uncertain edge of public opinion in

1t is safe to say that the supporters

Everywhere the same expression is

Wood workers boast that although
the original quota has been exceeded

1t is red-hot campaign. The pro.

Wood, while the people are beginning
to wonder where all the money is com

play golf for exercise, that chopping
wood would answer the purpose just

Hoover Puts Stop To Ac-
tivities When They
Start
BY HARRY B. HUNT,
N. E. A. Staff Correspondent.

NEW YORK, March 19.-The men
who are trying to make Herbert
Hoover jump into national politics in
the hope of landing a presidential
nomination, are finding that Hoover
has some thoughts of his own as to
what one may properly NOT do, to
win public preferment.
George Barr Baker, of the Amer
lean Relief Administration, one of
Hoover's associates, thinking to build
up record of just what was being
done in the way of Hoover clubs, ETC.,
directed some of the clerks of the
relief organization to keep file of
clippings and editorials dealing with
the Hoover boom,
Next day Hoover heard about it.
He Immediately cancelled the order
and sent for Baker.
1--WE have our work cat cut for us
here in the American Relief Admin
l.tration," he said. I'VE must tend to
the job ahead of US. l do not want
the time or energies of any one in
this organization taken up with po-
litical activities of any sort. That is
not what we are here for"
As a result of which, when the
make Hoover President Club
opened headquarters here and sought
from Hoover's office a record of what
already had been done in his behalf,
it found no such record existed.
Against the chiefs ORDERS" was
the explanation. "He tells US to at
tend to our relief work. If the peo-
pie want him for President, he says
they will attend to it, without our
wasting any time trying to persuade
them"
