Tho End OF the Hoover Boom

HE presidential primary Dalloting Of the
! i week has developed just one decisive
| result. 1t has eliminated Herbert Hoover
! from Republican reckoning. And since he
deliberately eliminated himself from DEM
ocratic reckoning, ii may be safely assumed
that his candidacy is no longer to be taken
into consideration by the great forces which
direct the affairs of the two national parties.
When Hiram Johnson ran roughshod
over Hoover i'll California, the home State
Of each the Senator drove the last nail into
the political coffin OF the former food admin
istrator in so far this campaign is con-
cerned, OF course Hoover is comparatively
young man and beyond question is a use
full citizen. He may therefore, figure more
prominently in domestic politics during the
coming four years and assume command
ing position by 1924. He might be a SUI
perior Secretary of the Treasury in Re-
publican administration, should q Republic
can be elected, or he might even grow in
strength as private citizen.
But the Hoover campaign has collapsed
in so far as his nomination at Chicago is
concerned. He has been repudiated by his
own State He has been defeated in every
contest where his name was presented to the
voters He has ruled himself out OF the
game, and while a few scattering votes may
he cast for him in June. the chances are that
the Republican leaders will proceed with the
regard for the qualifications Of Hoover.
10 other presidential possibility in recent
times has failed signally through mis-
judgment as has Herbert Hoover Three
months ago he seemed to many hundreds OF
thousands of good. clean Americans as the
best fitted man in the nation to succeed
Woodrow Wilson He had spontaneous sup
port from Democrats and Republicans alike.
He seemed 10 possess the attributes which
-At,lA L Il it,, Dr1e 20,
embody qualities which would attract the
votes OF millions of people, regardless of
party inclinations.
Hoover in his earlier course gave strength
to the movement which had grown up in his
behalf He repeatedly declared that he was
not a candidate for the presidency. He re-
peatedly declared that he was not Re-
publican. He repeatedly declared that he
was in no sense n partisan.
While Mr.. Hoover maintained that posi-
ton, lie had both parties in a state OF
anxiety. The Republicans were afraid to
ignore him lest the Democrats take him up
and make winning candidate of him. The
Democrats hesitated to appropriate him. out
OF fear that the Republicans, who will hold
their convention first, steal Hoover away.
Then all at once this singular political
figure threw away the prestige which he had
enjoyed. He announced that he was can
ddatc He announced that he was
partisan. He announced that he was a Re-
publican. AS soon as he had committed this
blunder he sacrificed practically all the
strength he had gained. The Republicans
went out deliberately TO kill him off, know
ing that the Democrats would no longer con-
Slider him. And now the former food ad-
ministrator finds himself cast OFF with little
or no hope OF being in the political equation
during the coming campaign.
