Democratic nominees, like Palmer and
were glad Hoover had writ
ten a letter saying he was naturally
affiliated with the Republicans. This
their most dangerous coinpe-
ticn---at least. they think he has been
removed.
But the most significant fact of the
whole business Is what Is happening
under the surface In both parties
namely a demand for Hoover irrespec-
tive OF party.
People Favor Hoover.
Here is something that shows which
way the wind blows: Several members
of congress who have been back home"
sounding out their constituents nave
come back to washington. A man who
went to Tennessee in the interest Of
the McAdoo candidacy came back with
the story that the Democrats want
Hoover. A man who went to Califor-
MIA for Hiram johnson Is back with q
confidential report that 'its all Hoover
in California" A man who knows the
situation in Minnesota and is himself
supporting another candidate says
scores of newspapers are coming out
for Hoover. Only one returning OBJ
server-a member Of congress who
looked into the situation in North Da-
kota for his own candidate says the
.Nonpartisan League" is against
Hoover.
The burden Of the tales brought back
IS that the nation is sick and tired OF
the political maneuvering OF both par
ties and that the effect of the failure
OF the treaty in the senate is to hold
present office holders responsible fol
being guided by politics rather than the
national interests.
THAT is something independent news
papers throughout the country have
been telling congress for many weeks
but the truth is only now being real
lied. And the name of Herbert Hoover
has been seized upon as the one meant
of expressing the resentment OF thu
country against both the Republican
and Democratic machines In the gov

Of the records has been purely analyti-

in view of national prohibition they
are interesting"
In an article contributed 10 the
Spectator, which appears to-day. DIR
Hoffman says:
Perhaps IL Is too early to expect far
reaching changes In homicidal frequency
but il is certainly contrary TO popular
expectation that the rate for 1919 should
actually have been higher than durinf
the preceding year, when alcohoii'
liquors were sold freely In most ~ the
cities under review.
Human life was never as insecure IN
the United States as to-day. and prac'
tically nothing is being done In the
direction OF reducing the risk OF homi-
cidal frequency"

I.UcERNE. Switzerland, Nov. IL
Former King Constantine in his first
pronouncement respecting the result
Of the Greek elections said to the AS
sociated Press to-day:
al cannot go to Athens at the head
of any one political party, and there
fore Insist upon n plebiscite for my
return or the return Of one of my sons.
It is for the Greek people to decide
If the people want me shall return to
Athens, unless, of course, prevented
by unjust force"
II knew that the mass of the Greek
people were with me and had confidence
and hone in me, as the elections have
proved" Constantine continued Ihe
autocratic rule OF Venizelos could not
continue. After the arrnistice Nenizeios
made a political mistake in making his
platform a personal question between
himself and me, and he lost heavily. l

elected"
But" observed the correspondent
"France and Great Britain are reported
to be against your return?"

Replying to another question. Constan-
tine said:
"T cannot help being related to the
Kaiser. but l am not Germanophile, as
my enemies declare. was born and
bred In Greece. which love and which !
hope soon again to see.'
Only once during the conversation did
Constantine show bitterness against
venizelos. This was when he declared
that the Premier had prevented Queen
Sophie from seeing her dying son. King
Alexander This refusal. said Constan-
tine. had greatly affected the Queens
health, and she still was suffering.
Constantine, declared former Foreign
Minister STREET.. the deposed Kings close
adviser, had no confidence in the League
of Nations as constituted at present The
former monarch, however. he added
hoped that the plans outlined by Senator
Harding would lead to a reconstruction
Of the league.
There are nearly half million Greeks
in America and hundred thousand in
Egypt. continued Prof. Streit. of whom
those in America had offered a million
dollars for use in the recent general cleo
tions, which had been refused by the for
mer King. Prof. STREET. added that the
venizelists had spent millions in propa-
ganda In connection with the election
while the followers OF Constantine had
not spent a cent.
Professor STREET. said that Constantine
would probably ask the Greeks residing
in America and Egypt during the course
of the plebiscite to give their opinion for
or against him.
There is a possibility that the former
King may enter Athens at the end OF
December.
