Mail planes were prevented from flying three days in October because of bad weather and lack of a lighted airway for night flying.

DAVIS BOOSTS AL BY RADIO Gives Five Reasons for Support Over Air. By United Press NEW YORK, Nov. I.—John W. Davis, Democratic presidential candidate in 1924, offered to a radio audience over the WEAF network Wednesday night, five reasons for voting for Governor Alfred E. Smith, the 1928 candidate. ) First, he said. Governor Smith’s record and training were superior to Herbert Hoover’s; second, the Republican party is stagnant and indifferent toward current problems; third, Governor Smith’s election would be the only effective method of protesting against “intolerable prohibition conditions;” fourth, a vote for Smith was a protest “against the vicious effort to divide the American people along religious lines,” and fifth, Governor Smith is genuine liberal and ready to fight for a liberal creed.
