SALT LAKE CITY, Utah. November
1.-THE text of President Hoovers ad'
dress here:
This is by no means my first ap.
pearance in Salt Lake City. I came
from the West and one Of my first
professional engagements was the re-
sponsibility of carrying a chain anc
driving stakes on ditch line in this
State
1t has been a great relief and stimu-
lation in the last two days to come
back to the West, where 1 was born
and raised. SO 1 do not come to your
State as a stranger.
We are going through an emergency
| unparalleled in peace-tinle history OF
our country. The first great stake in
this election and one which should give
the deepest concern to every citizen is
| to save the principles on which this
Nation was founded and has grown
great The Republican administration
has held that its first obligation as a
party ''of the people, by the people
and for the people" has been to pre-
serve the fundamentals of the Republic.
| We have refused to adopt any Of the
evaSions and resorts Of the scores of
| other nations who have been precipi-
| tated into this crisis as the result of
| the World War We have in no way
! countenanced the curtailnent Of pub
| lie or private liberties. Thus We shall
| find when the emergency is passed. our
governmental. social and economic
structure is functioning as before And
even at political cost to ourselves We
must preserve those precious forces
which have builded up this Republic
over $50 years.
Liberty Held Secure.
In no community today is there any
| lessening of ordered liberty, of vitality,
of initiative, of individual enterprise, or
| sense of responsibility Of the community
,, or of the responsibilities of the States,
upon all of which our Republic is
! based
The second duty with which we were
| confronted was to recognize honestly
| the forces moving against us and to
| give them battle with all the reserve
| powers of the Federal Government, to
protect our people where they were un-
able to protect themselves, by strength
ening the State, the municipality or the
institution.
There is nothing more difficult than
to face the facts unflinchingly. Nor
could we afford to look at them through
eyes colored by political interest. There
is nothing more difficult in times of
emergency than to say No" to anxious
people when Yes" would give momen-
tary satisfaction. and yet would under
mine the stability of the Nation, which
is their fundamental security.
We have provided a series of meas
ures unprecedented in the history of
the Republic. In all these measures We
have preserved the recognition of the
responsibility of the States, local COM
munities, private institutions and in
dividual citizens. These have been tre-
mendous undertakings and instrument
talities, unparalleled in our history
They have carried us through a crisis
which. without these actions, would
have left the Republic with a gener-
alton of chaos.
Delay Laid to Democrats.
These measures and weapons were
| created not only for defense in a great
battle with invading forces, but they
were built also for purposes of counter
attacks. We were delayed in this coun-
| ter-attack for four months by the de-
structive attitude of the Democratic
House of Representatives which pro-
posed day by day measures which
pandered to sectional and group inter-
estS in preparation for this political
campaign. These obstructive actions
themselves destroyed public confidence.
We thus were fighting not only on
the front preserving the Republic, but
fghtlng an irresponsible enemy on our
flank. 1t was not until we had de-
feated the flank attack that we were
able to concentrate on the front line of
battle and carry the front line trenches.
We are moving forward today. A mil
in, Ir
restored to their normal jobs Our
agencies repor' that they are being
taken back at the rate Of 100000
month. So great has been the trans
formation in certain centers that in the
great City of st. Louis, where they had
secured from the Reconstruction Cor
poration large loan to care for the
destitute, they are surrendering most of
the loans. With magnificent sense of
courage and community spirit and in
dividual responsibility, they announce
that they now can take care of their
own because of the increasing number
of men returning to employment. I
have Just received telegram showing
that employment and business in New
England. after deducting all seasonal
factors. increased nearly 10 per cent in
the last four months.
AnalyZes Farm Crisis.
1 regret that agriculture has been
tagging behind industry in this march
of recovery. The reasons are: First,
because its domestic market must be re-
established by the unemployment of
men: second. because we have met
new blow by depreciation of currencies
I in 80 governments which have collapsed
under the strain from the aftermath of
the great war. Their urrencies have
deprecated all the way from 10 to so
per cent and depreciation of currency
means reduction of wages and of stand
ards of living 1t has further increased
| their capacity to compete with our
farmers. It has created breaches in the
protective tariff wall which protected
our people Our first duty now is to
repair this breach in order that agri-
culture might march forward with in
dustry That we shall do, eithe~ through
! the flexible provisions. or. If Necessary.
| through legislation. We propose to pre-
serve the American market for the
American farmer.
| I need not explain to you the prin-
ciples of the protective tariff nor how
depen' ont the intermountain States
are on its maintenance. Nor do I need
to point out to you that the only oc-
casion upon which the Democratic
candidate has expressed himself On any
particular schedule Of the tariff was in
a communication to the Cuban press
to express his sympathy for the Cuban
