CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-Goyernor
Franklin D. Roosevelt relaxed today
from the strenuous campaign tour
that has taken him into virtually
every state Of the west to watch the
Cubs and the Yankees in their
world series baseball game.
Cheers Of the thousands, who
welcomed him back to this city
where he won the Democratic NOM
ination for President, still were din
ming in the Governors ears today
Democrats claimed the oldfash-
toned torch light parade with all
the political trappings of the mauve
decade which hailed the Governor s
arrival was the ctiy's greatest well
coming demonstration.
The Roosevelt advisors were
enthusiastic over the multitude
which turned out to greet the
nominee. They received optimistic
reports from local party leaders that
the turnout portended a Roosevelt
landslide in Chicago in November.
The Governors day was planned
as break in the strain Of the hard
campaign through the west. After
a morning of informal political con-
ferences, the Roosevelt party was to
lunch at Winnetka at the home OF
j. L. Houghteling, his close personal
friend. From there the party
planned to go to the ball game as
the guests of Mayor Anton Cermak
Dinner to Fete Nominee
City and state Democratic leaders
will fete the candidate at a dinner
at the Stevens hotel at 6 p. m. A
half-hour address will be made by
Roosevelt.
Political leaders turned back in
their memory to the candidacy OF
another Observation-Disclosures and
his bull moose campaign of 1912
for a demonstration that rivalled
the welcome the Democratic nom
inee received here.
A crowd of $4,000 persons jammed
about the Union station. Nearly
100000 lined the streets to the Gov
errors hotel.
Half a dozen brass bands blared
Happy Days Are Here Again
A pair of steam calliopes chlmed
in.
Torch bearers, carrying kerosene
flares resurrted from attics OF the
nineties, lined the sidewalk.
Men in linen busters waved red
flares aloft. Huge flood lights played
on the scene. 4,
One hundred and fifty mounted
police kept order among the DEM
onstrators.
Praises Wisconsin Voters
The Chicago welcome came after
a strong bid had been made by
Roosevelt for the support OF pro-
gressive Republicans in speech al
Milwaukee.
While he did not mention the
powerful La Toilette faction oy
name. the Governor extended an
invitation to the progressive voters
to ioin their western comrades ne
has rallied to his cause during his
extensive campaign swing.
He praised the Wisconsin voters
for their independent tendencies.
This refreshing freedom from
the party lockstep is a Wisconsin
habit" he said. II hope that habit
continues.
"The choice this fall is one which
involves a purpose and a principle
deeper than party. =
This principle is one whlcn /
hone and believe is the fultlllmenC
of the hopes that many persons
have held, and I repeatedly nave
said with most remarkable response
that the Republican who believes
in liberal principles, faced by the
situation that now exists, can not
fail to see-that he has nothing IN
common with the blind reactlonary
spirit that characterizes the pres
emit administration in Washington
Defends University
He lauded the progressive govern
ment of Wisconsin and the princl-
pies upon which it is founded.
Roosevelt will leave for the east
at IL p. m. tonight.
Roosevelt, in his Milwaukee adj
dress. indirectly took sides in the
controversy which has ragged over
the University of Wisconsin.
The policies of President Glenn
Frank and of the faculty have been
under heavy fire by youthful John
H. Chapple. Ashland editor, and
regular Republican candidate toI
senator, who defeated the veteran
John Blaine, incumbent, in the pri-
mary election.
Roosevelt had only hearty praise
for the university.
IN spite of the things I have
been reading" he said, Il still be-
lieve you have maintained in your
university the high principle Of in
tellectual freedom. You have in
sisted that intellectual freedom car
ries with it intellectual reSopnsi-
bility."
Chapple had charged the univer-
sity with fostering CommunistiC
and Socialist doctrines.
