The message said statisticians of
the First National bank of Boston

industries to show a gain of 9 per
cent, in September over August, cen
tered principally in the textile and

As this special train moved across
Nebraska and into Colorado yesterday
Mr. Hoover spoke formally before a
throng at Omaha estimated by mem
bers of his 'party' as 16,000 and again
at Denver before a press of people
estimated by police at 25,000.
in both addresses, as in other pnei
rear platform speeches en route, he
foreswore direct political talk.. At
Denver last night from a platform
in front of the station, he said:
"It would not be proper on this
eaquatn day to enter upon a discus-
sion or political issues.. Sunday is
provided as a day of rest. - I have
certainly been engaged In hard labor
and I am thankful for the sabbath
day." , '

with a band and cheered when Mr.
Hoover appeared and waved.
During the ffty yesterday White
Houso aids distributed a formal text
of words the chief executive added to
his address at St. Paul Saturday night
after he had concluded his prepared
manuscript.
In his first campaign Invasion of
Minnesota, lie asserted that' the
Democratic party has been "playing
politics with human misery," and had
resorted "to the oldest trick of poli
tics oy stimulating- a protest- vote
In trmt ad(id.ess he summed -up his
nrevlous discussion of camnalcn Is-'
sues,
listed ai measures adopted
by his administration to aid economic
recovery and declared- a Democratic
victory Tuesday would moan that "at
least a year must elapse" before the
Democrats could "validate their
promises and their new deal."
Fears Collapse of Nation
Ho characterized some of the tariff
statements of Democratic leaders- as'
an "unspeakable1 travesty on reason"
and asserted that If the "Democratic
program" evolveci during the last
session of congress was enacted the
nation would "collapse."
Tho chief executive was met with
a chorus of "boos as he drove to tho
St. Paul coliseum to deliver his ad

There were cheers on. the streets
also and a thunderous four-minute
ovation for him inside the coliseum.

i "I could not well be classed as a
politician because of the fact that I
have never, with one small exception,
been a candidate for public office; but
I believe that-the sturdy background
of the American : people whose' ances
try was from strong, ambitious, cour-f
ageouti and industrious folk who de
pended upon their own. Ingenuity In

their families In a new world, makes

; find that citizens in every walk of
i life realize that there, must be a
! change in our' methods of transoct-
ing public affairs Jf we are to con
tinue as a nation. - To so continue
wo must have patriotism, and patriot
ism is based primarily -upon the loy
alty of the citizen to his home and

"To give him this lovaltv he must
have a sense of ownership and. se

ditjohs are fast rendering- people, of

no nation can control its affairs
that cannot control its financial sys
tem and the happenings of the past
two years in the various parts of tho
country have demonstrated that the
present' financial system has brdken
down. The people of-our generation
will not, during our. lifetime, - have
confidence In any of the so-called In
stitutions - .provided for savings and
Investment of money, and without:
such Institutions money.- cannot.. be
kept In circulation. , The . primary
function of money is that It- Bhall

fill this function It must necessarllr

I am, tonight suggesting a remedy
that has met with the. approval of
national farm labor and business or
ganizations and which has been suc
cessful In many other countries
where bank failures are practically
unknown. It Is this, that If I am
elected to congress I Bhall Immedi
ately Introduce a bill providing for
tho extension of the facilities of the
Postal Savings bank so that that In
stitution will bo ennblcd to carry
on tho ordinary business of 'banking
with checking and deposit facilities
now furnished by private banks. This
would make the postal department of
tho government the basis of all bank
ing. "You understand that In the theory
of government tho coinage of money
and Its circulation aro primarily gov
ernmental functions and this was rec
ognized by the early fathers when
they wroto the constitution,-but for
eign bankers, with the assistance of
Alexander Hamilton, prevailed upon
congress to form, an Institution
which was known as tho Bank of the
United States. This1 was privately
owned and for the life of Its charter
whlolt was twenty years, it controlled
tho circulation of money throughout
tho country." This Institution was
vigorously opposed at the time of Its
Inception and at the time they de
sired to have the charter renowed, by
such eminent' men as Jefferson, Jack
son and Webster and not i until the
Civil war were the International bank
ers able to again fix their tentacles
upon tho 'American people- -The ex
igencies of that time and the neces
sity of prosecuting the war compelled
congress to again acquiesce in the
bankers demands with the result that
tho Bo-called national banking act
was passed, the law under which the
so-called -national banks-of today are
conducted, . or I might say in many
Instances, 'as they were conducted.'

first class nation that has not con

exclusively In "the hands of private
individuals. This Includes the fed
