Additions to Hooverism included:

Alfred Pritchard Sloan Jr., president of General Motors Corp. Reason: "As stockholders in the United States, have we not received excellent dividends in the way of reduced taxes, quite general prosperity? Why, then, is a change logical?" Mr. Sloan admitted that "observance of prohibition laws is far from satisfactory," but he is "thoroughly convinced that prohibition has increased our national efficiency."

Gifford Pinchot, independent Pennsylvania Republican, onetime (1923-27) Governor. Reason: Prohibition.

George W. Lane of Chicago, brother of the late Franklin K. Lane, President Wilson's Secretary of the Interior. Reason: "Superior qualifications."

Lammot du Pont, Delaware Republican, Wet industrialist. Reason: Prosperity.

Mrs. Amanda Dent of Carthage, Mo., aged 97, sister-in-law of President Grant's wife. Reason: impressed by the Hoover acceptance speech.

Miss Marion Nevada Talley, opera singer. Reason: "what the farmers need."

James A. Frear, insurgent Republican Representative from Wisconsin.

Senator Furnifold McLendel Simmons, who resigned as leader of the North Carolina Democracy and said he would vote for neither Smith nor Hoover, last week openly joined the anti-Smith Democrats.
