BOURNE CALLS HOOVER
POLITICAL NONDESCRIPT

Declaring that carpet bagsers"
have no place in American cam
paiRns. former Senator Jonathan
Bourne, through the Republican Pub
Iicity Association, last night issued a
statement charscteriLing as prepos-
ferrous" the appearance OF the boom
for Herbert Hoover for the Presl-
deucy. The former Senator included
in his denuncistion the ''pussy-foot
methods" of Colonel E. M. House who,
he said. was backing Hoover. In his
statement former Senator Bourne
said:
"The serious mention OF tho name
OF Herbert Hoover as presidential
possibility Is one OF the unexplainable
political phenomena with which the
American voter Is frequently regaled.
Mr.. Hoover was practically unheard
OF In this country until the Euro
peau war furnished his vehicle OF
publicity. lie did yeoman service In
handling the Belgian relief work, and
from his office in London came to
America to supervise the production
and distribution OF our food supplies.
Whether he executed that commits
sion efficiently or not is beside the
question.
"rhc fact remains that practically
the only act of Mr.. IIoover's life
that Identifies him with America Is
his work for the food commission.
Deserted His Country.
"In 1897 when Mr.. Hoover was
only twenty-threc years old. he
moved to Australia to engage In min
ing activities. In 1899 he removed
TO China and became the chief engi-
ncer of the Chinese imperial bureau
OF mines. For practically twenty
years Mr.. Hoover has concentrated
his energies on tho development OF
foreign properties. Deserving the
country which gave him birth and an
education he went abroad and stayed
there. Now when the emergency OF
war rather than any voluntary de-
sire on his part has brought about
his return to his native land, he
seems to entertain the notion that
the voters will select him to direct
the destinies of the nation for the
next four years. A more preposter-
Gus supposition could hardly be con-
ceivcd.
