DEMO HEAD SAYS HERBERT HOOVER WILL. BE MEMBER IF H|S CAB|NET I
Cox Promises to Appoint Hoover Member of Cabi- net if Elected; Eulogizes Foremost Engineer
lReputIican A. p. Leased wirel

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 1S-Gover- nor Cox, in an address here today be- d luncheon of business men, referred to Herbert Hoover as the type of trained mind he would like to have in his cabinet if elected.
 The Democratic candidate rested this morning, made two luncheon speeches, made a brief talk at a reception in his honor, and then left for Oakland to visit some wounded soldiers at a hos pital and to make a formal address to- night.
 MT. Hoover's effective service in the war was largely due to his thorough training as an engineer" he said, and if I can induce him, one of the best engineers in the country will sit in my cabinet
 The governor also favored in this speech the abolishing of the excess profits tax which he said was justified during the war but no longer neces- sary, and the substitution for it of one or one-half per cent on the volume of business of a firm.
 At a luncheon by the San Francisco Center, a woman's organization, he declared that the country would have had a much better idea of basic con- ditions in Russia if a group of wom- en of the character of Jane AddamS or the heads of American educational in stitutions had been included in the Root mission to Russia
 A rotary fund by which the presi- dent could buy up the entire sugar crop or in any other way meet food crisis when congress was not in seS- sion was proposed in both of his talks. He said the government should have inventories of all food supplies to fore stall alarm over the possibilities of food shortages
 cox AsSAILs BROTHERS
 OAKLAND, Cal, Sept. IS Sugar profiteers were arraigded here tonight by Governor Cox, Democratic candi- date for president, in the third speech of his trans-bay program. Speaking from the rostrum where President Will son made one of the last speeches pre- ceding his breakdown, Governor Cox reviewed attempts by the president to dethrone profiteers who have reigned for five long years-sordid, soulless, ugly and hateful
 T am in favor in circumS StanceS like this" the governor said, "of the gov ernment, through congress, supplying a rotary fund to be placed in the hands of the president for the purchase of as much of the sugar crop aS~is nec- essary to prevent profiteet4e .. If am elected in November I shall rec ommend to the congress that this be done for future emergencies in food supplies.
 prevailed during the war and especial ly since the signing of the armistice has been outrageous. The amount stolen from householders of America in that time by the profiteers would pay, off the greater part of the funded debt arising from the war itself
 Tt must be more than a coincidence that the many profiteers who were protected by the senatorial oligarchy in the present congress are paying their share into the Republican cam paign fund, which will not be less than S15,000, 000"
 Governor Cox will leave for Los An geles tomorrow morning.

VAULT CELEBRATED

The present Gazette building was
erected in 1904 by the Virginia
Safe Deposit and Trust Corporation
In 1911, shortly after that instltu-
ton went out of business, the build
ing was purchased by the Gazette
Corporation, and in October of that
wear it became the home of this pa
per.
The vault, which took up consid-
cradle space on the first floor, has
ever been an obstruction, contract
ing the room so much needed for
the purposes of newspaper. Re-
Gently it was determined to remove
the vault, by no means an easy pro-
cedure. as it was put up to stay.
II was first necessary to take out
the steel walls and roof, and remove
the many private boxes and the pom
derous doors and combination locks
The work of demolishing the brick
structure followed, and this has oc-
cunied about two months. it being
necessary to virtually chip it out.
After long and tedious work the
obstruction has at last been elimina-
ted and we are now enjoying more
elbow room.
