What Presidential Candidate Likes to Do
Central Press and Grafton Sentinel report President Hoover’s idiosyncratic preferences as he nears the presidency. He enjoys camping and cooking but refuses to wash dishes, smokes cigars yet dislikes cigarettes, loves cherries and peanuts, reads detective stories, solves mysteries, builds dams, fishes and bow hunts, enjoys white dress shirts, jokes with his police dog, and relaxes with a political science library and garden views. He favors chocolate ice cream for dessert.
