 ON ROOSEVELT
Most Vigorous Speech He Has Yet Delivered-In- dulged in Aggressive Personalities ThrOugh- out His Address

| Aboard President Hoover's Spe- l cial Train, En Route to Washing l ton, Oct 29-(U. P.) - President Hoover, heartened by the reception accorded his campaign speech at Indianapolis last night, the most vigorous procurement of his campaign was speeding. homeward l to- day through Ohio and West Vir-. ginia, to prepare for the climax or his fight to retain the presidency. His journey through the middle eastern states to-day was a repeti- ton of his strenuous trip outward bound from Washington. when he was called upon to make rapid-f1re I addresses from the back platform | in the larger centers, and to make personal appearances in the small CT towns where hundreds of citi- zens were waiting for glimpse of the candidate. Members of the presidential party expressed themselves day as enthusiastic over the erect or MT Hoover's speech, in which he scathingly criticised Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt's economic program, before a cheering au- dience of 22,000. Tie was lo dHIiNC AA VoSASeoAA at 4 D. m.
 There had been one long parade for the president and another for Governor Ritchie. Together, the two speakers provided Indianapolis with sufficient political sensation to mark the event as a red-letter day in the city's history.
 MT Hoover's address, frequently interrupted by cries of Ego to 1t, Herbie!" provided the most direct attack upon his opponent yet made by the republican nominee.
 The president said that Governor Roosevelt was guilty of violation of the truth; of making "atrocious charges; of "evasion";|of of 8 ''shufr fle'' on the tariff question instead of "new deal"
 One of the outstanding declara- - tions in the document dealt with Governor Roosevelt's recent refer ence to the supreme court and what he termed republican con- trop' over it.
 Docs that statement" the presi- dent asked, express his intention to attempt to reduce that tribunal to an instrument of party policy and political action for sustaining such doctrines as he may bring with him?"
 Governor Roosevelt's tariff the orfes were the subject of consid- erable part of the speech. | "He now announces" the presi- dent said, within two weeks of the election, that he does, not pro- pose to reduce tariffs on farm products. This is the most start ling shift in position by a presi- dential candidate in the midst of political campaign in all re- cent political history. What would Grover Cleveland or Woodrow Wil- son say to such a shift? Does the governor realize that he has over- night thrown overheard the great historical position of his party ? FThat he has rewritten the demo- cratic platform? That he must withdraw half the speeches in which he denounced the Hawley- Smoot act as the origin of this world calamity"
 | The president reiterated his ef- forts to restrict immigration, his policies regarding regulation of railroads and other common car- riers, and cited his repeated rec ommendations' for regulation of interstate power.
 q have opposed and will con- tinue to oppose" he said, the fed eral government, going into the | power business the democratic candidate says he will preserve the great water powers. for the people. That is already provided by the law since 1920, and it therefore presents no difficulty to vigorous campaign promises"
 | The president struck at his oppo- nent's declarations regarding for eign loans, and challenged theii sincerity with the charge that Roosevelt had been engaged in the business of floating such loans with the American people.
 "It>is obvious" he said, "that he now considers all foreign loans are wrong. He seems to consider the selling of foreign bonds in oul country to be wicked and the cause of our calamities. One interesting
 part of this tirade is that I have
 never been engaged in the selling of foreign bonds or foreign loans The governor has the advantage oi | me in experience in that particular
 "As late as 1928, the governor
 was engaged in that business fol
 profit and actively occupied II promoting such loans."
 The president read the forewort
 of a prospectus issued by a com
 pany with which, he said, Governoi
 Roosevelt had been associated.
