Frustrated in their initial endeavor to storm .

shouting "we don't want Hoover," at the top
of their voices, surged outside the hall in a dis
orderly and noisy fashion. The throng, which numbered per- J
haps between 1500 and 2000 was led to the very doors of the
auditorium by Edgar D. Bush, formerly lieutenant governor of l
mdiRnn and now the republican candidate tor that oftice, siss
on-rolling column of protesters swarmed right up to the front ';
