TUESDAY, AUGUST 9, 1997 POLITICIANS > ARE CONFUSE Pres. Coolidge’s Recent An- nouncement Brings Many Explanations* (BY ROPNEY DUTCHER) ° Washington, Aug. 9—(NEA)—The net resuit of President Coolidge’s remarkable announcement at Rapid City has been to throw a whole crop of political experts into utmost con- fusion. The president didn’t say that he wasn’t @ candidate to succeed him- self, If he had there might be a liege less confusion. He said: do not choose to run for presi- dent in 1928.” That meant something, but it might mean anything, and everyone in Washington whose opinion was worth seeking suggested a different explanation. : If one man’s guess is as good as another's, then the suggestion is presented herewith that the presi- dent meant to say in effect: * “The president will not participate in any dog fight. If his kennel can’t lick the other kennels, he is not go- ing to step in and dictate the result. One reason is that doesn't care to risk being chewed up and the other reason is that such a cou would be regarded as poor sports manship.” * Statement Carefully Worded Sp carefully worded a statement as the’ one Mr. Coolidge actually re and the fact that he refused to plify it in any way are strong indi- cations that the president hardly meant that he was definitely refus- ing reelection. If he had meant that, there was little to restrain him from saying just that. Your correspondent, having ob- served the president on numerous occasions, once suggested to one who knew Coolidge well that the president was @ nervous man, “Not that,” replied this prominent person. “But he never seems at case. One gets the impression that in’t sure of himself. i embarassed by conditions mediately affecting himself, although he has found from experience that a policy of waiting and doing nothing is the safest when it comes to issues which are his official rather than his personal concern. _ Showdown Now Imminent Did the situation in which Coolidge recently found himself finally be- come intolerable to him? Is he the sort of a man who must have full and whole-hearted support of his party or none at all? Did he feel that the continued “third term” dis- cussion, the dissatisfaction of the and the flood areas, and the obvious fact that many important men in his own party would be glad |Z to get rid of him—that all these 6 placed in an uncertain position against which he ought to rebel and demand a showdown? ~ Is so, the Coolidge dignity has been maintained and the showdown is imminent. Either a majority of the party leaders will break or they will stand by the president. At this writing it is probable that most of them are completely flabbergasted. They may have been hoping with all their hearts that Coolidge would decline to run for reelection, but the way in which he did so could hardly in- spire a cautious politician with his eye on the feed box to let out an immediate whoop for another candi- date. ‘At this writing they continue to Re ered divergent optatans as to just What the president means, Move Strengthens It will be much easier for politi- cians on the fence to express regret at the Coolidge “withdrawal” and go on their ways rejoicing, but the president's stroke may actually strengthen his position. It is much harder to shoot at a candidate who insists that the office must seek the man, and if Coolidge is not nomin- ated, the disappointment will be less embarrassing than the crushing re- buff of going after a nomination openly and failing to get it, It is-unlikely that Coolidge acted without advice. It may even be that he received strong hints from the powerful forces behind the Republi- can party that there were stronger candidates than he and that if the party were to win in 1928 it must be sue its standard-bearer could hold great electoral vote of New York against a candidate like Al Smith. There have been rumors that the fore: reterred Be had decided as muck se ago. Pést with Hospital Dues Unpaid ied Representation at Legion Meet at.

Merriment continued unrestrained throughout, the night. Veterans found it cOnvenient to make it a 24. hour-a-day affair since many of| them had no places to sleep and those trying to rest in the temporary lode- ing houses invariably gave up in de- spair. Light covers were insufficient because the temperature was down to about 50. Additional handicaps were encountered by 100 men sleeping in the fire halls for a series of fire alarms, false and otherwise, kept the fire gongs clanging at brief inter- vals. ‘A new wrinkle in mascots appeared today.

Rail Board Decides Electric Rate Cases Numerous: cases involving ‘electric rates tor various North Dakota cities and towns have recently been decided by the state railroad board and other similar cases are pending. A petition for a reduction in elec- trie, rates at Tower City was dis- missed when it was shown that the company serving that point had not had time to stabilize its operations there and that no records are avail- able to show what the rate should be. The case will come up later when this data is available. p The Farmers Elevator Company of ‘Arthur, which supplies that town- with current, een ordered to file a new rate schedule based ona kilowatt hour per month basis. The top step of the new lighting schedule for residences’ will he 20 cents per, kwh with a net of 18 cents per kwh if paid within a discount period. The company will be required to work out the balance of the schedule. The yate for electric refrigeration will be 10 cents per kwh with ai minimum of $1 a month. New Rates Approved | New rates for Cando and Edmore, filed by the Public Service Corpor-| ation, have been approved as have reductions in rates made by the Otter Tail Power company at Fair- dale, St. Thomas and Hamilton.
