Mr.. Hoover and pemocracx

HERE has been a revival Of discussion
in political circles of. the possibility Of
Democratic appropriation of Herbert Hoover,
Notwithstanding his deliberate. afiiliation
with the Republican party and his studied
declaration Of candidacy for the Republican
presidential, nomination. The really re-
markable Democratic vote which he received
in Michigan as contrasted with the COM
paratively small Republican vote cast for
him in that State is. OF course. the basis Of
this revival of Democratic interest in the
Californian.
II must seem obvious to most Democratic
voters as we'll as to most Democratic lead
ers that the Hoover movement, in so far as
San Francisco is concerned, is an exploded
prospect. That gentleman had rare OPP
portunity to win the support and applause
of many millions of good Democrats. He
had been an important part Of the Dem
ocratic administration. He had stood Loyalty
with President Wilson during the whole
course Of the war. He had been firm
champion of the league OF nations prin-
ciple. He had intellectual independence and
appealing courage. He had gained fame
throughout the world as an administrator
and as personality OF superior statesman
like qualities.
The Democratic party, broad and liberal
as it has always been, progressive as 1t Is
and unfettered as it has always held itself
with respect to powerful financial interests,
seemed the logical refuge for a man Of the
type the country had assumed Mr.. Hoover 10
be. For months 1t seemed impossible for
the Republicans to write platform upon
which Herbert Hoover dare stand or to
pledge itself to policies to which he could
honestly give his support.
But either the popular conception OF
Hoover was all wrong or else he allowed
the hope of political preferment to change
him almost overnight. After asserting re-
peatedly his absolute independence in poll
tics and declaring with evident sincerity that
he was not seeker Of political honors, he
suddenly became a partisan and a Republ-
can, and as suddenly put in his bid for the
presidential nomination at the hands of the
Republican party. In doing this he burned
his Democratic bridges behind him. He
renowned. even if he did not repudiatc. the
support OF loyal Democratic admirers.
Now that he has discovered that he made
colossal blunder; now that he finds that
Republican hospitality is not to be accord
ed him and he is to he rejected, as 1t APP
pears. by party into which he thrust him
self, ii is too late for him to look with long
ing eyes at the nomination of the opposition
party. The Democracy Of the United States
is not so bankrupt in brains and leadership
that it has TO take up the cause of cast
of Republican and 1t does not need to stul-
tify itself by forcing it's favor upon man
who Joined i'll the chorus OF denunciaton OF
Democratic craftsmanship.
AS has been said many times before, the
Democratic party had far better keep the
faith and 60 down to defeat with cam
didate Of its own brand than to surrender
itself to candidate whose convictions are
SO unstable that he does not know from
day to day where he stands.
