lcal ana economic Inspiration OF new
ideals and the full comprehension OF
our deStinies will result from q better
reciprocal understanding between the
peoples, who inhabit this fair and
extensive paradise, our America.
For these reasons / consider that
the sixth international American
conference will stand out in the his
tory OF ol;r conciliatory activities,
not as the goal OF ambitions bred
by the anxiety OF securing advant-
ages, but az the starting point OF
an ample and generous intercontin-
entail policy subject, perhaps to a
precise appreciation OF realities and
of duties
My present guests will gather in
the course of time the mature fruit
Of the efforts which our predecessors
were unable to bring 10 completion,
but they will be at the same time
the precursors OF new political stand
ards which will consolidate together
with the peace OF America the well
fare OF humanity.

One Of the memorable political campaigns of history is ending in dizzying burst of effort and enthusiasm as Herbert Hoover swings through the West and Cow Alfred D. Smith makes his final rounds among his neighbors in New York.
 Millions of their fellow citizens join in noisly to lift the drama to it's proper climax. Party rallies are in progress in metropolis and hamlet and party workers everywhere are lavishing advice on every waver- ing voter.
 Most of this tumult will end tonight when Gov. Smith will speak in New York and Mr. Hoover in Pueblo, Colorado, while scores of lesser figures on the stump wind up their speaking tours and turn hcmeward to cast their own ballots Tuesday
 Final Arguments

 As put out for publication, these predictions on either side sometimes go the length of fore casting a landslide.
