Rising just before sundown in Cleveland's huge Municipal Stadium, freckle-faced, stubble-chinned William Lemke addressed himself not only to some 70,000 empty seats and 5,000 Townsendites, but to every malcontent in the land.

Dr. Henry Buck Master, 64, secretary of the Presbyterian Board of Pensions since 1919. A portly, florid Princeton man (1895) who held pastorates in Buffalo and Fort Wayne, Ind. and went to War as a stretcher-bearer, Dr. Master lives affluently on Philadelphia's Main Line, attends the swankest Presbyterian Church, at Bryn Mawr.
