st. Paul, Mimi, March 1s.-Com-
plete reports compiled today from
the Republican conventions in So
counties yesterday show that So
counties decided not to formally in.
dorse a candidate for president; 27
counties instructed their delega-
tions to cast their vote for Major
General Leonard Wood at the state
convention here Saturday; i've
counties endorsed Governor Frank
o. Lowden, and the other two went
to Hiram johnson.
Comparison of the county con-
veption reports with the reports
from the presidential preference
primary held Monday shows that
Wood received a majority Of the
delegates in the counties which
voted to send uninstructed dele
gates to the state convention and
to the district conventions.
Campaign managers for Major
General Leonard Wood declared to-
day that the fact that county con-
ventions did not formally instruct
their delegates to the district and
state conventions would not have
any effect upon control OF the dis
trict and state conventions.

Washington, d. c., March 49,
Herbert Hoover is cunning for the
Republican presidential nomination,
or rather. to use political vo abu-
larry, his friends are doing the gun
ming. The latest proof of Mr.
Hoover's Republicanism has Just
been issued in the form Of a hither-
to unpublished letter dated April
II, 1919. which shows that the for
mer food administrator apprOxi-
mates the position of Senator
Lodge, if not Senator Fall, on many
phases OF International policy and
that while he advocates a league
of nations, his conception of what
the measure of American participa-
ton shall be differs considerably
from that of President Wilson.
Just what is the purpose of these
revelations of letters written year
ago but bearing on the situation to-
day cannot be discovered from the
Hoover supporters but other revela-
tions are promised. Before long il
will be disclosed:
That Herbert Hoover is not ian
Englishman," as the Hearst press
has branded him, but on the other
hand fought the British more bit
terly than anybody in Paris and al
one time threatened complete ex.
posure of his negotiations with the
British over food matters unless
pledges which MIR. Hoover consid.
cred had been given by Great Brit.
ain were kept.
Friend Of Farmer.
That Herbert Hoover is not the
foe of the farmers but that he is
their friend and that he had moth.
ing to do with the fixing of the
price of wheat, which act was thu
work of a commission appointed
by President Wilson and which wa!
entirely independent of MIR. Hoov
er's control or influence.
That Herbert Hoover doesn't ap
prove OF the seven years of Wilson
administration, especially its do.
mestic policies.
And, finally. it is averred that Mr.
! Hoover is more closely identified
with the Republican than Demo
cratic point of view.
Now it must be clearly under.
stood that Mr.. Hoover is not defin
ing his political affiliations or in
clinations. He has naively asked
what is going to be the difference
this year between the Republican
and Democratic platforms-I shal
wait and see which is progressive
and which is reactiOnary."
Dig Up Record.
But the politicians in both parties
don't like that and insist upor
knowing what Mr.. Hoover though
| or did in the past. So the RECORD
is being unfolded. The unpublish
ed letter is more effective argu
ment than any member of the Re
