J. C. Penney, president of one of the
largest chain store organisations In
the country, declarea that, although
he has been a life-long Democrat, he
will support Herbert Hoover for the
Presidency.
In his declaration Mr. Penney en

matter of business and not of mors
laws.
“Tbs well-being of the country rises
above partisan Issues.” said Mr. Pen-
pay in a formal statement, “and, while
I shall remain a Democrat tn the af
fairs of my state, which is Florida,
and have no intention of becoming a
Republican. I have a feeling which
amounts to a deep conviction that the
opportunity to1 have Herbert Hoover

take.

before us—farm relief and prohibi

farm problems. For some years 1
have given a great deal of time and
money to studying ways end means
of making the farmer more prosper

problems of production and distribu
tion in a business way under the su
pervision of a well-rounded staff of
agricultural experts. Our farmers are
making money.
*T have noted that in sections, such
as parts of Wisconsin, where the
farmers maintain herds of blooded
stock they earn profits, whereas the
farmer who has poor stock does Just
as much work and gets no return.
This shows in our store Incomes. And

Guernsey cattle, which I take around
the country myself in order to teach
the lessons of economical production.
We are likewise working on beef cat-

ment. In the light of my experience
it seems to me that few men have
ever shown so slight a grasp of the
situation as did Governor Smith—if
his acceptance speech is to be taken
as his best effort. His lack of under
standing is fundamental. He simply
does not know what It is all about,
and after giving a few unimportant
and misleading figures he simply says
that he will try to get someone to help
him solve it by law.
