PALL, Minn.

Stretching his campaign drive Into Minnesota, Pres. Hoover Saturday night asserted that the Democratic party was seeking to play upon discontent and was resorting to the oldest trick In politics by stimulating a protest vote. Renewing his plea that Republican economic policies be sustained, the chief executive declared that Democratic victory at next Tuesday's polls would mean at least a year must elapse before the Democrats could "validate their promises and their new deal. Mr. Hoover departed from his text here to denounce assertions he said were being made by Democrats that he was not an American citizen.

The president called attention to placards he said had been distributed, asserting he was not a citizen. He said the charge was based on inclusion of his name on a voters roll in London which was automatically, taken from the tax list because he rented a house there. Mr. Hoover said this long circuitous route had been taken to prove the charge, which though publicly condemned over and over, was again printed in this campaign. Pres.

Hoover required a little more than an hour to deliver his address, and left immediately for his train which will carry him to his home in Palo Alto for election day. Speeds -Through Wisconsin The President brought his campaign to a near climax before this Minnesota audience after a swift all-day swing through Illinois and Wisconsin, including Madison. Only two more speeches are on his program before he casts his ballot at Palo Alto, next Tuesday. Riding in an open car. Pres.

Hoover headed a parade through downtown St. Paul streets, arranged for his coining by Minnesota Republicans. A company of Minnesota national guardsmen preceded the President and as the automobile procession moved along there were mingled beers and boos, with silence on the part of many of the watchers over part of the way. The President arrived at 8:16 p. m.

and was greeted by Atty. Gen. W. D. Mitchell, who had come home to vote and Frank B.

Kellogg, former secretary of State. Loud cheers greeted the President as he left the train. Booed by Veterans At-about the half way mark of ilia parade from the union railway depot to a hotel, a large group with placards indicating membership in Rank and File, an outgrowth of the bonus march on Washington, provided a chorus of boos. This group was equipped with artificial noise makers. Hearing them, a number of watchers further down the line retorted with a chorus of cheers in an effort to offset the boos.

Folire estimated the crowd in downtown was in excess of 50,000. The auditorium with seats for persons was filled.

Upon what does Mr. Hoover base his assumption of infallibility? Does his record show that he is the superman of the day? What is there in the last four years that shows Hoover to be the Moses that will lead the people out of the wilderness? He led us in is he the only man that can lead us out?

RAGSDALE (Associated Press Staff Writer) NEW YORK. (VP) With a call for every group of citizenry to rally behind the Democratic program, Franklin D.

Roosevelt Saturday night ended the campaign he opened in Chicago's stadium more than three months ago. Speaking at a rally that brought Tammany out in full force to join in a yelling, whistling, flag-waving demonstration that sent echoes climbing high up to the flat roof of Madison Square Garden when he and Alfred E. Smith walked up on the stage, the Democratic candidate said that every sign pointed to a change of administration. Nine-Minute Demonstration For nine minutes he and Smith stood there, thousands of flags fluttered, waves or cheers cme rolling up tumultuously to the stage, and paper came fluttering down from the high galleries as New York loosed a wild demonstration in their honor. Gov.

Roosevelt said the Democratic program which he had outlined in a series of speeches' during his campaign travels from coast to coast was the spontaneous expression of the aspirations of millions of individual men and women. Cites One Great Principle Tonight, we set the seal upon that program, he said. "After Tuesday we go forward to the great task of its accomplishment and, we trust, to its fulfillment. "There ran be only one great principle to guide our course In the eoming years. We have learned the lesson that extravagant advantage for the few ultimately depresses the many.

To our cost we have seen how as the foundations of the false structure are undermined all come down together. We must put behind us the idea that an uncontrolled, unbalanced economy, creating paper profits for a relatively small group, means or ever can mean prosperity. Find Common Ground Mr. Roosevelt said that the hopes and ambitions that had struggled for realization on farms, in cities, in factories. among business men and in the homes had found at length a eom-mon meeting ground in the Democratic program.

All of you. in all places, in all wdlks of life, have joined in proving that only by a true conception of tlie intcr-dependence of the American economic system can there be hope of safety and security for all, he said. "I prefer to remember It as a hard-fought campaign. There can be no bit where the only sole thought Is the welfare of America. Charges False Gods It is with spirit and in this spirit that I close the campaign.
