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. Of the men'

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. Men who have no

hardly adequate.
"Of all the men whose names have
been mentioned, The World believes
that Mr. Hoover alone measures up
to the Presidency in the fullest sense".
