since the depression began. He has
not hesitated to acknowledge the
mistakes his industry made. He has
never so much as intimated, so far as
this writer knows, that he would per-
init his name to be considered in
political combat. But his name is
one that fits the demand the Re-
publicans are making for con-
f1dence" and fair dealing in the Gov
ernments relations with business.
And If he will not consent to becom-
ing candidate, there are other
business men, perhaps. who have had
somewhat similar background. Must
the Republicans consider only poll
ticians? The Democrats do not hesi-
tate to break precedents and there
is no sound reason why the Repub-
licans should not frankly and hon.
estly name the man who, in their
opinion, can pull the country out
of its economic plight of huge debt,
vast unemployment and stagnant
business.
