THE HAMILTON SALES CO., Columbia, S. C. 1-29-lf HOOVER FOR PRESIDENT On January 21st. the New Yoik World, one ol the leading democratic newspapers in this country, and a staunch supporter of Woodrow Wilson came out editorially for Herbert (\ Hoover for the presidency. The editorial in part says: "We should be glad to support Mr. Hoover as the Democratic candidate for president on a platform that represented the historical principles of 1>? PflvTV Wp SllOllld Ho glad to support him as an independ- i out candidate on a platform of progressive liberalism. We should not hesitate to support him as the republican candidate on a platform representing the kind of government which Mr. Hoover has exemplified in his public career. "Among the Democratic politicians the chief objection to Mr. Hoover is that he has been successively a Republican and a Progressive, but has never affiliated with the Democratic organization, although he was appointed to office by President Wilson and was most distinguished of all the President's lieutenants during the war. "Among Republican politicians the | chief objection to Mr. Hoover is that | he never was an organization Republican and that in the fall of 1918 he hail the independence and courage to urge the election of a Congress that I would work harmoniously with President Wilson. If the country had followed Mr. Hoover's wise and practical advice it would not tpday be the victim of a deadlocked Government which is virtually unable to function. "The partisan objections to Mr. Hoover are arguments in his favor. The American people are tired of professional politicians and disgusted with party politics. The old party lines have broken down so far as the rank and file of voters are concerned, and in respect to principles both parties are bankrupt. Although the spirit of partisanship has rarely been more bitter or more brutal, and never since Secession has it been more inimical to the welfare of the country, the battle of these warring politicians is a fictitious conflict. "Mr. Taft was Mr. Wilson's opponent for the Presidency in 1912; yet | in so far as fundamental questions of government are concerned it would be difficult to detect any important differences between Mr. Taft and Mr. Wilson. Mr. Hughes was Mr. Wilson's opponent irr 1916, and it would be equally difficult to detect any important differences between Mr. Hughes and Mr. Wilson. They might disagree about this policy or that policy; but in so far as their public utterances of the last three years are an index to their political principles, these differences would be personal rather than partisan in any true sense. "And if one wished to carry the parrallel further he might well ask what there is to distinguish a Democrat like Attorney General Palmer from a Republican like Speaker Sweet I of the New York Assembly. Both of them have set forth to establish a new doctrine of Prussianism which is a veritable crucifixion of the spirit of American institutions. "Abraham Lincoln declared in his First Inaugural that? "This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. "The r aimers and the Sweets are seeking to set up a wholly opposite theory, which is that the Government no longer belongs to the people, but that the people belong to the Government, and have acquired a subject status under which their most elementary rights and liberties can be denied whenever the Govevmment itself undertakes to regard those rights and liberties as seditious or inimical. "It is needless to say that when Democrats and Republicans can unite in the advocacy of such a construction of the powers of government under free institutions and when Democrats and Republicans can unite in resisting such an invasion of American traditions, party lines have become artificial and party adherence has degenerated into a mere matter of predudice, habit, self-interest and synicism. "This is not a year for partisan candidates, in any sense in which that term has previously been employed in politics. Party labels there must be, because the party label has been established by law; but when the Republican National Committee is forced to offer a pri-e for a platform, it is ridiculous to pretend that there is anything which resembles a genuine cleavage of public opinion along party lines on he questions that confront the country. What is going on I i - -f 1 is merely me maneuvering 01 amoitious politicians who are waiting to see which issues are expedient and which are not. "Although the two parties are destitute of principle, they still retain some of their former characteristics, and Mr. Hoover combines the best of these characteristics in both parties. The Republicans boast, and not without reason (if the record of the i Sixty-sixth Congress can be ignored for the time being), that they reprc- ! sent efficiency in the administration! of government. Mr. Hoover has proved himself one of the greatest administrators of all time. His achieve- j ment> are among the miracles of the war, and when Europe speaks of ef-1 ficiency it no longer speaks of it in terms of Germany but in terms of Hoover. i "If the Democrats cannot successfully challenge the Republican claim 1 to superior administrative ability j they can honestly claim that except j for the brief period when the party ^ organization had become a chattel .of the slave-holding oligarchy the Dem- j oeratic party has been the great , champion of individual rights and of, the liberties of the people. It is essentially the party of the Bill of I Rights and of the constitutional guar- j fvr.rwlnnv the uneomDromis- ! I ing assertion of which was never j I more needed than it is today. "In spite of the Southern I'rohibi- j tionists and the reactionary practices | of Attorney General Palmer and: Postmaster General Burleson, the in-1 dividual Democrat on principle, has1 not lost ihese characteristics. The j instincts of the great mass of Dem-' ocracv still tend to keep it a party of' the common people, not in the sense ' of the demagogue hut in the sense of' Thomas Jefferson. They are still I struggling whenever the opportunity j I offers and a free play of Democratic! sentiment is permitted by party organization. against those centralizing tendencies that are turning the Government of the United States into an autocracy of bureaucrats. "If Mr. Hoover is a Republican in 1 respect to administrative capacity, he j in i-ocnpct to decen- ! | IS a ucuiwiav in * ? tralization and human rights. I "The argument for his nomination i does not stop there. One of the great organs of British Liberalism, the j London Nation, recently declared that! Mr. Hoover was the ablest man that I the war had produced.

Main S who were without high reputation when the conflict began, there can be no question that he is the most commanding figure that emerged out of this welter of the nations. Such ability is not to be held lightly at a time like this. The American people are going to need it, and need it badly. "Most of the candidates who have thus far announced themselves. Democrats and Republicans alike, estimable gentlemen though they may be, are so inadquate, in view of the issues that the next President must meet, that their aspirations are little short of ridiculous.
