FREE CONGRESS
URGED BY HOOVER
$500 Hear Plea to Liberate
Body From Domination of
a Seeker of Power.

By the Associated Press.
HARTFORD. Conn, Oct. 1S.-Her-
bert Hoover appealed today for the
Emancipation" of Congress from the
personal domination" of President
Roosevelt, whom he accused of steady
driving for more and more power over
the daily lives of the people"
The former President, recommend
ing trial for stop, look and listen"
policy for the next two years, urged
American voters to elect independent
minded men" to Congress to halt
experiments with the American way
OF life by the New Deal and Its
yes-yes men" which he said had been
carried on at dreadful cost in human
misery and despair
$500 Hear Talk.
Delivering his only Eastern speech
OF the congressional campaign before
a cheering, applauding audience of
$500 her last night, Mr. Hoover charg-
ed that among sinister aggressions
Of personal power in this republic"
was an attempt by the President Ito
control elections"
The Rebuplioan chieftain accused
Mr.. Roosevelt Of massing ''praetorian
army of political appointees to purge
those men Of his own party who have
shown sparks of manhood, of inde-
pendence, and obedience to their
oaths."
This, he said, 'goes to the very core
OF the right of the people to choose
their own representatives. 1t goes to
the whole question of the independ-
ence of the ballot itself. 1t goes to
the foundation of personal power in
this republic"
Never a Greater Need
Warning that "subservience in leg
islative halls is the spot where liberty
and political morals commit suicide"
Mr.. Hoover asserted that If freedom
Is to reign on this continent the
American people have to attend to it
themselves"
Never before in. all American his
tory has there been a greater need for
the people to protect themselves" he
said.
And it is in the power Of the peo-
pie to do it now. They alone can
make Congress the sword and buckler
Of their liberties"

Only two days remain before the
opening of the Inter American Horse
Show and still there's no cup on exhi-
bition for the international military
team competition-all because the
Belgians apparently forgot
The Belgian officers won the big
silver trophy in last years competition
and were so pleased with the award,
they asked that they be ollowed to take
it across the Atlantic to display to
the home folks
1t was explained that the cup, ac-
cording to the rules, was to remain in
the hands Of the Show Committee to
be placed on exhibition prior to each
show, but that if the winners would
get the award back here in plenty
of time for this years competition
the request would be granted.
The Belgian team did not enter
this years show and officials became
a trife uneasy about a month ago
when no cup had been received and
cabled to Belgium through the EN-
bassy here. But no cup arrived
They've continued to cable and still
no cup. So the show might begin at
Meadowbrook Thursday without the
regular trophy for the winning inter-
national team
