HOOVER Still HAS
BAD LUCK FISHING
Nominee Fails to Snare Northern
California Trout

Aboard Hoover Train, En- Route
and better trout and less time be
tween bites are regarded by Herbert
Hoover. republican presidential
nominee. as the burning issues in
northern California. where he spent
the past three days fishing.
The nominee so expressed himself
last night before boarding his train
for San Francisco, where he was
due this morning and after he had
spent rather Improbable day cast
ing for mountain trout in Medicine
lake, ~ miles east of Shasta Springs
where his party awaited him.
Hoover. his son Allan, his secre-
tary, George Akerson, and his friend
Thomas 7. c. Gregory of San Fran
cisco were so late in getting back
to the Shasta Springs hotel last
night that those awaiting him there
telephoning about the country to
locate the nominee. While the tele-
phone operators We're being kept
busy the Hoover party drove up.
Face Red
Hoover, his face red from contact
with the sun, was the first to leave
the car. but he was surrounded be-
fore he could get into the door of
his cottage.
''Nr. Secretary, We We're all be-
ginning to worry about you,' he was
told.
Hoover smiled and said there was
% need for worry; that the party
had stopped at McCloud for dinner
and then had motored around the
base of Mount Shasta for time.
How many fish did you catch?"
was the next question shot at the
candidate"
well We didn't have much luck, "
Hoover replied with smile.
I'VE held a conference and de-
cided that more and better trout
and less time between the bites is
the burning issue in these counties
of northern California"
Other members OF the party dis
closed that single fish was caught
during the day and that was hooked
by Allan Hoover. The secretary
himself had a fish on his line but
he dropped it to haul in a two
pound trout his q year old son had
hooked.
After working back and forth. the
fishermen returned To tha shore for
lunch and rest under the shade
