Cleveland ccunty Republicans have come to me to ask that I reply and let thin know that many others are of tne same opinion, and that Cleveland ccunty lacks much of being a 100 percent Hoover county. Mr. DePriesfs move to join Col Mann ixi opposing Hoover in the 1.102 Republican convention io not he makes it clear, a move in repudi ation of liis party* but only a re pudiation of Hoover. ‘ They may claim," he said, "the i j Hcovor is as popular now as in 19-J j It is easy to see that lie is not.

If that was not a clear re- j pudiatioa of Hoover alone and insi administration and not of the Re- j publican party, what was it? Manrj examples could be pointed out. In'. 1918 the Republican; swept Catawba ' and Gaston counties by good tna-i jeritieo. In 193C the Republicans were swept out because of the Hoover fajture. They're tired of Hoover, plenty tired; but they’re not tired of ; their party and the leaders belter: wake up and see it before it is Loo late end they drop out on the party rather than, take Hoover again.
