Hoover to Feel Way Carefully as President
President elect Herbert Hoover plans a cautious quiet start at the White House keeping his own counsel much like Coolidge did after Harding’s death. He intends to assemble a cosmopolitan cabinet from relief and engineering circles and will announce cabinet choices only when ready. He will listen to party leaders but base decisions on reality rather than theory. He is expected to retain Mellon and New, with consideration given to Morrow or Borah for state, and Donovan for attorney general.
