HOOVER VISITS THE "ENEMY's COUNTRY

Herbert Hoover's first invasion into the eel
emy's territory Tuesday amazed his most arder
The Secretary of Commerce spent
couple of days in New Jersey addressing monste
audience at Newark Monday evening. This addres
gave the people of America a wonderful insigf
into Mr.. Hoover's grasp of affairs, both industri'
and agricultural Monday evenings address dea
largely with labor and industrial conditions
on this address the Pioneer Press sale
When Mr.. Hoover deals with business af-
fairs, as in his speech at Newark, New Jersey,
he is clearly champion of the ring. His knowl-
edge of American industry equals, II not ex-
ceeds, that of any other man in public life.
His ability to grasp and solve the problems
of manufacture, trade and commerce has been
demonstrated repeatedly in many lines. In
this field he is no theorist. Here he does not
have to defer difficult questions to after-elec
ton conferences. He applies his scientific
training and practical experience and acts with
mastery command.
In the ten years since the war; America has
developed into the dominant industrial nation
of the world. It's expansion has been beyond
comparison in history. During all the marvel
GUS period Herbert Hoover has been one of it's
guiding directors, the contact between govern
ment and business, representative of the pub
lie in councils of industry.
His record is replete with commentator for
jobs well done. 1t is with confidence, there
FORE that he invaies the Industrial East
where Governor Smith is supposed to be strong
est, and throws down challenge based on
welfare of the working masses.
Hoover's talks on business well worth
reading because of their stamp of authority.
They carry home the conviction that to in
sure high levels of industrial activity and
equally high standards of American living, he
Is the better man to elect president. They con-
vey a solid impression that the country is tax
ing no chances on business basis with him in
control.
There is also in Mr.. Hoover's speech indi-
cation of move toward farm relief along
practical lines. Amid the factories of Newark
was place to discuss in detail troubles of the
farmer, but he took occasion to note that some
OF the most important branches of agriculture
'rave Jagged behind industry in it's advance
since the war;" This fact at last seems to be
dawEing on the East as something menacing it's
own welfare. Mr.. Hoover argues logically
that the farmer must be able to buy if the fac
tory is to have customers for it's products and
jobs for it's employees.
Therefore, to his industrial audience he said:
by sympathetic policies we should materially
further increase the farmers buying power
thus add to the security of employment in the
Industries. This becomes one of our first du-
ties in common interest" ~
An aroused sense of self interest NAV vet
bring to the farmers recognition of the relief
SO long denied. If the Republican candidate
can enlist Eastern industrial masses as allies
OF agrlcultures cause, whether their motives
be based on sympathy or selfish interest and
bring about an Increase in the farmers buying
power then he certainly wins the support of
the Middle West, regardless of the price of
