upon the republican nomination OF

especially enthusiastic in the morning
papers Of today. The lack Of enthus-
iasm. however. was due more to the
platform upon which rhe republicans
have placed Hoover than 10 the man
himself.
Hoover's technical abilities, his
genius for organization, his energy.
his competence in financial and eco-
nomic affairs and his acquaintance
with foreign countries Of the world

In regard to the platform, IL was
noted that opposition to the cancel
lation of war debts continued, arma-
ments were to remain the same.
America was still destined to stay
out Of the League of Nations. and
the high tariff and prohibition would
continue under Hoover as they exist
