REPUBLICANS LIE, SAYS ROOSEVELT Scores G. O. P. Speakers For Misrepresenting League Pact. Troy, N. Y., Sept. 21?At a luncheon meeting of Democrats here today Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democratic Vice Presidential nominee, scored the Republican candidates for failing to "stand on their own feet." He. charged that if elected they would be "merely the figureheads through which the 'powers' of the party, would work in the actual government of the country. "The attitude of Republican speakers in many parts of the country is one of lies," he continued. "In dealing with the league of nations issue they make every attempt to mislead the public. "In parts of the country where , there is a socalled German vote, Republican campaign speakers try to get votes by warning that the league is calculated to strengthen France and condemn Germany to serve it. in districts such as Northern New England they tell French-Americans, that the league on the contrary, would for tify Germany, make her a greater power than ever and ruin France. "In the same way they trifle withf the people on the tariff question, tell-! ing interests benefitted by exactly op-i posed tariff policies that a Republi-j . can administration offers them each1 the best chance of prosperity and increased profits."

A., SPARTANBURG, S. C. i STYLE IN BOSTON NOW IS TO CARRY YOUR OWN LUNCH Boston, Sept. 21,?To be in style in Boston one must carry his lunch Mayor Andrew J. P.eters, bluest oi the hub's blue bloods, is doing it. Sc are several thousand other business men and women who believe that the lunch box is the only weapon left tc fight the profiteering restaurant keepers. Day by day the army of lunchroom boycotters is growing. Every day sees more volunteers ready tc take a pledge not to eat in a restaurant again until prices tumble to a reasonable level. The new army is characteristically Bostonese. In its membership can be found millionaire shoe and leather men, wool merchants from the Summer street houses, lawyers, doctors | and in fact men and women in every walk of life in the city. To carry a lunch box in Boston today is not a sign of need. To the contrary it is a sign of distinction. The whole I personnel of some of Boston's big | banks and business houses are enj rolled members of Boston's new tea 1 party. * >? 4 aa i. nr? iL . in tnese iuu per cent omces um whole force, from manager to office boy, bring their lunches, turn the office into veritable lunqfh rooms and ! at noon swap dainty morsels and stories as they solemnly take the pledge to continue the fight. In city hall 30 or more girl clerks and stenographers followed the | mayor's exaiflple. Even in the state ' house, on staid Beacon HiH the storj is the same: "No more restauranl meals until the profiteers call foi mercy." DEMOCRATS NOW HAVE SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT New York Sept. 21.?Democratic orators will go to bat in real earnest on the league of nations issue at once, taking as their text the quarrels settled by the league between Poland and Lithuania and Sweden an u x ituaiiu* This decision was reached here tonight at a conference between Chairman George White and Senator Pat Harrison, chaiman of the speakers bureau at Democratic national committee headquarters. In a brief discussioon of the league situation, in which he outlined, in part, the arguments to be used by the Democratic speakers, chairman White said: "The league of nations is vindicated. It has stopped the war between Poland and Lithuania and prevented a war-like condition between Sweden and Poland. It has refuted the falsehood that it would I be impotent to end hostilities by the peaceful process of mediation and arbitration. "roland and Lithuania actually | were at war over the boundary, and as the assembly of the league is not to hold its first meeting until November 15, the dispute was brought before the council of the league with the result that representatives f both nations agreed to accept the mediation of the legaue and to express a desire ta be at peace. "It has been truly said that if the league could end one war its existence would be wholly justified. It has ended its first war before it has fully organized its machinery." Chairman White also argued that either of the troubles taken up by the league council might have resulted in embattling all Europe, as did the quarrel between Austria and Serbia. t LESS CONSUMPTION COFFEE PER CAPITA DURING 1919 Washington, Sept. 21.?Per capita estimates of the amount of coffee consumed last year in the United it States, announced today by the department of commerce, showed a decline in comparison with 1918, the 1919 amount being 8.99 pounds for every person in the country compared with 10.29 pounds the previous yeir.
