The U.S. President Herbert Clark Hoover, did not intend to mix in the U.S. Congressional campaign, and his sole purpose in making public addresses in close succession was to outline some major problems of his administration. Hoover is President of the U.S. and what he says is assured in advance of wide reading and careful scrutiny, but the public was evidently invited to expect a wholly non-partisan discussion of matters to which, in Hoover's view, its attention should be called. Hoover must certainly know very well that whether he speaks or remains silent, whether he goes a field or bides at home, he cannot possibly take himself out of a campaign in which the entire membership of the House of Representatives and one-third of the members of the Senate are to be elected.
