This organization was launched i'm.
medlately after q luncheon to Ralph
Arnold, vice chairman of the national
Hoover committee, at Salt Lake hotel
n April 7. There were seventy-6ve
present when the Hoover supporters
got together for the first time--the
largest attendance for an initial meet
ing Of q political body yet held during
campaign preparations here. Enthu-
siasm was strong at this luncheon.
Mr.. Arnold made a short business
talk, devoid of nOn-essentints and de-
livered the brief message Of national
headquarters: go to work." And the
Utah club Is doing that with zest.
Mr.. Arnold gave clinching and valid
answers to the charges made by the
opposition. Following his talk tele-
grams OF Endorsement from Utah. Ida
no. Nevada and Arizona points were
read. They tersely told Of the un-
questioned success OF the Hoover work
ers.
"The most encouraging phase Of our
efforts In Utah thus far has been the
support volunteered BY the man who
has his nose to the grlndstone," de-
clared Mr.. Hansen, Of the executive
committee. Hoover supporters are de-
veloping regardless Of sect or creed.
race or color. The letters we receive
IN +, ariably convey tie thought that the
United States needs first and foremost
a business administration They
state 1t Is their belief Hoover Ii the
business man to handle the job prop
erly. They are convinced Of his SIM
cerity and real ability.
Hoover Is not so much the pOliti-
clan as he Is the capable business
man. He has mind that few lead
ers In our country have. The best
argument for Herbert Hoover Is his
'bigness'. Everyone knows Of his great
brain and capacity for dlspOsing OF
knotty problems, either vast or inf
Intestinal in scope. 1t Is not necessary
to mention his unblemished record as
national food administrator. Just read
his record In the business world. He
Is big man In whatever he under
takes. And he Is Just what the west
erner calls square shooter
'Mr. Hoover's candidacy Is open and
above board. He was not seeking the
office. If he had been. he made a
very unbusinesslike poor start by not
stating his affiliations promptly.
Hoover was engaged In another mercl'
full undertaking. me records Of con.
gress will show, when his friends were
beseeching him to run for president.
He did not decide to run until he COM
pleted his object, namely getting "A large
sum from congress for carrying on
much needed foreign work.
1.-THE main object Of the Hoover
clubs Is to show by enrolment the ex.
tent of the public interest in national
Issues as expressed by Herbert Hoo
yer. This Is desired In order to con-
vince delegates 10 the Chicago con-
ventlon OF the support OF this move
ment from all elements In the commu'
nifty. This line of action Is thought to
be wiser than at this late date and
with unequal organization to initiate
new contests In the primaries.
Women OF Utah will play vitality
important part In the Hoover drive
In Utah. They are already well or
ganized and actively canvassing the
entire state by mall telephone and tele'
graph. The Hoover state executive
committee prldes itself In the fact that
II has such valuable support of the
women. Women In the campaign are
not organized In separate auxiliary,
but rather have their place shoulder
to shoulder with the men workers
They are on m equal footing. The
roster of the womens' committee
which will be enlarged from time to
time is as follows: Mrs. Henry NJ
Atkinson, Mrs. w. o. Cleland, Miss
Claire Ellerbeck, Mrs. A. ]. Gorham

Smith, Mrs. Selma Tingey, OF Salt
Lake and Mrs. Edward Bicksell, Mrs
]. G.. Falck, Mrs. A. w. Putnam.
Members of the Stanford alumni re.
siding In Salt Lake and other Utah
towns are manifesting considerable In.
.esest In Hoover's candidacy. They are
