Portland, Me-, Sept. 2.-Franklln
d. Roosevelt, Democratic nominee
for vice president, at meeting here
tonight, closing the first of a three
days tour of the state in the inter-
ests, of the party candidates in the
state campaign, told his audience
that "the issue of the league of ma
tions as against no league of nations
or as against some substitute wholly
indefinite will appear clear to the
American people" He deplored
ssblind partisanship" and said ne be-
Iieved it was rapidly disappearing,
Especially now that the women OF
America have been accorded the
franchise"
In afternoon addresses at open air
rallies at Kittery, Old Orchard and
Biddeford, Mr.. Roosevelt said he had
been given ca wonderful reception
in the West. He repeated the de-
mand that Senator Harding leave the
front porch and let the people of the
country see and hear him, and
praised Governor Cox for his great
constructive record"
At Kittery Mr.. Roosevelt was met
by a number Of officers from the
Portsmouth IN. H. navy yard and
by Governor Bartlett of New Hamp-
shire. A large crowd greeted him at
Old Orchard and at the conclusion
s. OF his address he had to force his
way through admirers gathered TO
shake his hand, in order to reach MS
automobile.
Takes Rap at Theodore, Jr.
some of the most unfortunate ef-
fects of political campaigns" Mr.
Roosevelt said in his address tonight,
sis, the tendency on the part OF partl'
san speakers to arrogate to their
own party the credit for everything
good and to assign to the other party
the blame for everything that has
not been satisfactory. say this with
reference to certain type OF
speaker which exists in all parties. II
is exemplifed by some who claim
that one party or the other was re-
sponsible for the winning of the
great war.
81 firmly believe" he continued!
e.that partisan politics is rapidly dis
appearing especially now that the
women Of America have been granted
The franchise. Most men and women
win vote this autumn with the real
izatiop that the question at issue is
the governing Of the United States
during the coming four years.
sThe voters are more apt than eve,
! before to read history thoroughly
They will agree, firmly believe, that
the part of America in the great
war was natural part; that
fi1e war was not won by Democrats
or Republicans, but that when the
crisis came men of all parties joineo
forces with the sole determination OF
bringing the war to victorious con-
: clusion.
etIn line with this, my experience
thus far in the campaign leads me te
state with certainty that the men anc
women who vote in the coming cleo
ton will remember that in the great
war we had a purpose far greater
than that Of mere military victory
that we entered it wit the high mora
spurpose of making recurrence of
worldwide cataclysm impossible. Thl:
is why the issue of the league of ma
tions as against no league Of ma
tions, or as against some substitute
wholly indefinite, will appear clear tx
the American people" )"
