Views On Montlcello Democratic * Meeting of Aug. 30. It la said that a corporal’s guard turned out* at Montlcello Monday noon to greet Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democratic nominee for the vice-presidency. Evidently roasting ears are much more popular with Montlcello people than Franklin D. Roosevelt. —Rensselaer Republican. A large crowd of White county Democrats turned out' Monday shortly after noon to hear Franklin D. Roosevelt, candidate for vice-presi-dent on the Democratic tlckot. He discussed the League of Nations from the administration view point and expressed the belief that the election of Governor Cox would solve the problems now confronting the country. Mr. Roosevelt and party traveled in a special car attached to the noon train and on their arrival at Monticello they were escorted to the T. W. O’Conner residence where lunch was served. At the close of his address he was taken by auto to Delphi, accompanied by several cars from Montlcello. For the first gun of the campaign, the Democrats made a very favorable showing at Montlcello, and while Mr. Roosevelt avoided bitter personalities, his league argument failed to convince many voters of its desirability. — Monon News (Rep.) The above reports of the Roosevelt meeting are of interest. Looey wasn’t there at all and with his usual “reliability” desired his readers to believe it was a frost. Editor Huff of the Monon News, a lifelong Republican who never ran off after false gods and who has been a Republican more years than Looey has been bom, speaks first-hand of the meeting. Can you place any dependence or believe anything you see in a paper so blindly partisan as Looey’s?
