HOOVER'S BRAIN AND
EXPERIENCE N E E D E D
B Y U. S. -PROF. ROSS BELGIANS BATTLE REBS
T I OO VER is tho most popular presidential possibility in the
-A- country to d a y " .
So said Prof. K. A. Ross, head of the University of Wisconsin
Bociolopry department, in an interview with � State .Journal reporter.
In spite of the stronp follow ing Prof. ltoxs believes Hoover has
amonp the people, he said Hoover will meet with dangerous opposi-^
Uon if he is persuaded to run for the office.
" Ti is to the interest of both
parties to avoid his candidacy be�
cause he is an outsider, ' Prof. Ross
said. " The Democrat ami Republi�
can party leaders feel the presi�
dency should be for one of their own
hind. They believe the big job
should po to a professional who
lias been in politics for tw enty or
thirty years. Neither party wants
an outsider to butt in and walk off
with the plum
" But after all, it is not the
party's presidency; it is the people's
presidency. And it is to the peop le's
interest that H oover's qualitieations
be carefully considered.
" The other candidates send up
little balloons to see which way the
wind is blowing. Hoover fearlessly
gives his opinions. I believe the
American people like Hoover's way.
I think the American people like to
have a man s honest convictions
rather than his politic conduct.'
P ro f . Ross pointed to H oover's
record from the time he left col�
lege. Hoover was one of Prof.
Ross' students at Leland Stanford
university before he graduated in

party politicians a w a k e nights wondering w h o 's who with Hoover,
slept in a deserted workm an's shack in a grove behind Leland Stan�
ford university, while he was earning his way through college by
doing anything and everything which would bring him small sums'
of money.
