"OLD PARTY LINES GONE"
NEWLY-ELECTED PRESIDENT OF FRANCE
Ex-Kood Administrator Declared
to Be Best Qualified of Men
to Succeed Wilson.
Or.EGON'IAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Jan. 21. Under the flaring
heading, "Hoover for President." th
New York World today came out In
a three-colufnn double-leaded edito
rial declaring: for Herbert C. Hoover
as a candidate for president on any
ticket. Both statesmen and politi
cians were startled by the boldness
of the World's declaration, and par
ticularly with the closing sentence,
which said:
"He is the kind of man that ought
to be president of the United States,
and he is the. man the World intends
to support for president of the United
States regardless of all the artificial
barriers of a debased and discredited
partisanship."
Of other possible candidate; for
president in either party, the World
mentions only one, Attorney-General
Palmer, coupling him with Speaker
Sweet of the New York assembly,
who expelled the five socialist mem
bers, and charging both with trying
to establish a new doctrine of Prus
sianism. The Palmer raids on rad
icals recently appear to be no more
popular with the World than Sweet's
policy toward the socialist legislators.
Party Linen Held Broken.
' Reviewing political conditions and
contests of the last few years, the
World asserts that so far as funda
mental questions of government go
it would be difficult to detect any Im
portant difference between Mr. Tafl
and Mr. Wilson or Mr. Hughes and
Mr. Wilson, and on this ground it
'reasons that party lines are therefore
broken down. Assuming this to be
true, it clears the way for a Hoovei
candidacy on the ballot of the party
that will nominate him. In part, th
editorial reads:
"In the judgment of the World the
best equipped and best qualified man
to succeed Woodrow Wilson as pres
ident of the United States is Herbert
Hoover.
"We should be glad to support Mr.
Hoover as the democratic candidate
for president on a platform that
would represent the historical prin
ciples of the democratic party. We
should be glad to support him as an
independent candidate on a platform
of progressive liberalism. We should
not hesitate to support him as the
republican candidate on a platform
representing the kind of government
which Mr. Hoover has exemplified in
his public career.
Democratic Objections Cited.
"Among the democratic politicians
the chief objection to Mr. Hoover is
that he has been successively a re
publican and a progressive, but has
never affiliated with the democratic
organization, although he was ap
pointed to office by President Wilson
and was the most distinguished of all
of the president's ' lieutenants during
th war.
"Among republican politicians the
chief objection to Mr. Hoover is that
in the fall of 1918 he had the inde
pendence and courage to urge the
election of a congress that would
work harmoniously with President
Wilson.
"The partisan objections to Mr.
Hoover are arguments in his favor.
The American people are tired of
professional politicians and disgusted
with party politics. The old party
lines have broken down so far as the
rank and file of voters are concerned,
and in respect' to principles both par
ties are bankrupt. Although the spirit
of partisanship has rarely been more
bitter or more brutal, and never since
secession has it been more inimical to
the welfare of the country, the battle
of these warring politicians is a fic
titious conflict.
Hoover Found Jiot Wanting.
"Of all the men whose names have
been mentioned, the World believes
that Mr. Hoover alone measures up
;to the presidency in the fullest sense.
"This is not a year for partisan
candidates in any sense in which that
term has previously been employed
in politics. Party labels there must
be. because the party label has been
established by law.
"Although the two parties aTe des
titute of principle, they still retain
some of their former characteristics,
and Mr. Hoover combines the best of
these characteristics in both parties.
The republicans boast, and not with
out reason (if the record of the 66th
congress can be ignored for the time
being), that they represent efficiency
in the administration of government.
Mr. Hoover has proved himself one
of the greatest administrators of all
time. His achievements are among
the miracles of the war. and when
Europe speaks of efficiency it no
longer speaks of it in terms of Ger
many, but in terms of Hoover.

experience the responsibilities and
difficulties of the director of labor.
He knows the economic condition of
the world better, perhaps, than any
other American, and economic under
standing is now a vital element in
government. He knows the diplomacy
and the politics of Europe as few
Americans have ever known them.
"In point of ability, in point of ex
perience, in point of capacity to deal
comprehensively with the new prob
lems of reconstruction, Mr. Hoover
towers above all the candidates who
have been brought Into the contest.
There are no arguments against him
except arguments that are spawned
out of the stagnant waters of pro
fessional politics. For itself, the
World 3oes not care whether Mr.
Hoover calls himself a democrat or
a republican or a progressive or an
independent."

gave the editorial hearty indorsement.

not admit that the situation is any

pictures.

E Heilig theater was filled last
ight by an enthusiastic audience
at the fine concert given by three
members of the faculty of the Ellison
White oenservatory of music Elea
nore Osborne Buckley, soprano;
George Buckley, violinist, and David
Campbell, pianist and accompanist-
There were no vacant seats.
The programme was skillfully
chosen to show the musicianship or
the three soloists, who played and
sang altogether from memory. There
were many recalls and each soloist
was cordially received.
Mrs. Buckley has had the benefit
of voice training with the. well-
known George Henschel. In England,
and she sings with ease and personal
charm. She has & pleasant, ringing
lyric soprano voice that is well suited
to different kinds of songs, particu
larly singing that calls for trills,
vocal runs and vocal embellishments
generally. She speaks her words
well, and her phrasing is highly sat
isfactory. Her best sung song was
the Henschel "Spring," a song diffi
cult to render because of its exacting
technique and 3cope. But Mrs. Buck
ley sang it with credit. The Char
penter aria was also well rendered
Mrs. Buckley s extra numbers in
eluded "A Spanish Serenade." "Twi
light." composed by Mrs. Kerry of
this city, was sung with such appeal
that the audience insisted that it be
repeated.
Mr. Budkley is a. violinist of talen
and cultured musicanship. He has
been well schooled In violin technique
by eminent masters, a fact that
noted when he begins first to play.
He has an even, powerful "large
tone, subdued to the needs of par
ticular solos. His Interpretation o
Ave Maria" (Shubert-Wilhelm) was
superb, while his "Symphony Espag
nole gave especial pleasure. One o
his extra numbers was "Viennesese
Popular Song" (Kreisler).
Mr. Campbell played the music al
lotted to him with consummate mu
sical ability. He has a line piano
touch. His Brahms Scherzo was
especially liked for its culture and
fine music sense of proportion. The
extra piano numbers included "The
Hunt" Paganial-Liaat) and "Butter
files" (Rosenthal).
LEWISTOX. Idaho. Jan. 21. (Spe
cial.) In anticipation of the visit of
a large delegation of good roads
boosters from Enterprise and Wallo
wa county. Oregon, on February 8,
the commercial clubs of Lewiston
and Clarkston are arranging for a
big meeting to celebrate the event.
The Oregon citizens will come in a
special Pullman car and at least 30
are expected. If the roads are in
good condition others will drive their
cars across country.
The special purpose of the junket
is that the northeastern Oregon busi
ness men and farmers may become
acquainted with the Lewiston-Clark-ston
country, which will be an outlet
for the commerce of Wallowa county
upon the completion of the projected
i Enterprise-Lewiston highway.
In addition to the Oregon delega
tion a large number of prominent cit
izens from Washington and Idaho
will attend the big meeting which
will be held February 9.
At this meeting steps will be taken
to determine the exact route of the
rojected highway which will extend
rom Hnterprise to Flora and Grouse,
Oregon, thence across the Grand
Ronde river into Washington, through
Anatone and Azotin to Clarkston and
Lewiston, at which latter point it will
connect with the Idaho North and
South highway and the Evergreen
highway, which leads to the east, and
the Lewis and Clark highway, lead-
ng northeast to Montana. Engineer
C. C. Van Arsdal has made a survey
of a proposed route over the Grand
Ronde and will submit his findings at
the meeting.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 21. (Special.)
Congressmen today expressed views
on the New York World's boom for
Hoover for president as follows:
Senator Chamberlain (dem.. Oregon)
Hoover would make a splendid can
didate and a great run. He has proved
himself able and worthy. He has
come through the war without any
trace of scandal.
Representative Hawley (rep., Ore
gon) I shall wait until the conven
tion.
Senator King (dem., Utah) He
must prove that he is a democrat be
fore I support him. I am tired of ex
periments In candidates.
Senator Harding (rep., Ohio) The
World- has made a mistake in stating
that it would support an independent.
Parties are necessary in this country.
The people should stick to their polit
ical organizations.
Hoover Wilson's Candidate, Belief.
Representative Julius Kahn (rep..
California, in whose district Mr.
Hoover lived) I am a great friend
and admirer of Mr. Hoover. When he
was attacked on the floor of the house
at the time the food administration
bill was up for consideration, I felt
It incumbent upon myself to defend
Mr. Hoover from those attacks. He
was a resident of my congressional
District. Mr. Hoover is a gentleman
of splendid executive ability and a
man as well Informed in world affairs
as any man prominently before the
American people at this time.
Chairman Fess of the republican
congressional committee It would
mean absolutely nothing if the World's
reference is to" the republican candi
dacy. The democratic interests would
likely have a democrat In mind when
they would name a candidate for the
republicans. It is very significant if
the World is for Hoover as the dem
ocratic nominee. It is generally con
ceded here that Hoover Is the choice
of the president in case he is not in
the race. It is the general feeling
in the house that Mr. Hoover is the
president's candidate.
Representative Evans (dem. Mont.)
Mr. Hoover is one of the really ca
pable men. in the world today.
Senator Overman (dem. N. C.) I
did not realize that a strong senti
ment for' Hoover was sweeping the
country until I went to my state re
cently. A number of my neighbors
told me that Hoover was very popu
lar and the belief that he can be
elected was growing.
Senator Underwood (dem. Ala.)
Mr. Hoover got away with his war
endeavors better than anybody else,
but as to the American people to
visualizing him as a presidential can
didate, that is another thing. The
newspapers can do a great deal to
make the country accept him. I shall
wait until I see w hat party he adopts.
Mr. Hooter Opposed.
Senator Gronna (rep. N. D.) Peo
ple out our way are not taking
Hoover seriously. Why didn't the
World run the prince of Wales for
president?
Senator Smith (dem., Ga.) The
World says It will support Hoover, no
matter what party nominates him. I
won't vote for him, no matter what
party names him. I won't vote for
any Englishman for president.
Senator Pittmant (dem., Nev.)
Hoover is a very fine man and would
make a strong candidate. 1 do not
know his politics.
Senator McKeller (dem., Tenn.) I
am utterly opposed to Mr. Hoover
from start to finish. I never voted
tor a republican and I shall not begin
now. Let Mr. Hoover run on the re
publican ticket, where he belongs.
Senator Lodge (rep., Mass.) There
Is some powerful Influence behind
the Hoover movement in this coun
try.. Let the press find out what
it is.
- Senator Brandege (rep.. Conn.) I
know nothing of the Hoover campaign
except 'what I see in the press. It
is doomed, however. If the World says
it will support him, regardless of
what party nominates him.
Representative Rodenhiirg (rep..
111.) Mr. Hoover. Is tjnan of ability.)

ties and it always will be. unfor
tunately, no one knows what party
he belongs to, and for that reason he
has about as much chance of being
president as the editor of the World
has.
Snpport la Withheld.
Representative Rogers (rep., Mass.)
The World's declaration is very in
teresting and I think it will strike a
responsive chord in a great many peo
ple of both parties.
Representative John H. Small (dem..
N. C.) I believe that I am with the
World if it can be shown that Mr.
Hoover is a democrat.
Representative Crisp (dem., Ga.)
I am not for Mr. Hoover. '
Representative Esch (rep.. Wis.)
There is no question about Mr. Hoo
ver's executive capacity, not only In
the United States, but throughout Eu
rope. I do not know how strong he
would be if his name was presented
to the country. If he w.ishes to be
come a candidate he would soon have
to select a party. We elect by party
and platform in this country. During
his residence abroad he has not be
longed to any party, although that
mirht be an advantage.
Representative Pou (dem., X. C.)
We must have the independent vote
to win the next election.- I think that
Hoover is the man to get it. If he is
a democrat. I will be for him. .
Representative Nolan (rep., CaL)
I am for Johnson on any ticket all
th way.
Representative Ranaall (prohibi
tionist. Cal.) If either party does
name Mr. Hoover, good night. The
people arc looking for somebody they
can go to. The World has got the
politicians scared.
Representative Saunders (dem., Va.)
I had not thought about Hoover as
a possible candidate.
Representative J o.h n s o n (rep..
Wash.) I am for Mr. Poindexter. I
do not know what Mr. Hoover's plat
form is.
Representative Doughton (dem.. N.
C.) Mr. Hoover looks pretty good to
me. We need a business man.
