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."

of 200 days in every year, Hanahue

hours.

Some years ago a Spaniard named
Godinez offered to subject himself- to!

proved later that he was able to |
stand a charge far higher than that
used in the prison for the purpose of
electrocution. At an exhibition before

two electrodes, and permitted a con-,
stant stream of lightning to pass|
through his body without suffering
any harmful results.

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.

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.

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.
With the exception of 1913, when
per capita consumption was only 8.85
pounds, the 1919 figure was the lowest
for any year since 1910 when
the estimated consumption was 8.69
per capita. Of 1,051,839,910 pounds
of coffee imported into the United
States during- 1919, 959,177,361
pounds were retained for consumption
and 92,662,549 pounds were ex
ported.
