I think he would be as great n success as President of the United States as he was as an en gineer, lie teems to have the knack of overcoming olivtncles and briusing or der out of chaos." "The questions have been laised as to his qualifications as a tatc-ninii" it was BURgested. "As to his statesmansiiip," said Mr. Irwin, "he has demonstrated his effi ciency fully. If be didn't possess fctatesinansliip he never ro.ild have dealt with the Oermans when tliej weie in vadinK Belgium and brinjj them to a realization of their rcspoiiMbilitj As to diplomacy a very necessary quali fication for president it was scverelv tested in Europe among strange peoples and lie brought results which I HiitiU it is agreed were highlj satisfactorv "Jlr. Hoover is broad visioued and possesses initiative to the highest de gree. This was bhown while he was in London in 1014. At' that tlmn lie was simply there as an individual. Ho helped any number of Ktrnndcd Americans who were left in a. sorry plight on accoitut of tho European conflict and later formed the American committee to assist Amer icans stranded in Euiope. Mr. Hoover has strong constructive tendencies. Ho always gives n disin terested character of service and work, looking at things on a broad scale. While he may not ho acquainted very much with politics, he ueveithcless has keen insight mid knows how to meas ure men. "If Mr. Hoover became n candidate what ticket do you think he would run on.' .Mr livwii was nsKcu. "Ills record indicates that he is ft progiessive Uepubliran," Mr. Irwiu le plied. "but he seems to bo nonpar tisnn." HOOVER CONFERS WITU SUPPORTERS v- -. I.

One of Mr. Hoovers friends was asked whether lie would claim allegi ance to either the Uepubluan or the Democratic partv. 'Politics will have nothing to do with his campaign at the stait." he icplied "P.efore loug Mr. Hoover will make his declaration of principle- lh' will be in substance his platform It will set forth just what Mr. Hoover believes to be the issues of the campaign and his own attitude toward these issues Ihe politicians will then have a chance to look them over, and if the demand of ho people is strong enough for just this kind of a platform, cither ono of the parties may consider Mr. Hoover is just tho man to wlu with," "How about Mr. Hoover being nn Independent candidate?"

".lust what is Mr. Hoover's attitude toward the attempts being made to boom him for the presidential nomina tion ?" "Well," was the reply, "Mr. Hoover is not at all displeased with tho evi dence that there is a spontaneous ten timent throughout thu country for him." If long time membership in tho Ue publican Club fixes a member's status as n Uepublican in politics (and such paitisan club membership is accepted in political eludes as piltua facie evidence of a man's political convictions and sjmpathics), then Herbert Hoover is actually a Uepublican.
