5 » TEXT OF HOOVER'S LOUISVILLE SPEECH G. 0. P. Nominee Foresees 40,000,000 Votes Cast in Election. By the Assoclated Press. LOUISVILLE, Novémber 2.—Herbert Hoover in the second address here today of his final campaign swing across the country said: “1 am grateful to ous welcome. This re ing with that hospita women for which your city has been known for a hundred years. No one can come within its boundaries without be- ing reminded of that long list of great aders which Kentucky has given to the Nation from Henry Clay to Henry ‘Watterson, “I know the cordial and friendly greeting which you give to me is pot in the spirit of partisanship. In this as- sembly are members of both parties, and it is no little gratification to me that you have taken the time to come to bid me welcome. We are now nearing the close of the campaign. The issues have been thoroughly discussed. Within a few Gays more than 40,000,000 people will go to the polls to express their views as to the character of the Government and the policies they wish to see con- tinued In their countr: Sees 40,000,000 Votes. “There is no other country in the| world where 40,000,000 people on a sin- gle day will go to the ballot box to ex- press their determination. It has never before happened in all history. It is the greatest spectacle and inspiration of self-government the world has ever wi St for your gener- fon is in keep= ty of the men and formerly director of Public Buildings and Grounds of the National Capital. Two brass bands alternated in liven\nx things up. A committee of women came forward and presented to Mrs. Hoover a Rook- wood vase, which she accepted with a few words of thanks, Hoover addressed the throng briefly, expressing his ap- preciation for their bravery in the face of the rain and thanking them for their support. A few moments later the train made another short stop at the Torres Sta- tion in Cincinnati, where the nominee greeted a group of railroad men and other early workers. Train Has Loud Speakers. ‘The Hoover train is equipped with loud speakers, so that audiences as large as 15,000 may be addressed by the nominee without a strain on: his voice. There is a large personal staff to assist “the chief” on his journey including George E. Akerson, a per- sonal assistant, and a corps of stenog- raphers. The 30 or S0 newspaper correspon- dents have a busy time of it, what with dashing back and forth between their cars and the station platforms. Several have narrowly escaped getting left be- hind in the crowds on the platforms. Charles Gridley and Will Collins, liaison officers between the nominee and the press, are given credit for keepin@ the personnel intact. Armory Is Crowded. Because of the inclement weather, the plan to use the front of the court- house for the address was abandoned at the last minute, and the crowd jam- med into the big armory instead. A throng of more than 20,000 persons had pushed into every possible space with- in the vaulted hall, many men perching high on the steel girders of the roof. The audience refused to be quiet as Hoover appeared on the platform, wav- ing thousands of flags and banners and shouting themselves hoarse. Led by an_ expert cheer-leader, the crowd gave three rousing cheers for Mrs. Hoover. « The nominee was presented by Mayor Harrison as “the next President of the United States,” whereupon the noise again broke loose, Hoover was help- less for several minutes in his attempts to make his voice heard. sed. “The American people are meeting the greatest responsibility of government When they resolve to go to the polls and express themselves on election day. The enormous registration which brings this unparalieled vote to the polls is itself expressive of the seriousness of the issues and the earnestness and convic- tion with which our people are meeting them. This evidence of unprecedented interest in the future of the republic must be gratifying to every one who has its welfare at heart. It means more than trfumph of one party over another; it means more than victory of one in- dividual as against another; it means in the end the triumph of that everlast- ing principle of self-government upon which America has grown to the leader- ship of the world. Stresses Increasing Problems. “The relationship of our Government to our people and to all their activities increases day by day. Our relationship with the Trest of the world is vastly ex- panded; our interest in world peace is vastly increased. We deal with vastly more intricate and delicately adjusted business systems than ever before. The licies of our Government bear an ncreasing responsibility for continued national prosperity and national prog- ress, not only moral but spiritual. Upon the soundness of its principles and policies depend not alone the employ- ment and high standards of living of our people, but the peace of the world and the place that America occupies in the world. “The prosperity of Kentucky is com- pletely interdependent on the progress and prospenty of the Nation. The sur- plus of your products must be sold outside your borders. Markets for your products are dependent upon the pros- perity of other States. Helds Country, Prosperous. “Under the administration of the last seven and a haif years our country as 2 whole has made unparalleled progress. Not every group has marched in the front rank, but no man can say that our country is not stronger, that his hopes are not greater than they were seven years ago. The peace of the world has been solidified. We have gained in domestic peace and prosperity. Prosper- ity is no idle expression. The continu- ation of prosperity 1s of vital interest to every worker’s job and to the safety and safeguard of every business and every home. ‘The issues before us are as well as economic. They affect the welfare of every home. The result of the election will affect the direction of our national thought and our national actions for many years to come. “I do mot believe the American peo- Pple, in a time of such manifest evidence of progress, assurance of peace, ad- wvancement of prosperity, advancement of education and moral forces, would wish to change in their policies.” LOUISVILLE GREETS + HOOVER AS CROWDS BRAVE RAINSTORM (Continued From First Page.) boarded by J. Matt Chilton, national committéeman for Kentucky, and Rep- resenfative Robsion, members of the Loulsville reception committee. The pos! r also came out and handed Hoover a batch of mail and an un- identified admirer handed him a silver elephant and an American fiag. Hoover ran into the first bad weather of his campaign during his passage oovernight through 'West Virginia. When ‘e awoke early this morning and looked out the window, he found the rain beating again.. his window and low- hanging clouds blanketing the sky, Drenched Crowd Cheers. He arose shortly after daylight and had scarcely completed his morning gartorial program when the train came to a stop at East Norwood, Ohio. The sound of a band and the cheers of drenched but enthusiastic admirers brought him to the rear platform for an acknowledgment of the greeting. Several hundred umbrella-sheltered, raincoatéed men, women and children yelled their acclaim. When the train, a short while later, pulled into the Winton Place Station at Cincinnati, Hoover again was called to the platform by a crowd numbering several thousand. The dripping Ohioans refused to be discouraged by the rain, Wwhich beat down upon them in terrents. On the reception committee were Col. William Cooper Proctor, Republican Jeader of Ohio; Mayor Murray Zason- good and City Manager C. O. Sherrill, VIAYT On his way from the station to the armory Hoover was acclaimed by thou- sands of citizens who had been unable to get into the hall. Hoover rode in a closed car, with his head bare and his hand waving to those along the curb. Cries of “Hoover” mingled with shouts of admirers and shrieking of hoorns || and fire sirens. Speaks at Cumberland. Hoover sounded the prosperity key- note in his informal address last night before 25,000 Marylanders packed into the station plaza at Cumberland. He stepped from his private car to & spe- cially erected platform on the station lawn, before which spread the vast crowd of men, women and children as. far as the eye could see. As he mounted the platform a band struck up “The Star Spangled Banner” and the throng burst into a mighty cheer. A woman pushed her way to the front and hand- ed Mrs. Hoover a large bouquet of yel- low chrysanthemums. The entire police force seemed to be concentrated between the platform and States,” precipitating another burst of applause that Hoover had difficulty in stemming as he began to speak. Noticing & number of railroad men in the front ranks of his audience, Hoover sald them a compliment for their faith- lul service to the public, and declared that he was “the living example of the care and responsibility of = trainme; having never been in an accident in all . < his journeys. “I have come to think of the strip of railroads across the middle of America as my own main street, on which I make my journeys from my office to own front gate,” he remarked. “The nearest I have ever come to has an accident was during the war, while:.I was on a boat in the North Sea, en route to Belgium. The steward on the boat asked me if I'd mind paying him after each meal, instead of settling the bill at the end of the trip, as usually is done. I told him it was O. K. with me, but asked why he wanted his money &t . explained that 117out of 12 I agreed }'d better pay him.” Hoover drove home to his audience the importance of continued prosperity. and traced the accomplishments of the Republican party in maintaining a high: order of living during the past seven and a half years. He said that when the party came into power, many mil- lions of unemployed walked the street; the people were “discouraged and ap- prehensive of the future.” 4 “A long series of constructive acts not. only restored employment, but has built standards of living and added security ‘There has been a wide diffusion of that wealth amongst our: people.” Cites Growth of: Savings, He pointed out that in seven years the combined assets of life insurance, industrial insurance, building and loan associations and savings banks have nearly doubled, amounting to more than $50,000,000,000—or nearly one-sixth the national wealth, Poverty has been so decreased that there is hope of abolish ing it entirely from Ame: he added: avont “The- Republicass. taking eridly for the incraese in number of school Sho opiiation s, increased. oy 1o \C! y in eight years, grade school attendance has increased by 14 per cent, high school attendance, 80 per cent, and college attendance by 95 per cent.- “1 'cannot believe the American people wish to abandon those policies of Government which have been main- tained by the Republican party, and without which the results so amazing and so stimulating to the spiritual as well as to the material advance of the Nation would not have beén possible,” he said. “The Republican party has given an tion which protected and upheld these results. I am fident the American people wish it tinued.” The crowd roared its approval, as flashlights boomed and cameras clicked. Mr. and Mrs. Hoover walked to the edge of the plaform and waved their appreciation so that all might see them. Staring the party in the face at a nearby lumber yard was a large sign with the inscription, “We furnished the plank for the Hoover platform.” Hoover responded briefly to the vo- ciferous greetings of crowds at Bruns- con- con- lb“’!:&) ¢ Announces ‘A SPECIAL ELECTION, NIGHT In All the SERVICE | : Dining Rooms TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6 te From 6:00 P.

He readily complied with the request and Mrs. Hoover even joined in initialing one of them. Hoover was in the best of spirits when his long special train pulled out of Union Station yesterday afternoon. He was highly amused by the remark of eight-year-old Fred Akerson, son of George Akerson, Hoover’s personal as- sistant, who yelled to his father as the train started moving, “Bring me back a President, daddy.” “I'll do that thing,” Akerson shout- back. Mr. and Mrs. Hoover retired early last night, as the train swung through West Virginia.

MRS. SMITH FACES MOVING PROBLEM Whether Victorious or De- feated, Governor Must Leave Albany Mansion. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, November 2.—The problems of moving a large household next month faces Mrs. Alfred E. Smith when she returns to Albany after next Tuesday, either as the First Lady of the Land to be or merely as the wife of. the outgoing Governor of New York. “Rest; that's the first thing I am going to do after the election is over,” said Mrs. Smith when asked about her plans after her campalgning days are over. “And after that I have to get to work and move from the executive mansion. I feel that we ought to be pretty well cleaned out long before the first of the year, to let the other people come. We can't be selfish, you know. Whoever follows us must have some time to get settled in their new home.” Many Personal Effects. The mansion in Albany, she said, is furnished by the State, but the long residence of the governor with his large family has given time for Mrs. Smith to fill the large, rambling rooms with many things of her own, all of which must be packed and ready to be moved —where Mrs. Smith does not know. “And I don't care very much, just as long as the governor will be there,” she added. She will spend election day and night at the side of her husband. She wil accompany him to the polls, where both will cast their votes, and she will be with him all day as he divides his time between national Democratic headquar- ters in the General Motors building and his suite at the Biltmore Hotel, 1 AN _\t ,, \ R\ The Bearly that great big, luxuriously warm Camel’s Hair Coat—tailored for us at Fashion Park—and exclusive with us!

Telegraph Lines Installed. Mrs. Belle Moskowitz, national di- recu;; o{ hxiubwty for the mocntllcl presidential campaign, sald special telegraph wires would be installed in the governor’s office at headquarters, and that she expected the governor and Mrs. Smith would spend part of the day there. Mrs. Smith was the guest of honor at a reception given by the women of Brooklyn this afternoon, as a prelude to the speech Gov. Smith will deliver there tomorrow night. The party was in the form of an at-home, at which Mrs, William H. Good, who was a dele- gate-at-large at the Houston conven- tion, and who is leader of the woman Democrats of Brooklyn, presided.
