Bv GEORGE D. MANN

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 7.-Democ-
racy is not so militant as you work
toward the border states Of Ten
nessee and Kentucky. These COM
monwealths are political battle
grounds in the campaign and are
termed doubtful by Democratic as
we'll as Republican leaders.
Here in Tennessee where they
close things up tight on Sunday and
have q law preventing the teaching
Of evolution in the schools and col
leges, the prohibition and religious
issues are playing a very potent part
in the presidential campaign. Many
pulpits have been given over frankly
to a discussion Of issues, principally
the liquor plank as voiced by Gov
ernor Smith.
Hoover's Visit
Yesterday Herbert Hoover came
to Tennessee and spoke to q great
crowd at Elizabethon. The Hoover
party returned to Washington
pleased with the reception and the
reports of the progress Of the Hoov-
er campaign in the state made fam
Gus by "Old Hickory" and the mon
key trial not so many moons age
at Dayton, Tenn, when the funda.
mentalists engaged the services Of
the late William Jennings Bryan tc

teaching Of the Darwinian theory.

(By The Associated Press)

Far out over the Atlantic, the
dirigibl e Graf Zeppelin was west
Of the Island Of Madeira this after
noon and headed for the United
States over southerly course that
probably will carry her past Ber-
muda.
Thirty and half hours out of
Friedrichshafen, the huge air liner
passed over the city Of Funchal on
the Island of Madeira with a good
5000 miles to travel before hitting
the American coast. At 1890 a. m.
eastern standard time the steamship
Euclid reported the Graf Zeppelin
about 60 miles west of Madeira.
After passing Gibraltar early this
morning, the big ship which had
planned to head for the Azores, be-
tgan to swing southwark to- svoid
strong headwinds and DR.. Eckenar
notified the Zeppelin station at
Friedrichshafen that he planned IT,
strike Laliehurst, N. j., by way OF
Bermuda.

OCEAN STORM BREWING

London, Oct. 12.- R An Ex-
change Telegraph dispatch from
Paris late today said that advices
had been received from Ponta Del
gada stating that the Graf Zeppe-
lin passed the Azores this evening.
No direct advices had been re-
ceived from the Azores at 3:45 b. m.,
eastern standard time, reporting the
passage of the Graf Zeppelin. The
Azores are approximately 600 miles
from Madeira, which the Graf Zep-
pelin passed over at $50 a. m., east
ern standard time. With favorable
winds the Zeppelin could cover the
distance in eight hours at Is miles
and hour, but in view of the con-
trary winds which the ship has been
encountering this appears somewhat
doubtful.

New York, Oct. 12.-(P)-Graf
Zeppelin, first transatlantic air liner,
today was out over the Atlantic, her
nose pointed to the United States on
3,70O-mile jump across the water,
after trip Of 1,2OO miles mostly
over land.
Expectations at the ships des-
tination, the United States naval
air station at Lakehurst, N. j., are
that she will arrive Sunday noon.
Four years ago today another air
giant, the Los Angeles, left Fried
richshafen, Germany, and was off
the southeast coast Of Nova Scotia
at midnight on October Ia, 1924, but
as q more southerly route was
mapped out for the Graf Zeppelin,
it was thought that her first land
fall might be either the Massachu-
sets islands of Nantucket or Mar
tha's Vineyard, or the Long Island
shore, some time Sunday.
Passengers today had their first
experience at breakfasting in the
air-unless they were too airsick to
eat. The menu was coffee, tea,
bread, butter, and eggs or sausage.
The 20 persons lucky enough to
obtain passage on the air liner, some
Of them at a fare of $4,000, viewed
from the air the lights of cities on
the Spanish Mediterranean coast as
the airship passed over them during
the early hours Of the night at a
speed of about so miles an hour.
They slept in the 10 cabins which
line the gangway Of the ship, five
on each side. Each cabin was
equipped with two berths, the upper
one being a hammock.
| Aboard the largest dirigible are so
persons in all, the greatest number
ever to cross the Atlantic by air.

FEDERAL HIGHWAY
AID IS CONTINUED
Minnesota to Continue Receiving
Over $2,O0O,O0O Per Year
for Road Construction.

Approval by President Coolidge of
the bill authorizing an appropriation
of $75,00O,000 federal aid for high
ways for each of the fiscal years of
1880 and 1881, assures continuation of
the federal aid which Minnesota has
been receiving for several years past.
Minnesota will probably receive ap-
proximately the same amounts as in
the present biennium, the allotment
for 1928 being $2,112.595. Total al
lotments made to Minnesota from
1917 to 1918 were $21, ,7O4,375.
In addition to the appropriation
for main highways the bill also car
ries $7,5OO,0OO annually for building
forest roads and trails. Minnesota
receives comparatively small amounts
of this.
Making the appropriations two
years in advance allows the U. S. Bur-
eau of Public Roads and the state
departments time to outline their con-
struction programs in advance and
have plans ready so that work can
proceed rs rapidly as funds are avail
able.
That federal highway aid is now
an established policy is indicated by
the fact that there was less opposi-
tion to the appropriation in Congress
than ct previous sessions. .-.

JUNIOR TEAM Wins
IN FIRST ATTEMPT
Defeat All Club by a 30 to 6
Count. Regular Schedule
to be Followed.

The Junior baseball team sponsored
by the Melvin Daskam post of the
American Legion officially opened its
season with a one-sided victory over
the All Club team by 80 to 6 count.
The game was held at the Fair
Grounds diamond last Tuesday morn
ing in conjunction with the Redwood
County Farm Bureau picnic.
Showing unusually good baseball
skill and sense the juniors had an
easy time with their larger oppon-
ents with Jaehning, Whiting and
Stitz each doing share of the hurl-
ing. Ward Cuff, sensational Junior
high school athlete, displayed rare
judgment in covering the short stop
position. The team as a whole play
ed well and much may be expected
from them as the season progresses.
Fourteen new suits were purchas-
ed by the Legion for the team, and
will probably be worn the first time
in a regular schedule game when the
locals meet the Olivia team some time
next week.
The Legion post is also sponsoring
a Junior baseball team in Morton
since the Legion there has given up
it's charter. A game between the two
teams will be played sometime in the
near future. Schedule games will, in
all probability, be booked for $3.50
p. m. so that proper support may be
given the enterprise.
The lineup of the local team is as
follows: Pitchers, Jaehning, Whit
ing and Stitz; catcher, Helm; 1st base,
Zuelke; End base, Buchanan; short
stop, Cuff; 3rd base, Tom Finn; field
ers, John Finn, Wyman Corbett and
