New York report quotes Julius Barnes saying Herbert Hoover will not seek high office unless there is indisputable spontaneous popular demand. Barnes notes Hoover could join a Democratic ticket only if the Republican party shifts to a non progressive platform. He frames Hoover’s goal as advancing social opportunity while avoiding partisan gambit. A separate Washington dispatch describes bipartisan efforts by Senators Kenyon and Owen to forge reservations on the peace treaty and convene talks among Republicans Hitchcock and Underwood to steer ratification strategy.
