A-6 HOOVER TRIP STIRS f POLITICAL CIRCLES Whether He Will Deliver ' Speeches or Just Fish Is : if Disturbing Factor. i . I BY DAVID LAWRENCE. 'Whether President Hoover is going West on an old-fashioned political trip *>r whether he is merely going fishing and vacationing seems to have dis turbed the political fraternity here abouts. Denials have come from the White liouse that the President had politics in mind or that he will make speeches. Just what harm there is or what de parture from precedent is involved if the President did make a few addresses, and even dicussed politics, is not ex plained Presidents have always re 'tained the right to make a tour across the continent and to take advantage of the opportunity to tell the people a few things about governmental policies. Democrats Are Busy. The Democrats, however, have not failed to seize upon the announcement of a forthcoming trip as a sign of weak ness on the part of the administration. As a matter of fact, they will not fail to make the most of any losses that the Republican party may sustain in the Autumn congressional elections. Mr. Hoover, therefore, is likely to be urged by Republican leaders to do what he can in the way of speechmaking. The theory has always prevailed that the stronger a President is with public opinion, the more likely is his party to retain control of Congress. Mr. Hoover’s itinerary thus far in cludes only the national park areas and he will, of course, go to the Pa cific Coast. Nowadays, however, a President can be in retreat almost any where in the United States and yet by microphone and press dispatch reach •11 the people who want to listen or read. President Taft made a trip in the tniddle of his administration and so did Mr. Wilson and later Mr. Harding. Obviously Presidents try to avoid a discussion of politics, but no matter what they say, the political world in terprets their utterances as a part of a well designed plot to capture votes either for themselves or the members of their party who are up for election. People Want to See Him. Another argument made in favor of fc, long trip by a President after he has been in office a year or more is that “the people want to see him.” A retiring personality is too much of a mystery for the average voter and while some residents have profited by such mystery, the desire for a personality who will come out and folks is considered by the politicians as far Btore advantageous in the long run. Entirely apart from the political dis cussion of the President’s trip, there la enthusiastic comment from Western members of Congress, because of the belief that the attention of the whole country will be focused on the West. Mr. Coolidge achieved something of this and won the gratitude of the Mid dle West, particularly the Dakotas, but no President has called attention as Mr. Hoover’s proposed journey will do to the vast possibilities of recreation Afforded by the national parks. Mr. Hoover, as an engineer, always has been interested in the potentialities of Western land and rivers, and un doubtedly such speeches as he will make will be devoted to an exposition of what be conceives to be the economic future of the West, as well as its recreational Advantages for the whole Nation.
