whisper campaign regarding Her
bert IIoovcr's health has been re-
ported to Republican presidential
campaign headquarters and has
been promptly spiked.
Hoover is not in the best physical
condition Of his career but he is in
good health and is following the
advice given him by every one to
watch his eating and his exercise
carefully. He feels much better
than when he left Washington nine
days ago, and having spent two
days in his campus mansion, he
looks fit.
Stories have been brought to
headquarters of whispers around
that the candidate could not expect
to get through the terrific strain of
2 presidential campaign without a
breakdown.
Even if elected. the tremendous
duties Of the White House which
have been ascribed as cause for the
deaths Of many presidents, might
leave their mark on him, these un-
justified stories relate.
They are silly but they have been
circulated TO such an extent that
they are heard daily on tie streets
of San Francisco and one New York
newspaper wired its correspondent
hero to watch the candidate 5 h"alSh
carefully.
Family Not Worried
George Akcrson, secretary of thc
nominee. told the United Press that
Hoover and all members of his fam
lily and personal encourage were not
worried the slightest ly his health.
The stories are believed by Hoov-
or headquarters to have arisen from
suggestions given Hoover by Presi-
dent Coolidge that he had better
take care Of himself. They are said
to have been taken by his political
opponents who gave them such wide
circulation.
As witness to his condition, the
candidate has a ranged a busy week
of political conferences starting to-
day. Senator Hiram Johnson of
California, who is swinging his fac
tion in the state with Hoover was
the visitor of the day.
Tomorrow will come Mayor Rolph
Of san Francisco to arrange for the
Welcoming ceremony there, probably
