Plans Georgia Visit.
1t was learned that whether Roosevelt
is elected to the presidency or not he
will leave shortly after the middle
of November for a visit to Warm
Springs, Ga.
He will stay in Warm Springs until
about week before Christmas And
if he is elected he may go back to the
South for another visit on the f1rst
of the year, spending some time in
Warm Springs and some in Florida.
There were no visitors at the Roose-
welt home this morning and the
Governor said he did not expect any
this afternoon. He planned to stay at
home quietly until time to leave for
the Brooklyn Academy Of Music tonight.
Speaks In Newark.
Speaking in Newark, N. j., last night,
where he was greeted by large crowds,
Gov Roosevelt spoke as follows:
MY old friend and colleague, Gov.
Moore, and my friends of New Jersey,
of Newark and of Essex County:
could do no less than to come back
to New Jersey at the end Of this great
campaign, because l shall never forget
the opening Of that campaign down
in Seagirt last August I shall never
forget the wonderful welcome that you
good people of New Jersey gave to me-
Since then I have travelled in many
States; I have travelled from coast to
coast, and the further I go the more
convinced I am that the Nation will
be restored to democracy next Tuesday.
Your chairman-I am not making
you a speech-but your chairman has
mentioned the fact that the dis
tinguished gentleman who is running
against me for the presidency was in
Newark the other day ! had hoped,
my friends, that during these closing
days of the campaign that We Amer
leans everywhere might find out more
clearly and more definitely where the
Republican candidate stands on a num-
ber Of great issues, including the issue
of prohibition. I am convinced that
the country will not take kindly 70
a ticket one half OF which Is squarely
on the dry side Of the fence and the
other half Of which Is sitting squarely
ON top of the fence. And I am in
clined to think that honest vets and
honest drys both will appreciate the
sincerity and the deflniteness of the
Democratic platform, which favors a
repeal Of the eighteenth amendment
and the immediate modification of the
Volstead law.
And I am confident also that the
electorate Of the country will subscribe
TO the fact that the Democratic can
didates stand 100 per cent on that
platform.
Confident of Results
And so, my friends, let me tell you
that l look forward to Tuesday next
with the greatest of confidence and in
that confidence I place the carrying
Of the State Of New Jersey by the
Democratic ticket by an Overwhelming
ma ajority and the next time I see you
good people I shall hope to come back
here as President-elect. Many thanks
and good night"
Following is the text of the speech
delivered in Journal Square at Jersey
City
Mayor Hague, my friends of Jersey
City and of all Of New Jersey: The
very least I could do is to come back
here at the end Of the campaign, after
the wonderful reception that this State
gave me at the beginning Of the cam
paign.
Il am glad to be back in New Jersey
and glad to have the assurance OF
Mayor Hague and the Governor of this
State of New Jersey that New Jersey
will be found in the Democratic column
on election day. And may I add, my
friends, in the thick Of the campaign
we on the Democratic ticket are not
campaigning with the slogan that things
might have been worse-ours is not a
doctrine Of despair We are cam
paigning to give the people OF this
country the assurance that We will use
every ounce of our strength to make
things better for America"
