It catches rumors quick- | ly, be the breathing behind them never so gentle And the Washington mind readily associates political | rumors with known or half-known facts, and soon all tongues wag. The latest in Washington is that former President Coolidge is being urged to enterl the lists against President Hoover for the Repub- ‘ lican Presidential nomination in 1932. The following | special dispatch from the Washington bureau of | the politically wise New York World is significant: Political circles were buzzing today with a report that President Hoover and Chairman Huston of the Republican National Com- | mittee are doing their utmost to induce Calvin Coolidge to run for the Senate next year in Massachusetts. Three varying motives are alleged to be in the background: 1. To get rid of ex- Gov. Alvan T. Fuller as a candidate. 2. To unite the G. O. P. in the Bay State, which went to Smith last fall. 3. To keep | Mr. Coolidge from being a candidate for the | Presidency in 1932. The report probably would have had lit- tle notice had it not been circulated from a Republican source regarded as informed. Various Republican leaders said they had heard it and most of them disbelieved it could have any substance. Massachusetts politics are a subject of deep and continuing concern to the party managers and many rumors are the re- sult. The latest tale is plausibly linked to Senator Gillett's recent announcement he would retire. His announcement, it is | inferred, was part of the scheme to clear i the path for Mr. Coolidge. Months ago soundings were taken in the Bay State and party managers concluded that Mr. Coolidge could not be lured into the race. He was said to have his eye on a certain lucrative position in private busi- ness. It has never been any secret that the relations between Mr. Hoover and Mr. Cool- idge have been cool to the point of frosti- ness and that various Hoover leaders see what is referred to here as the “spectre of Calvin Coolidge” hovering over the White House. The fact that Mr. Coolidge gave a dinner to a group of Massachusetts newspaper men | last week at which there were cigars and | other ostensible confesions of candidacy, | served to give fresh alarm to the Hoover | managers. This is not the first time the ex-President prob- lem has caused more or less commotion and worry | to the Republican Party. It began with Gen. Grant | who came near being re-nominated in 1880. It came forth even more furiously when the unique Theodore Roosevelt was an ex-President. The Democrats have had but one recent real| ex-President problem—that of Cleveland. They set- tled it by nominating and electing him again after | a lapse of four years. But then the Democrats have had only two Presidents since the Republicans | went into power in 1860. The Democrats had a \-ery‘ perplexing ex-President situation before the Civil | War when Martin Van Buren was a Presidential| candidate for about twenty years. He was elected‘ in 1836, nominated and defeated in 1840, an active | candidate for the Democratic nomination in 1844, GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER | |we will all prosper jence to. | nounced, fon the exportation of gold, means that Japan is|resume of the first chapter of “All | |soon have been able to effect this desired restora- and a receptive candidate in 1848 and 18 performed in 1848, as Roosevelt subsequently by taking a Presidential nomination from De bolters when he failed to become the regular choice. | Mr. Coolidge does not write like one pects to enter politics ain either as a for the Presidency a United States F s|He is entirely too frank for one who harbor or a: any sort of an idea that his writings may become | issues in a Presidential campaign or of | Senate debate [ A Paris physician said that former n_‘m.t‘ { Emile Loubet of France died of old age.
