Roosevelt Says Faith
Will Win for Democrats

LOUISVILLE, Oct. l. Speaking
here tonight before a crowd which
packed the tabernacle Franklin D.
Roosevelt predicted success for the
Democratic national ticket this fall
because call of the great moral in
huences in the United States were
overwh elmingly in favor of the League
OF Nations The Republican policy
on the league is based on fear, he said,
while the Democratic policy is based
on faith, land history has shown that
Az appeal to the faith of the American
people has never been in vain"
Mr.. Roosevelt again charged that Re-
publican opposition to the league was
tine result of a conspiracy engineered
by VIII II. Hays, chairman of the Re-
publican National Committee, at Wash :
ington in the spring Of 1919, and that
the Republicans were conducting a
campaign of nsidious propaganda and
Misrepresentation about it."
Polls taken in many localities and
his own talks with clergymen of every
faith in more than thirty states, he
said, show that more than so per cent
of the heads of CHURCHES were in favor
of the United States joining the
league. The same is true. he added
"of the professors and teachers in the
universities, colleges. high and prim-
sry schools-men and women who rep
resent in very true fashion the think
ing clement in our electorate

Here is the difference between our

America to join the Paris league would

HAS LOST HOPE
FOR MAIL STOP
ON WEST ROUTE
Mayor Scanned Sky All Morning
for Trail Finding Ships That
Left Chicago Today.

Mayor Harry NJ. Schriver. was
much disappointed today after
scanning the horizon all morning
in search Of two DeHaviland mail
planes that failed to appear.
The two planes left Chicago at
1853 o'clock this morning at
blaze the trail for the regular mail
service from Chicago to Omaha,
which is to be inaugurated by the
government Jan. 8.
Mayor Schriver has been hoping
for some time that Rock Island
would be given a place on the mail
route. While having knowledge
that the Chicago to Omaha route
was to be opened Jan. s the mayor
did not know that trail finding ma
chimes were to be sent out until
he was notified by The Argus that
the two D. H. As had left Chicago
early this morning.
The mayors hope that Rock Is
land would be made a mail stor
was revived by the news, and he
expected up uut:r spoon today te
hear that the machines had either
landed at the Rock Island arsenal
or at Framing field, south of the
city, which was used by the gov
eminent in the transcontinental all
derby.
Fail To Appear.
However, no machines showed
up, and the mayor said this after
noon that he has little hope thai
this city will get on the mail route
at least for some time. The mayor
believes that the two mail planes
took route over Iowa City to De-
Moines and then to Omaha. How
ever, even if this route is estab
lished the mayor believes that Rocl
Island may still stand a chance Il
obtain aerial mail service in tn
near future.
