Washington, April 1.-The "battle
over Hoover" is over. s
Republican friends of Herbert H0oys
er claim the victory and confidently
declare he will be the next president.
Hoover Democrats admit they have
lost. But, they assert, 1t will be Inn.
possible for Hoover to SECURE the Re-
publican nomination and force Repub'
licans to accept his platform.
The story Of the "battle for Hoover"
as revealed today by prominent DEM
ocrat. who was openly supporting the
former food chief, makes q unique
page in American political history.
On one side were group Of Hoov.
er's Democratic friends laying to force
their party standards into his hands.
Some Of these Democrats are 50 high
in party councils that their activities
lent color to reports that President
Wilson would back Hoover The
White House, incidentally never saw
fit to deny these reports.
On the other side were Republicans
friends of Hoover insisting that he.
align himself with the g. o. p Hoov-
er Republicans had little or no share
in the organization, but they had on
their side the fact that Hoover had
distinct Republican leanings. Hoover
told Democrats and Republicans he
would not seek the presidency.
"But," came the reply from both
sides, 1.-The country is seeking you and
you must choose to lead the party
which will bring the country the most
benefit. That one is ours"
While Hoover was In Washington at.i
tending sessions OF President Wilson'S
Industrial commission. he wa In the
midst Of his Democratic friends. At
one time. Democrats say, they thought
he had been won over.
Then the commission ended it,
work and Hoover went to New York
where Republican friends had his ear.
From that time on, Hoover, Democrats
say, began to show increasing Repub-
lican learnings. The first real sign
of this, they say, was his treaty STATE
ment showing his position was radtcAA-
ly different from that Of the pFsside1lt
Next came Hoover's teleEram e
California Repdblicans. consehtlkt ~
his name going in the Republican pri-
maries In that state.
This telegram brought about several
informal conferences Of Hoover. Dem
ocrats today, who finally decided they
would drop all effrts in his behalf.
Despite the fact that Hoover has
aligned himself with the Republican
party four Democratic delegates VIII
20 to San Francisco, pledged for him.
They were elected in the New Hamp-
shire primaries.

VOTES FOR WOMEN
AMENDMENT HAS
PASSED IN SENATE

Jackson, Miss, March 30.-Woman
suffrage advocates In the Mississippi
legislature tonight were jubilantly
telegraphing, telephoning and other
to hurry to the capitol for action In
the lower house on the federal woman
suffrage amendment. The senate to.
day passed resolution Of ratification,
reversing previous action and putting
up to members of the lower house the
question as to whether or not Mis-.
sissippi would 60 on the list Of states
favoring nationwide woman suffrage.
The vote today was close. it being
necessary for Lieutenant Governor Cas-
teel to break up tie by casting a
ballot in favor of ratification. Action
of the senate apparently came as
great surprise to opponents of woman
suffrage. A great number of legis-
lators we're absent and plans had been
made to adjourn the assembly Satur-
day night. Hope of ratifying the
amendment was about abandoned by
its supporters.

the senate defeated q ratification re-

nounced that they were certain had
the resolution gotten to the lower
house it would easily have passed.
