April 16 You msy have noticed that Washington waa not one of the placea rutted by Mr- Hoover on hla highly publicized tour. T h I a waa not an oversight. K he came here, he would not have many placea to go. The fact la moat of the Republi can authorltlee here are Irked every time they pick up a news paper and find Mr. Hoove r'l PAUL MALLON name In it. They know he la not a. presidential possibility and he knows It, but apparently no one else does. You can mark It down In your lit tle notebook that Mr. Hoover's candi date for the next Republican presi dential nomination la Ogden Mills, the former secretary of treasury. Tou may also not that, while Mr. Mllla Is probably the most brilliant and capable man In the Republican party, he haa no more chance of get ting the nomination than you have. The smartest Republican author ity from the midwest aaya President Roosevelt would carry hla section to day. He thinks the preaident haa lost ground, but not enough. Incidentally his one-two-three pick for the Republican nominations la (1) Col. Prank Knox, 2 Senator Vandenberg, (3) Governor Landon of Kansas. Republican authorities here have been astounded at the amount ot talk about Knox In the middle west. He Is weak In Washington, but that may be to hla credit. The smartest Republican strate gists privately consider the coming Kansas City meeting a mistake. It is always bad strategy for an opposition party to try to draw up an affirmative list of principles. The truth la that those who will meet In Kansas City are agreed on only one thing; namely, that they are against the new deal. If you go be yond that Into a list of particulars, you will find there are as many dif ferent viewpoints among the pro posed Kansas City delegates as there are delegates. The promoters of the meeting know this now. For that reason, you need not expect much from the leathering, despite all the ballyhoo about it. Note The eastern wing of the party (Hllles, Rorabach, etc.) had no connection with the arrangements for the meeting, regardless of stories now going around to the contrary.
