Several of Mr. Hoover's Influential friends are ready to come out for him lor , the republican presidential nomina tion any ttme he says the word. At least two of them have told him o. Yet the chances are 100 to 1 that he never will say the word. The way that situation Is di ' agnosed author itatively by the party doctors In their private c o n s u nations PAUL MALLON ! .iff here Is this: y If the party should rise and' ask for Mr. Hoover's nomination, he would accept It. but no one. includ ing Mr. Hoover, expects that situation to develop. His purpose in asserting his party leadership now Is to pre vent his opponents within the party from wresting control from him. He wants to perpetuate certain basic money and other principles which some of his opponents within the party would Just as soon forget. What he really wants, therefore. Is not the nomination, but a veto pow er over the nomination. At least this Is what the best private authorities confidently believe he is working toward." The eastern party leaders have been looking lately Into the possibilities of two men for the nomination: Sen ator Vandenberg of Michigan and Governor Alf Lsndon of Kansas. There are a lot of other names be ing mentioned publicly, but these two are the only names which have aroused any real Interest with the people who count. Landon was here a few days ago 'on relief matters. He was dined by Senator Capper, but only Kansans were present. He is a good party man. and a long shot bet on either him or Vandenberg would not be foolish. As things are working around now. the convention is likely to develop into a sharp contest among half a dozen or more "favorite sons." In that case, no one could predict the nominee, but the Hoover influence might be important in making the final choice. The country may not be paying much attention to speeches recently made by Lewis Douglas, but some of President Roosevelt's political asso ciates have been. The ex-dlrector of the Roosevelt budget has been say ing some sharp things about new deal financial policies. The speech he tast made, at the University of Pennsyl vania, was particularly pointed. In that connection, there has been some quiet talk about the possibili ties of Mr. Douglas In a political way. It Is known he lias no personal am bitions. But if someone of his viewpoint should press Mr. Roosevelt from a conservative democratic side, while Huey Long is clawing from a radical side, the friction might, generate some real warmth in the current cool dem ocratic political situation. Of course, nothing can be done by any new deal opposition in the demo cratic convention, but. In the eiec ... tlon two independent aemotrRtn. candidates would at least mane iv in- teres ting. Rumor dust stirred up on the m - side about a new running mate lor Mr. Roosevelt has now settled. At least the Roosevelt polltlcos are run- nlng around with wet brooms trying to settle it. The same ones who were suggesting six months ago that Cac - tus Jack Garner's preference for re- tirement should be respected are now whispering that he will be draltcd for re-election and will consent, One reason they are fo eager to settle the matter Is the fact that Gamer's expected retirement aroused the ambitions of too many who want the Job. Apparently, every democrat ic office-holder thought he should i Continued od Pa Six ) ROOSEVELT YACHT ON TRAIL OF FISH MIAMI. Fla . March 28 (AP) !
