E II. HOYT MENTIONED FOR I'M.
PORTANT POSITION.

The following is taken from re-
cent issue OF the Iowa State Republi-
can, a publication recently launched
at Des Moines in the interests OF the
Republican party. Mr.. Hoyt's Man
chester friends have not been informed
as to his future intentions, but are
pleased to know that he has received
some very flattering offers.
No less than four attractive offers
have been made to Edwin H. Eioyt.
former state treasurer, who quits Of
flee this week at the state house.
Political gossip couples his name
with a plan to have him appointed
treasurer Of the United States. The
movement is fostered by republicans
in many sections Of the state,
although Hoyt has made no move
personally In the matter.
Offers from several corporations
have come to Hoyt recently. During
his reign as state treasurer, Hoyt
displayed marked ability as public
official, and as a business man. That
he is no politician was manifest
when he Suffered defeat in the re-
cent campaign. He was appointed
treasurer by Gov w. L. Harding in
May, 1917. He did not indulge in
personalities or what might be called
"hot campaigning In the 1920 pri-
maries, and lost the nomination.
"Hoyt is a native Of Iowa, born
in Manchester, Delaware county, in
1871. He attended Iowa College at
Grinnell and Upper Iowa University
at Fayette, graduating from the latter
in 1891.
"He organized the Lamont Savings
Bank, was state senator during the
thirty-third and thirty-fourth gen.
eral assemblies. Mr.. Hoyt has under
consideration the several offers that
have been placed before him. He
has not yet decided upon his future
business connections, but will do SO
within the next few weeks"
