these years one figure has stood out
calm and unafraid-Herbert Hoover"
Dollar Still Sound.
Moscrip said the principles Of Amer
lean Government "have not been al
tered In the slightest degree" and we're
as sound as in washington and Lin
coins time.
THE American dollar is worth 100
cents everywhere in the world today,
the chairman said Here in the Twin
Cities we are still faced with a problem
in parking our automobiles.
Herbert Hoover has been perform
err" Moscrip continued I'VE can look
around the world and see what well
might have been our conditions II des-
tiny had not placed him in the White
House. The fate of Northwest agri-
culture rests with him. He has said
he stands squarely for protective
tariff. A competitive tariff means dis
aster for the Northwest.
AS he took his place before the
speakers stand the President smiled
and then held out his hands to quiet
the applause.
The Chief Executive began imme-
diately reading his prepared address
which he completed just before the
train arrived, keeping his eyes on the
manuscript on a stand in front OF him
Sees Old Trick Used.
Asserting the Democrats had resorted
ito the Oldest trick Of politics by stim-
ulating a protest vote" the President
turned his eyes to the audience and
said: This is playing politics WITH
human misery"
AS the President talked, Mrs. Hoover
dressed in brown as usual, sat with her
bouquet in her lap and listened in
tently.
Telling Of the world disturbance, with
its spreading fears, the President again
departed from his text to say, "and yet
the American dollar rings true on every
money counter Of the world"
In accordance with his usual Gus
tom, Mr.. Hoover spoke without gestures,
letting his hands rest on the speakers
stand or at his side. Shifting his weight
from one foot to the other, he seemed
tired after his three successive days OF
campaigning through eight States.
Replying to the statement he said
"one OF the eminent orators OF the
Democratic party" uttered last night
that success of the Republicans would
be followed by mob disturbances, the
President again irterpolated 70 say:
Thank God. we still have a govern
ment in Washington that knows how
to deal with a mob" The audience
cheered his remark.
Applause Is Frequent.
Although the crowd frequently inter-
rupted with applause. its reactions were
far different from those Of the Chief
Executives audience last night in St
Louis. where yells and shouts came in
termittently from all over the hall.
Mr.. Hoovers voice came through the
loud-speaker system loud enough TO be
heard throughout the vast hall. but the
words were rather indistinct. as though
the system was not adjusted properly
The audience seemed to catch his
thoughts. however.
Summing up the effect Of what he
called his reconstruction measures,
the President interpolated to say 1.-THE
people have been protected and that
is the reason for our avoidance of what
has happened in practically every Euro
pean country
Discussing what he said were evil
dences of the Nations recuperation. the

Departs From Text.
Listing what he called the 'destruc-
tive" legislation proposed by the Demo.
crats in the last session OF Congress
the President left his text again to say
Most Of these measures did not get
through. I need not tell you that"
Mr. Hoover was departing from his
text more frequently than usual.
He interpolated when he said that a.
late as last night Gov. Roosevelt hac
failed to frankly disavow" the currency
expansion bill passed by the House. anc
added. because that would be dis.
avowal Of mis- companion in the cam.
paign"
When he came to that part Of hi,
text saving The Democrats complain
daily that we do not spend it public
building money fast enough" he
changed his words to The Democratic
candidate COMPLAINS daily that We dc
not spend this money fast enough
This is part Of his economy pro-
gram"
Tires as Speech Ends.
As he reached the latter part of his
address the Chief Executive seemed tc
be tiring His voice was lower and less
forceful and still more difficult te
understand.
1nterpolating again. the President re-
p~ated figures he has given IN previous
speeches comparing the purchasing
power of American with foreign labor
and showing. he said. that the differ
ence In standards Of living due to de-
preciated currcncies were still wider
than four years ago.
Asserting the price Of fax Is y cents
north of the Canadian border and 81 0e
on this side because OF the tariff. the
President said. And these prices are
dstressingly low. but they could be a
good deal lower"
Discussing the use OF personalities
in the campaign. Mr. Hoover inter
polated to say Il dislike this subject in
tensely. but it seems no one else has
the voice to carry it across to the
American people"
Answers Citizenship Charge.
Then interpolating again. the Presi-
dent called attention to placards he
