ST. LOUIS. Mo.. Oct. 22.—Speak
ing in the historic Coliseum, befor
25.000 people. Gov- Franklin E
Roosev; It, Democratic nominee fo
President of the United State*
preesented the eight cardinal pi in
ciples of the credit and financia
stability of America which the Dc
mocratic administration will pm
sue.
An ovation lasting nearly fivi
minutes greeted Governor Poose
velt when he was introduced, ant
throughout his hour address In
was compelled for long periods t<
await the thunderous applause t<
subside Ii was his second ad
dress in St. Louis in the presen
campaign.
In part the Governor said:
!,My friends of Missouri, I havi
been here cnce before, but I jus
had to come back again. This cam
paign has gone far enough and wi
can now begin to take stock. Du
ring my campaign thruout tin
country we have found extraordi
nary response from the people, an<
already we have noticed a steady
ing of conditions coming over tin
country.
“This is now the spirit of late Oc
tober with only a couple of week:
to go; this spirit is a tribute to th(
Democratic program of reconstruc
tion. The people are more hope
ful and are certain a Democratic
victory is coming.
“The Republican leaders protes
now that if the Republican part;
is defeated dire things will happer
to our people and our country afte:
the election. The Republicans nov
realize that the Democrats have the
confidence of the people. Faith L
a delicate but powerful factor ii
our lives, but the Republicans arc
sounding alarm and thereby arc
mot performing a decent policy fo:
the people.”
“In the main, the people are no
disturbed by the false and calamity
speeches of the Republicans whicl
are nothing more than smok<
screens The apostles of disaste
are also making terrorists threat;
which are pasted on walls of fac
tories but the people are not scar
ed. American labor has educatec
itself top well. Neither are ou:
agriculture interests frightened b]
the old variations of threats du^
up by the Republicans from tin
days of Mark Hanna.
“Tear bombs are now being hurl
ed by President Hoover and hi:
stalwarts; hurled to blind the eye:
of the people. These have no per
manent effect; they are temporary
and painful, in my opinion these
acts cast a deep reflecton on whal
the principles of this country have
stood for. Anyone who uses the
gospel of feai to blind your eyes ij
an enemy.”
Governor Roosevelt then dwell
in detail on credit stability empha
sizing eight groups; obligations o:
the Federal government, obliga
tions of the 43 States, foreign obli
gations. domestic industrial bonds
public utilities obligations, railroae
obligations, real estate obligations
In closing, the Governor, in ring
ing tones, said: “We are not goins
to win a great victory; or a grea
landslide on November 8, but w<
are going to see the only kind o:
revolution Americans will stanc
or; a revolution of the ballot;
which will sweep the Democrats
party into power.”
