NO. 22 HOOVER IS NOV MAN OF TilE HOUR And California Republicans ' And Democrats Said To Be Almost Solid For Former Food Administrator . (Copyright by Washington Star) Washington, Jan. .24.' - Herbert Hoover has loomed so large on the political horizon during the past week as measurably to eclipse Interest In other presidential possibilities. Dis patches to The Star from its political correspondents In every part of the country show that Hoover Is being more discussed today, than any other man In either party. This Is due In a considerable measure-, no doubt, to the novelty of a situation which sees a man seriously considered for the presidency whose 'political affiliations are unknown, but there manifestly is a very consider able body of sentiment which not only doesn't know but doesn't care bow Hoover may have voted In the-past, or whether he ever voted. It is fot Hoover because of belief in the man, and it would support him on either the ; republican r the democratic ticket; and In the event of failure of either to nominate him, "It would support him as an Independent can didate. . ' ., The non-partisan or unpartisaa character of the Hoover boom ex tends even to his home state of Cali fornia, where during the week thirty prominent cltltens, ' some democrats, but mainly republicans, issued a call to make Hoover the state's favorite A, 41.. .v. .AiA..- Senator Hiram Johnson.,. A dispatch from San Francisco says belief Is nn n rnar innii n -s nnwHr ani Mr iiih republican primaries he would take the delegation away from Johnson. The same dispatch says that Califor nia democrats have no other thought but to Bend a solid Hoover delegation to the democratic national conven tion. In New England there are two Hoover booms,, running ja?allel,one republican and the other democratic, and there are Indications that back of the boom In both parties are men who were prominent in Hoover's war time food administration. But the Hoover movement In both parties In New England seems to be meeting obstacles because of lack of know ledge as to his political sympathies. A dispatch from Augusta says Hoover sentiment among Maine democrats is beginning to cool because of belief that he Is a republican and that there is a growing volume of talk favor able to Gov. Cox of Ohio and Attor ney General Palmer. In New Hamp shire, on the other hand, the Hoover .. . . i.i. .u Maa auma T n nnv iiirh una uuiu anion democrats.

C, Jan. St. The present high sugar prices are one of the ; fruits of . the partisan strife stirred, up here early last year when the Republicans took control of. the special session of Congress. Along In, August, after ths parti sans had shouted all summer about the overexerclse of government con trol, the Question of continuing the Sugar Equalization Board another year and buying the Cuban sugar crop came up. At that time there was at -least one member of the Board ltself.,who thought Jt was time for the Government to get out of the market, and the sentiment among the majority In Congress seemed to urge such a course. VOnaBCbool of economists holding' this theory ar gued that the peace treaty would.be signed and alj the nations would lis! released from their war alllance'and ready to go into the market -bri a supply and demand basis. Then came October with . world markets still unsettled and when the Sugar Board appeared before Con gress It urged that Its existence be continued until December 31st; 1920 and that It be authorized to purchase the coming Cuban crop. But Con gress still-seemed Jo favor getting out of the market and there was no action. In December the Attorney General, who had taken over the food situation, announced that the Board, lacking , Congressional .. continuance, would, cease to function after De cember 81st; '( h, ,V This meant that the relentless law of supply and demand would have to be allowed to enter an unready field again after that- date. In other words, with an actual existing sugar shortage, the bars were to be thrown down. There would be no market Control. There would be no whole sale distributing scheme and every corner of the world was to get what lt would pay for. Realizing .what : tlielr failure to act was bringing on, Congress at the last minute got busy and on December 20th the Sugar Equalization Board was continued for another six months.. By this time, however, the Central Cuban agency had gone out of exist ence and control of the market could not be secured through one agenoy as before', but the market must, be chased down' wherever Cuban pur chases were possible. Meanwhile the allied nations who controlled the Cuban market laBt year had unbound themselves from their alliance and were already in the field s our com petitors. Besides In renewing the life 0f tne Board Congress had failed to nrnvlda it anew with its former oow- h be BUgar. It is esti- mated that the United States will get considefably more than half the Cub an SUPPly. ; ' - , l.S : .V.; Had we bough a control ot the entire crop In October or November, prices would have , been somewhat stabilized by this time. As lt Is, how ever,, January prices are considerably above normal.. February quotations are slightly lower' end March prices show farther, receding with the fore cast that the sugar flurry may end with the coming of Spring, and a re turn all over yie world to more near ly normal conditions. Meanwhile, with a greater consumption in this country than ever before, with ab normal conditions generally, and with, the necessity for high cita tions to secure prefered sugar stocks from other fields than the Cuban and with some Isolated hftardlng and profiteering till going on, the law of supply and demand is gradually wording back Into Its own. ; . ,h HIT OLD IL C L BODY :F0UND IN RUINS OF FIRE s Several Others Probably Were Burned to Death in Hotel Holman After Midnight Last Night (By Associated Press) v Detroit,' Jan. 26.
