TELLS PRINCIPLES
TO VAST THR0NC
Reiterates Stand on En-
forcement Of Eighteenth
Amendment.

MT. HooVers acceptance speech made
at Palo Alto Saturday, compared with
those of former candidates is unity of
the period. The underlying subject is
the next coming phase of American
prosperity. The prosperity itself he is
very confident of. With continuation
of present policies he takes the pros
perity for granted. What he specu-
lates about is what social and spiritual
use to make of our material abund-
ance and economic security.
He visualizes America not as at a
crossroad, nor a turn, but rather at a
point where the road broadens out to
more widely distributed well-being
With the mechanism for producing
material abundance running smoothly,
he devotes himself to new social adj
vances which he is satisfied can be
built upon it. With calm confidence
he assumes the solution of society's
oldest problem. "Given chance he
says, "to go forward with the policies
of the last eight years we shall soon
with the help of God be in sight of
the day when poverty will be banished
from the nation"
The nominee repeated that he
stands for "the efficient enforcement
of the laws enacted under the prohibi-
ton amendment and added that "who-
ever is chosen president has under his
oath the solemn duty to pursue this
course"
For relief of the farmer he out
lined a program embracing tariff
protection and increased and cheaper
transportation supported by federal
financial aid in building up farm
owned and controlled corporations to
take care of crop SURPRISES.
In addition he declared vigorously
for religious tolerance; inveighed
against corporation in public office;
struck a note of idealism in the rela-
ton of government to the people and
issued a call to the women and the
youth of the country to contribute
their enthusiasm to the success of the
American experiment in democracy.
Speaking to a vast throng in this
athletic bowl and to countless people
over the country, Hoover outlined his
stand on prohibition without making
direct reference to Alfred e. Smith,
his democratic opponent, or to the
New York governors declaration for
of the Volstead enforce
ment act
Modification of the enforcement
laws which would permit that which
the constitution forbids is nullifica-
tion," he said. "This the American
people will not countenance.
Reiterating that he did not favor
repeal of the Eighteenth amendment,
The republican nominee said no one
was to be criticized for seeking to
change the constitution by lawful
means, but added that the republican
party denied the right Of anyone to
seek to destroy the purposes of the
by indirection.
Declaring that agriculture present

needing only "the detailed elaboration

Aside from federal aid to farm
tabilizaton corporations, he proposed
ariff increases to give agriculture the
anne protection as the industries and
he development of inland waterways,
including the Mississippi and the
treat Lakes to the Atlantic systems,
