Des Moines. April 1.-lnspired by
the announcement of Herbert Hoover
that he will accept the nomination for
president on the republican ticket II
IL il felt that the issues necessitate,
local Hoover boosters met here last
night and perfected the organization
OF a Hoover for President club. IL Is
anticipated the movement will spcrad
rapidly over the state.
There are prominent state officials
who do not look on the Hoover can
didacy with favor. The argument OF
the old line republicans which invari-
ably Is put forward when Hoovers
candidacy Is mentioned is that politi-
cal parties are necessary In this coun-
try and that the fundamental prin-
cipies OF government cannot be work
ed out successfully except thru party
organization.
Opponents of Hoover are charging
that he is playing for both the repuh-
lican and democratic support and
that in case he Is not nominated by
the republicans at Chicago, June sth,

style of politics. they say, in Great

this country.
on the other hand the Hoover:tes
declare that the people are tired OF
parties and party manipulation and
want a man for president outside the
ranks OF partisanship. They declare
the people will elect him no matter

The meet Is open to all high schools

No official announcement OF the

The history OF the cup Is brief. II
was won two years ago by West
Des Moines and last year was passed
along to North Des Moines. where 1t
now is. High schools all over the
state this year have vowed to get
the cup out Of Des Moines.
Training at west high in prepar-
alton for the state track and field

Foreign Buyers After
Fine 7rotting Horses

Within the next six months, more
than 500 standard bred or trottins
bred horses will leave this country for
England, France and Italy. according
to an official announcement from the
office of the American Association OF
Trotting Horse Breeders. The an
nouncement Is made in the form OF a
warning to American breeders ana
fanciers. who are apprlsed OF the TACT
that foreign buyers are picking up TIE
best of our speed horses: shipping
them abroad and receiving fancy
prices for them.
Officials of the association are ask
ing that fanciers and breeders here
do all in their power to stop the ex-
portation of foundation stock or II
they intend to continue to sell for eX-
port, to do the exporting themselves
and reap the harvest that foreign
buyers are reaping. The bulletin also
points out that at the present rate
there will be serious shortage IN
trotting bred stock in this country
in 1922, and that the shortage can
not be corrected unless more fanciers
take to the breeding game.
Alexander Gemmell. English buyer,
recently shipped to London con-
signment Of twenty American trot-
tiers. They were auctioned OFF in Lon
don at a sale and attracted record
crowd. The following list showing
what the horses were purchased for
in this country and what they
brought in England is interesting:
Master Ideal. bought for 1886, sold
for s7,S75.
Peter Mccormack bought for 800,
sold for s1,15o.
Nathan Axworthy, bought for $500,
sold for 1880.
Rosa Watts, bought for $4,000, sold
for $4,000.
Charley Penn bought for 500. sold
for Sl,470. ...
Harvest Star, bought for $675,
sold for $1,000.
Roberta Bingen, bought for $500,
sold for $1,000.
Totals, bought for $3.50; sold for
$1S,325.
1t will be seen there was a profit
of s12,765 for the shipment of seven
OF the twenty head. and advices state
that the remaining thirteen Of the
shipment were sold-in every case
for at least $50 more than they cost
here. The horses listed were 70 the
stars Of the consignment.
According to the bulletin Of The
American Association of Trottfng
Horse Breeders, there are fewer
breeders today than at any time in
the past fifty years. The foreign buy
ers are bidding for the best and will
take nothing but stations and mares,
again emphasizing the fact that the
American supply Of harness horses is
bound to diminish.

big contest. Tommy and Jimmy
work together just as smoothly as
their names fit each other, and are
a foxy pair to beat when they set out
to win.
Last year Milton enjoyed the most
profitable season in his racing career,
capturing no less than three major
events. the opening contest at
Uniontown, the Independence derby
on the same course. and the road
racing revival at Elgin. In the final
event of the year at Uniontown, he
had a fourth victory within his
grasp, when his car caught fire and
wound up its career in a buZziD2
mass of flames in front Of the grand
stand.

sidewise. tanning the flames away
from him and so brought the car to
a stop with only few miner burns

Incorporating eight cylinder engines

mounts were put thru their PAGES at
the Sheepshead Bay track that Is
now being dismantled as early as

greatly improved, and are expected
to run within few seconds as fast
as the cars Of last year, which were
powered with engines Of almost

NOW FOR A REAL CONVEN-
TION.

- ~ ss3
The Democratic National Con-
vention is in session at San Fran
cisco this week Under circum-
stances that must gladden. and en-
thuse all militant democrats. The
REPUBLICAN convention at Chicago
has made the path Of democracy
smooth. All the party need do to
insure triumph at the polls Nov.
2 is to be true to itself in the con-
vention now in session. And sure
" in the Chicago affair it has had
a horrible example of political
chicanery which must restrain it
from any disposition to initiate
the evasion and false pretense Of
partisan politics as practiced by
the republican leaders at Chicago.
President Wilson pointed the
way to party success with unerr-
ing judgment and crystal clear
ness in his interview last week in
the New York World. He calls on
Mhe democratic national conven-
tion to be honest with the people
| and trust in their sense of honor
and justice. Whatever else the
democratic party may do" he says,
4'I hope it's convention at San
Francisco will say just what it
means on every issue, and that it
will not resort either to ambig-
uity or evasion in doing So"
Surely this sound advice, and
timely. The people had enough
and to spare of ambiguity and eva
sion in the Chicago proceedings.
They will relish frankness and
clearness as a breath of fresh air
is welcomed in fetid room. Hon
esty is still the best policy, even in
politics-though you can't make
republican old guard politician
believe it.
President Wilson is eternally
right in his declaration that the
League of Nations lilies too deep
to permit of any political skull
duggery, any attempt to sidestep
or evade moral and Humanitarian
responsibilities; much too solemn,
in view of the sacrifice made by
the oldiers Of America, to treat it
lightly or iguore."
The republicans at Chicago at
tempted to- concoct a League of
Nations plank that anything
could be read inte-that would
fit the bitterest "bitter-ender" or
the mildest mild reservationist"
or even Henry Cabot Lodge, and
they succeeded in compounding a
tumble of words that is an insult
to intelligence and reproach to
the self-respect Of the candidates
who assume TO defenG il. Nothing
like that, of course, is to be ex-
pected from San Francisco. The
convention will endorse the
League of Nations in manner
which leaves no possible ground
for misinterpretation, and it will,
it is to be hoped, treat all other
issues in the same frank, honest
and manly fashion.
AS to candidates, there are a
dozen available men, any of whom
would shine in comparison with
Harding as an arc light to tai
low dip, and no fears need be felt
as to the choice of the convention.
Nothing but inconceivable blum
dering on the part Of an intelli-
