PLAlNFIEL-D MAYOR Is
HERBERT HOOVER BACKER

Mayor Leighton Calkins. of Plain
Aeld, president of the New Jersey
State League of municipalities. has
come out in favor of Herbert Hoover
for president According to a state
ment made by the Plainfield mayor
there are compelling reasons for
preferrnig him to any other candi-
dat. lie is better fitted than n
other candidate to participate in the
solution of the problems which con-
front us in this country. With
Hoover his nonchalence regarding his
nomination fits in with his great hu-
manitarian achievements during the
war and he looks upon the presidency
merely as an opportunity for future
S ervice. Mis- person al qualifications
for the great office are outstanding.
Finally Hoover is a household word.
1t is a name known all over the road,
a name to conjure by. Hoover should
be dominated because IT lie Is he viii
