This group in the senate from the
northwest agricultural states has dis
agreed with Hoover policies through
out his administration.
Senators Borah of Idaho. Norris OF

sin, Independents, are mentioned IN
political discussions here as possible
candidates, together with Governor
Pinchot of Pennsylvania.

candidates. 49,

went into the field against HerDert
Hoover in the preconvention cam
oaigns are watching ~interestedly OF
preparing to go actively to the fore

It is a paradoxical situation. Lead
ers in the fight for Hoover in 1925
may be his opponents In 1882. The
old guard allies who fought him SC
hard in 1928 may be his main sup
port next year.
Senator Brookhart, Republican
Iowa, a member of the Independent
group, opened the discussion Satur.
day Of a progressive battle.
progressive. sentiment ought to b
tested out" he said, '"by such leaders
as Senators johnson, Borah, Norris
and La Toilette and by Governor
Pinchot. There is no doubt In my
mind of their popularity In many
states.
1.-THE standpatters feel that the re.
election OF Herbert Hoover Is impossi-
BILE and that 1t would strengthen the
party immensely to have a new can
didate. If the progressives could
carry most of the principal states II
then would be evident to everybody
that a new candidate should be re-
nominated"
However,. the prospective candi-
dates put forward by Senator Brook
hart decline to concede the likel1'
hood of their becoming candidates
at lease at this time-and the whole
proposition still is in the speculation
stage.
In 1928 the old guard "allies" took
away several important states from
Hoover in the preconvention cam
paign, some in direct contests, but
they failed to muster enough strength
and foundered when the powerful
Pennsylvania delegation went to his
support.
