Presidential Election Dope-1932

WASHINGTON, May 5, P)- Presidential Politics for 1892 are again on the upgrade. Already parties have been experimenting as to public sentiment.
 Republican independents may op pose Hoover in the party primar- ies next spring. and those that are now mentioned for possible can didates by this insurgent party are 6crah, Norris, LaFollette. Pinchot, and Johnson. California leaders for Hoover in 1928 may be his opponents in 1892. The old guard allies who fought him hard in 1928 may be Hoover's main sup port next year.
 The stand-patters feel that the reelection of Hoover is impossible and that it would strengthen the party immensely to have new candidate If the progressives carry the principal states then it will be evident 10 everybody that q new candidate should be nominated.
 Senator Brookhart is of this opinion and believes that progress siye sentiment ought to be tested.
