Opening the final intensive drive for President Hoover’s re-election, an exPresident, Mr. Calvin Coolidge, made his first and probably his only campaign speech at Madison Square Garden to-night. He stressed the sound Conservative policies of the President’s administration, its protection of the value of the dollar and the gold standard against the Democrats’ inflation measures.

He defended Mr. Hoover’s financial relief of corporations, banks and insurance companies, as all designed to relieve the economic distress of the common people.
