If space permitted, this tabulation So far as observers are concerned most of this “against Hoover” busi ness is humorous stuff. ^ But for the President himelf, it is deadly serious. The against vote, dominated by de pression psychology, promises to be the most important factor in this year's election. The question is whether in a few short weeks President Hoov’er and the Republican leaders can crush the against movement which today cer tainly appears to possess formidable proportions. That a mighty effort will be made along that line goes without say ing.
