The Mississippi flood of 1927 furnished the immediate drama necessary to begin Hooverizing for the Republican nomination. So easily were Hoover delegates to the Kansas City Convention rounded up that the slogan "Who But Hoover?'' became irresistible logic, vanquished the "allies" (Watson, Curtis, Lowden et al) before the voting began.
