That is why Hooverites rejoiced last week when the Republican Party's busy Beaver man, unopposed in the California primary, obtained his home State's 29 delegates by virtue of some 600,000 votes. Though many a Republican cast his vote in the Democratic primary for strategic purposes, Candidate Hoover's total was larger than the combined totals of competing Republicans in California's last two presidential primaries.
