ABOARD PRESIDENT HOOVER'S
CAMPAIGN SPECIAL EN- ROUTE TO
CALIFORNIA, November 7.-As his
campaign draws to a close, President
Hoover is absolutely certain Of the
economic recovery of this country. He
is equally certain he will be the victor
at the polls on Tuesday.
There is not the slightest doubt
about either. in his own mind, in the
opinion of all those who have talked
with him aboard his train as it speeds
through the corn and wheat country
of the West on its way to mis- home in
Palo Alto, Calf. where he will cast his
ballot election day and where, as he ex-
pressed it, he will catch up on some
lost sleep.
Unless something unforeseen inter-
venes, Mr.. Hoover does not expect the
coming Winter to be as gloomy and
black as has been feared, but on the
contrary, it vii! be notably lighter than
last Winter, his advices convince him.
The President has every confidence
in the welfare agencies throughout the
country, and he knows now of no one
actually being deprived Of food and
shelter. This Frightening in the
economic situation he expects to be
reflected at the polls
Mr.. Hoover feels that the people of
the country are obtaining better
grasp on the situation, that they are
giving plenty Of thought to the actual
conditions and outlook and that they
will have faith in the country and in
him. He has seen evidences of re-
cCvery in eyerv quarter of the country
and he feels that the people are begin
ming to realize all this.
The Presidents confidence in his re-
election is based Largely en- his belief
that the electorate has been doing much
thinking during the past few weeks
that they are row realizing tha: nei her
he nor the Republican party has been
responsible for the depression.
He believes, also. that the people are
accepting his view that the Democratic
program has been based on misstate-
ments concerning the cause Of the de-
preston, and that Therefore the Demo-
cratic campa gn has fallen fat with this
awakening of the people.
We VIII Garry the Country.
The President received numerous men
and women of local political prominence
during his travels through Nebraska and
Colorado. He let them do the talking
He wanted to learn what they thought
CT the economic and the political situa-
tionS and he was all attention. AL
though he said little during any CT these
interviews, it was significant that his
parting wards when shaking hands with
callers and receiving their wishes for
good luck Tue-day, we're: "Tharks. We
will carry the country
There was no uncertainty in either his
look or his words. To some with whcm
he talked he expressed the conviction
that the tide has turned. He mentioned
having received numerous polls, particu-
larly in the Midwest, since he started on
this final campaign trip, and these, he
said, show sharp Republican gains.
Besides preparing speeches and dellv-
ering them, and bowling to crowds at the
stations and shaking hands with visit
ing local political Leaders. Mr.. Hoover,
throughout this last swing, has been
kept posted on the trend of political al
fairs. He has insisted that he be kept
advised of everything relating to the
fortunes of his campaign.
Moreover, he has watched very care
