(By James L. West, Associated
Press Staff Writer)
HTANPORl) IWlVKItSITY, Cal.,
Auk. 7. (!') Herbert Hoover is
fattiiiK with a dt'firee of impatience
his zein hour in the ureal national
arena of politics. These days in
terveniiiK before he makes his first
bid to the American voters here
next Satutilay are days of unrest
even thoimtr they are more or less
taken up with i omuls of political
conferences and friendly visits
with old ac(daintances who call at
the rainblin.; stucco home of the
republican presidential nominee on
the side of San J nun hill.
Kveu to a seasoned campaiRner,
and by no stretch of the imagina
tion x Mr, Hoover that, they would
be ones of not int'renuent specula
tion as to bow the keynote speech
will be received by the nation:
whether the farm relief declara
tion will tend to quiet the turbu
lent corn bell, and whether the
true spirit in which the various
parts of the message were com
posed will get over to the people.
Then there is another element
which opens a wide vista to the
practical, keen and quickly movins
mind of the engineer and. admin
istrator. Who tarries the hopes of
1 the grand old party. From his
lonu administration of this means
of purxeyiug the human message,
I Mr. Hoover knows this field and
, his thought is as to how many of
: the millions within the radius of
j the HO stations that will broadcast
the acceptance speech will listen
in and how loug they will sand by.
Thoughts as to the ideal length
of a radio speech differ, but some
l surveys have placed it at a maxi
mum of minutes. That maxi
, mum will be nre than doubled
I by Mr. Hoover next Saturday as
, he could not comprefis a discus
sion of the complex situations of
the day iij so brief a space of time.
With his insatiable thirst for all
the facts on any given proposition
' which comes within the range of
his study, the (i. O. P. standard
bearer also is fairly well informed
as to the kind of delivery that
j goes best over the air.
The spellbinding orator who de
pends more upon the tricks of de
livery than upon the substance of
his address, does not do nearly so
well as when faciiw; an audience
in which he can stir the mob psy-
chology.
Shouting perorations are out on
.the radio as the engineers simply
'tone down the sound to save the
j wear and tear on receiving sets
i and the ears of the listeners, and
i those skilled In the art of appear
ance before a microphone put their
emphasis upon important parts of
their speeches by speeding up their
! word flow.
I There still is another reason
; why Mr. Hoover will be the better
j satisfied, when he has officially
; launched himself upon his. cam-
paign. Then he will he able to
abandon tho policy of silence which
he mapped ol't for himself imme-
! Mutely upon his nomination; a pol-'
! icy which his advisors hold has
i been one of wisdom. i
j He will he free to discuss any J
questions as they nrise without
waiting to deliver a set speech.
Those who know Mr. Hoover are
; convinced that he is goln to prove
anything but a loquacious candi
date. His public addresses will be
few and perhaps far between, and
; he has given no indication thus
i far that he will give offhand opin
ions on subjects political or otherwise.

m
A Back she came . . .
millionaire's
wife
-and BROKEN-HEARTED
AS far back as Cherry Could
remember, poverty mid ,
squalor,' toil and hunger, were
the only life she had ever known.
Many a lonely, aching night,
through hot tears of self-pity,
she had gazed with wistful,
longing eyes into a dream-world
of her own making a world
of love, tenderness, compassion,
radiant beauty a world that
seemed forever beyond her
reach.
But as the years went by, and
Cherry blossomed into young
womanhood, her determination
to conquer life brought its
reward. Brought .freedom,
friends, opportunity, success.
Then romance came ro
mance as marvelous as it was
beautiful, As the wife of Dick
lierringer-young, rich, boyishly
handsome Cherry's measure
of happiness seemed complete.
One brief year of ecstatic bliss,
then catastrophel A merciless fate
decreed that she. go back tu the
gutter whence she came.
With bleeding heart she saw
i snatched from her all the love and
tenderness, the comfort and happi
ness, he had fought for so bravely
) and so long.
" What strange circumstances
conspired to crush her under thi:;
frightful load of miser) ? Why
must she exchange an honored
name for the bitterness of shame
and degradation? Because she mar
ried above her class, must she pay
the penalty of disillusionment and
black despair?
You will want to read the whole
heart-breaking story, exactly aa
Cherry tells It. It is entitled "Shat
tered Dreams," and appears com
plete in the September issue of
True Story nfagazine.
