GERARD VIEWS HOOVER
AS NOW A PARTISAN

NEW YORK, April 12-The recent
movement in favor Of Herbert Hoover
for President was "a protest against
party control. not a declaration that in
all the broad United States Herbert
Hoover was the only man fit to be our
President" declared James w. Gerard
III an address Saturday night at the JEFF
ferson day dinner of the National Dem
ocratic Club.
"At the jackson day dinner in Wash

Hoover by the democratic party" Mr..
Gerard said. THAT was when ] and
other admirers of Hoover saw in him a
man who had done good service. who
seemed Independent and who could af-
ford to wait the offer of nomination.
But a Herbert Hoover partisan,
seeking only the republican nomination,
standing hat in hand before the house
when the forces of reaction are in
council. is quite another Hoover. 1t
