PRESIDENTIAL FIGHT. American Candidates Make Final Appeals. DEMOCRATS CONFIDENT. (United P.A.-Electric Telegraph—Copyright) NEW YORK, November 6. The President, Mr. Hoover, yesterday carried his campaign for re-elec-tion at the polls to be taken on Tuesday into the heart of Wisconsin—the home of the progressive Republicans.
Mr. Hoover told the huge audience in the arena at Madison that with the economic advances now in evidence there should be no interruption in the policies that had brought this about.
Describing world conditions the President said his Administration's measures had averted dangers which would have meant tragedy ' for generations. • The records showed that men were returning to work at a rate of 500,000 a month. He asserted that the Republicans' measure 6 were- "winning out."
With a joint call for the election of the Democrat "ticket" the Governor of New York, Mr. Franklin Roosevelt, and Mr. Alfred Smith, ex-Governor, formally closed the Democrats' campaign last evening.
Mr. Roosevelt said he believed the best interests, of the country required a change in the Administration. He said the programme he had laid down was the programme of a party which realised that "every one of our people is entitled to an opportunity to earn a living. This "evening we set our seal upon that programme.
"After Tuesday," said Mr. Roosevelt, "we shall go forward to the great task of its accomplishment, and, we truet, of its fulfilment."
Mr. Smith said the record of the Republican party failed to show that it would be able to give an account, of its stewardship for the last four years.
