Democratic Nominee De- scribes His Philosophy
 of Government
NATIONAL PROGRAM, WATCHWORD OUTLINED
In t err Dependence of All Groups, All Sections. All
 Economic Interests

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Gov.
 Franklin D. Roosevelt, Demo-
 cratic nominee for President,
 invited the Republicans to join him in effort to obtain "wOrk and security for the American people,"
 The a n d i date described these as the essentials of the philosophy of Cover nment and contrasted his own ideas w { h tn Os e he said were Hoover's.
 The appeal was made to the Republicans for Roosevelt League after Gov. R00sevelt's swing by automobile through the New Jersey cities. Gov. Roosevelt said it has not been hard to condense and sum up all argument the President has made for reelection, into two sen- tences:
 He aks for vote of confidence because he says that but for him. the situation would have been worse.
 He asks the Nation to wait and hope for some miracle of in- vention to make things better.
 Roosevelt Policy
 My political philosophy, my chart of action for the country's future, differs widely from Hoov- er's program.
 This program, entrusted to me, IS essentially national program and its watchword is nter-depend- ence of all groups, all sections, all economic interests.
 Such program permits of no 1ielding to sectional or immediate selfish special interests, such as hose represented by the clients md packers of MT. Grundy."
 The Democratic nominee for President further said:
 For American Government
 "The American Government itself s founded on the principle that many men. from many States, with many economic views and many economic interests, might, through medium of National Government. 'uild for National harmony, Ma ional unity and inter dependent Vell-being, and if the President turns rom his made-to-order statistics. rom his so-called backward crip- lied countries to the great stricken markets of Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa. Illinois and other great agricultural states, cease his utopian dream ng, and turn to real words of the ounders of the Republic, a true esson in. American history, he will now what the American system 7 eally is."

PRESIDENTIAL SPECIAL EN ROUTE WEST, Nov. 4. = Making la dramatic appeal today for sup port of the people, President Hoo yer, speaking at Springfield, Hi. nois, where Abraham Lincoln wa buried, drew what he called al analogy between the issues of thi. campaign and those when Lincolr was reelected
 President Hoover said in 1864 with the country in deep gloom and the Democrats demanding 2 change in leadership in Washing ton, the Nation declined to turn to untried policies of experiments, leaders but reelected Lincoln.
 Same Then As Now
 Hoover said the same alterna- tives are before the country today that lay before it in that momen- tous campaign, nearly three quar-. ters of a century ago.
 The choice the American people made in 1864 was made on Novem- Der 8, said the President, and they ere called to make in 1882, on No. vember 8, another choice.
 The turn in the tide of tht Civil War was made at Gettys. burg and the turn in the tide oi this crisis was made last winter.
 Continue to Fight
 Just as after Gettysburg, long months of continual battle wers required to bring about a saving of the Union, so in the same man. Ter we must continue to fight to recover our prosperity and pre- serve our social and political prin- cipleS from which Abraham Lin coin stood" said the President.
 Hoover reiterated twelve policies eliunciated in his Des Moines speech for relief of agriculture and commented on Gov. Roosevelt $ apparent reactions" then said:
 Great Mystery
 "T'he Democratic candidate de- velcped one of the greatest mys- tereis of this whole campaign, in his proposal for relief of agricul- ture. He has not been willing to state the method by which he pro- poses to secure an advance of ag- prices. He stated, with great care, six methods by which he can escape from amy demand that he will make good on his proposal"

DON'T QUOTE ME

Washington, Sept S-(UP)-The original copies of the constitution and the declaration of independ- ence still are the biggest attrac- tions at the Library of Congress. They are. in a special niche, pro. tected by two layers of plate glass, between which is a coating of yell low gelatine to keep out the in- furious light rays. Despite the precautions the documents are fading. On the constitution it is just barely possible to make out this signoture:-"G. Washington (cq), prefi't and deputy from Vir- ginia." There are several purple ink spots where one of the signers apparently shoo the ink of stub born quill. On the declaration only the bold signature of John Hancock is still clearly readable. A special guard is assigned to watch the documents. He is an aged, white -mustached Irishman 'who refuses to tell his name be- cause he says it's against the rules.
 George Arliss, according to the guard, stood before the two docu- ments for several minutes. then turned away and said.-
 "To bad they are getting so awfully dim, isn't it?"
 Prime Minister Ramsay Mac Donald didn't seem very impress sed when he examined the consti- tuition and the declaration. He was standing with the librarian, talk ing rapidly while examined the documents. The guard doesn't know what they were talking about. He was standing out be- yond the rail where he's supposed to be. But as they left he heard Macdonald inquire:-
 Do you have any of my books in the library?"
 No" replied the librarian.
 "Ill send you set"
 There was considerable confus- ion the day Kerensky came in. Everybody was talking Russian, and that left the Irish guard out on a limb. Later he asked some body, though, and found out that kerensky wanted to see Alexander Hamilton's signature.
 The guard says he has lots more quotations from famous persons, but he won't talk about them. Wants to save it all for the book he's going to write when he re-
