 The Republican nominee gave the final speech of his Eastern campaign here Monday night. and after the cheers with which he was greeted had died away, Hoover laid before the neighbors of Smith his contention that the Democratic Party had brought into the cam paign proposals on Farm Relief, Prohibition and electoral power which constituted an abandonment of the principles of the United States Government.
 Hoover declared that at least one tenth of the Democrats are in favor of "State Socialism,
 Striking the opposition more wig orously than ever before during his campaign, Hoover said that it was proposed that the country should change from Prohibition to the State purchase and sale of liquor, and that the Government should buy and sell, and fix prices of az ricultural products, and enter the hydroelectric business, saying am idst burst of applause, "It would stifle initiative and invention; it would undermine development and leadership, cramp and cripple tho spiritual energies of our people, ex- tinguishing equality and opportun- ity. and dry up the spirit of liberty and progress.
 You are right there." one of the spectators cried above the din of applause. which greeter Hoover's declaration that he knows that the adoption of these methods of Gov ernment fin business would "strike at the very youth of American life and would destroy the very basis of American progress"
 After his great speech, the Re- publican nominee went directly to his hotel to rest an hour before en- training for Washington, D. c.
