Swept the Convention

Swept the Convention.

After all that was said about Mr. Hoover's being a good President but a bad politician, he seems to have tamed the Republican National Convention in a way which that Convention was never tamed before. All the inconvenient demands were compromised or side-tracked, and the President raced away with the nomination on the first ballot. If he can manage the election campaign as he manages the party managers, he should win his second term, and after another four years of worrying over inflationary and deflationary issues he may emerge with the reputation of a good politician but a bad President. For the President who can balance a depression Budget and yet maintain intact “America's high standards of living” has probably not yet been made, either by the elector or by Heaven.
