-Can Beat Smith"
Mr.. Coolidge is a genuine repub-
liran and is essentially an organiza-
ton man. He has been that all his
life. He appreciates the need OF po-
litiral organizations and only asks
that they have a worthy program
n be clean and patriotic. We
agree with him in that.
Mr.. Hoover has been an avowed
republican all his life. He has been
for many years a member Of the
republican club of San Francisco.
declined the almost certain nomina-
ton of the democrats in 1920 and
declared himslef a republican. He
ma been the trusted co-worker OF
hwo republican presidents who have
been known, in the best sense Of
the word, as party men. His sup
port of the Wilson administration
in l9kI and 1915 was the honorable
support given by millions of sol
diers and others engaged in the
prosecution of the war, irrespective
of their party affiliations.
Mr.. Hover can and will be nom
mated. He is one OF the few men
who can and will be elected in a
campaign which is sure to be one of
the hardest Se have ever entered.
The democrats are almost certain to
name Al Smith. Hoover will beat
Smith and will carry on the program
of progress and prosperity that has
distinguished the Coolidge admins
tration.
Mr. Hoover is a Westerner, born
in Iowa, q resident of California. At
the time the West is crying for a
candidate. Mr.. Hoover has the cor
fidence of both the West and East,
North and South.

limit OF our ability, we will have
our first chance to carry the cleo
torial vote of the state.
Il am deeply sorry that Presi-
dent Coolidge feels that he must
Law down the burden Of the presi-
dency. He knows that Texas repub-
licans are for him and ne has ex-
pressed his appreciation. But | am
