buke Of an hOnest-minded and
! thinking electorate"
Turning to the topics which
most interest this section Of the
country, Mr.. Hoover denounced
Governor Roosevelt for his eva
sions on the subjects of beet sugar
tariff and silver.
He reiterated the statement he
made last night at Denver to the
effect that duty-free sugar from
the Philippines should be scaled
downward and observed:
"The only occasion upon
which the Democratic candi-
date has expressed himself
! upon any particular schedule
! Of the tariff was in q COM
: municatiOn through the Cuban
j press to express his sympathy
! for the Cuban ambition to re-
move the tariff on. sugar.
'He Ought To Know"
"I might further call atten'
tion to the explanation given,
, when confronted with the
query as to whether this
meant he would remove the
! sugar tariff, that he would not
discuss any particular schedule.
The same reply was made
/, when he was asked about the
(, tariff which today is the sole
! protection Of your cattle and
sheep industry.
"NOw, I submit that If any
man is competent to discuss
, the protective tariff, he must
know whether the different
schedules are too high or too
low.
81 do not need to reiterate
! that stand fIatly for the pro-
! tective tariff. 1 stand for the
! protective tariff which means
/ always the preservation Of the
! American market for the Amer
| lean producer. Further, I
stand for the speedy repair Of
the breaches in its walls which
have been made by the depre-
citation of foreign currencieS."
Praise for SmOOt
At this point. the President
paid tribute to Senator Smoot
for having led the fight to take
tariff out Of log-rolling.'"
On the subject of depressed sill
yer, President Hoover called the
attention of the Western States
to the fact that his was "the
only Administration in 80 years
which has won for you the con
Sideration of this question by the
nations of the world"
Calling attention to this coun
.try's participation in the forth
coming world economic confer
ence, the President said:
81 stipulated as q condition
8 of American entry into that
! conference that there should
!; be considered also the methods
\ for the restoration of the use
and price of silver as q full
/ part in that conference. That
was finally accepted. I have
/ given assurances to the people
, ,Of the inter-mOuntain region
that / shall appoint a repre-
j sentative on the American dele
/, cation who will carry their
] point Of view to that conference.
ONE STANDARD BACKED
Increase in the value Of sill
yer would relieve us from
strains Of cheap production of
goods which flow over our bOr-
ders; it would rehabilitate the
buying power of many foreign
nations for our goods.
We have long since deter
mined that there can be but
one standard of monetary value,
hut yet we should restore silver
to greater use for subsidiary
coinage and other purposes in
those countries which tradi-
;Gi0nally have used IL and to
do it without undermining the
gold standard.
y. ut thus becomes a problem
which cannot be solved with.

PEACE AIM PLEDGED
In conclusion, the President
said: -
'"And IL it shall be the will of
this nation that for another
four years I shall continue to
Head in the execution of their
Z purposes, they may be assured,
both by the pledge of past en-
/ deavOr and by my solemn pledge
J for future endeavOr, and by the
! further knowledge of my per
sOnal conviction and deep emo
tiOn on the subject, that then
I for yet another four years this
