opportunity to declare for Hoover
There is a strong Hoover sentiment
In the state aud we have many com
plants that our organization wa:
started only two weeks ogo. too late
to enter Hoover delegates in the cleo

ing on the result of the preferential
primaries In New Jersey. State Chair
man II. G. Stokes said:
THE result in the state was the
verdict OF an extremely light vote
with n number of ross-currents and
possible combinations. The close
margin shows an almost equally di-
vided opinion. but General Woods
victory, however small Is to me most
gratifying.
II announced my preference for
Wood nearly year ago because |
sincerely believe In the man, his
character and Americanism and felt
that the country needed the peace
and quiet and repose and Roosevelt s
square dealing that would be assured
II Wood occupied the presidential
chair. My efforts were in his behalf
and l naturally had no claim on the
johnson vote.
II made no fight against anyone
nor did / make any fight for myself
either by way of expenditure or by
combination with others. The fact
that / secured q place on the delega-
tion in spite Of the big Johnson vote
on which / had no claim, Is to me
most satisfactory"
