NelU York World Comes
Out for Herbert Hoover
Not Particular as to Which
Party Shall Select Him
as Leader.
PARTY LINES BROKEN
Fundamental Rights and Lib
critics of American People
Menaced,

Washington, Jan. 22.-(SpecaL)-
he New York World today declared
for Herbert Hoover for president, in
double column editorial. The for
mer food administrator is pronounced
the best equipped and best qualified
man to succeed Woodrow Wilson.
The Worlds attitude aroused keen
interest in Washington. The Worlds
stand for Hoover comes as the result
Of several months investigation of
sentiment as it has developed over
the country. Though not stated in
this editorial, it is known that the
World has had representatives in the
field for some tune on this mission.
The big democratic organ declares
itself for Hoover, whether he is nom
mated by the democrats, republicans,
progressives or independents, 'on a
platform representing the kind of
government which Mr. Hoover has
exemplified in his public career
The high points in the Worlds edi-
torial are as follows:
The partisan objections to Mr..
Hoover are arguments in his favor.
The American people are tired of
professional politicians and disgusted
with party politics.
The old party lines have broken
down so far as the rank and file OF
voters are concerned, and in respect to
principles both parties are bankrupt.
Although the spirit of partisanship
has rarely been more bitter or more
brutal, and never since secession has it
mil
the country, the battle of these warning
politicians is "A fictitious conflict.
MI Taft was Mr.. Wilson's opponent
for the presidency in 1912; yet In so far
as fundamental questions of govern
ment are concerned it would he difficult
to detect any important differences be-
tween Mr.. Taft and Mr. Wilson.
Mr.. Hughes was Mr.. Wilson's op-
ponent in 1916 and it would be equally
difficult to detect any important differ
ences between Mr.. Hughes and Mr..
Wilson. They might disagree about this
policy or that policy; but in so far as
their public utterances OF the last three
years are an index to their political
principles these differences would be
personal rather than partisan in any
true sense. And if one wished to carry
the parallel further he might well ask
what there is to distinguish a democrat
like Atty.-Gen. Palmer from a republi-
can like Speaker Sweet, of the New
York assembly. Both of them have set
forth to establish new doctrine of
Pru-Sianism which is a Verltable cruel
tNion of the spirit of American insti-
tutionS.
The fundamental rights and liberties
Of the American people are menaced to-
day as they have never been menaced
before. On the one hand radicaism
is pushing its theories to the very verge
of anarchy, and on the other hand con-
scrVatism has Joined hands with
bOllrbOniSnl TO DESTROY liberty In order
