...central fact militating against Candidate Hoover is that many people cannot understand what he stands for. He is no forthright protagonist of an ideal or program. He puts forth no clear-cut political or social theory except a quiet "individualism," which leaves most individuals groping.

The author does indeed seem to advocate demagogy, and polygamy; does indeed say his say against the established practice of medicine and law, and the fashion...
...present exhibition, called the "Corn Dance", is particularly fine in design. Here is represented an invocation to the deities that have given the corn, provided for its germination, and brought it to maturity. A complete discussion of the major Corn Dance would involve the entire subjects of religion, social organization, and symbolism. From a purely artistic stand-point, the corn ceremonials commend themselves to those who appreciate a beautiful performance...
