JORNSON'S BOOM ~ GETSHARD KNOCK Senator Moses’ Apparent Flop to Coolidge Big Event . in National Politics. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. No political development since Cal- vin Coolidze became President of the Tnited States equals in interest Sena- tor George H. Moses' announcement that New England republicans will line up for the President’s nomination in 1924, The Moses manifesto is chiefly important for its indication that the New Hampshire senator has apparently deserted the cause of Hi- ram Johnson. Almost equally significant is the de- duction politiclans have been quick to make—namely, that President Cool- idge rreconcilable” on the world court issue. It is considered tmpo: sible that so uncompromising an iso- lationist as Senator Moses would iden- tify himself with Calvin Coolidge fortunes if the New Hampshire bitter- ender had not found him “safe” on in- ternational questions.

House, There are some things in govern- yment that he does not believe can be {cured by legislation. His friends indeed be surprised if he lends encouragement to_ the plan of |some of the farmer-labor group to {have the government go into the { wheat business. His mind doesn't run that way, for if it did he would probably favor the government going into the boot and shoe business, run- | ning a chain of grocery stores or sim- ilar other activities. He probably will take the view that there is altogether too much government in business now and that the government would only be ju fled in taking up such forms of state soclalism as are made necessary by a great crisis or, perchance, to avert a panic.

He has, no doubt, already outlined, In his own mind, what he will stand for. The issues will be clearly drawn and they will be so worded that the humblest citizen will be able to un- derstand the course the new regime at the White House Intends to steer, Bocause of its importance to the country and also to the republican party the President is taking great pains in constructing his platform. But every one can rest assured that when the new charter is given to the public the line of cleavage will be well managed. {Coprright. 1923.) HOTEL_INN 604-610 9¢h St. N.W.
