FRANKLIN 0. ROOSEVELT
REPLIES TO WILL HAYS
Charge Republican Trying to
Make it Appear Democrats
Are Not Good Americans.
3y The Associated Press.)
PORTLAND, Maine, Sep. 11 Charg
ing that the Republicans were trying to
make it appear that Democrats were not
good Americans and preferred an inter
national flag to the Stars and Stripes,
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democratic can
didate for Vice President, replied here
tonight to assertions of Will H. Hays
Republican National chairman, in his
Augusta, Maine, speech hist month.
Referring to the text of Mr. Hays' ad
dress, which was entitled "Under Which
Flag," Mr. Roosevelt said the Re
publican chairman had "offered a de
liberate insult to many millions, probably
the majority of our citirens, and he was,
guilty not only of bad taste but of
poor political judgment.' '
The overwhelming majority of voters,
he said, are iu every way loyal and will
resent any attempt by one group of lead
ers to take out au "exclusive patent"
on our flag. s
"To claim that one party doctrine in
the only American one is to infer that
those who belong to another party faith
are un-American. That sort of cam
paigiug ought not ot be excused even in
the heat of an election. "
Mr. Roosevelt declared he would "be
the first to insist that Republicans, rank
and file, are just as sincerely proud of
our country and our flag as Democrats
are. Mr. Hays and his party differed,
however," he said, "in the big concep
tion of the great purpose -for which our
flag is the symbol."
"The same gentleman has used with
inaccurate, but deliberate earlessness, the
word 'internationalism." With evi
dent design he has sought to convey the
impression that people who believe in the
League of Nations are 'International
ists' in the sense used by certain radi
cal groups who do not believe in nations
at all, or who seek a super-government
in place of true national government.
For political purposes, he would reason
that one who seeks international peace
and international agreements and inter
national justice is thereby an interna
tional ' red. '
"The whole falsity of this position is
shown by asking the simple question of
whether the thirty-seven nations who
have already joined the League of Na
tions have given up their own sover
eignty, their owu constitutional rights,
their own flags f Even Switzerland, most
jealous of independence aad wary of al
liances, has voted by popular referendum
to join the League.
"Long before 1914, Ameriran states
men advocated a League of Nations.
Some, like President Taft, favored one
that frankly called itself a League to
Enforce Peace. Yet he was not called
a traitor or a follower of international
ism. "We have" seen the failure of the
Hague Tribunal to prevent Wars. We
had seen, iAtteed, an increase in wars
and in the preparations for wars. The
other nations were, well aware that the
American flag carried a new message of
hope that it represented a great people
opposed to aggression and willing to
change the existing conditions of mistrust
and competitive armament.
"The" great war came, and America
at last became a party to the struggle.
But we did not join forces for the mere
sake of crushing the Kaiser on the field
of battle. It was not alone Kaiserism
or the Central Powers themselves that
we were fighting. We fought for some
thing constructive, in addition to the
fight against something destructive. Men
and women of all parties united in de
manding yi 1917 that the evil in the
previous relationship between nations
should be in the future removed. Mere
good will would not remove the danger,
mere international courts had been prov
ed a failure. A definite, business-like
concrete association was demanded, some
thing that would prevent the causes of
trouble aad not wait until trouble itself
had come to a head.
"Ia all of this the nation waa united
With this spirit and purpose, our flag

' ' Line From ' Mt. Holly to Le

T Citizens Along; ' the Route
Keenly Interested Accord in:
to General Manager Shipp.
of Newton.
Work on the Blue Ridge Development
Company, the promoters of the proposed
Interurban line 1 from Mt. Holly to
Lenoir is progressing satisfactorily ac
cording to the report of W. T. Shipp,
of Newton, general manager, to the
stockholders. Mr. Shipp 's report as
given in the Catawba News-Enterprise
is as follows:
"I beg to report to you that the work
on our Electric Railroad from Charlotte
to Blowing Rock has been progressing
very satisfactorily since we sent to you
our last report. While we have not been
able to push the survey and outdoor
work to the fullest extent for the last
few days, we have made progress in
other ways. It gave our engineers a
chance to work up their field notes and
get them ui shape for making a final es
timate of our work for making up maps,
profiles, blue prints, etc., all of which
have to be done. While the weather was
good we pushed the out-door work and
left this part of the work for just such a
time as this. We have profiles and maps
completed of thirty miles of our rail
road. We have closed up considerable
right of way contracts since our last
report to you. We have listed the in
coming and outgoing freight of Lenoir,
Hickory and intermediate points and find
it reaching well up into the hundreds of
million of i.ounds annually. We have
secured the assurance that our electric
railroad will get a very substantial and
satisfactory patronage from the business
houses and manufacturing plants of Le
noir, Hudson, Granite Falls and Hickory,
and it is predicted that passenger traf
fic, that our line will get from these
points, will be "something enormous .
"Our proposition is daily growing in
favor with the public. The writer has
gotten letters from public men of the
State tendering their service when dp
sired to help push the electric railroad
along. I was invited by the Commer
cial Club of North Wilkesboro and a
committee of business meu of Jefferson
(Ashe county) to come to Jefferson and
North Wilkesboro to confer with them in
reference to building an electric railroad
from Jefferson to Wiliesbofo, from
Wilkesboro to Taylorsville, from there
connecting with our line at sonic conven
ient point. I found these gentlemen
very enthusiastic over eloctric railroads.
I also found them full of push and ener
gy, just such men who do things. I
find they have kept a tab on the pro-
position and come to the conclusion we
had made a success of onr undertaking,
therefore, they are anxious to join us,
using our line as a main line. They point
out the fact that such a line as ours and
the one they suggest would touch the
terminal of 4 railroads, respectfully the

what shch a combination would mean .

expressed themselves as being very much
gratified to hear that we were going to
give them electric railway transporta

phenomenal success of our undertak

nave to do is to keep pushing, and he

Gentlemen, you have a proposition that
appeals to all alike, one that you should
feel proud of and should never lose an
opportunity of telling those with whom
you come in contact that you are proud

Indications Are That This

Will Hare Excellent Agricul
tural Exhibits.
Many pledges for field crop and live
stock exhibits at the big Gaston County
Fair have bene received by the officials
in chatrge the past week and prospects are
the best yet, according to them. Con
tinuous rainy weather in August threw
a wet blanket on prospects for a tinfe,
but thia has been very much offset by
weather conditions of the past two weeks.
The small grain exhibit will be excel
lent and so will the corn show. These
will lead off the agricultural section in
the east buiding. However, there will be
goodly representation of other crops, too.
Many are now plalnning to enter cattle,
horses and hogs, as well as poultry, and
these departments will be far above aver
age, according to the present outlok.
While in Raleigh attending the recent
agents conference. County Agent C. Lee
Go wan was delegated to look aftr getting

Former County Agent Gray, of Gaston,
has been placed in charge of the fair work

and it is certain that he is going tb see
that Gaston receives first class treatment.
So it is practically assured that all de

WATSON'S NOMINATION.
BLOW TO DEMOCRATS?
NEW YORK, Re-'- 10 Tlle nomina
tion of Thomas E. Watson to succeed
Hoke 8mith as United States senator
from Georgia represents "something of
a blow to the democratic party" Oeorge
White, chairman of the democratic na
tional committee, stated here today while
(fineussing the Southern primary results.
"The fact that Watson has leen nom
inated in Georgia despite his opHsition
to the League of Nations in any form,
constitutes a temporary loss to us," he
said.
"His nomination I believe, resulted
not so much from his attitude on any
national question however, as from the
support accorded him by a large person
al following. It ia my opinion that in
Georgia they nominated Watson, the man,
in the primaries. I do not believe the
nomination expressed tbe view of the
Georgia electrotrate on the League is
sue. "
Mr. White scouted the suggestion that
Georgia might throw any of the weight
of her vote to the republicans through
any dislike of the League of Nations.

TRIE8T, Hep. 10 A socialist revolt
in which barricades were erected in the
streets and artillery, rifles, machine
guns and bombs were freely employed
in a struggle between the rioters and the
military, broke out here' this afternoon.
Italian troops and naval forces, however,
had succeeded by eight o'clock tonight
in completely restoring order. At that '
hour the troops were patrolling the
streets, and a destroyer anchored in the

trenched socialists, while numerous cas
ualties occurred in the socialistic ranks.
As evening approached the military
drew artillery into position and prepar

was delivered, however, Civil Governor
Mosconi sent an ultimatum to the ao-

threat of more drastic measures, and the
rioters tore down their enthronements.
indicating they hud abandoned the
fight, and fell back from the streets . The
carbineers and the royal guards, who
had been stationed in the vicinity of the
hill in the heart of the populous section
which the socialists had held thereupon
