THURSDAY, JUNE 5, 1924, PRESIDENT SILENT > ONRUNNING MAT Friends Caunot See Hoover, Expert Administrator, Tied to Un- interesting Post. = | LENROOT'S NAME IS HEARD Is Classed as Progressive, But Sat- isfies Party. | BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Calvin Coolidge's advice on the sub- | jeet of the vice presidency is being | much sought by the managers of the | Republican party, but to date they have drawn no definite committment @ to individuals beyond the gel al statement that several names men- tioned to him would be satisfactory. Mr. Coolldge having been a Vice President himself ouce cannot recom- mend the life very heartily for there is nothing more uninteresting belng a Vice President unless it being a vice presidential candidate. . An active man, especially one with | an administrative talent, doesn't rel- ish the idea of sitting speechless in the Senate chamber listening to the monotonous debates and parliamen tary wrangles. That's why friends | of Herbert Hoover can think of noth- ing more undesirabie for an active -personality like his than to be tied down to a presiding officer's duties while there are larie projects like | water power, radio development and | the general program of the Depart- ment of Commerce to be worked out in the next few years, amble for Hoover. Mr. Coolidge has offered no word of | dissent to the talk of the Hoever | candidacy. The Sccretary himself | opposed to it, but some of the friends | of the President ars intrigued by the slogan “Coolidge and Hoover’ and they think it would be a vote-getter. But supposing Mr. Coolidge wins, Mr. Hoover's service as a vote-getter would end and he would be buried in the e presidency for four years. Supposing Mr. Coolidge didn't win, then Mr. Hoover's political fortunes, so far as availibility in 1928 is con- cerned—and he is still a relatively young man—would go by the boards. Mr. Hoover favored the league of nations, has a splendid war record | and a good administrative record | since the war, and is popular with | the woman voters. But his opportu- nities for service, he feels, would be greater if left to manage a govern- ment department, which is what would happen if Mr._Coolidge were elected. i Lowden May Be Drafted. | Next to Mr. Hoover, there are other | candidates wiio meet with presidential favor. They are, among othe Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, ter doesn’t want to make the race, may be drafted. There are certain rea- mains to he seen. The announcement LaFellette’s name is not to be for- mally presentpd to the convention | through a nominating speech, but| that the Wisconsin delegation will | merely vote for him—bar one, who is | w Coolidge delegate—was received | here with much Interest. This makes it practically certain that no nomi- | nating speeches will be made for the | presidency _except that made for | Tresident Coolidge and the sperches seconding the Coolidge nomination. | The Republican national committee | i pected today to conclude its hearing of the contests for delegates fo the convention. the only confests| that Senator | Arkansas, South Carolina, Tennessee and Mississippi. When it disposed Jesterdzy of the contests in the Dis- rict of Columbia and Georgia, the most difficult problems before the solved. Georgia Case Settled. For upwards of four hours, the committee struggled with the Georgia eontests—upwards of two hours in open session and then for two hours more behind closed doors. The result was the seating of the Henry Lin- oot Jahnson faction, which gets the en- {ire clghteen delegates allotted Georgia. | The contest yet was reminiscent of | contests from southern states| so_aroused the Republi. can national committee and national convention itself in the past It ap-| peared from the testimony, that im- Iediately after President Harding had been elected in 1920 three fac- tions of the Republicans of the state | had begun to camp on his doorsteps, ceeking to control federal patronage in Georgia. So, it was said, the Pres- Qent and some of the members of the | Republican national committee had | determined to bring about. if pos- Jublican party in Georgia Georgia D iicant were called into confer- ence in_Washington, .!ht‘n‘ me n\)(‘rl\‘ of the Republican national commi o mcluaig the late Clarence il | Jor, secretary of the committee, and Joseph B.

Dr. W. Y.

Johnson Point Scores. A point made by Johnson and his supporters with telling effect was that no group of members of the Re- publican national committee had a right to go into Georgia or any other state and dictate who should or hould not comstitute the party or- ganization of that state. B When the show down came in the committee the Johnson organization won b; vote of 22 to 14 over its op- ponents, and the vote was then made unanimous te seat the Johnson dele- rate: Had the committee turned down the Johnson organization it Would have caused the disgruntie- megt of many negro voters in closely contested states where Johnson is popular. Among those who voted Tor the Johnson organization were William M. Butler, Republican na- tional committeeman of Massachm~ setts, and_Edward F. Colladay, the District of Columbia national com- mitteeman. D. C. Issue Adjusted. The unanimous vote to place the Colladay-Prescott delegates from the District of Columbia on the temporary roll of the convention yesterday is believed to have settled effectually the controversy as to who's who in the Republican organization of the District. Aaron Bradshaw, leader of the contesting faction, will carry the matter to the credentials committee after the convention has organized, he says, but it 1s not believed the re- sult there will be different. The controversies in the District of over _delegates, which have arisen cvery four years for a long time, serve to emphasize the need of somd kind of a law to govern such Santa of 8t.
