Speakers Sought

Nationally prominent Republicans will be procured to speak at the Union, and there is a possibility that Herbert Hoover himself will come to Harvard for a short speech under the auspices of the Club.

30 Attend Meeting

The meeting last night was attended by about 30 undergraduates and alumni, and, until the election of Clark as chairman, the gathering was conducted by W. E. Stearns '23 who was interested in the club while an undergraduate and is at present chairman of the executive committee of the Harvard Alumni Republican Club.

Frederick Snyder, who as an appointee under Wilson on the Food Administration had considerable personal contact with the Republican nominee spoke on the qualifications of Herbert Hoover for the presidency. Mr. Snyder was formerly head of the Boston Chamber of Commerce and is at present a trustee of that body.
