Hoover Question
PHILADELPHIA June 27 bPi
— The expectant and uncertain
Republican national convention
reached a breathless moment in
choosing their presidential nom
inee with Taft,' Willkie and Dew
ey obviously in for a tussle ex
ceeding that of any party meet
ing since 1920.
In the background of the strug
gle stood the enigmatic figure of
Hoover. For two days he has
busied himself in many confer
ences and talked to most of the
candidates and numerous delega
tions. Some said he was quietly
seeking the nomination.for him
se'f. Some who professed to
know, even went s-o far as to
outline the former President’s
j strategy by which he hopes for
i a fair block of votes in the first
ballot, but regardless of his init
ial strength he would hang on if
succeeding roll calls showed him
gaining. If the second ballot gave
him no increase, these informants
said he would switch his strength
elsewhere on the third ballot,
where the first major break in
the delegates is expected. The
convention is scheduled to start
balloting this afternoon.

Wonder whatever became of....?
Did bis classmates lose track of him?
How could they ? He was the sort of
friend that all of us would want to
keep . . . mostly because of his under
standing slant on life and people and
things. He was active in athletics, yet
his studies never suffered . . . nor did
overwork cheat him of recreation and
relaxation. Light-hearted, yet serious
when problems faced him . . . always
master of his worries. He avoided idlers,
but added constantly to his circle of
sincere friends. He was courageous
without being reckless, confident with
out being cocksure . . . moderate in all
things. Everybody said he’d make good.
He has.
