 MT. Hoover in his address said: T am grateful to you for your gen. erous welcome. This reception is in keeping with that hospitality of the men and women for which your city has been known for a hundred years No ono can como within its boun. daries without being reminded of that long list of great leaders which Kentucky has given to the nation from Henry Clay to Henry Watter- son.
 T know the cordial and friendly greeting which you give to me is not in the spirit of partisanship. In this assembly are members of both par ties. and 1t is nc little gratification to me that you have taken the time to come to bid me welcome. We are now nearing the close of the cam paisn. The issues have been thor. oughly discussed. Within few days more than %0.O00.0oo people will 70 to the polls to express their views as to the character of the govern. ment and the policies they wish to see continued in their country.
 Greatest spectacle
 'There is no other country in the world where forty million people on a single day will so to the ballot box to express their determination. It has never before happened in all his- tory. It is the greatest spectacle and inspiration of self government the world has ever witnessed.
 'The American people are meet ing the greatest responsibility of government when they go to the polls and express themselves on election day. The enormous regis- tration which brings this unpar- alleled vote to the polls is itself ex- pressive of the seriousness of the issues and tho earnestness and con- viction with which our people arc meeting them. This evidence of un- precedented interest in the future of of the republic must be gratifying to every one who has it's welfare at heart. It means more than triumph of our party over another; it means more than victory of one individual as against another; it means in the end the triumph of that everlasting principle of self-government upon which America has grown to the leadership of the world.
 ''The relationship of our govern- ment to our people and to all their activities increases day by day. Our relationship with the rest of the world is vastly expanded: our inter- est in world peace is vastly in- creased. We deal with vastly more intricate and delicately adjusted business systems than ever before. The policies of our government bear m increasing responsibility for con- tinued national prosperity and na- tional progress. not only moral but spiritual. Upon the soundness of its principles and policies depend not alone the employment and high standards of living of our people but the peace of the world and tho place that America occupies in the world.
 Prosperity of Kentucky
 'The prosperity of Kentucky h completely inter-dependent on the progress and prospeNlDy of the na- ton. Tho surplus of your products must bs sold outside your borders. Nf~ ~A~ HA- ,,>.,. -->1->A.
