The Scripps-Howard press coaxed and clamored and, more compelling than any of these, the Springfield Republican, a Bible to many Republicans, issued a fiat, citing 16 reasons. The last day approached, the next-to-last day arrived, and that evening Candidate Hoover did it-authorized the filing of his name to fight Senator Watson for Indiana's delegates as he was already fighting Senator Willis for Ohio...

In the name of God, Members of the American Congress, I beseech you to give us our independence before the Philippines, like the 'Teapot Dome' and the naval oil lands, are donated to campaign contributors whose mouths are watering for our golden natural resources...
