THE OREGON DAILY .V JOURNAL," TOR TLAND, FRIDAY, JANUARY 16,' 1920, HOOVER SHIES AS REPUBLICANS TRY TO ATTACH LABEL lawrence Says He Is Progressive J but With Small "P"l Affilia- ; tion With Parties Is Denied. 4 , - BjDAtidlMwrcn.ee " Copjrtfb4 1920. "y .J "Washington, Jan.. 16. -Herbert Hoftver" may or may not be a can- 7 flldate for the presidency but he has everybody in Washington up a ' tree as to what are hla real inten tions. One would have though that Julius Barnes, head of the United States Grain corporation and inti mate friend and business associate . fcf Hoover, would not make a speech declaring- the former food admin . Istrator to be a Projrresive Repub- Jlcan unless his friend, knew about it. One would have thought .that on an utterance of such importance Hoover would naturally be consult ed, but the first impulse of the dis- ' languished mining engineer who is nowadays the victim of so much political publicity that he Is actualy uncomfortable under the embar rassment of it, was to squelch the , Whole business. , He happens to be at work here in the Industrial commission which President Wilson recently appointed, and" when news came over the wires of the speech y Barnes, construed" by 4any as a for mal launching of the Hoover candidacy, . the individual most affected wondered , If there were some way he could not ' stop - it. JTOT A MUTT JUV ' Hoover- admits being a progreselve With a small "p." and was sympatetic with the progressive movement which In 1913 manifested itself In the nomlna : tion of Theodore Roosevelt on the one 'fund and Woodrow Wilson on the other, but" as for being a "party man" either J .'' to. Republicanism or Democracy, Toover shits at the word and naively v suggests to anybody who attempts to talk-presidential politics with him that . the so-called movement In his behalf V'blch appears to have so much spon , , taneity throughout the country Is really fn effervescent protest against the poli ticians In both parties a movement bom more of resentment against the political ring than particular knowledge of Hoover's capabilities for the high of ' fics of president - " And, naturally enough. Hoover can you a dozen arguments why he ought not to be considered or even both ered about r Political reporters are usually famil iar with the game of camouflage and roodesty which would-be candidates af !. feCGHKS WAS PUZZLE - The most puzzling case of recent years was that of Charles Evans Hughes, who ys being spoken or for the presidency ', ' 1 1 - while, he wss still V Justice of the .su preme court of the United States. Of, course, nobody knows what was going on in the mind of Justice Hughes, but be gavei every evidence' of sincerity in the early spring months i as he : told would-be boomers and campaigners that he didn't believe, first, , that there was anything like the .movement in his be half wffleh was represented to him, and, second, that he did not really know what he would do if what he construed as a f miracle In politics" did come to pass. i Hughes imagined that to be nominated a man needed a political organization and he would not tolerate any such thing. He was greatly embarrassed by certain political managers who gave the impression that he bad authorized them to start a campaign for him. A5XIOITS TO SEBYE - j Now. the case of Herbert Hoover is very much the same, except that Hoover is not as sure of his party as was Gov ernor Hughes. Hoover is only sure of what he thinks ought to be done in this country in the period of reconstruction, and be hasn't any idea thai his own sug gestions are the only ones that can be followed In this time of economic dis order, but he would honestly liks to serve, preferably In a private capacity. He doesn't think It necessary for him to run for office to serve the public and would as soon be appointed by any ad ministration or government in bring ing such knowledge as he has to the relief of European or American eco nomic problems. Herbert Hoover Is by no means a sub tle person with a "poker face." who could sit and deny that he Is a candidate and leave you with the impression that he would be tickled to death to be nom inated. BELIEVES BOOM EPHEMERAL He is confident that the movement for him which seems to have gained so much ground in the press is only epnera-! era! and that In another six months be will sot even be discussed for the Job and will be free to work out the .plans which he has as a private citizen for service In the International and national' situation. v v .; v. V . The truth is. nobody has been au thorized, not even Julius," Barnes, to launch the candidacy of Herbert Hoover, for if that individual has bis way there will be ! no Hoover campaign. But he can't very well show himself ungrateful to the -men who have been compliment ing him in their speeches and public references, and he is inclined to think that even his friends are wrongly con struing the resentment against poli ticians as a strong enough current to get for a non-political person a political nomination. Plenty of persons are trying hard o boom Hoover and get on the "band wagon,", so to speak, of a movement that they think will mean a winner. But all this Is only producing discomfort for the former administrator, who re marked to one friend the other day he hasn't lived 4 years and been in busi ness as long as be has in all parts of the world suddenly to "get his fingers burnt' by the machinations of politics. POLITICIANS FEAR HIM Nothing: could hurt Hoover so much as to have the public get an impression of receptlveness on his part and then have the movement of today gradually fade away, as he thinks it will, by the time the conventions are at hand. .. He would feel that his friends had put him in the awkward position of an office seeker, thereby injuring perhaps the very influence he might have as a private citizen With the nonpolittcal elements of the country In the future. Herbert Hoover is under two illu sionsone that he Is temperamentally and otherwise unsuited to be a president, for be regards himself 'as too blunt and direct to get along - with the political persons In congress and elsewhere with whom he imagines be would be in an in terminable struggle, and. second, that a movement raised on the foundation of popular resentment ag..lnst any. class is the most insubstantial thing to which to tie an anchor. But every friend he has believes Hoover wrong, while the party politicians who control nominations, un less the public takes a hand, naturally think he-Js right They would hate to have to nominate him. and that goes for both the Republican as well as the Dem ocratic politicians.
