tics, had occasion to thumb through tho pages
or the membership book OF the Republican
Club OF New York. 1t is revealed there that
Hoover WAS proposed for membership in this
aggregation OF G. o. p. stalwarts on August
II. 1909. He qualified for membership on
December IL, OF the same year. and regu-
larly paid his dues until he resigned on
June 80, 1917. That certainly fixes his
political status up to that date. None OF his
partisan friends doubted his political fcalty
until he supported President Wilson's de-
mand for the return Of Democratic Con-
gress in November, 1918, and then the
stanchcSt Of them attributed his surprising
attitude to his loyalty to the nations chief
in his war work. His resignation they at
rributed TO the heavy pressure Of his own
tasks and the fact that they had taken him
out OF touch with partisan affairs. At that
time none questioned his fealty to the &. o. p.
This evidence is conclusive so far as it goes.
1t is. OF course, possible that great change
in his political faith has come about but
if it has Hoover owes it to the country at
large and to the thousands OF admirers, who
would not be averse to seeing him in the
White House, to make a general statement
OF his politics even if lie thinks bill of par
ticularS is not necessary. His boom has as
sumed such proportions that his continued
silence threatens to become aggravatng to
the extent of alternating sentiment that has
been growing in his favor.

10000 and folks were hand all the way from
