nomination. Mr.. Hoover was just as
kindly and as Indifferent to them as he
had been to his Democratic admirers.
The letter was a ~ st shock to those
who thought they had him nominated as
"a Democrat. 1t couH be explained on
q theory, but the Hoover candidacy was
requiring too many theories.
Difference with Wilson vital
Then came the letter of last April
which indicated difference with the
President and finally the statement of
Thursday which made that difference
plain The difference is vital il Mr..
Wilson is to dominate the Democratic
party at San Francisco. And he is.
Mr.. Wilson says the reservation on Ar
ticlc y is tremendous issue. Mr..
Hoover agrees with Mr. Bryan that it
is too small a thing to make a row
about. There is no reconCiling these
two positions. II Mr.. Wilson means
what he says Mr. Hoover cannot be his
candidate nor can he be the Democrats
candidate much as the Democracy would
like to get away from the Article y
issue Mr.. Wilson has created.
Washington is beginning to have n
new theory about Mr.. Hoover. 1t is
that he meant what he said when he
UeCluItu he WAS not u tuuuluult lOi
either party's nomination. The last CX-
PLANTATION Washington is ready to aC-
cppt of any declaration relating to poll
ties is that it means what it says. And
it takes some of the JOY out of life to
suppose that Mr.. Hoover is really. truly
and honestly no candidate. and that
there is not deep and well played
game going on of which he is the bPnc-
ficiary. And as Washington views it
Mr.. Hoover is behaving admirably as no
candidate at all. prcfcrring his convic.
tions to Office. but as every Washington
comment implicS-whnt strange taste
The other Republican candidates re.
fuse to accept this theory that Mr..
Hoover is really. truly and honestly no
candidate They see him in view of his
latest statement az heading their way.
They insist quite firmly that he is
Democrat and should not intrudc. They
feel about him the way the moon felt
about the suns shining in the middle
of the night. in "Alicc Through a Look
ing Glass.
Its very rude Of him" sch said.
ito come and sool the fun. But the
truth is that if Mr.. Hoover is head
ing toward his old Marty he is making
little progress. He is not seriously CON
sidercd by the men who will make the
Republican nomination at Chicago. You
will hear n hundred discussions Of The
prospects at Chicago without hearing
