ROOSEVELT IS GUEST AT GEORGIA BARBECUE New York Governor Declares Occasion Is No Time for Political Discussions. By the Associated Press. WARM SPRINGS, Ga., October 14— Georgians, including some of the State’s outstanding political figures, gave Gov. Roosevelt of New York a rousing “home coming” at a barbecue here yesterday. Some 2,000 or more from Georgia and other Southern States attended. Mr. Roosevelt had requested that the affair be_non-political. Buttons and banners proclaimed Roose- wvelt - for - President sentiment, and the Atlanta Firemen's Band had a new march, “Forward, Franklin D. Roose- velt. Senator W. J. Harris of Georgia told newspaper men after the barbecue that he had just returned from a trip through New England “and found there as much enthusiasm for Roosevelt as there is in the South. There is no question,” Mr. Harris said, “of his popularity with the rank and file of the voters. Not only is this true in New England and in the South, but throughout the country. He has reunited the Democratic party like no other man could.” Mr. Roosevelt, in a brief speech at the barbecue, said “this is no time for poli- ties. It is just a friendly party of neighbors.” .
