mia when a youngster. and was gradu-
ated as a mining engineer from Leland

This venture proved highly success
! full, and after spending several years
as the head Of these operations he be-
! came director of a dozen mining COM

ing the peoples of central Europe.
Long before the national conven-
tons last summer Mr.. Hoover was

ations. He was at first advanced by
| some democratic leaders. but he final

| campaign was started in his behalf.
/ but his candidacy never reached a
| formidable stage.
