Says Democratic
Plan Would Break
Down Government

ovation that filled the great spaces
of Madison Square Garden with a
deafening din that died down only
when Senator Hebert (Rep. r. Isl
began to introduce Mrs. Theodore
Roosevelt, widow of the former presi-
dent. who in turn presented Hoover.
Before the chief executive could
begin his speech, an excited man
shouted down from one of the big
balconies, you're a liar" He repeat
ed it over and over until those near
him, and half dozen police mauled
him and dragged him out of the
Garden.
Telling his audience "this philoso-
ply upon which the governor of New
Yo.k proposes to conduct the presi-
dency of the United States IS the
philosophy of stagnation, of despair, "
the president listed eight proposals
OF our opponents that will endanger
or destroy our system"
Contest of PHILOSOPHERS
This campaign" Hoover said, lis
more than contest between two men.
1t is more than contest between two
parties. 1t is a contest between two
PHILOSOPHERS of government.
I'VE are told by the opposition that
We must have a change, that We must
have new deal. It is not the change
that comes from normal development
of national life to which I object. but
the proposal to alter the whole foun-
dat;ons of our national life which
have been builded through genera
tions of testing and struggle, and OF
the principles upon which we have
builded the nation"
Hoover said in considering what
the Democrats are proposing I'VE must
20 deeper than platitudes and emo
tional appeals of the public platform
in the campaign and study their
records and look into the type OF
leaders campaigning for the Demo-
cratic ticket.
Referring to the latter the chief
executive said Il can respect the sim
; cerity of these men in their desire to
change our form of government and
our social and economic system,
though I shall do my best tonight to
prove they are wrong"
The crowd booed, as the president
added:
Il refer particularly to Senator
Norris; Senator La Toilette, Senator
Cutting, Senator Huey Long, Senator
Wheeler, William r. Hearst, and 9TH
er opponents of social philosophy
different from the traditional Ameri-

support to their ideas" he continued,
they certainty would not be support
ing these candidates and the Demo-
cratic party. The zeal of these men
indicates that they have sure conf
dence that they will have voice IN
the administration OF our govern
ment."
Continuing, the president said the
changes proposed by the Democratic
principals and allies are OF the most
profound and penetrating character.
Let us pause FOR moment and
examine the American system OF gov
eminent, of social and economic LIE
which it is now proposed that we
should alter" he added. "Our sys-
tenn is the product Of our race and
of our experience IN bulldlng ma
ton to heights unparalleled In the
whole history of the world.
1T is a system peculiar to the
American people. 1t differs essen
