the fact that he had to deal with the

Party Leaders Want to Know
Whether Hs Is Republican
or Democrat
BLOW AT PALMER IS SEEN
Washington, .Inn. "-. Herbert
Hoover's candidacy for President wns
brought to Washington yesterday, nd
startled the political leaders of both
parties. It aroused intense curiosity as
Lto its backing and purpose, as wel.l as
focusing attention on the question of
whether Mr. Hoover is a ItrpubU in or
a Democrat; or if the movement back of
him represents the boom of a new part
which is aiming to make Mr. Hoover its
head. . ' ,
There have been simmerings of the
Hoover candidacy for some time, the
sentiment evidencing itself here and
there throughout the country. Some ot
it has been spontaneous, while a part
apparently has been the result of well
laid propaganda in favor of the former
food administrator.
Up to this time the "Hoover for
President" talk has created slight in
terest, but the espouse; of Mr. Hoover's
candidacy by as staunch a Democratic
organ as the New York AVorlil places an
entirely new color upon lh" movement
aud caused it to receive more serious
consideration than it has hitherto bevu 1
given.
Among leaders in Congress there was
no favorable response to the suggestion.
Senator Hitchcock, for the Democrats,
was virtually the only leader of promi
nence who reacted favorably to the idea,
while most of the others stood oh their
right to discover first what party Mr.
Hoover belongs to and what the move
ment means..
vs.e President Marshall cannlly said !
"I refuse to make nny comment "on
Mr. Hoover until we see which party
nominate.'' him," a sentiment that was
Immediately echoed by Senator Under
wood, of Alabama.
Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, was
even more pronounced, saying: "I don't
think well nf Mr. Hoover or of the food
administration. He did well for the
English, however."
SenatorMcKeller curtly declared:
' "I never voted for a Hepu oilcan, and
I never will."
Among the Republicans the sugges
tion was even less favorably received.
Senator Oronna, of North Dakota, who
represents nn agricultural state, greeted
'the suggestion with sarensm, saying
that Mr. Hoover was not taken serious
ly "out his way," and then asked,
"Whv not nominate the Prince of
Wales'"
neprcscnfr.vivc Kahn, of California,
called nttoVon to the fact that He-
publicans were not likely to forget that.
Mr. Hoover Had appealed to tne coun
try for the. election of a Democratic
Congress, while Representative Esch,
of Wisconsin, suggested that If Mr.
Hoover Wished to become a candidate
it would be well for him to select his

VERY merchant, in every line of business, has
his own particular hauling problem. There is no
universal type of truck to meet all conditions.
What capacity does he need? What kind of body
should he use? What equipment for better trucking?
Can he save expense with a trailer? Can he use
horses to advantage? What will his whole trans
portation budget be?
These questions require expert analysis the same
as any engineering problem. That's the reason we
maintain a Transportation Engineering Department
to investigate and compare methods and costs of
transportation in every line of business. Our records
serve as a basis for comparison with your own par
ticular problem.
The man who has not yet realized how intensely
practical this service is should consult with our
Transportation Engineering Department without
obligation. Tn the science of fitting trucks into par
ticular businesses, the Packard people are pioneers
and leaders.
