Hoover War Figure
Made Greater With
Activity OF Peace

passiveness is most surely q sensi-
tive and tempered nature.
outwardly the open acknowledge
ment Of his presidential aspirations
in 1928 made small difference in the
Hoover routine and the campaign
organization work was taken in the
stride developed BY years OF plotting
great human groups. One sign Of the
attention he was giving the subject
however. was a new restraint upon
all his public expressions.
The assurance that Hoover Is no
Politician" so frequently voiced in
the camps of his enemies has now
been tested by the roll call OF a re-
publican national convention but
neither opponent nor friend will deny
that the campaign disclosed a man
with a deep-laid. sagacious and wide
flung plan, supported by a legion OF
competent helpers, graphing with
fully comprehended and treated OBJ
~stacles, for accomplishment on a
great scale. He can advertise and
organize.

Herbert Hoover. republican nom
inee for the presidency, is one Of
the few great world war figures for
whom peace has meant expansion Of
power and prestige rather than
eclipse.
Whatever fortune may come to him
in November, heretofore the feet Of
a boy orphaned a half century ago
in an Iowa hamlet have held con-
~sistently to a pathway trending ever
more spectacularly upward
IL Is not only America that has
known Hoover but Burma and Aus
tralia and the forest slopes Of the
Urals in Russia and the hungered
hordes Of the European world for
whom he meant food and shelter.

A Hoover asset is the fact that
practically always working himself
he meets other people In connection
with the job and he deals undeniably
well with the problem in hand, most
always g%rasping others point OF
view in advance.
Hard Worker
Hoover works harder than most
people, reads late into the night, and
takes his writing most seriously
sometimes bringing out delightful
humor. For fun, he fishes and is
displaying technique in the art. His
family life, he has a wife and two
sons, has been more successfully
yelled than that Of most political
celebrities, though the publicity in
connection with his presidential as
pirations has pushed ii in here OF
