Mr.. Hoover said this "1ong circuitious
route" had been taken to prove the

printed in this campaign"
President Hoover required a little

Speaks in Madison.
President Hoover early today hit out
at the law enforcement administration
Of Gov. Roosevelt in New York, telling
throng at Madison, Wis, he felt the
Democratic nominee might have made
a contribution to the solution Of the
gangster problem.
The Chief Executive delivered his
first major address Of the day at the
Wisconsin capital as he campaigned on
his way across that State after leaving
Illinois
To an audience that jammed the big
field house Of the University OF Wis
consin, the President declared that law
lessness and crime have unquestionably
grown in the country
He declared himself against placing
upon the Federal Government the bur
den of restra lining law violations be-
cause Of the failure of some States and
municipalities to give proper function
! to these responsibilities. The gangster
problem in some States and cities he
characterized particularly as one OF the
dangerous elements to "the whole OF
our civilization"
Hits Roosevelt on Crime.
"It would seem that the Governor OF
New York who is a candidate for the
presidency of the United States" ne
continued, might have made contrl-
button in these last three years to the
solution of this gang life, under the
great powers conferred and the obliga-
tions bestowed by the Constitution and
the laws Of his own State"
Throughout most Of the day as he ap-
peared before audience after audience
along the route of his train, Mr.. Hoover
employed the Republican tariff and his
administrations reconstruction efforts
as his campaign weapons.
At almost every stop he spoke OF the
evidence now to be seen at every hand
concerning the Nations economic march
forward. Time and again he aged that
the strategy and policies that brought
about this rise be continued unbroken.
During an early morning stop ne
told a crowd that spread Tar over the
station platform at Rockford, Ill, that
the results of the Republican reconstruc-
ton program began TO grow fruit almost

Tariff Declared Vital.
There and again at Belolt, after cross
ing the Wisconsin line, he asserted that
"the very lives of your industries and
the maintenance of your jobs depended
upon the protective tariff"
Hurrying on in order to avoid falling
behind schedule, as happened yesterday
when Mr. Hoover went of the air at
St Louis before he finished speaking.
the presidential train on two occasions
started while the Chief Executive was
in the midst OF his rear platform
speeches.
At Madison the presidential party was
met by its biggest crowd Of the day.
The three-mile route past the State
capitol building TO the University Of
| Wisconsin campus was lined almost
solidly with spectators A 2lgun salute
was given the President from the cam
pus, crowded with foot ball fans on

homecoming game with Illinois, and an
organized cheer greeted him in the field
house.
Cites Duty Of State.
Mr.. Hoover spoke first Of the funda-
mentals for which America stands.
Then turning to law violation and en-
| forcement he asserted that the respon-
sibihty for the control OF crime rests
emphatically upon the States and the
local communities.
Il think you are all conscious" he
said, "of the humiliation that comes to
our countrymen when the Federal Gov
ernment must deliberately use the vio
/ lation of the income tax laws in order
to curb these criminals who are uncon-
trolled unprosecuted and unconvlcted
by the States and municipalities"
After asking that delay in economic
recovery be avoided by any change in
politics and strategies he closed his ad-
dress by saying.
Il have made no endeavor to appeal
to emotion but l have made an en-
deavor to appeal to reason. l have
fixed my faith upon the logical conclu-
sions of thoughtful people
