Representative Franklin Fort of New Jersey has resigned as secretary of the Republican national committee, in which capacity he has served since |Herbert Hoover'’s nomination for the 'presidency. In & letter to Chairman Claudius rmum Fort gave the press of his duties as a member of Congress as the !primary reason for his withdrawal, and added he felt to “leave at this itime, since the affars of the party are iin such splendid shape.” Huston accepted the committee sec- ‘etary's resignation with a letter sayiug At came as no surprise, but was a source jof deep regret. Both letters were made public last night. Commenting om p-ny matters, Fort said: ‘There is no question in any sane mind of the fact that the President is stronger with the rank and file of the A \Nation even than on the day of his triumphant election. Nor can there be any doubt that the continuance of his fine habit of transforming the ideals of the American people into. practical | Teality, as in the farm relief legisiation and the calling for the London confer- ence, for example, will lead to yet greater triumphs in the future.” Huston said he was accepting Fort's | Tesignation because it was “not fai to ask that he continue at his post, and that his withdrawal caused & { “feeling of personal loss” shared “by every member of the national com- mittee.” Fort was manager of Mr. Hoover's | ‘pre-convention campaign for the pmi- | dential nomination and was an active ‘uerker for the present Chief Execu- { tive throughout the campaign proper.
