Hoover; and appearing in that authoritative atmosphere the 'Washington politician took it seriously v1:h nn ;iir that implied an aimed j'acernal. even a j.ropr ietorial relation to Mr. Hoover. Or.e paragraph of sreerh of J.Ir. Harnes about Mr. Hoover was regarded l-y tlu, Wahir..;;nn politicians as calling for intent t-tudy tin their part. It was: "I am, nevertheless, hmnm enough to feel, as a lifelong republican, reassured to ti-live that only one ronra ivable l'-vd-nu-nt could plar- him on the lemocrati-- ticket, in spite of al' that has appeared rer--ntly in tho pros.

Thit paragniph, coming from one Who -rtainlv is a responsible frlml and partner of Mr. Hoover, lino assumes the manner of Iiis epckMinan, was interpreted by the oMirians nr, a threat to t'tv reJ)!jhlicans.

Mr. Hoo'aT won't- x't th repuhllcan nomination, and It is vain for is fri r.d.s to thit.k a'r.out it. n!y kj'oh even passing thought to Hoover as a possibility. Hoover is trio mi ch of an outsider. The. republican leaders think this is their year and why give the nomination to any one outside the lodge? The uttermost thought among all the republican leaders is that the nominee mu.-t be an organization man. With many of them this factor is so determiningthat they are dubious een about (Jen. Wood and Men. Wood's political status places him closer to the republican organization than Mr. Hoover, who is completely outside- it. (There is more to thi than mere political fraternity or parti-an free-masonry. There is a good deal of legitimate justification for it. In this country we have party government. The nominee of a party must have the confidence of the party Laders, and if electee! mud wank ui the leaders of his party in tho house and senate. There is no other practicable way. Any other way makes the president either an autoer;4., completely independent of congress, or else a noienlty. ignored by congress.) Homrr's Ofl'ciw to Itopiib'ionn. There is one other reason why the republicans won't have Mr. Hoover. They connect him with an event in recent political history which makes him anathema to them. it will be remembered that during the congressional campaign J of l 'j 1 S Pres't Wilson, acting upon the adviee of Mr. Tumu'ty and Mr. Fiurlrson. issuf d a call to the public. vsking the public to return only democrats to congress. That call made the, republican leaders about as angry as anything that Mr. Wilson has ever done. The country did not return a democratic congress, and the reason commonly given and accepted was the public resentment of Mr. Wilson's call. He that as it may, tho republican leaders were enraged by it and they still harbor malice over it. While republican resentment against this action on the part of Mr. Wilson was at its height, and while the country was angrily debating the propriety of what Mr. Wilsen had done, a New York democrat. FYederio It. Coudert, asked Mr. Hoover whether ho did not think the situation required tbat Mr. Wih-on elouid have unity Nhind him. Mr. Hoover replied to this question with a letter which was commonly taken as an endorsement of Mr. Wilson's request lor a democratio congress. Mr. Hoover's letter really was not quite that, for whereas the president's appeal mentioned th republican party and the republican leaders specifically and with opprobrium, Mr. Hoover did not mention either political party, but confined himself to a tenable statement of the principles involved. The i ssenoe of Mr. Hoover's leter on this occasion was in these words: "My own views are summarized in a word that we must hao united support for the president. In th: sa es b fore Uthere? ein be no party politic. It is vital that we lnv. a united frent and a sustained leadership. I am for Pres't Wilson's leadership, not only in the conduct of the war. but also in the negotiatioo of peace and afterward in tin .11. . ,-.;.... ,.f rr 'a luiriliin I tilt' Uli I I ili'li L .inn i n i.'m.x..'. m the rehabilitation ef the world. The re is no gr ate r monume nt to any man's genius than the- conduct of negotiations with the- enemy by the president. There is no oth r lead rship possible now if we are to succeed in these great issues." Tho se are the words in which Mr. Hoover epre-.d himself en that cc..-ion. The truth is it would bo dltfieult to take exception either than or now to what Mr. Hoover sald in tho way Mr. Hoover said it. If Pres't Wilson had confined his call to the words in which Mr. Hoover oontioed his endorsement, and if Mr. Wilson had refrained, as Mr. Hoer r.frained. from mntiomng ither pirty and from discriminating hetwe en the- two parties; if he had merely called. as Mr: Hoover called, for united suppe-rt . from boil-, p i to - it Mr. wuson had done tliat. his action might never have -e, n culled in p.i stion ;i d we might have l ea n spared one of the most a-. ry ep:-ode of recent political h'story. Put Mr. Wilson was ur.der the intim ro e of the crude pa rtlsamh'.p f Mr. Purleson and Mr Tun.ult. They wanted democrats in cotcr-.s. and unier th.edr adice Mr. vi'son that way. and to phrased his call u-e an austerely ch.:-V:.ed a: ' : which Mr. W: sr-lf t Mr. Purl ty after the "made a fool e: :iou of the wa.rds in son expressed hlmis'i and Mr. Tu mulct isodo W US OVe'l". hinisolf." letter, coming as it Mr. Hoover's r the president's c with.

As to the democratic nomination, that is miito a di.Tr rent matter. The (V mo'-rat"-, ap thir.es stand to lay. ;.r' not in a position to b as "ohoo-y" as tho repihIFar.s. They win, a man that ran make a rood campaign ir. a year when the odd ar' nirmru' against th'-m. Mor1over, many of tho dernor ratio er.fincfT'dv fa r Mr. Hoover. Mr. Gavin McNab, of Fin Francisco, who had charge of the 19 1G deraorrale campaign in all the state we-f of Colorado, came to Wa.hing'on last wek to tell the party ort-ani.-eutions hit the democrats of the Pacific, ...ist are overwhelm ingly for Hoovr. (To be sure there i" something of the "favorite son" In this; for. while Mr. Hoover was born in Iowa, he spent his boyhood in ' 'regon. working, among other occupation, 'n a real estate otlice. 'and was edueafrd in California, and row has his r sidr.rc there.) One member of the cabinet i avowedly for Mr. Hoover, and several important heads of departments in the administration favor him. although prorriety restrains them from public endorsement so long as the president in-silent. It is notice able that the official or otherwise j important democrat who favor Mr. Hoover are the ones who arc most ' distant from the party organization. The organization, bring concerned with question of party regularity and patronage In the event of success, must necessarily think twice about a man who is as far outside the official fold as Mr. Hoover are these: It is supposed that ho would make un especially strong appeal to the woman vote, which is to be a new and impertant factor in this year's election. It is believed that the sentimental atmosphere which was built up aroimd the Hoover trademark as a means of stimulating benevolence In connection with the TJolgian relief would lead the women tr vote for him. Moreover, it is believed that Mr. Hoove r would t 'ke the anti- Merman blame off the tlemoerats. The democrats expect to leise the German vete because they conducted the war, but they think that tho rdficial benefactions which are now being carried on In Germany, and which are associated with Mr. Hoeivcr. for the same reason. would command a good deal of the other foreign vote the Belgian. French. Italian, Polish and Austrian vote. CONCLUDE AGREEMENT WITH A 1'. C. LINES FOR DEATH OF THREE Special t The Nv. s-Times : GOSHEN. Ind.. Feb. 28.
