HOOVER IS FOR CHICAGO PLATFORM.
Statement Issued in Which Any Doubt as to
Attitude of Hoover on Party is Cleared
Definitely.

! WASHINGTON, June 1S.-Herbert
d, Hoover today threw his supper,
solidly behind Senator Warren G
Harding and called on all shades OF
the republican party to support the
presidential nominee.
! Hoover announced his support OF
the republican ticket after breakfast
ing with Harding at the latter's Invi
tation. The announcement definitely
cleared the doubt surrounding
Hoover's attitude as the result of the
Chicago convention
Hoover reiterated previous state
ments of Senator Harding that Hard.
ing would issue no statement OF po,l
| cies until after the democratic con,
lvention. '..- #g tt-[
'I need not reiterate my conviction
that the constructive ability so crifi
Icaliy needed for the vigorous bust
ness reorganization of the federal
government and to meet the many
economic issues before US lies In the
republican party" Hoover declared IN
the conclusion Of his statement.
In response to inquiries, Hoover
said in letter which has been sen,
ito the questioners:
"I beg to acknowledge the receipt
of your letter I have received many
hundreds of communications from
friends regarding various courses
with respect to the situation that
Ieventuated in Chicago, for undoubt-
Iedly many of the independent and
progressive republicans like myself
iare greatly disappointed over some
tendencies that were apparent at
Chicago.

'If there was to have been unity ~
the convention there had to be a large
measure of compromise. The comprc-
misses on the platform and the can
didate are proof that we have not
arrived at an era Of new political and
social tendencies-and Tor this same
reason the same divergent groups and
the same attitude OF compromise VIII
be found in the democratic conver-
ton.
Nothing could be more disastrous
than the development of several par
ty organizations representing the
complexion Of every group in the
country. With the legislative and
executive functions more widely sepa-
rated than in any other democracy,

parties. II we should come to this
| position, there will be no possibility
of the American people securing an
! expression of the will of the majority,
and we shall be entirely ruled by log
| rolling minorities of sterile political
coalitions.
81 am convinced that those of US
and ] believe they are the majority
of the party--who hold more definite
views could not, even were we SO in
clined, successfully effect the con-
summation of such views outside the
party, and that our duty is to en-
deavor to bring them to realization
within the party organization itself
| as the issues on which they bear.
"The tendencies Of the party will
gain their meaning only from actual
| administration. e5s
Il am convinced that unity of ac-
tion among the liberal thinkers of
the party, especially if they exert,
themselves in the current of congres.
sional elections, will insure the coun.
try against legislative reaction.
"1f the republican party is not to
be irrevocably split. cannot con.
ceive that Senator Harding will for
one moment submit the administra-
tive SIDE or the government to the
domination of any group or coterie.
Furthermore, we have the possibility
of having measures and policies de-
termined by full cabinet RESPONSE
bility and of having cooperation re-
stored with the legislative side OF
the government.
For all these reasons, / believe
that those of us who look upon party
organization not from the point OF
view of partisanship, but solely from
the point of view of it's usefulness
as an agency of maximum service to
the country. should support the re-
publican party at the polls"
Hooyer's letter endorsed the repub
lican platform, except in some minor
particulars. Coming on the heels Of
President Wilson's condemnation Of
that document the letter was re-
garded here as making further con-
sideration of Hoover as democratic
presidential possibility out of the
question. He had been mentioned by
democratic leaders now at French

the republican party OF my invitation
to make the league on nations the is
sue OF the campaign. | am even
more confident that such referen-
dunn will confirm my faith that the
American people desire it above any
, thing that political party may now
provide, and that they will condemn
the republican policy of denying them
the consummation of their hopes. No
one will welcome referendum on
that issue more than l.
This thing (the league of nations)
lies too deep to permit OF any -pollti-
cal skull duggery, any attempt to side
step or evade moral and humanitar-
ian responsibilities much too solemn
to treat so lightly or ignore.
'.The republican policy of negotia,
ton has been persisted in for the sole
purpose Of advancing republican
chances for the winning of the coming
presidential election, and has never
reflected sincere desire to i.Inel1o-
rate the effect the measures adopted
for protecting the country in time or
war; The republican policy has been
rather to exaggerate in the measures.
| hope and believe that the platform
to be adopted at San Francisco will be
more progressive and clearer in under
standing than that enunciated by the
republicans at Chicago. The charac-
ter of the men who will sit as dele
gates in the San Francisco conVen-
ton should be sufficient guarantees
that the issues upon which the cam
paign is to be fought will be met with
definite and concrete statements and
not cloudy and ambiguous terms as
was the case in the Chicago conVen-
tion.
"The republican convention was the
apothesis of reaction. 1t was the dl-
rect antitheses of what l hope the
democratic convention at San Fran
cisco will turn out to be. The leaders
who call themselves progressive and
who pretended to speak for the pro-
gressive element in the republican
party sacrificed every principle that
made attractive the movement OF
eight years ago in order to gratlfy the
ambition of some of the present day
leaders to prevent the people of the
United States from fulfilling their hon
est obligations to the rest Of the world
and to themselves. The abandonment
at Chicago of the progressive spirit
was woefully tragic. l hope and be-
lieve that the tragedy at Chicago will
provide the democratic convention
with an object lesson in this direc-
ton that will not be overlooked.
