Palo Alto, Calf, Nov. 6.-(AP)-
Herbert Hoover today became a.
mere private in the greatest army
OF Americans that ever went to the
polls to vote in a National election.
The Republican presidential candi-
date had travelled 5000 miles across
the continent to cast his ballot.
His voting place was precinct
number two on the campus Of Stan
ford University where he had worked
as youth to gain an education.
With his own were to be cast the
ballots Of four other members Of his
family, those of Mrs. Hoover and
his two sons, Allan and Herbert Jr.,
and Mrs. Herbert Hoover, Jr.
After voting, the Hoovers planned
to spend the remainder Of the day
quietly at their home at San Juan
Hill, and there receive the returns
both by radio and over special wires
Of Press Associations.
Because of the difference in time
between the west and the east, first
results of the election will begin
reaching the Republican Standard
Bearer in mid-afternoon, and before
midnight, Pacific coast time, he ex-
poets to learn whether he is to head
= new Republican administration in
the control Of the federal govern
ment.
New York First
The first returns likely will be
from the eastern section, which in
Guided New York state, the home of
Hoover's Democratic opponent. and
in which the Republican nominee
made concerted drive before Con-
tinuing his last campaign swing
across the country.
That transcontinental swing con-
cluded yesterday with a boisterous
homecoming welcome to the famil-
lar scenes of the Stanford campus.
Hoover last night sounded the last
note In his campaign in an appeal to
tho electorate over the ralio to
march in full strength to. the polls
and disregard sectional lines in max
ing their decision.
"There ought no longer to BE- any
north, south, east o.: west in our Ma
tional thought" he said. ".Our

moulded and welded under leadership
of men and women of every section
Of the country. The greatest pro-
gress can come in the advancement
Of our institutions, our ideas and
our ideals by the common :ontribu-
ton Of every section"
Urging also that the people make
an independent determination of
their conclusions on the issues Of
the campaign, Hoover said:
Ballot For Liberty
Democracy can not survive If the
ballot 10 to be cast upon somebody's
order or direction. Democracy in
such . state would become the de.
stroyer Of liberty and not its guar
antee," he added.
Referring to the interest in the
campaign as manifested by the un-
precedented registration, the Repub-
lican nominee declared this "enor-
mously enlarged interest is evidence
Of the great depth of conviction and
even anxiety Of our pe~pl, over this.
momentous decision.
"And whatever that decision is. It
will be right" he added. II believe
in the will Of the majority. It rep
resents the common will and the
conscience Of our people,"
As Hoover talked into the micro
phone installed in the study of his
home, he was surrounded by the
members Of his immediate family. :
Immediately after he concluded
his final talk Of the campaign, the
radio brought him the last word Of
his Democratic opponent which also
was carried over q nationwide hook
up Of stations.
