The boys in the ranks rushed
in or telephoned to find out If the noted

to be party policy. What scared them
most was the fact Mr.. Hoover came out

Believe Hoover Is Through.

The Republican politicians from far
and near all agree privately now that
Mr.. Hoover is through. Some talked
with him at Palo Alto.
Their view could be summarized as
follows:
Mr.. Hoover realizes the country has
gone on to new ideas, new ways Of ma
tional thought. He agrees it probably
will not get back 10 his ideals in his
lifetime. He is not ready to compro-
mise with his principles. He still be-
lieves they are best. Therefore. he
considers the thing for him to do is to
keep silent.
That is the most authentic possible
report on that subject and it undoubt-
edly is correct.
For these reasons and others the poll
ticians believe Mr.. Hoover will not be
influential in the reorganization Of the
party, either in a financial way or
otherwise
They are sure his Chicago trip was
nothing more than a pleasant outing OF
an elder statesman.
