Price Says Hoouer Letter Is Causing More Confusion
 of Issues and Leadership
By BYRON PRICE tChief of Bureau, The Associated Press. Washington

The extreme difficulty of dis tinguishing between men and is- sues is illustrated with emphasis by the present situation in the re- publican party.
 Theoretically, a party should be able to determine through frank conference the principles it de- sires to adopt, and then decide, as an entirely separate matter, who should lead the effort to carry those principles into effect.
 Actually, the question of leaders and the question of issues usually become badly scrambled They are badly scrambled in the Republican party.
 No sooner does MT. Hoover pre- sent set of principles than a sensation runs through the ranks: Anal He is getting ready to run again in 1867"
 Maybe he is, and maybe he isn't. Ordinary logic would seem to indi- cate that he does not yet know whether he will run. But regard less of the true situation, all his comings and goings henceforth will be viewed by millions as calculated to advance his personal fortunes. He will be cheered by his friends and suspected by his enemies, quite regardless of the merits of what he says or does.
 Suspicious Aroused
 The mere suspicion that he is planning to return to active party leadership will arouse and stimu- late every one else who covetS that leadership. And these, in turn, will look with new suspicion on one another.
 When one of them proposes a party platform the question most likely to be discussed in the pri- vate confabs of the insiders is not, Could we win with such a plat form!" It is, Should we let this fellow get away with this?"
 That seems to have been illus trated to a degree already in the case of MT. Hoover. On the day his letter to the California young Republicans" was published, two things happened
 One was that it was suggested far and wide that MT. Hoover was scheming come back, and seeking to line up California Republicans as a starter. The other was that
