miiiiiiKp of the rerent cold snap by
Luiheiini; around a friendly utovf
; ; ti 1 talking polities. The talk, it
'enis, liiuilly ery.stalized into a un
animous endorsement of Mr. Hoover
for president and we understand that
serious effort will be made to pivf
i lie movement national siguifira nrc
inroimli the American Society of Kn
L.iniers. 'I'hi' iilea of die Hoardman men
.-ems to be that the country needs
to not away from the olil idea of al
lowing politicians' to run the country
and that during t'uis period of recon-.-truction
truly patriotic business
men, men well grounded in econom
ics are needed to direct the destinies
i'f the., ship of state.
And it would be a pretty hard task
for any of us to undertake to prove
t'lat the lioardman people are noi
en the right track. Patriots" an
needed in these troublous times more
than are politicians and so fur as w
are able to learn nobody has yet ac
cused Mr. Hoover of beini; a politi
cian. He Is an engineer of ability, a
man of vision, a practical man who
(iocs thingB that he sees reei!-! -int$
jam as he would build a railroad or
an irrigation system.
Mr. Hoover may not be a candid ite
for president but if enough comnii
ii"s in these l"a led Stat m should
'ike similar action to that, of I;o:i:d
man he might be persuaded to become
such.
tiii: nf.xt i'i:i:siiii:nt
i d i::": v. -.; politics sre. Its so
with tiie nation. What we need is
one who n-ver knew what politics
was. A s'.ion: constructive hand. A
man with a clean mind, a clear eye,
a strong will. That's H. C. Hoover.
l)o you know any one man the war
ii iod'.; c d the eiiual of H. C. Hoover?
Let us say that we o to the polls
tomortow to vote for president. No
candidates have been named. No
would-be candidates have been al
lowed to wind-jam the people. H. C.
Hoover would be our next president.
I'lay tii aero.-s the board (Europe)
and "i" would be president of the
world. You and I pit around. The
two h-.iding political parties "doll up"
a couple of candidates. We look them
over, pick out the least offensive one,
gulp it down, and have political in
digestion the following four years.
When the old ship is sailing along
serenely we do not give these things
much thought, but the individual 1.1ml
can sit placidly by these times and
not squetek a yip out of 'his system Is
decayed matter. The country is now
overrun with anticipated presidents.
Some ar senators and representa
tives. Where do they belong now.
Down in Washington passing laws
the country needs. The likes of the'n
would have difiic-jlty in h"C.ur:np my
vol. lor dog ck hi r. We all have a
part to play. Wui you sit in?

there is one niiin wliosi' n.ime is and

Dear .Sir: 1
Having served wit'.; Uncle S.n's
forces during the world war, I now
consider it just as much my duty and
the duty of every American to help
solve the present industrial condition
of this country a3 It was to protect
it t j om it's enemies at war. To do
this v e must put cur shoulders to th-e
wheel and express our selves and not
be content to let a few- political dema
gogues lead us as tho we were sheep.
We of the middle classes have or:
ideas. Why ntt express them? T:c
settlement of our present industrial
unrest must come from the sob." -thinking
middle class. Either to al
low capital or the radical element oi
labor to settle our industrial Ques
tions would result iu a chaotic con
dition? They are both extremist. We
of the middle class must get into ac
tion in order to slableize oenditions.
Due to this call to duty it were, I take
tins privilege to make a brief dis
cussion on the prospective candidates
for president of the United States.
At present the illuminating stars
for the candidacy are Major Genera!
Wood for the republicans and Wil
liam McAdoo for the democrats. Does
it appear to you that either of these
men are presidential calibre? Have
we not a far greater man in the per
son of Herbert Hoover than either
of the above- They why not him foi
president?
Let us first consider Major Gen
eral Wood. He is a military man
having made that 'his lite study. Doer
a military career tend to make a
broad minded man? He always works
to one end, that is to build up a
strong machine of war. Do we wanl
h military expert or a man versed ir
economic conditions at the helm of
Our Ship of State? Will it not be
economic questions that will confront
him.? When we entered the world
war Major General Wood was at the
head of our military department
Why was he not allowed to retain
this position? Does It not seem that
he was :ot considered big enough for
the place in time of need? Surely o::r
Pol:: ical system was not so rotten a.
to replace a man Irotu such a 'o..,
posi!ion without just cause. Iio -s it
not seem reasonable that he was re
placed to give a man who was hie
enough for the position a chance.
Now let us consider Mr. McAdoo.
Is he not a politician from every
point of the game? He acted in the
capacity of railroad adin inistrotoi un
til big questions begun to confront
him, then he took the route of least
resislance, that of resigning his po
sition in the cabinet. Why did he
resign? His plea was that private
business called him and that the re
muneration it his office was too
small. Does it not sound mi ore plaus
hue lint he did not wis!' to make d"
clsiotis that would cause him politi
cal enemies. He would rath-i- resiun
laud prepare his campaign for presi-Id'-nt
fu.in perlorm the duties that
Conftoiited him. Is not that the
; iiiali"iner.-i cif a politician puie and
js;i. pie? Would lie not have shown
iiiin . ';). crest for his country had lie
lem i.-.-l In oftire instead oi resiun
'ii'a !- I"' sona! i ti t n". t s ? Knous!'
