We hope it is. There is room for understanding work in this state. The state chairman can be a power for much good, if he should desire it above the petty spoils of | political office either for himself or his friends; and, \if it is for his friends, it is just as bad as for him- \self. There is room for better legislative results, | better administrative action, honest consideration of |road measures, a big, broad conception of the tax |problem, a healthy viewpoint on many social and labor questions, | If the state chairman is the man who fits our state re- quirements as Herbert Hoover, under whom he served, fits into our national landscape, he will be a factor to be reck- oned with. Not every change that may be advocated is| fallible. A state chairman, even if he is a party selection, must look upon tbe state as a whole as THE agency to serve. The progress of the state, rather than the promotion of any party, should be his goal, and, in the end, it would reward the party as well. The usual state chairman does not recognize this, or won't. factional and purely party questions of no great moment a year from today, or five years, or ten.
