SALT LAKE CITY, Utah. April %
Senator Reed Smoot and Representa-
tives Cotton and Leatherwood favor
Herbert Hoover as the Republican NOM
inee for President. This announcement
was made Thursday by j. C. Dick, Sec
retary of the Hoover for President Club.
on receipt of message from Louis S.
Gates. president of the club, who was
in Washington.
This dispatch aroused interest in DO
litical circles here. as definite state
menLS regarding the attitude of the
Utah delegation had been lacking and
ii had been rumored that Smoot was
not for Hoover.
Mr.. Gates. incidentally, is a wealthy
mining man Of Utah. who has bean
talked of as the Republican nominee for
the United States Senate. Mr.. Dick
also is mining man.
Republicans will hold their State con-
vention next Friday for the selection
OF delegates to the national convention
at Kansas City.
While very few of the delegates TO
the State convention are instructed
the stand taken by Smoot. Cotton and
Leatherwood may lead to instructions
at the State convention.
1t is freely predicted. however, that
Hoover will not run well In Utah on
account Of his attitude toward the
Boulder Dam legislation and that there
will be enough opposition TO him to
prevent an instructed delegation.
