It would be hard to keep educators from joining in the movement to nominate Herbert Hoover fo r president. Antioch College is said to be a unit in support' Hoover, from President Morgan down to the student body. And this in Senator Fess own home town* Wil- berforce has a strong Hoover Club with a large membership. Wednes day, President McChesney joined the Hoover ranks, having long bet-rt an admirer o f the Secretary. Greene county colleges are only in line With the other educational institutions in Ohio. And why should they not be. Prosident-emeritis, W- O. Thompson, Ohio’s grand-old-educator, was the first to sigh a Hoover petition. It is almost certain that Senator Willis and Senator Fess are about to break over the manner in which the Willis campaign is beitig conducted, FesS, an early supporter o f Hoover, finally agreed to aid Wilis arid is one o f his candidates fo r delegate. How ever he protests such actions o f Coni', Brand, and Willis as well, in terming Hoover “ un-American, pro-British, etc.” In Springfield political circles Tuesday it was freely predicted that Brand might profit by the split and conclude to enter the primary as a candidate against Senator Fess fo r his second term.
