POLITICAL EVENTS
OF THE PAST WEEK
Highlights of Political Activity of
Both Major Parties summarized
From Recent News Dispatches
From Over the Country

Washington, Feb. 12.-Secretary
Hoover today became an avowed
candidate for the Republican presi-
Dental nomination and gave formal
permission for his Ohio supporters
to enter his name in the Ohio pri-
mary contest.
In his first campaign statement,
which took the form of a letter to
Thad H. Brown, chairman of the
Ohio Hoover for president commit
tee, the secretary declared himself
bound to ''carry forward principles
of the Republican party and the
great objectives of President Cool
idge's policies
He indicated his intention to re-
frain from personal campaigning in
the pre-convention primaries, and to
retain his official post at the head
of the commercial department.
81 have received, through you
and others, requests from very
many Republicans of Chic that l per-
nit my name to be entered in the
presidential primaries of that state,"
the letter to Colonel Brown said.
81 do so," he added, laconically. 81
shall be deeply honored by whatever
support the people of Ohio may de-
eide to give me at the Republican
national convention. I shall be glad
to serve the American people
through the Republican party in any
way that l can in finding construct
i've solution to the many problems
which confront our country.
my conviction that | should not
strive for the nomination, and my
obligations as secretary of commerce
precludes me from making any per-
sonal campaign. l must rely wholly
upon my friends in Ohio to conduct
it and to conduct it in a fair man
ner and with steadfast regard for
Republican success in the state and
nation. 1t is my desire that expen-
diture of money shall be strictly lin-
tied and rigidly accounted for.
"If the greatest trust that can be
given by our people should come to
me, should consider it my duty to
carry forward the principles of the
Republican party and the great OBJ
jectives of President Coolidge's poll
cies-all of which have brought to
our country such a high degree of
happiness, progress and security"

Republicans to Meet at Raleigh

The Republican state executive
meeting in session in Greensboro last
Wednesday selected Raleigh as the
meeting place for their convention
and set April 18th as the date of
the meeting. Raleigh won over
Greensboro by vote of 81 to 16.
The choice of the convention city
was only one of number of events
of the committee session, possibly
the most stirring being the brisk
spanking administered by Charles A.
Jonas, of Lincolnton to the commit
tee members who had come to the
meeting purely to talk presidential
politics, national convention dele
gates and jobs. Mr.. Jonas delivered
ringing appeal for some construct
i've work designed to make the party
a servant of North Carolina and an
agency for the good of the state.
Chairman Rrownlow Jackson and
Mr.. Jonas introduced an organiza-
ton plan for three new committees,
one on finance, one on publicity and
one on organization of Republican
clubs. Mrs. w. E. Kinnon of
Mocksville, introduced two resolui
tions calling for state committee
of 80 members with an equal repre-
sentation of women on basis of full
equality in voting and a resolution
asking that the chairman of the
women's section of the committee be
named one of the four delegates at
