The letter discussing President Hoover was written -in March, 1928, to Herbert: L., Clazk,rof Philadelphia. After Stayton - wrote that -he knew Mr. Hoover “is not at heait a dry” it added: “l fear that I must app-oach the conclusion that he is a dry be cause of the prospective profit in votes, and nothing that has to do with right and wrong or with facts will make any impression upon him.” Stayton told the committee he did not regard James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor as a wet” but he reiterated his opinion express ed yesterdav that the ecabinct member believed prohibition a failure. Chairman Caraway of the com mittee said a friend of Mr. Davis had called attention to. an appar ent inconsistency in Stayton’s testimony vesterday, when he ex pressed the opinion that- ~iv membe~s of the Hoover cabinet believed prohibition a failure. -Caraway then read testimony by Stayton which said he classi fied Davis as a “wet” and later said he was “not wet hardlv.” “] do not regard him hardly as a wet,” Stayton testified tod~-- addirg that he still believed the Labor Secretary thought p-ohibi tion a failure.
