stated. The more see of this cam
paign, the more strongly I feel that
your election is of supreme Importance
to the country.
Your qualities as man and what
you stand for, regardless of party, make
me feel that the problems which will
come before our country during the
next four years will be best solved
under your leadership"
The telegram was addressed to Hon.
Herbert Hoover, 2315 Massachusetts,
avenue" and was signed, Charles A.
Lindbergh."
Lindbergh's Endorsement was received
with enthusiasm in the Hoover camp
for it is felt the announcement will
have a widespread psychological effect
of great moment to the Republican
cause.
Until today the flyer had maintained
complete silence on politics and his
voluntary decision to come out for
Hoover caused much surprise.
Lindbergh's father, the late Charles
A. Lindbergh, served five terms in the
House as a Representative from Min
nesota. He was regarded as a Pro-
gressive Republican. His sons party
preferences had been a matter of spec
ulation until today
The name Of Lindbergh now joins
those of such men as Thomas Edison
and Henry Ford in the roster of
notahles who have announced their
support of Hoover.
Addresses Young Republicans.
Speaking to delegation of young Re-
puolicans from New York, who came
here by airplane and train to pledge
him their support, Hoover this afternoon
declared that it is heavy response
bility to head a great party in such
battle" as is now being waged, and he
feels "the need of all the help that you
so generously Offer
The delegation was composed of men,
bers of the Young Republican Club of
New York which Hoover's son, Allan
joined DAY or so ago.
1T is most heartening to have busy
men and women like yourselves travel
so long distance to tell me that you
are with me In this campaign" Hoover
told the group gathered in the second
floor reception hall "You speak of
the way in which the airplane has facil-
itated your coming here. It marks an
other advance in invention which will
have a profound effect on your nation
al life. 1t brings out the courage of
men, stimulates the spirit of adventure
and 1t annihilates time and distance
and brings our people closer together.
1T brings lot of new problems in
government, and the necessity for assis-
tance from the government that 1t may
be developed and promoted to its real
great use, and that great use is not
so much in war as 1t is in peace. BY
the building up of our commercial SER
vice we are contributing to the defense
of our country because we provide a
great manufacturing capacity, a great
reserve of trained men, which adds to
the assurance of complete independence
of our nation for all times
Now it Is especially gratifying to
me that our party is making such an
appeal to the young men and young
women of the country. This is evi-
denced by your coming here and by
what you tell me Of the very practical
work you are doing in New York City.
