Secretary Hoover was at that time
member of the foreign debt funding
commission. which had Just been
erected His speech at Toledo dealt
largely with this issue and he took
the advanced and positive position
against any cancellation of foreign
debts. for the reason, among others,
that il would be most unfair to the
American taxpayers inasmueh as such
cancellation would be equivalent To a
shifting of the foreign debts from
the shoulders of foreign taxpayers
to the shoulders of American taxpay-
ers. Secretary Hoover in that cam
paign spoke in behalf of the election
of Senator Frelinghuysen, of New
Jersey. In that speech ne e ended
the enactment of the Fordnag-Me-
Cumber act which was then les than
two months old. He made addresses
elsewhere in the campaign and wrote
everal letters for use in support of
the republican party and republican,
candidates.
Needless to say, Secretary Hoover
was active in the campaign of 1924
in behalf of the election of the Cool
idge-Dawes ticket. He began his
speaking campaign Sept. 20, 1924,
with a radio talk at Washington, D..
c.. and campaigned actively from that
time until the night of Oct. 81, when
he closed the campaign in California
with a speech at San Francisco.
No man il the republican party,
either in official life or outside off
cial life, was in such demand in the
congressional campaign of 1926 as
Secretary Hoover, and no man gave
more of his time, or spoke in more
states in behalf of republican candi
dates than did Secretary Hoover.
He opened his speaking campaign
in New York City, Oct. 16, 1926, with
an address before the National Re-
publican club, in defense of the pol
icies of the republican administration,
and closed the address with an espe-
cial appeal for the election of Senator
Wadsworth, all republican candidates
for congress, and the election of Og-
len Mills, who was candidate for
governor in the state of New York.
On Oct. 10 he made public letter
to Honorable Francis Prescott, chair
man of the republican state commit
tee of Massachusetts, in which he
urged upon the people of Massachu-
setts the election of Senator William
VI. Butler, also chairman of the re-
publican national committee. That
etter was as follows
1T is a source of keen regret to me
hat speaking engagements IN the
middle west and far west prevent my
going to Massachusetts at this time
to urge support to Senator William
NJ. Butler and the republican nominees
for the house of representatives.
These speaking engagements were
made some time ago by the managing
committees and they are unable to
.hange their arrangements.
"In an address | recently made in
New York | had the opportunity of
talking over the radio to a large New
England audience. At that time |
the fact that | feel deeply
that the republican control of the leg
islative branch of the government is
in order that the policies of
President Coolidge may be continued
and the great problems of reconstruc-
ton of our economic life from the
disloeation of the war may be com
pleted.
Senator Butler has assumed COM
position in the United States
senate. He is one of the leaders in
the creation and maintenance of those
policies which have made the United
States unique in its recuperation.
There is still much to be accomplished
and many of our problems center in
the New England states. These things
cannot be accomplished in a divided
house. The people of Massachusetts,
if they desire to sustain President
Coolidge and his great work for the
country, should return Senator Butler
10 the position he now holds and
should assist with a republican con-
gress,'
Mr. Hoover then started across the
continent, He addressed big repub-
lean rally at Louisville, Kentucky,
Oct. 20, and made an especial appeal
or the election of Senator Richard D. !
Ernst, and the republican candidates
IN the ticket with him. The next |
lay he gave out an interview in Gin
urging the election of Senator
Willis and the republican candidates
or congress in that state. That night,
Jet q, he addressed a meeting at
Springfield, Ohio, to which he had
,een assigned at the especial request
# Senator Willis who was candidate
or election. In his address Secretary
1oover made strong appeal to the
epublicans and business men in Ohio
o support Senator Willis and the re-
publican ticket. His next speech was
t Duluth, Mimi, Oct. 49,
