HOOVER'S ACCEPTANCE A MASTERPIECE
"TMIAT Secrelnrv Hoover trim
1 us everyone says cuu't deliver one, is demonstrated by
Iiis telegraphic reply to the aimouiiceiuuiit of his nomination.
A more ditinifiod, and at tile name tilde inspiring, note of ac
ceptance we have never read. . .Sincerity, simplicity, and a ncuu-
inely exalted purpose, breathe in every line. The enthusiasm
with which the Jiepnhlican delegates greeted this statement was
eminently justified. ' '
And when Mr. Hoover says a thing, one may rest assured
he means it. He makes no oratorical flourishes for effect.
When he says the farm problem must b solved, and will be;
one can rest assured that, if elected President, he will place
agriculture upon as firm and prosperous u basis us human "skili
and intelligence can provide.
It is all very interesting. We refer particularly not only to
the effect the election of a President, litis upon ti country, but
the effect such an election has upon tjic character and develop
ment of the individual thus honored. ,
If Jlr. Hoover is elected 1'resideiit;, uml he probably will j
be, it will he very interesting to obseirvc his development. One.
would not he surprised to find him at the end of u few years ,
a public speaker of unquestioned i'liticncy.
Greater transformations have been brought about in the his-!
ton- of this high oil ice. The Anu'i-ican people have scorned to
possess a sort of cighlh sense in the selection of their Presidents.
Many instances can he cited, where, in spite of the noise and
fury of political agitation, the people) have voted unerringly for
the man, who subsequently proved to have sometimes, latent
within him those special qualities which the country needed
ut that particular time.
HIGHLY QUALIFIED

forces against Brother Al Smith and some iioii-Taiutiiaiiy com

Nevertheless, we repeat, the
For iu Hoover and Smith not only will tho country have two
candidates far above the average, iu ability, but representing
an extraordinary contrast in diameter and attainments.

'.Mr. Hoover has never acted, and never will. He has a noon
voice, an unimpressive stage presence, knows nothilig about
campaigning, and less about the subtle arts of politics. If
he goes on the slump, which is doubtful, he will he placed at a
great disadvantage when pitted against his urbane and fluent
opponent.
Vet, polities asitle, there is no question whatever regarding
the superior qualifications, in every way, of Hoover over Smith,
as far as fitness for the Presidency of the I'niteil States is con
cerned. It is douht'ful if the Kepulilican party has ever had a
candidate, better fitted by experience and attai cuts, for this
high position, particularly when one considers the outstanding
necessities ol the country at the present time.
Brisbane puts it fairly well when he says:

principal occupations needs a iniin that unilcrstamlH theso thliiKs. I
Herbert Hoover is n trained eiiKlnuer nnd IhtirouKli business man.
More than that, during the next four years our foreign poli-i
eies, particularly regarding the Kar Mast, are to be of .superior
importance. .Mr. Hoover knows the l''ar Kast and Kurnpe bet-1
t.er than any other man in American public life today.

noon I heard its strident voice;
it made my heart within rejoice,
it made my spirit glad. There
were some seven hungry hands
who tilled the farmer'a fertile

forth its din, these merry men
went rushing in, thuy yammer
ed and they roared. About the
table then we sal, each eating
like an acrobat, none wasting
my words; our energies were all
enrolled in eating all that we
could hold, of roasts and stews
and birds. The women of the
household packo dgreat platters
with tho victuals, stacked in
most alluring piles; and it was
wonderful und weird, the way
those viands disappeared I
think of it with smiles. The
habits of our youth are strong;
however . clownish, coarse nnd

and now, when I confront a

brake, as I begin to chew. My
boon companions nowadays are
mostly cultured, gilded jays,

between the salad and the pic
they deal in comment and reply,
and spend a half a day. I try
to dawdle with tho rest, I deal

I lose my grip, forget mysIf

Cleveland, chosen In l.SR'-l, Was
j t he first democratic president
j elected since liuehanan. One of
I the causes of JMalne's defeat in
j that year was the unfortunate
i speech made by a Presbyterian
minister and friend of Hlaine on
j the eve of election, in which he '
( used the phrase, "Hum, 1 Ionian -ism
and Rebellion." Jiluine, like
Webster and Clay before him
' and Hryan after him, never got
I to be president. This reminds me
"r tnu "''"'ark I heard in Hates
I Harbor shop by a liryan enthusi-
platform and defeated liryan on
a free silver platform. The cam
paign emblem and slogan that
year was "a full dinner pail" and
a high tariff for protection of
tho laborers.
In the parade in Kansas City
(Monday evening' was u hugo dln
n er pail on u float, depiciniy the
Mclviuley campaign.
Previous to the nominations ia
jLxy; the country was "crazy ttt
free silver." Many of the former
staunch republican newspapers
j were lor free silver, while other
i were wavering;. "Coins Financial
School." "The Seven Conspira
cies," "The Crime of '73" und
many other free silver publica
tions were circulated freely, and
the country was in turmoil politi
cally. In the convention at St. IjouIs,
Senator Teller of Colorado, who
was leader of the fne aiKer forces,
made a strong appeal for u fro
silver plank in the platform, stat-
I ing if it was not included tho
