Roosevelt Vl Charlotte, N. C.
PRESIDENT WILL DELIVER ADDRESS AT “GREEN PASTE RES” RALLY CHARLOTTE, N. C., Sept. 10. (UP) — This “Queen Citv of the” South” welcomed 75,000 Democrats to a “green pastures" rally today to hear a major address by President Roosevelt. The president, resting et Asheville, N. C., after a motor trip over the Tennessee and North Carcline mountains. is scheduled to sneax at the Charlotte municipal stadium at 5 p.
m. KST,
From seven states came prominent Democrats governors, senators and congressmen to promise Mr. Roosevelt their support in the November elections. The city was draped in gay flags and bunting. Officials estimated atendance at the stadium may reach 100.000. At Asheville, the president tucked away pen and paper after several hours’ work, satisfied with the final draft of his address. His tour through the Great Smokv mountains was described by White House attaches as non-political, but observers believed the nature of today’s rally would necessitate important partisan declarations. Hundreds of early arrivals here from Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Tcnessee, Virginia, Florida and North Carolina mingled m crowded hotel lobbies last night discussing the political situation. Their leaders prepared to tell Mr. Roosevelt that the southeast would give him overwhelming endorsement in No-
vember.
Gov. J. C. B. Ehringhaus ot North Carolina and Senators Josiah W. Bailey and Robert R. Reynolds will accompany the president’s motorcade from Asheville a 100 mile journey. Ehringhaus will introduce Mr. Roosevelt to the rally delegates. With Ehringhaus will be Governors Olin Johnston of Sou’h Carolina, Dave Sholtz of Florida, and Hill McAlister of Tennessee. Delegates speculated whether Gov. Eugene Talmadge of Georgia, vigorous opponent of the new deal who lost his fight for a U. S. senate seat in yesterday’s election, would attend Gov. George C. Perry of Virginia notified officials he would not be present but would send representatives. Weather bureau experts warned that thunderstorms may interfere with the ceremonies but no alterations were made in plans for the open-air demonstration. The stadium accommodates about 25,000 persons. The remainder will be seated in an adjacent high school athlet’c field and in special seats built around the two fields. Mr. Roosevelt will be the fifth president of the century to he honored here. In 1930, former President Hoover appeared before a crowd of 50 000 at the unveiling of n memorial on the Kings mountain battle ground.
