Nothing at the outset Of his re-
marks that young democrats Gus
tomarily meet on occasions close to
the birthday anniversary OF Thomas
Jefferson, the President said JEFF
ferson's party was that OF liberal
ism.
Since the Civil war, when the
democrats have been victorious, he
said it was equally true that it had
been more liberal than the repub-
lican party.
Moreover, he said, it is not boast
ing to suggest that during the past
seven years the country has per-
haps been fortunate in having met
modern problems of extreme seri
BUSINESS in the liberal spirit
Then he went back over speeches
he had made in the past-as long
ago as 1935-wtih the intention of
proving "the consistency of the
democratic position" in recent years.
No Dire Prophecy
Addressing young democratic clubs
in August, 1885, the President re-
called that he said he should be
ashamed to chill the enthusiasm of
American youth with the dire
prophecy that to change is to
Destroy" He told them the spirit
Ct America was one "of inquiry, OF
readjustment, of improvement
From his files the President drew
also a Jackson Day dinner speech
delivered 81 Jan. 8, 1886, in which
he said that regardless of the demo-
cratic choice of platform Or nomi-
nee the basic issue that year would
be 'the retention of popular gov
eminent"
That speech preceded the 1886
election, and during the campaign,
Mr.. Roosevelt said, the voters were
told the republicans had a chance
to win and that the people were
tired of liberal government" But
only two states, he said, voted tc
81 DdCh " ~O-LOllllS COllStl Pd-
tism."
Again in 1888, the President said
he had spoken against "the misuse
of concentrated power by relatively
small minority groups in the United
States and that government at
tacks on such misuse had been dis
torted into attacks on 'our whole
system of private profit and private
enterprise
Tonight's address was one which
Mr.. Roosevelt had taken long hours
to prepare and revise. He devoted
most of the first day of a vacation
at the little White House on Pine
mountain to that task.
He did interrupt it,, however, to
receive reports from Washington
twice, by telephone, on the course
of the European war and on de-
nestle affairs.

ish border to Levanger, 40 miles
northeast of Trondheim and south
of Steinkjer, where real action may
begin shortly between the allies and
the Germans.
A Norwegian army communique
from Somewhere in Norway to-
night said:
Norwegian troops occupied their
new positions. Our advanced bodies
had contact with the enemy.
English forces participated in
fighting at Ostlandet eastern Nor

The Germans yesterday bombed
Rena and North Osen.
"In the district OF Dombos last
night about so parachute troops

With the German invasion Of
Norway nearly two weeks old, the
picture as S e e in neighboring
Sweden shaped up roughly like this:
1. The Germans control Oslo with
what they report are increasing
forces, and have reported that they
are spreading to the southwest and
north of Oslo.
However, the latest report that
the Norsemen still held Elverum
indicated the Nazis have suffered a
setback in their drive to the north.
2. Germany holds Trondheim, Ber-
gen and Stavanger, three of the
major ports on the western coast
of Norway. Conflicting claims leave
in doubt the exact status of the
~far-northern ore port of Narvik,
scene of two naval battles between
Britain and Germany and the re-
ported goal of a force of British
which has landed north and west
of Narvik.
In German Hands
8. The railroad from Trondheim
to Sweden is in the hands of the
Germans, gained by a ruse which
allowed safe conduct for a special
train filled with German troops.
4. In southeastern Norway, Ger
many is reported in control OF
points extending from Oslo directly
to the Swedish border.
Signs pointing toward a major
fight for possession of Trondheim
have been seen in the reports that
the allies put ashore one division
at Namsos, 100 miles north OF
Trondheim, and another at Mode.
an equal distance south of the port.
There have, however, been no re-
liable indication as yet of any real
clash.
Mode lies at the Rauma river
valley and permits access to central
Norway.
The third allied division is said
to have come ashore at Laedal, head
Of Sogne ford and n of Nor
ways deepest coastal indentations.

CThe Germans claimed to have

scored direct hits with heavy bombs

Navy Given Credit
The army gave the Royal Navy
full credit for the success of the
transport operation. Warship guns
kept covered landings while Royal
Air Force planes overhead scanned

warships.
The Allied force was believed to
be at least partly mechanical n

forming German line running east
from the seaport of T~rondheim, this
force must penetrate a craggy and
difficult terrain.
The French troops which have
landed in Norway and are taking
part in the operations, according to a
communique from the French high
command, probably include some OF
Frances crack mountain fighters.
Neutral military observers have
expressed the opinion that troops
such as the famed Chasseurs DIAL
pines and Norwegian guerrilla fight
ers would be suited especially TO
screening the advance of mechanic

few good roads.

has been no indication whether any
of these are included in the British
eXpeditionary force.
While the war office continued to
withhold details of the campaign,
neutral attaches said there could not
be much doubt about its broad out
lines.
Reduced to it's essentials, they
said, it would be:
Occupy the coast ports, bomb the
German bases and break the Ger
mar line by simultaneous attacks
on two or three selected spots
The Allied drive, moving out OF
the north toward the key German
positions, thus will be an expanding
movement aimed at dispensing the
Germans to the protection OF towns
along the sea coast. 1t was en-
phasized that not until the German
army has been beaten in the field

ment to the North Carolina for
Roosevelt" drive. But the governor
quickly dispelled any such posi-
bility, by announcing that he fav-
ored the election of Hull, and did
not want a Hoey-for-President
courtesy vote on the first ballot.
Possibly more important, howev-
er, was the governors statement
that he had very good reason"
to believe that President Roosevelt
himself would support Hull. He de-
clined to explain precisely what
that very good reason was.
Nor did the governor comment
when Secretary of State Hull an
nounced that he was not a candi-
date for any political office.
Several members of the North
Carolina for Roosevelt organiza-
ton said there was really little
difference between their position
and that of Governor Hoey. Many
members of their organization, they
said, would be for Hull, if Mr..
Roosevelt decided not to run. Gov
ernor Hoey, they pointed out, was
on record as saying:
at is generally conceded that if
he will be nominated on the first
ballot and probably without oppo-
sition.'
Governor Hoey's only comment
yesterday was that he had received
more letters and kilograms follow
ing his Hull statement than at
any other time during his admin
istration, and that all of the COM
munications endorsed his stand.
Cooper's Promise
Mayor Thomas E. Cooper Of
Wilmington, a democratic candidate
for governor, promised last night
at Lumberton that if elected he
would do "more for the people of
North Carolina than any governor
since the days of the Wal Between

Speaking in the courthouse, Coo

Carl Heintel of Woodrow Wilson

able to smash the line consistently

the Green team. From then on
the play almost was even, with st.

really good teams from different Sec
tions was considered one of the top
battles of any Saturday during the
