of statesmen in the past. The direct cause of his death was heart failure, brought on by his untiring labors in behalf of the Court bill. Senator Cope land of New York, who practiced medicine for* many years and is a sort of consulting physician to the Senate, warned Senator Rob inson, a week before he died, that he was flirting with death. Mr. Robinson was on the verge of collapse when he finished his first speech, opening the debate on the bill. He complained to friends that the heat of Washing ton's summers nearly overcame him, especially the abrupt change from the autumn coolness of the air-conditioned Senate to the stifling atmosphere outside. Washington's Heat Unbearable I There is no escaping the heat in Washington. It is seldom tem pered by dry winds, such as make the heat of the mid-western prair ies bearable, and the nation's cap ital is too far inland to get the sea-breezes which temper the i nights, at least, of coastal cities and make Florida a more comfort able place in summer than Chica go. Washington's climate has often been described as that of a steaming jungle, its swampy tidal) marshes giving off a humidity which makes summet nights al-' most unbearable. Unless one sleeps | in an artificially cooled apartment | there is no escape from the op-' pressive, enervating torridity of the average Washington summer night. In such an atmosphere, men CAMPBELL'S TOMATO SOUP 2 Cans 15c Modern Food Store Phones 89—309 KING OF SWING BMENNY GOODMAN'S "School of I Swing"—*, painless education in syncopated knowledge—is aow be ing heard every Tuesday evening over Colnmbia Broadcasting Sys tem's coast to coast network.

Broadcasts are from Hollywood.' past middle age risk their lives when they undertake such stren uous labors as are involved in a struggle like the one over the Court bill. Many other Senators have been warned, by Senator Copeland and other physicians. That so many of them, on both sides of the controversy, persist in literally taking their lives in their hands in the face of such warn ings, is eloquent testimony to the depths of their convictions and the bitterness and intensity of the struggle. The opposition Senators in the Democratic ranks are keenly aware that this is a battle to the death, politically speaking; and there is reason to believe that the President takes a similar view. One side or the other must win a decisive victory, or the issue of ; control of the party will be mere ly postponed. If the Court bill wins, the Pres ident's control is secure, and its Opponents will have to choose be tween retiring from public life by being read out of the the party, or surrendering on the best terms they can make to preserve their party regularity. They are keen ly aware of the truth of the old adage: "When you strike at a king you must kill him." The President is alive to that, too. He has "got his Dutch up," as one of his close advisers put it, and is fighting with every weap on at his command, for the main terance of his New Deal policies and control of the Democratic party. .The President Believes that the mass of the voters is still on his side, prepared to back him in whatever he proposes and to follow him wherever he leads.
