Hoover Strategy

Under these circumstances
Mr.. Hoover, who converted
the White House into grand
headquarters for the conven-
ton, let's it be known that he
will be inactive in the cam
paign. He will be too busy
with his official duties. No
one believes anything of the
sort. Never has the White
House known more politics
than it will know this sum-
mer and autumn. Never has
a President played politics,
or personal politics, more
persistently than Mr.. Hoover.
Because of the highly con-
troversial nature of numer-
GUS political questions, the
Presidency is to be used as a
screen behind which to hide.
That is the strategy-but
it will not work.
Not only his record, but
his part in the determina-
tion of the policies of the
convention have made his
position perfectly clear on
all these matters.

sophistries Will
Not Appease Hungry

You cannot satisfy an
empty stomach with sophis-
tries and tricks of phras-
ing; nor satisfy a business
man, whose trade is waning
to the point of ruin, with a
campaign slogan. AS never
before in our history the
masses of the people this
year will vote for what they
conceive to be their in
tereSt.
Last week, talking with
scores of Republicans from
every section, I found that
scarcely any feel the slight
est confidence in the possi-
bility Of Mr.. Hoover's re-
election. These views were
expressed in private conver-
sation and cannot he
ascribed publicly to the
speakers. The one and only
hope these men expressed
was that the Democrats may
create a bitter feud next
week that NAV be carried
into the campaign.
But a feud among politi
clans over power will not
much interest the thirty
million bankrupt people of
the farms, the ten million
jobless men, and the thirty
million more Indirectly
crushed by unemployment.
For years the groundings
were impressed by the insist
ence of Republicans that
they had "the only party
fit to govern. Mr.. Smell,
in his speech in the conven-
tion, played upon that long
since discredited phrase. But
DR.. Butler, probably the in
tellectual leader of the Re-
publicans, has just said:
1.-THE Democrats have a
virtual monopoly on presi-
Dental timber. -
And Elihu Root, for years
the intellectual leader of the
Republicans, has been
quoted:
what has happened to
our party? Twenty-Five
years ago we had all the
talent. Now the Democrats
have it all"
These are precious admis-
sions coming from the two
men who, in sheer intellect,
tower mountain high above
all the other leaders of their
party.
In Republican business
circles, too, and from the
greater portion of the indr
pendent press, comes the oh
servation that the nomina-
tion of any one of four
Democratic aspirants for the
presidency would meet the
intellectual requirements Of
the high office.

Il after battle, even on
issues of vital import, for
Republicans to swallow their
individual convictions and
enthusiastically to fall in
line for whatever nominee or
platform comes from the
convention. This year marks
notable departure. The
interview of Nicholas Muir
ray Butler, the observations
of Senator Wadsworth, the
comments of individual dele
gates of no special imp0r-
tance, imply an insurgency
that may not down. Had the
battle last week been left to
the party without interfer-
ence from Mr.. Hoover, it
would have been different.
But the convention literally
was manhandled by Federal
office holders. The Cabinet
was there in force. Post
masters galore, revenue Off
cials in number, were mar
shalled as never before in a
national conclave.
These, disciplined, subser-
Went, responded with alac-
rity to the lash Of Ogden
Mills, the D'Artagnan of the
drys.
The President himself di-
rected the fight from the
White House over the tele-
phone. This was not so un-
usual as the packing of the
convention with the official
retainers of Mr.. Hoover.
Theodore Roosevelt de-
nounced this sort of thing,
and when himself in office
and seeking denomination,
geously declared
against Federal office-holders
going to the convention. Cal
vim Coolidge expressed his
opposition to this sort of
thing. Mr.. Hoover is diff
ferent. He always has been.
Hoover Position
Is Not In Doubt
The nature of the fight
which, contrary to Repub-
llcan custom, was waged in
the open, cOurageously, has
had one effect-it has left
no doubt as to the position
OF Mr.. Hoover. The phrasing
of the plank on prohibition
to permit of a wet interpre-
tation in New York and
dry Interpretation in dry ter
ritory fails of it's purpose
because the forces that were
with difficulty overwhelmed
by the massed attack of the
Federal job holders under
Mr.. Mills leadership, re-
spending to orders from Mr..
Hoover, are now articulate.
The Administration has in
sisted on putting the party
on record as favOring Fed
eral prohibition and Federal
domination; and every one
knows it.

BOTH SENTIMENTAL AND
SELFISH

Most of the arguments concern
ing trading at home have been
worn out with constant repetition.
Yet the subject is still vital and
important one.
During the past few years there
hive been important changes in
merchandising. The argument by
most local merchants is not so
much to trade at home as to trade
with the particular type of store
that they represent. Mail order
business has declined and most OF
the mail ordeG houses have estab-
lished their retail outlets.
The method of distributing mer-
chandise over the counter, per-
sonal transaction between buyer
and seller, was never more firmly
established than today. That is a
favorable fact for local merchants.
The local merchant still has
his competition. 1t is usually in the
next town or the nearby city.
The appeal to people to buy at
home must be put upon more than
The Wrangell sentinel., 1932-03-11

mere sentimental grounds, al
though there is more force to the
argument of loyalty to friends,
neighbors and customers.
Many people in small commun-
titles state that they cannot buy
as cheaply at home as in some
distant point. Sometimes facts bear
out this argument. But when
people live in a small community
they must expect to do business
on the basis that is essential to
success of business in a smaller
town. 1t is selfish to expect your
customers to pay the prices that
you ask and yet not be willing to
pay fair prices for what you buy
of them. Business must be done
at a profit. If you get a profit
yourself you must expect to pay
one to the other fellow.
We are not discouraged about
folks say that the decline of the
smaller centers is inevitable. There
Is little to prove it. Population is
not growing as rapidly in smaller
communities as in the cities. But
the cities have grown too rapidly
too many of their people have no
work. Population is no asset unless
that population is well employed.
On every hand there is evidence
of improvement in small commun-
tiles. That improvement consists of
better streets, schools, highways
homes, and stores. And with all
of these things there is a most
reassuring evidence OF community
'loyalty-a spirit which makes
for sound development and for
general good will.
When you trade at home you
help other people to trade with
you. These are both sentimental
and selfish reasons for trading
with your neigbors.-Grand Rapids
