TO DRAFT HOOVER
Urged by Hyde, Not as Can.

Party.
BY the Associated Press.

.
SPRINGFIELD. Mo, June 2e.-Ar.
thur M. Hyde, former Secretary Of
Agriculture, said in an interview to-
day the hope OF the Republican partv
lies in drafting Herbert Hoover for
the special task OF revitalizine and
strengthening it for 1910.
Hyde told the Leader and Press that
he is not proposing Hoover as a pres
1dential candidate again nor even
thinking OF such thing.
Hoover's job, Hyde said, would be
10 make the party more militant now
to build it up for 1910, probably for
some other man. 1t would be a purely
patriotic public service, such As few
men would be capable OF, he said.
Likely to Get Spears"
He would go in knowing that very
likely he would be the Uriah to some
body else's David--he would get the
spears and somebody else would get
the reward"
Inc former secretary said he talked
with Hoover in Chicago a month ago
and found him deeply alarmed" over
the state OF the Nation, feeling that
the Republican party should be taking
more aggressive part in national af-
fairs.
Hoover suggested then, Hyde said.
national meeting to promulgate
fundamental Republican creed"
Hyde set forth that such a meeting
might provide an opportunity to
draft" the former President.
Hamilton Praised.
On the mechanical side" he ex-
planned, the party does have leader
ship-and very able leadership, too
in John Hamilton.
But on the intellectual and spjr.
ltual side it is sterile-it has no lead
ership.
Our congressional representation
mas ADOPTED a shush-shuh policy.
There is no hope OF leadership there"

Senatorial Rage
Aroused By House
Practice on Bills

It's dsnder up, the august Sen
ate yesterday administered a
verbal spanking to its little brother
the House-for its attempt to
poach on q parliamentary custom
held dear to the members of the
upper branch" of Congress.
The spanking was given by the
veteran Senator George Norris of
Nebraska, one Of the fathers of
the Senate.
He was quite concerned over the
nefarious practice Of the House
taking Senate-approved bills, sub.
stituting their own identical
measures" and then sending them
back to the dignified Senate for
consideration. y
Norris was brought to his feet
In obvious anger when the House
today sent over their own reforeS-
tration bill, IAN identical substi-
tute Of the one I sponsored and
we passed several weeks ago."
Norris shouted: --.&
"If this Senate is going to
maintain its right as a parlia-
mentary body, we must protest
against such treatment by the
House. ), ,.. s ..
"And II we continue to legis-
late this way we will never be
able to pass a bill and send it
to the President"
Then, at the request of Norris,
the Senate finally passed the
House bill and sent it to the White
House, junking its own bill.
