Mr.. HOOver's Speech


lessons he did workmanlike job in his address in Bos
ton last night. His enunciation clear his speech
was packed with punch nes and his denunciation of
''creeping colectivsm and other New Dealzzards
lust what his Republican audience wanted to hear.
Furthermore there was a lot in Mr.. Hoover's speech
with which the average citizen would emphaticaly
agree.
MrHoover hi the ball on the when he said that
the Republican party out of office, is national
necessity" and that this 'party must have new faces
and new blood "a fighting cause "a forward purpose"
He also rang the gong when he struck at the flood of
paid propaganda which has flowed from the New DEAL
the Farley spos SYSTEM the neat little plan Of avoid
.,,.,- o., ing the Corrupt Practices Act
by selling campaign books to
Book Sale Scheme biz corporations, and the none
too subtle strategy of influencing Congressional votes
through WPA projects.
But beyond this and similar though less pointed in
vective Mr. Hoover fell flat.
He called for fighting issues but raised He
demanded new blood then proceeded himself to be the
rallying leader He spoke of preserving "the great
middle Glass; when it was all too obvious he meant
the small upper class
All the.~ perhaps could be forgiven oratorical
license But unforgvable was his scoldng of the New
Deal for supplying Americans with only minimum
of food and clothing" Mans memory is short, and
apparently Mr. Hoover had completely forgotten the
fact that his own 1928 campaign promise of two cars
in every garage and chicken in every pot' fol-
lowed by the worst depression in recent history.
Mr. Hoover of course did not himself create the de-
presson But, Coolidge's Secretary of Commerce,
he stood on the sdeines silent while stocks zoomed
to fabulous values-values high that disastrous
drop was inevitable. Mr.. Hoover watched and said
nothing
Later President of the United States, he sat in the
White House and listened to the plea of Co.. Arthur
Woods, chairman of his own Unemployment Committee,
for good roads program and other modest public
E:1y l. 1yJ D1 works in order to alleviate
unemployment. Again Mr..
Of His O1On Aides Hoover did nothing
Also he listened to the urging of Dwight Morrow,
Julius Barnes and other advisers that he sign the Wag-
bill creating Government employment bureau.
Instead he vetoed it.
Again, when 10000 veterans to Washington
misguided but preserving law and order-Hoover called
out the Army, bayonets fixed and drove them from
the Capital
Looking back on Mr.. Hoover's administration it is
difficult to put finger on any constructive and i'm
portan he made to alleviate the suffering of the
depression
The Roosevelt administration, which followed, has
made mistakes-plenty of them They should be recti
fled, and strong Republican opposition may prove
healthy rectfer. But Mr.. Hoover is not the man to
point out those mistakes nor to lead the Republican
party out of the wilderness.
AS he himself so aptly said:
"The party must have new faces and new blood a
fighting "a forward purpose"
it harps only the mistakes of the past it will
get nowhere.

The five horsemen claim that
they have jackass among their
midst and they amt sure which
one it is but certain friend of
theirs claims they all are so what
difference does it make? How
ever. as usual. Doc Willie Kemp
had Johnny KirschenbaHm for d
partner while Hurricane Eddie
had Melvin Russell with Charlie
Salas sandwiched between Eddie
ran away with the first-round but
was 4th on the list on the last
nine. 1t seems that Doc and the
ex-summerlpro forgot they were
partners and both had the same
score, 43-44, and each had one
skin made with a par 5 on the
same number five hole. In fact.
they tied each other on IL holes
and that is why Eddie and Melvin
always win because Doc and
Kirsch are opponents from way
back when Kirsch got brides and
eagles with ease. but unfortun-
ately he was always playing alone.
