On August 29, Mr. Jtitchle, who

to Justice Scudder as follows:

'"What's the matter with Hoover?"
-vOOirin Vfltlnrhl Commit
tee has just issued a pamphlet bear
ing the title t -What Is The Mat
ter With Hoover?" As the author of
that pamphlet makes a poor show
ing, he might consplt the following
utterances of some of the most emi
nent Republicans. Here is a sympos
ium gathered from ' leaders of the
party with which Mr. Hoover. hap
pens to be affiliating at this time -September,
1928.
Senator William Borah, of Idaho,
said, page 1663 of the Congressional
Record, January 18, 1919,
"I say here upon the floor, and I
challenge successful contradiction,
that threo of the vast monopolies,
which control food in this country,
have,: with relation to their com
modities, directed Jand controlled the
Food Administration since its organ
ization. Ha (Hoover) permits
these people to, 'p effect, -fix their
own prices. j I have been ut
terly amazed at the facts which show
how these combines have influenced
and controlled tha
situation."
On the same pa?e and date of the
Record, Senator jKenvop, of Iowa,
saidt
"I call the Serhtor's 'attention to
the testimony nov being taken be
fore the: Agricultural Committee on
this question, in
which Mr. Heney
stated - that Mr. (ptton, the eminent
lawyer who had
harge of the. meat
end of the packinr bureau under Mr.
Hoover, stated to
lim that the profits
of the packers r. 11917 had been
nothing less thai a scandal."'. ? 7
" Senator Boies enrose, of Pennsyl
vania, said ,6n p: je 1795 of the Con
gressional Record
January .2 1 1919
"How, can he
(Hoover) be called
to account for itf
He may never re
turn to the Unjed States. He has
been living in Eigland all his life;
he owns a paatial establishment
there; and mo than likely, with
the close of thefvar, he will resume
his residence it that Island among
those congenial breign surroundings.
. I? am wiling to trust the
President fbut.I do object to
having a non-riident of the United
States, who ma never return to this
country again, r ... made the trus
tee of this fund' : i . -
The tollowinl dialogue Is found
on page 1980 1 h the Congressional
Record of January 24, 1919 1 ..
--- Mr. Borah i "-"i-r Hoover, who Tio-
lated the most fiadamental principles
of the Constitiaon of this country,
will not have vjjry much regard for a
statute In Eur-jle." .
, Mr. Lodge! JI do not think Mr.
Hoover will iy the slightest atten
tion to the te-ftis of the statute. He
was entirely ty less here. He undertook-
to aboTi bym his decree the
laws of stat s, with which he had
nothing mor?f to do than the Sultan
of . Turkey, sad he will not regard
these limitins." ,. ; f..-
On page l 5 4 of the Record .Jan
uary 13, 199, r Representative ;Will
R. Wocd, cflOhio, said. of . Mr. Hoov
ert
"I deny fhat we have an Amer
lean at thelhead of the distributing
committee, r ;' This . statement
should be snfficient to condemn him
in the minis of all men as being un
fit for a J responsible position of
trust."
Representative Charfes Brand of
Ohio, said In Congress on March 13,
1Q9S-
I . . t
"Mr.' Hcfover has been the supreme
opponent pf agricultural prosperity
for the pst . ten years. He came to
this country in'1917 because the Eng
lish nation wanted Kim to come here
and secure cheap food-for them and
the Allied, which he succeeded in do
ing at the expense of the American
farmer." , -
In an interview printed in the
Washington Post of June 11, 1928,
wired from Kansas City, Senator
Goff said: -. . . '
"No man who liyed twenty years
under tne Union Jack can love, the
Stars and Stripes. Hoover spent
$380,000 in his campaign arid $4,600
was 'used to buy the delegates in Mis
sissippi, $3,000 in Georgia, $2,100 In
Florida, and $1,000 in Alabama.
Senator Fess, of Ohio, was quoted
In' the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette
of February 4, 1928, as saying!
"Hoover must be greatly embar
rassed in seeking the nomination at
the hands of a party, he conspired to
defeat in 1918." f
These are things that were the mat
ter with Hoover, according to lead
ers oi the Republican party.
' If he was that sort of man when
the words above quoted were spoken,
he is that sort of man now.

THE' CDCKTAIL ISSUE
' ?
There is sharply define issue be
tween Herh't Hoover and Alfred E.
Smith on t&fe cocktail question.
Hold onjslsters! Dont' throw up
yours hands in either holy horror,
horror or righteous indignation. They
really drinfi cocktail, regardless of
the 18th amendment and the Vol
stead act, aW also regardless of what
you may thChk of it.
Hoover as 1 Smith are both tem
perate men, lut they do drink liquor
occasionally! so if you are seeking a
total abstlnlice candidate you will
have to looa elsewhere.
But therfe-' a difference between
these two l nkers, and here it is:
Herbert ifiover likes Clover Club
cocktails, vjoaie- Alfred Smith pre
fers the Maqiiatten variety. -
Naturally Al would. He lives in
Hanhatten, g;ind preference for the
kind of cocrail that made his home
town famol Is both natural and
patriotic, i f
Furthermlre.Hhe taste of the Dem
ocratic candidate is decidedly pre
ferable to iiat of the Republican
candidate. I i
The Marfjlatten is an honest-to-goodness
wiisky cocktail, flavored
with a dasf- qf bitters and lemon
Juice. It caif bd made with either rye
or bourbon , and. Uncle Andy Mellon,
our leading distiller, Is selling large
quantities of. each out' of his bonded
warehouses 3 x the drug stores thru

The Clover Club cocktail is liable
to contain knthing gin, vermuth,
rum, bran$r, cognac, white light
ning, horseshoe nails, aqua forti3
Just any ingredient that happens to
be handy., here are a dozen recipes
for its making. : '
&
Therefor J you are going to pick
your candidate on a cocktail basis
it is well atl yon have a thorough
understanding of the issue.
Also HooVer is the heavier drinker
of the two. STothing short of a mule's
earful seemi to satisfy him. Smith is
satisfied w!th a- few sips, and he
takes themh'ar and few between.
