So it is not strange that de.
mands lor his candidacy have come
spontaneously with increasing en-
phasis. Nor is it strange Mr. Hoov-
er at last yielded to the Emporium
tiles of His California neighbors
when they pointed out the great
need Of a leader. if the state was
not to be counted with those who
were endeavoring to make the Re
public a hermit-sealed into an
aloofness that Mckinley. Roose-
welt and Taft all have said is i'm
possible and undesirable.
Whether Mr.. Hoover is to be
nominated or not depends on the
voluntary action OF the Republican
rank and file. His candidacy, if
one ever was, is based on popular
self-determinaticn. He is not a po-
litical regular. and is not sympa-
thetic to machines. In this re-
spect he parallels General Wood
as in other specific matters. The
decision between the two is likely
to turn according as there is judg-
ment Of personal competence. Cen
eral wood has the advantage or
having been longer at work, but
Mr.. Hoover seems to have the ad-
vantage Of the stronger ground
swell and more fervid supporters.
The Republican party is fortunate
in having offered to it candidates
so exceptional. and there seems
TO good reason why the supporters
OF either should wrangle them
selves into undue heat.
But one serious objection is rails
ed to Mr.. Hooyer's candidacy
namely, that he supported Presi-
dent Wilson fer reelection. This
action he probably regrets now as
much as any one, and scarcely is
to be charged against him. Wise is
the party that sometimes forgets
and allows bygones to be bygone3.

NEXT WAR
a SHORT ONE

The first battle of the next war
will be the last battle, according
to the belief of Brigadier General
Mitchell. His reasoning is not i'm
possible. 1t is very acceptable for
the simple reason that his predic--
ton that the first battle Of the
next war will be an aerial battle
lends color to the belief that it
will be the last
The nation with the greatest az
mazda of flying naching will hold
the power in future wars. Great
fleets Of airplanes cannot be over
come by any other force than
greater air fleets. The plane has
been developed to the point where
it can carry tons of freight These
tons can we'll be made up OF giant
bombs that will reduce everything
beneath to fragments.

MR.. HOOVER'S
CANDIDACY.

The reasons for Mr.. Hoover's
great strength as a candidate are
self-declaratory so manifest that
they have pushed him forward, al.
though he has little gift for person.
al publicity. Not picturesque or
dramatic, and occupied with grab.
bling work, nevertheless he is the
one war figure whose repute has
not slumped.
The world first knew of him as
an American who Immediately re
acted to the great moral issues of
the war. He abandoned his private
business to become the first of our
nothing-a-year man. lie did not talk
Service, he did it.
Then in Belgium noble people
was about to perish from starva
ton. Tie unique conception came
to him that it was possible to serve
them, though behind the enemy's
lines. The TASK was colossal in its
financial. administrative and dipIo-
matte difficulties. But it gloriously
succeeded, and the work was so eX.
tended as to minister TO vast po9u
lations. Mr.. H0oVer's executive
ability was on parity with his hui
manitarian spirit.
Then as the most influential
member OF the Supreme Economic
Council he came into intimate touch
with the Industrial and social prob
IONS left by the war and he quick
ly won recognition as one Of the
worlds foremost international
statesmen.
Americans are proud people
some say vain people. So there is
not an American worthy Of the
name who does not feel enlarged
by the thought that this young man
is fellow-American Of an intense
and veracious type. In Iowa, in
California and a young nan in Aus
tralia with no capital but his brains
and character, he was not distin.
guishable from the rest of us. In
his rise to fame each of US sees
himself written large and is reas--
sured in the faith that the Repuo-
lie still means opportunity.
With no titles or other artificial
distinctions to confer, the Ameri-
can way to honor is to elect to
high office. SO Mr.. Hoover, not to
his personal liking. finds himself
drafted as a presidential candidate.
with many thousands who never
saw him enthusiastic in his behalf.
But his candidacy by no means
rests on sentiment. He Is notably d
national man, belonging to no see
ton Of the country. He is a special
list touching two issues command
ing public attention-qoreign rela-
tons and the new organization of
industry. His shop council plan
in many respects IS the most cen
structive pro oosa, for Industrial
harmony so ar Punched.
He is a progressive Republican
of the kind Roosevelt loved and
dreams OF social justice. He has
great executive ability and is cap
able, if any man is, of systematic
ing our complicated, expensive aud
inefficient governtal machine. In
his difficult dealings with suspic-
ious governments he has been d
skilful diplomat, and if he reaches
the White House the government
no longer will De disorganized by

MARKET DISPLAYED
AN UPWARD TREND
Rails and Oils Held Leadership,
but Improvement Was
Progressive

New York, Oct. 20.-In so far as
prices were concerned today's stock
market was big improvement in COM
parison with the Immediately preceding
sessions. The trading. however, con-
tinued Of highly professional character
and the trend reversal was apparently
influenced more by technical rather than
by fundamental conditions. The i'm
provement was Of a progressive type
gradually extending to the various
groups under the leadership Of the rail-
road issues and the oil shares which
continued to hold the foremost atten-
ton and with the rails still showing the
same significant consistent strength The
dullness following the rallies indicated
the buying power apart from the cover.
ing operations Of the professional con-
( tingent was still very limited. BY some
observers this was attributed to the
encouragement which has attended the
price reduction movement and curtail-
ment of industrial activity.
Little in the way of news turned
up to affect the market much either
way. The deadlock in the British coal
strike situation was tempered to some

pressed in the better informed circles
that the controversy will be quickly
adjusted. The street seemed to find
quite good deal of bullish ammunition
in Senator Roots speech last night on
the League of Nations and was from
oil indication the handspring in the
change of market sentiment. All tcstl-
mouy coming to hand seemed to discredit
the recent reports of immediate cut in
steel prices by the independent compa.
nies, and the word was passed around
that Judge Gary's speech on Friday
would be highly reassuring in SO far as
the general steel Industry was con-
cerned.
There was no essential change in the
money situation and while the supply
! of demand funds was evidently more
! plentiful the renewal rate was main
tanned at per cent The foreign en-
| change market also became frmCr after
early softness, which was accepted as
! reliable signs OF a turn for the better
in the English labor crisis.

GRAIN MARKET

Chicago, Oct. 90 Scattered covering:
induced by the opening OF the Federal
inquiry here into the price Of the grain,
caused firmer undertone in the WI heat
market here at the start this morning.
When announcement was made that this
inquiry was to take place. quotations
moved up sharply and the trade looked
for IA repetition today. Buying support
disappeared on the upturn, however, and
the undertone became weak Immediately
after the opening.
December opened at $2.0G to $40
against $2.05A at the close yesterday.
March started at $1.98 to $1.9Gh
against $195A at close yesterday.
