Suffrage Holds Advantage In Tennessee
ARMY, NAVY FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE,P PACIFIC
COAST BASES PROPOSED BY MIR. ROOSEVELT

Seattle, Aug. 2O.-Mainten-
ance of an army and navy wholly
adequate for the national de-
fense, improvement Of existing
naval shore facilities on the Pa
cific coast and acceptance of the
League of Nations as a solution
Of the problem Of competitive
armaments among the nations
of the world, were urged by
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Demo-
cratic vice presidential candi-
date in an address here Friday
night.
II am not miltarist' Mr.. Roosevelt
said. There are very few of our fell
low citizens who are but the great major
ity of them will agree with me in the
demand that the United States shall
maintain at all time an army aud navy
wholly adequate for national defense.
That is the starting point. The result
ing question arises: What is an ade-
quate army or navy?
Our navy. for instance, is at the
present time IN second place. 1t is very
nearly equal to the navy of Great
Britain. 1t is more powerful than the
navy Of France or Of Japan.
Let US examine tue future We have
three courses open.
'The first is to reduce our army and
navy without regard to what the other
nations of the world are doing. / feel
certain that the people of this country
will never stand for the danger that that
involves
The second is: We may return to
the old pre-war condition of competitive
building between the great nations. That
will mean an increase in the already
enormous cost which We are sustaining.
The third alternative is the League
Of Nations itself The primary purpose
of that league is antIwar, and one of its
first duties will be the limitation Of in
ternational armamcnts. / have no doubt
that If the great powers meet around the
table = they will be able to reach
an agreement by which a fair relative
ratio of the different armies and navies
in the world can he worked out. Under
this ratio the United States and Great
Britain would undoubtedly have nayies
superior 10 those of any other powers,
but the point is that the size Of those
nayies-the size of all nayies would be
materially redacad
Even if our fleet we're generally re
duced in size. under an international
agreement by the League Of Nations. We
shall still have TO improve the naval
facilities for taking care of the fleet on
the Pacific coast With the existing size
of our fleet, we know from the expert
ence Of having half our fleet in the Pa
cific at this time that our shore faeili-
ties at Puget Sound at San Francisco
bay and in southern California are " Wh0lly
inadequate. This is simple matter of
common sense.
1t has been a Democratic administra-
ton which has recognized your needs and
the national needs on the Pacific It
will be another Democratic adminlstra
tion which will carry out the splendid
work already begun

Phenomenal pole vaultnlg by h. ia
Foss, Chicago A. A. which broke all
existing records. and a brilliant distance
race by four runners, in which the
French marvel Guillemot went down TO
defeat, furnished the thrills for the
10000 spectators at the sixth day Of
the Olympic games. The performances
fn both these events were exceptionally
praiseworthy, in view Of the rain and
cold.
The dag was ending with a brilliant
sunset but with November-lke temper

star vaulted over the bar which had
been placed at the height of IL feet 5hs

2A inches Foss already was the winner
of the first place for the United States
IA the pole vault. but he was urged to 60
on and break the Olympic record: This
he did and then, after a consultation by
the officials, the bar was set at the top
height SO that Foss might have q chance
to exceed the worlds record. When the
height of the cross bar was announced
n hush fell over the spectators
Twice Foss essayed his task and failed.
Then. after long rest and with all the
spectators tense, he took an e1ceptlon-
ally long run and q terrific leap, sailed
inward and curved his body over the
bar like the letter u, snapped the pole
backward and dropped amid great
splash Of sawdust into the pit on the
other side.
The crowds in the stadium yelled
themselves hoarse as the feat was &C
colnplished, while Foss' teammates lift
ed him on their shoulders and marched
around.
There was scarcely less enthusiasm

at Washington.
Some parliamentarians, including At
torncy General Thompson, contended
that Fridays action was final. Others,
including suffrage adherents, took an
opposite view.
When the house met, Speaker Walker
was in a position to move re-consldera-
ton of the amendment having changed
his vote to AYE" for that purpose. Under
house rules he could make that motion
at any time in the next two days sue
ceeding the vote Friday was the second
day.
Attorney General Thompson contended
that Walkers failure to act settled the
question of consideration and that
the resolution now was ready for en-
crossing and certification to Washing
ton. Others, however, maintained that
the motion stood on the journal as a
matter of record and Enacted upon and
that to remove all doubt it must be
disposed of.
1t was with this objection in view
that the suffragists, by a vote Of ~ to
Al. defeated a motion of the opposition
to adjourn until Monday afternoon for
the uusual week end recess and then
forced adjournment only until Saturday
morning.
Seldom has either house met on Sat
urday Action on the Walker motion was
planned soon as the order of business
would permit.
Mr. Walker Thursday night declared
he had enough votes pledges to force
reconsideration but when he moved to-
day for adjournment until Monday 1t
was taken as an indication that he was
uncertain of his position. The vote con
firmed this supposition.
Walker, however, still had a chance
to win on the vote planned for Saturday
on his motion for consideration, should
he persuade ct least two suffragists to
desert their leaders Suffragists, how
ever, did not fear break in their ranks
and were confident they would dispose
Of the Walker motion, either defeating
it or sending 1t to the table.
