Thomas A. Edison.
The Presidents speech of less
than minute in honor of Edison
and thanking almost 100000, who
braved the rain to hear him, was
followed by a tremendous cheer from
the crowd which filled Campus Mar
titus, the city of city hall.
All along the route of the trip
from Dearborn to city hall citizens
stood in the rain to voice their 'ap-
plause for the President.
Wait in Rain
The crowd waited patiently In the
rain until the President and Mrs.
Hoover appeared at the improvised
stand on the east steps of the city
hall shortly before noon A cheer
went up from the sea of umbrella
tops as the President appeared hat
less and smiling.
Governor Fred w. Green offici-

the state. He gave two-minute
address in which he extolled Hoo
yer and Edison.
