HOOVER FOR PRESIDENT.

When President Wilson appointed

him to Eump<* without instructions,

Mr. Hoover. He showed himself to
be a big man in every sense of the
term.
Now he is proposed as a possible
candidate for president, and why
not?

They did not add luster

were they busin«*** men of any c >n-

The United States needs a supe
rior business man to direct its aff
airs now as never before. He should
be constructive in disposition and of
large financial capability.
Mr. Hoover seems to possess these
dualities in an eminent degree. His
gtatesmanshiD qualities are yet to
be developed, though his business
ability impiit*« that the qualities of
the statesman will Dot be lacking
and the people do not care about
pollticai qualiti*« If they are of the
aencinmg variety.
As a matter of fact, a non parti-

of our heretofore presidents have
been partisans or party men; Abra

We are using not more than
