Hoover Train, en- Route to PaI0
Alto, Calif., Nov. B.-R)-Herbert
Hoover appfoacheds the end Of his
last campaign trip today with his
confidence in Republican victory
strengthened by the evidences Of en-
thusiasm which he has found along
tho 5000 miles Of his journey from
the Atlantic to the Pacific coast.
Ending his quest for the presi-
dency where he began it nearly
three months ago, the nominee, after
his arrival 1t his home ct Palo Alto,
will deliver his last message to the
country before the election to-
morrow.
This will be q nonpartisan appeal
to the voters to exercise their right
Of citizenship at the polls. It will
be delivered from his study At 6:46
p. m. Pacific coast time (9:45 p. m.
Bismarck time), and will be broad
cast over q nationwide chain Of
radio stations.
Emphasizes Prosperity
Hoover made his last purely po-
litical speech at Pueblo. Colo, Sat-
urday night, the fourth since he
left his general headquarters at
Washington last Thursday. In al Of
these he emphasized prosperity and
the importance Of the issues before
the electorate.
With his campaign ended the Re-
publican standard-bearer appeared
to have laid his cares aside, and yes
terday enjoyed his first full day Of
relaxation in many months. He
spent much Of the day in his pri-
vate car reading, and at the points
along the line where he greeted
large crowds his manner indicated
q freedom from concern over polit-
ical matters.
At one stop on the edge Of the Ne
vada mining region his interest was
diverted to the tariff by = blue
shirter miner, who remarked: "Mr.
Hoover, there's . lot Of people in
this country who would like to keep
that tariff on lead, and we would like
to get = highes one on silver It we
could"
Hopes for Tariff
"Well, I hope we will get it," the
candidate responded with . broad
smile.

was reflected by the other members
Of his party. Ralph E. Williams Of
