Testimonial

For Hooverism the testimonial-of-the-week was the following:

"I intend to vote for Mr. Hoover, although I disagree with his views about Prohibition. I think the country will come to a more intelligent way of dealing with that subject than is contained in the present laws, but that will probably be a slow process, and in the meantime the hard task of carrying on our free government with all its many difficulties and dangers must be performed by us. We need the very best man possible to be the head of that business.

"Among all the men available for that place, I think Mr. Hoover far the most competent."--Elihu Root, sometime Senator, Secretary of War and Secretary of State.
