THE FASCINATION OT HOOVER :
Much may be said for Mr Hoov
er as a presidential possibility, says
the San Francisco Argonaut. Iiis
powers of mind are large icd finely
disciplined. He has the scientific as
distinct from the political method
of thinking. He comes promptly to
definite judgments, and in his ad
ministrative activities he ignores
other than essential considerations.
He is a man of the people, hut not ;
in the sense that he is an unctuous
palaverer and a cheap flatterer of i
the moods and whims of the day. ;;
Individually he has nothing to gain <
from public office, even from the (
presidency, since at the point of j
established position he stands in the 1
front rank of the world's gallery of':
fame. There is a certain fascina-h
t'on in the thought of Mr. Hoover;;
ir. the presidential office in that he i
stands distinctly apart from the or-,!
dinary run of politicians. The eoun-!
try is tired of the many evils and i
abuses of politics as in recent years ; j
carried to costly and demoralizing 1
excesses. In the view of many Mr. 1
Hoover in the presidential office it
would tend to restore that happy i
condition, long in the background, : ]
when the mind of statecraft busied i
itself with the public welfare in j!
contempt of the interests—and of i
the trivialities—of partisan politics.
HOME OWNING.
More than 00,000 Pittsburgh fam
lies bought their homes during the
»st year, not because they were
jarticuiarly anxious to own their
>wu homes, but, according to real
estate men, they had to buy or
nove. This is continuing at the
ame rate thus far this year.
The home-buying movement began
wo years ago when war activities
n the mills brought scores of fami
I
ies into a community where hous
i
ng accommodations had been in
reasingly scarce for a number of
•ears. Cost of construction in
i
reased and this curtailed building
‘perations.
Rents have increased in propor
ion, small houses and apartments
howing the highest percentage. Fif
y percent raises for the coming
•ear are said to be common, while
n some instances 100 percent has
icen asked and paid where the oc
upant could afford it. “The de
nand is here and the living places
ire not,” is the way one real estate \
nan explained the situation.
Similar conditions prevail through
>ut the Pittsburgh district. In some
nanufacturing towns, industrial cor
>orations are building and buying
louses for their men, while in
>haron. Pa., the chamber of com
nerce has undertaken to finance the
onstruction of 500 residences.

What / Stand For
I am a candidate for National Committeeman of the Republi
can Party to be elected April 27th, and 1 stand for the following
principles:
I am not a politician and never ran for office before. I belong
to no political machine or combine and am under obligations to no
clique or faction.
I am opposed to machine domination in Alaska and if you elect
me I will take my orders from the people and nobody else.
While my home is in Anchorage, where 1 received the unani
mous indorsement of the Anchorage Republican Club, composed of
over one hundred fifty members. I will work for the entire Terri
tory of Alaska first, last and all the time.
If you elect me I will do my utmost to see that each locality
or division shall name the officers of that locality or division, and I
will tight bitterly the appointment of anyone outside of Alaska
to an Alaska office.
Alaska has been my home for 23 years, winter and summer,
and I feel sure I know what Alaska needs.
The time has come to put an end to outside dictation in our
affairs and I believe what Alaska needs is more firesides and fewer
carpet-baggers.
The only way to rid Alaska of machine politicians is to vote
against them. People of Alaska, 1 am making this fight for you
and I want your help. You deliver the votes and I will deliver
the goods.
J. E. CHOVIIN.
