Appeal for Hoover in North
Carolina Tonight.

CHARLOTTE, N c., October IT.
Senator William E. Borah of Idaho
will make his second and final appeal
here tonight to the voters of normally
Democratic North Carolina to support
Herbert Hoover's presidential candidacy
in an address which will be broadcast
over the Nation by a coaSt-to-coast
radio hook-up.
Following a day of conferences with
the Republican nominees supporters in
this section of the Tarheel State, the
Senator will speak to a crowd of listen
ers which it is anticipated may exceed
any other meeting Of his campaign trip
to date through Virginia and North
Carolina
The local Hoover leaders have in
stalled amplifiers in three halls near
the City Auditorium, where he will de-
liver his address, to take care of an ex-
pected overflow crowd. His speech will
start at 1880 pm.
The Idaho Senator is expounding

campaign trip to Southern cities re-
Gently visited by Gov. Smith.
Interested Chiefly in Hoover.
st am working only for Hoover's
election" he declared. II am particu-
larly interested in the individual. and If
he we're not the nominee would not
be here"
At Salisbury, NJ c., 40 miles north
east of here, where he motored last
night from Charlotte to deliver an ad-
dress, Senator Borah cited his reasons
for his advocacy of Hoover. He de-
ciared that the Republican nominee by
experience and fitness was qualified TO
solve the economic problems of the
Nation If selected to be the Chief
Executive.
These economic problems, including
farm relief, have got to be solved he
said. ''or they man endanger the struc-
ture of the American Nation. / know
of no one who is better fitted to solve
them
Hoover was characterized by the
Senator as lone of the marvelS of the
century in his ability to deal with
economic problems" He reviewed the
career of the Republican nominee as
head of the relief work in Belgium and
Central Europe, declaring that Hoover
administered these two tasks without
any waste of funds, using "only one-half
of ! per cent of the contributions for
His Honesty Proved.
There is one way to test the hon.
eSty of Hoover" said the Senator, land
that is the fact that he spent millions
upon millions of dollars of the peoples
money in his relief work and not cent
has been Incorporated or misused."
France, he added, did not audit Hoover's
accounts submitted to her government
for the Belgian relief work.
Prohibition, with another attack upon
Gov. Smith for his stand on the ques-
ton, formed a major theme of the
Senator's address. He declared the
women should see to it that prohibition
is retained on the Nations statute books,
adding that the amendment 'haS only
been given a short test and 1t takes
years often to achieve complete success
in such great reforms"
The Idahoan also discussed farm re-
lief, saying that Hoover was opposed to
the equalization fee because it charged
back to the farmers the cost of Market
ing their products" He declared the
Republican nominee believed cheaper
transportation, a Federal farm board
to handle the surplus crops and higher
agricultural tariff rates would solve the
farmers troubles.
Senator Borah called upon the woman
voters of Salisbury to help prevent the
overthrow of prohibition by voting for
the Republican candidate.
The Senator congratulated the wom-
en- of the Nation upon their activity
and their leadership a this campaign"
Without the women and their in
huence and leadership" he declared,
"the eighteenth amendment would
never have been written into the Con-
stitution, and without the women and
their leadership it cannot be kept in
the Constitution and enforced"
Senator Borah reiterated his charge
that the Democratic presidential NOM
inee desired to tear down" the prohibi-
ton law, and said that Smith in his
Milwaukee speech proposed ito destroy
the effort which you women have made
to protect the American home"

said, land doubt the purpose behind
