The Hoover Week

The week of Nominee Hoover was uneventful, busy-beaverish. It consisted chiefly in trips to and from the broad-terraced Hoover home in Washington to the bare-walled Hoover office at the Department of Commerce. There were no public remarks, no remarkable actions. To avoid the peering public the Hoovers switched churches on Sunday, going to the Quaker meeting house on Irving street instead of the Friends' meeting house at 18th and I streets.

Bulletins continued to conflict as to just when the Beaver Man would start westward to bow from train platforms, see the President, have his triumph at Palo Alto, accept the nomination.
