Was Against Reservations
Any person who is trying to find out
what the women think about Hoover
PROBABLY can get many different shades
or opinion, but certainly the politicians
mere want to be satisfied pretty thor
oughly that he is not unpopular in that
quarter before they would give him their
support.
The fact that "The World" said it
weuld support Mr.. Hoover, no matter
what party he belongs to, did not to-day
cause any drift to him from the Repub-
lcan ranks. Mr.. Hoovers backing up
of the Presidents demand to the coun-
try that it return a Democratic Congress
IN November, 1918, has not been forgot
ten by the Republicans, nor has the fact
he has been for ratification of the peace
treaty without reservations been over
looked, although he was said to-day to
have recently declared himself in favor
Of some reservations to the treaty.
The Republicans are pretty we'll set
at present anyhow, with q long list of
candidates from among whose ranks the
party, as it is reflected here, is salts
fed to pick nominee, and at present
there is no disposition to wander into
unknown fields and choose a man about
whom they know comparatively little.
Some Of the comment among Sen
ators on the Hoover candidacy follows:
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska,
Democrat: at is my belief that if
Hoover can be nominated he can be
elected. lie is an upright, outstanding
man Of ability, second to none in the
world and in my judgment would make
a splendid President. The only ques-
ton is whether the politicians are
willing to lay aside narrow partisan
cons iderations long enough to nominate
him"
Senator Phelan, Of Calfornia-Her-
bert Hoover Is not party man. His
political thought leans to progressive
and humane legislation. He is a type
OF the average citizen Of California
who is not partisan, but deeply con-
cerned with principles and measures
Judged by their merit. Personally
think that the country is ripe to enter
tain the candidacy Of such man as
Hoover. and it is not beyond the range
OF possibility that a Democratic CON
vention or Progressive convention
should nominate him.
Senator Wocott, of Delaware, Demo-
crat Ill support any man the con-
Senator Trammell, Of Florida, Demo
crat-There are other people / prefer
to Hoover as the Democratic nominee.
Senator Robinson, Of Arkansas, Dem
ocrat-Hoover is very popular in the
country, but l don't care to discuss
him as Presidential candidate.
Senator Kirby, of Arkansas, Demo-
craft don't think either political
party is in position to indorse Mr..
Hoover for President.
Senator Mcclellan, of Tennessee.
Democrat-I never voted for a Repub-
llcan, and / never WILL
Senator Smith, of Georgia, Demo-
craft won't vote for Hoover, no mat
ter what party nominates him.
wouldn't vote for any Englshman.
Senator Underwood, Alabama, Demo-
crat-l will vote for the nominee of
the Democratic convention.'
Senator Smith, South Carolina. Dem
ocrat-The Republicans are welcome
to him. prefer q man who has been
more closely identified with affairs in
this country
Senator Gronna. North Dakota, Re-
pubilcan-Out in our country we don't
take Hoover seriously. Why didn't
they pick the Prince OF Wales while
he was here if they wanted. an English
man for President?
Nice-President Marshall-I refuse to
comment until | find out what ticket
he is going to run on.
