REPUBLICANS Hooverizings Notable among Hooverizings of the week were:
Andrew William Mellon, over the radio from Washington: . . ."[after re- viewing fiscal history since 1920] The Republican party has given a notable instance of platform promises carried out. Under the leadership of President Coolidge, it has proved itself a party of constructive ability. In Mr. Hoover, it offers to the country an able and experienced leader, who will carry on the work of the present Ad- ministration. After a long and successful business career, he has held many public and official positions of the greatest responsibility. He has proved himself a great organizer, a far-seeing and resourceful executive, and has discharged every duty in a way to merit the highest praise and admiration. Based on nearly eight years of close association with him, I am convinced that he will give the nation a sound and successful administration of the Government and that he is supremely well qualified to deal with those great economic problems that influence so directly and to such a very large extent the prosperity of the country and the comfort, welfare and happiness of the people."
Now I'm not suggesting Gov. Romney as POTUS will lead us into another great depression - though such might happen - but the words used to promote Mr. Hoover by Mr. Mellon for the office ring familiar.
