At present he does not | plan an extensive tour but Demo- | crats throughout the country are| urging him to make speeches in| numerous big cities. i Speaker Garner plans to go to Albany and confer with Gov.

He will probably make his headquarters in Washington. Has Been Notified Garner said his message to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last Saturday accepting the nomination is all the official notification necessary and he plans no ceremony meanwhile. Garner said he would continue to be a candidate for the next Congress from the Fourteenth dis- trict, Texas, which he has served for 30 years. He said he would not make a public political state- ment until Congress adjourns. | To Continue Duties Garner is expected to continue his duties as Speaker right up to the time of taking office if he is elected but already speculation is going the rounds of a possible suc- cessor.

GERMANY BUCKS OVER PROPOSALS ON REPARATIONS [Creditor Powers Turned Down — Everything Depends on U. S. LAUSANNE, July 5.— Germany have refused to accept any pro- posal linking up a settlement of reparations with adjustment of al- lied debts to the United States. It is said five principal creditor powers handed to the German dele- gation last Saturday night, a pro- posal for a reparations settlement in which the settlement was made !Eighteenth Amendment Is : . Doomed Roosevelt Asserts In S peech of Acceptance | Smith. By EDWARD J. DUFFAY (Associated Press Staff Writer) CHICAGO, II, July 5.—After listening Saturday to Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt’s speech of acceptance of the Democratic Presidential nom- ination, in which he proclaimed plans for an intense campaign on the “main issue” of the economic situation, delegates to that party's convention here headed homeward Sunday and Monday to bind up any lingering wounds of the fray here and unite on a solid front to carry the Roosevelt-Garner pennant to victory. The Governor declared that the platform adopted by the convention | suited him “100 per cent.” As the |convention itself has done by reso- |lution while waiting for him to arrive by airplane, he invited dis- sfied Republicans to march to the attack of the Hoover Admin- istration between now and Novem- ber. Eighteenth Amendment Doomed “The Eighteenth Amendment is doomed,” he cried with eyes glint- ing as he congratulated the cheer- ing " delegates for having courage- ously and fearlessly pledged the |party to repeal the Prohibition Amendment. He didn't mention {modification of the Volstead Act to allow the manufacture of light wine and beer which the platform also advocates. Without going deeply into detail, he promised a program aimed to alleviate distress and unemploy- ment, to restore the farmers’ pur- chasing powder and tariff revision in the interest of the people, in the conviction it would revive busi- ness. Welsomed by Throng A great crowd welcomed Gov. Roosevelt on his arrival, after a long trip bucking head winds, at the Sally Airport. A while before, shortly after the unanimous nom- ination of Speaker John N. Garner for Vice-President, Alfred E. Smith, taking his own defeat to heart, left for New York without waiting to hear Senator Thomas J. Walsh, Permanent Chairman of the con- vention, formally notify his rival of victory. “Don’t forget to make up with Al' Smith,” from one of the dele- gates, But some of Smith’s friends re- mained skeptical, Some expect him to leave the country for the dura- tion'of the campaign, possibly mak- ing a European trip. Curry Greets Roosevelt Included in Gov. Roosevelt's es- cort to the platform of the stad- ium were John F. Curry, Tam- many leader, and Mayor Anto Cer- mak of Chicago, neither of whom were preconvention Roosevelt men. Both will support him in the cam- paign. The Democratic nominee penciled last minute alterations in his ac- ceptance speech enroute here in nl bucking plane. As he emphasized the points m\ his speech, veteran convention dele- | gates were reminded of his speech four years ago at Houston Texas. But then he_ was nominating Al' Defines Party Purpose Defining the purpose of the| Democratic Party in the coming campaign, he said: “Ours must be the party of liberal thought, plan- ned action, of enlightened inter- national outlook and of the great- est good for the greatest number of our citizens. “This is more than a Presidential brought the laughing reply, | “I'll do that,” from the nominee. | Physicians said he simply died as a result of fright. couver, B.
