Show A f 0 0 0 I 1 0 BY RADFORD MOBLEY special to the park record washington D C sept evidence Is piling up here that the coming session of congress which will meet in a little over two months from now will produce some of the most vicious attacks ever made on a president in recent times any stand mr hoover sees lit to take Is immediately assailed by his enemies and his announcement that he will veto any further payments to the soldiers on their bonus has led to a roar from all those wanting to curry favor with tile the veterans it Is considered likely that the soldiers bonus will be used as the main weapon of attack against the president when congress meets the outcry against his veto it if he should oppose the bill will p probably ob a bly be louder and more bitter tha than 11 that which greeted president wilsons Wll WIl sons attempt to make the united states ste ites a member of the league of nations all this is extremely displeasing to mr hoover who Is not a fighter and who has more than once expressed himself with much bitterness regarding newspapers which elk to play up fill all news about the always present at the seat of any nation and particularly so go at the capital this year mr hoover Is not a good publicist he has never appreciated the angle of the washington correspondents who want action in their news and not drab accounts of things achieved that is the only kind of news that the president can understand or that he is in sympathy with the consequence Is that he be Is more out of touch with the sources of news than almost any president since the turn of the century lie he I 1 Is the exact opposite of president roosevelt who was never happy unless he was in the center of a controversy which got on the front page of every newspaper in the nation mr hoovers personal friends have ofton advised him to come out with the plain statement of his bis position that he Is not interested in politics as such nor in fit the petty bicke rings that most politicians indulge in when they are jockeying tor for position he has refused to issue any formal statements preferring ferring to re maln the target of abuse and leaving it t tr posterity to vindicate his official acts obviously this condition does docs not make mak mr air hoover a rood good pre presidential s ld candidate and his bis main strength will lie in the vast tiny army of his appointees these can be relied upon to deliver enough votes to insure his nomination and it Is the campaign that will follow that will test his strength with the rest of the country the most uncertainty in a slate making way that exists right now Is regarding vice presidential nominees lately james hamilton lewis the suave and courtly senator elect from illinois is bulking balking large in the public eye it Is no secret that the powerful illinois delegation will cast its 68 58 votes for lewis for president on the first ballot at the democratic convention ven tion not that illinois expects him to become the party candidate it will merely be for trading purposes and lewis unquestionably q u es t i 0 n a b 1 y would W 0 u 1 d add L d d considerably co n bi d e r ab 1 y to the h e
