terrupted Hoover's challenges to
Democrats on their tariff and house
records seemed stunned. It wasn't
the same applause.
However, as the man whose hair
has greyed considerably in four years
of presidential care concluded his
carefully prepared address, Senator
Fees of Ohio, long a prohibition
champion, was applauding with the
rest. A moment later he gave his
benediction to the prohibition sug-
gestion.
Hoover proposed as common
ground" for "all reasonable people
that: "each state shall be given the
right to deal with the problem as it
may determine, but subject to abso-
lutte guarantees in the constitution
of the United States to protect each
state from interference and invasion
by it's neighbors, and that in no part
of the United States shall there be
return Of the saloon system with its
inevitable political and social COR
ruption and its organized interference
with other states"
Raps Democratic Plan
He said the Democratic plan for
outright repeal meant return of
the saloon. He pointed to the "boot-
logger and speakeasy" Of the pres
ent regime.
II refuse to accept either Of these
destinies," he said "either is intoler-
able. These are not the ways out"
Before and after the eagerly a.
waited prohibition declaration the
president, dressed in serge coat and
white trousers, told the sweltering
guests and vast nationwide radio
audience just what he stood for, what
he had done and what he contemplate

simple and so plain that every man
and woman who may hear or read my
words cannot misunderstood"
Only once did he mention the Re-
publican party. He willingly gave
credit to Democratic members of
Congress who helped in enactment of
the emergency reconstruction meas
ures. He attacked the Democratic
house under Speaker Garner, the
Democratic vice presidential NOM
inee, for some of it's economic pro-
posals. Obviously pointing at Gov
ernor Roosevelt, he demanded DEM
ocratic specifications on tariff re-
form; supported the protective tariff
and "squareIy opposed the Democrat
ic proposal Of "a competitive tariff
or revenue"
Hoover asked reelection on his
record. The word II" appeared fire.
quently. Also did the phrases II
shall persist in that" or Il shall con-
tinue to oppose that" as he ran the
scale Of governmental problems and
political issues. He apparently
sought to overlook no outstanding
question in the 5000 word address.
Hopes For Prosperity
Il rest the case Of the Republican
party on the intelligence and the just
discernment Of the, American peo-
ple," he concluded. "Should my

construction. shall hope long be-
fore another four years have passed
to see the world prosperous and at
peace and every American home

fundamental traditions and principles
upon which our nation was founded
and upon which it has grown. l shall

ness Of its people. This is my pledge
to the nation and to the Almighty
