Due to arrive from Chicago on
his special train at p. M, the
Democratic nominee will be escorted
behind band and drum corps to

The big dirigible will be tied
up Wednesday night at the
army balloon school near Belle
vile, Ill, and Thursday will
sail for Chicago and Detroit.
Other cities included on the
itinerary are Toledo, Cleveland,
Akron, o., and Pittsburgh, Pa.
City and state officials, who sew
eral days ago sent kilograms Of in~
vitation to Commander Eckener to
fly over Indianapolis, were enthusi-
aStic that the invitations had been
accepted.
They included Mayor L. Ert
Slack, Pliny H. Wolfard, secretary
of Governor Ed jackson, who was
out of the city the day the tele-
grams were sent; Albert M. Gloss
brenner, municipal airport finance
committee chairman, and William

Plan More Sea Trips
"The visit of the Graf Zeppelin
will be great day for Indianapolis"
Slack said. 'I am sure our fellow
citizens will need no urging to pay
their respects to the visitors"
Because of no available field here
on which to tie up the dirigible, it
is expected it will merely slacken
its speed in passing over the city
at comparatively low altitude.
Eckener plans to make two more
round-trip flights from Germany to
the United States yet this year, his
associates revealed today.
Before being assigned to perman-
ent duty as a transatlantic air.
ship, the Graf Zeppelin will make
a goodwill flight, probably during
the Christmas season e., to Buenos
Aires.
Eckener to Akron Today
The ship originally was planned to
fly regularly from Seville, Spain, to
the Argentine republic, making the
trip in four days, as against sixteen
days now required by the fastest
steamer.
Spanish capitalists have raised
their share of the necessary funds,
but there has been a delay on the
part of the South Americans.
Until a definite decision is reached
by the Argentinians no action will
be taken on suggestions that the
Graf Zeppelin be made the mother
ship of a proposed fleet of Washing
ton and Baltimore to London and
Paris airships, it was declared.
DR.. Eckener and members Of his
crew are leaving in private car this
afternoon for Akron, o., to confer
with DR.. Karl Arnstein and Good
year-zeppelin officials relating to
the two new airships to be con-
structed for the American Navy from
Zeppelin patents.

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-Governor
Alfred Smith left here at 10 a. m,
central time, for Indianapolis,
where he will stop for an hour or
two.
Smith delivered an address in the
downtown Chicago armory last
night on the theme: "The record of

from the next"
The nominee directed his fire
particularly at Senator Borah of
Idaho and Chairman Work of the
Republican national committee.
'Let us consult the record" he

and congress should, before many
months pass a law to give him the
relief to which he is entitled

farm support for his party, voted
against the only bill suggested to
bring that relief, and at the same
time offered no solution of his own.
"Let us look into the record for
minute, he said, land see if we can
find reason why the platform

convention desired to confine them
