NEW YORK WORLD
BOOMS HOOVER

The New York World in a long
editorial, gives Herbert Hoover it:
unqualified endorsement for the
Presidency and pledges its support
for him whether he runs as Demo
crat or Republican, or as Progressive
or Independent.
The editorial reads, in part:
''In the judgment of the World,
the best equipped and best qualified
mar to succeed Woodrow Wilson as
President of the United States is
Herbert c. Hoover.
eve should be glad to support Mr..
Hoover as the Democratic candidate
for President on a platform that
represented the historical principles
of the Democratic party. We should
be glad to support him as an indie
pendent candidate on a platform of
Progressive liberalism. We should
not hesitate to support him as the
Republican candidate on a platform
representing the kind of government
Mr.. Hoover has exemplified in his
public career
"Those Americans who want q bus
mess mar for President can find him
in Mr.. Hoover, who has brilliantly
managed one of the most successful
business undertakings known to his
tory. Those who want a progressive
in the White House will find in him
an instinctively democratic progress
sive. Those who want administra-
tive ability will find in him admins
trative ability of the highest order
which has proved itself on three con-
tinents. Those who want an I'M
yielding champion of human rights
and a responsible government under
law will find in him a candidate about
whom they need have no misgivings.
I'm point of ability, in point of
experience, in point of capacity to
deal comprehensively with the new
problems of reconstruction, Mr..
Hoover towers above all the candi-
dates who have been brought into
the contest. There are no arguments
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1920-01-29

against him except the arguments
that are spawned out of the stagnant
waters of professional politics. For
itself, the World does not care
whether Mr.. Hoover calls himself a
Democrat or a Republican or a Pro-
gressive or an Independent. He is
the kind of man that ought to be
President of the United States, and
he is the man the World intends to
support for President of the United
States regardless of all artificial bar
of a debased and discredited
partisanship."

The first occasion was just prior

just recently when the beard menu

Il am not familiar with the sub

teachers in getting up a sO-called

Senator Harrison asked Mrs. Cook
why a meeting. at which Neville
Thomas, a teacher of history at
Dunbar High school. was to speak.
had been called off by Bruce. She
replied it was because there was
some fear that Thomas was too rad
ical, and Senator Harrison asked
what she meant by Thomas being a
radical.
"A good Democrat" she replied.
Senator Dillingham;, Republican
member of the committee, could not
restrain his laughter, even after the
questioning was resumed, but con-

The main difficulty, said Mrs.

the high school system.
She also charged there was great
confusion in the curriculum and the
textbooks. different books being
used in different schools.
These recommendations were not
carried out in all the schools. as
requested by the school board, said
Mrs. Gerry. but in those where they
were put in operation, there was a

Pullen and Stephen Terhorst from

funds with which to buy feed or they
will not he able to put in much of a
crop. The section of the country
northeast of Minot was probably hit
by the d1outh worse than any other,
but in every locality some assistance
will be required.
A petition signed by 20 farmers
near Deering, asking for help for feed
and seed, was received by the COM
missioners.
The commissioners, after deliberate
consideration, rejected all applications
for furnishing seed and feed and it is
said that they are not apt to do any
thing further with it. y.
