Relief EntetprIses

attracted more attention than tho Hoover relief enterprises. in tlle United States and abroad, and when in 1920, the season for pres idential politics opened, his name was early bruited about for the foremost political honor the na- tion can give. There was an elh- barrassing interlude, however, when il appeared that his long life in the engineering field and his later war work had deprived him of any partisan political sta tus whatever. Workers in his be- half had difficulty in settling up on a political party in which to join to forward his interests, and for a time he was proposed as both Republican and Demo cratic presidential nominee. The New York World, for years a stal- wart Democratic organ, warmly espoused his candidacy. and there were echoes of support in other Democratic papers in various sec tions. Soon aftefward, he issued an open letter declaring himself a Republican. But his cause did not flourish, because it had be- hind it none of the party bosses. When his name was placed before the Chicago convention there was spontaneous and prolonged ap- plause ill the galleries, but scarce ly ripple among the delegates. He got only handful of votes.

lation fell into his department, and he gave IS popularization the powerful impulse of his genius for riveting public attention. He went through all the phases the broadcasting devotee exemplifies, a couple of years ahead of the pack, however, and characteristi. cally settled down to doing his listening ill through homely and inexpensive crystal set that matched the facilities most widely used.
 Mr Hoover's passion for order and organization, extending even to the minor matters of personal 'outfitting, serves to release his time and energy for application in an extraordinarily wide field. Early in life he found the select ing of clothes nuisance, and consequently standardized his at tire to set of dark blue suits and hard hats, samples of which he kept parked in a half dozen strategic points around the globe, ready to don when the habili- ments currently serving gave way to wear and weather. On as suming office he put a clipping bureau methodically at the work of assembling all the adverse edi- torial criticism of his conduct fo- his attention; blandishment and praise was left unread. Always a student at heart, he has a daily bundle of papers, articles, and dis cussions of scientific, economic, or political subjects set aside for his home reading at the late hour just preceding sleep.

 While the peace conference was going on, the American Relief Ad- ministration, which MT. Hoover headed, was feeding children in 23 different nations, and adults in half as many. It coped with typhus epidemics, and in many places almost took over govern ment temporarily. Governmental credits, charitable donations, and utilization of surplus war supplies were all involved As late as 1921 there was still some localized or ganization for feeding of children, and MT. Hoover, then d cabinet member, was able swiftly to ex- pand this remnant Of the relief machinery when famine in Soviet Russia led to congressional ap- propriations to help a starving population there. This last of the enterprises which he operated for supplying food to famiJied people on large scale did not wind up until 1923
