standing of the problems that must
be met are boldly offering themselves
for an office for which even the best
mind and the strongest talents are
hardly adequate. g
Of all the men whose names have
been mentioned, The World believes
that Mr.. Hoover alone measures up
to the Presidency in the fullest sense.
! 1t is not a happy state Of affairs IN
which the American people find them. r,
selves, but it is an inevitable state OF
affairs in view of the political prac-
tices which they have tolerated dur
ing the last twenty years. They al
lowed Mr.. Bryan to club every Demo
crat into submission who was not at
> heart Populist, and they allowed Mr.:
Roosevelt to put the Wall Street brand
on every Republican who would not
e meekly indorse "My Policies"
u The fundamental rights and liber-
e ties of the American people are
y menaced today as they have never
been menaced before. On the one
a hand radicalism is pushing it's theories
It to the very verge of anarchy, and on
IS the other hand conservatism has
b ioined hands with Bourbonism to de-
n stroy liberty in order to maintain the
le extreme individualistic theory OF
r. property rights. Between these two
he greedy groups of fools and fanatics,
there is a great middle ground which
al is held by the vast majority OF Amer
ID leans and which they will continue to
hold under competent leadership, but
It. competent leadership there must be,
st and no man better embodies it than
of HERBERT G. Hoover.
He has worked with his hands, and
nj he knows from personal experience
at, the point of view Of the man who
works with his hands. He has been a
tie director of labor in great enterprises
lu. and he knows from personal expert
a ence the responsibilities and Difficult
lot ties of the director of labor. He
on knows the economic condition of the
world better, perhaps, than any othel
lso American, and economic understand
ing is now vital element in govern
the ment. He knows the diplomacy ant
the politics of Europe as few Amerl
of cans have ever known them. More
is over, he knows them at first hand, a
the he knows conditions in the Far Eas
no. at first hand, and such knowledg
