16 FEAR FREEZE QUT FROME. 0. P. RACE Charge Made - Coolidge’s ‘Friends Seek to Bar Other { Presidential Aspirants. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Republican leaders grouped together in what ‘is known as the “ways and means committee” are meeting here to discuss plans for the financing of the republican party in the forthcoming presidential campaign. Money raised now is not supposed to be used in the interest of any particular candidate, but in order to give the party a momentum on the day the republican national convention chooses the candi- date for the Presidency. g Murmurs of discontent are heard with reference to the alleged tenden of the Coolidge people to close the rac against any other contenders. One of | the leaders here has told Fred 'W. Up- ham, treasurer of the republican na- | tional committee, that he believes it a mistake to have the present administra- tion r ve commitments for del tes this s of the proceedings and give the imp jon that it is uneghical for ¢ to announce a candi- dacy. didatex Holding Back. It is fact that the w 1-be ca didates are holding back in deference to psident Co ause the lat- ter has not n opportunit of address yngress and announ ing his legislative prog which, of course, is his platform for the nom- ination e paign. Some of the friends of the rival ¢ are crying out that the rac closed against them and that a nomin: on “dictated by the White House Is not an ex- pression of the free will of the re- publican party who re in_a _ pe tion to dent Coolidg cause would- feel it were done to | could be called a * nomination and that more and value would inure to nomination received after every o had had a chance to make a campaign tran under the opposite kind of cir-} cumstances. Situation Held Psychologiecal. The difliculty, however, from the viewpoint of ndidates other than Tresident Coolidge is that the situa- tion is largely psychological. Pol-} iticlans in various parts of the coun- | try who are able to . influence the naming of delegates think they see the “old guard” flocking to Coolidge and they get on the bandwagon. For one thing, Mr. Coolidge has not yet expre: ough views on anything to e ¢ opponents udge whether e has sensed the true w lic opinion or whether there is a chance by differing with him to bring public opinion to their side.
