Coolidge, making his second spoken appeal in his successor's behalf, urged voters to cast their ballots the rule of "common sense." Coolidge Talks "All the teachings of common sense," he said, ''require us to re elect President Hoover." The former President asserted that if five Ameri cans were selected today to devise remedies for present conditions, Mr.

Hoover would head the list, and that if 10 international figures were chosen for the same reason the same would be among them. "The name of no other Presidential candidate would be considered," he added. The window shades of the Presi dent's improvised broadcasting car were pulled down, and only a small and select audience sat inside while the President talked Into a row of microphones much the same as those before him on a public platform. A row of brilliant headlights had been hung by photographers across the roof of the car directly overhead but by his order they were turned oft while he spoke. He for pictures after the conclusion of his address.

Near the outset of his address, Mr. Hoover reiterated to his audience that half a million men are returning to work each month, and that the meas ures adopted by his administration "are now demonstrating their strength and effectiveness." "We have again resumed the road toward prosperity," he asserted. The President's address was briefer and gave less mention of the Democratic party than those he has delivered elsewhere in traveling more than 10,000 miles during the past month. "I am speaking this last word of the campaign from the train en route to my home town," the President began. "We have been through an arduous campaign.

It has been almost unique as a campaign of education in great domestic and inter national problems which have arisen out of events of the past 15 years. wish to emnhasize that treatest function of the American citizen, the one which each of us should perform tomorrow. The ballot is that most sacred and individual act which pre serves the great system of self government which we have inherited and should carry forward at any cost." Toward the close of his address Mr. Hoover made a plea that the men and women who have supported the Republican party over many years be not "led astray by false gods arrayed in the rainbow colors of promises." Before beginning his radio address, the Chief Executive added another fi.YOZAN'S I 643 Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday THIS COUPON AND Will purchase a Genuine $3.00 Traveler Pen and Pencil Set.

MORE ON Hoover Warns (Continued From Pare One) rear platform appearance to the dozens he has made since his train left the national capital last Hairs day. With Senator Oddie of Nevada beside him, the President urged those gathered about his train at Elko to return him to Washington. He said the senator' had been "misrepre sented" by his opponents upon some issues, among the silver question, The Presidential train made fewer stops today as it rolled across Wyo ming and Utah than in any other similar period of Mr.

Hoover's cam paign trip. During an hour and a half halt at Salt Lake City shortly after noon the Chief Executive asserted in his semi final campaign address that the Democratic leaders had based part of their campaign upon an assumption that "the American oeople were an ignorant people." This phase of their campaign, he said, has been "exploded." Given a protracted ovation as he entered the big Mormon tabernacle there, in which he spoke, Mr. Hoover drew the crowd to its feet, cheering, when he paid tribute to Senator Smoot of Utah, who stood beside him. The President's plans for his homecoming tomorrow to cast his ballot took more definite shape during the day as he sped throuah the moun tainous country between him and the west coast. Scheduled to arrive in Oakland shortly after 11 a.

m. (Pacific time) tomorrow he will reach San Francisco, across the bay, by neon and then take part in a parade formed at the ferry building that will have its route up Market street to the civic centr. After a brief stop at his Palo Alto home he will go to the Stanford university campus to cast his ballot. Whether the voting returns that will come into his home shows him the winner or the loser, Mr. Hoover plans to rest about a week at Palo Alto and unless some, emergency should arise that would call him back to Washington.

Meteorologists encountered considerable difficulty in charting its probable course. STORM DANGER THREATENS CUBA HAVANA, Nov.

7 The national observatory announced today that a tropical disturbance about 10d miles northeast of Cape Gracias a Dios, Nicaragua, was moving to the northwest, but had slowed up its speed somewhat, Indicating a possibility that the course might be changed to the north. The danger so far. as Cuba was concerned was considered most grave in the zone from Camaguey to the west. There was a slight possibility that Orient province might be hit, although this was considered unlikely. An earlier bulletin from the observatory said that in the event the storm followed a normal course, it might head for the Yucatan channel and blow itself out in the Gulf of Mexico.

The lateness of the season made it difficult to chart the disturbance. V. S.
