COOLIDGE STRATEGY ROLLS UP SUPPORT President Expected to Carry “Cau- tious” Policy Into Race for Election. CAMPAIGN IS COSTING LITTLE Loyalty to Party and Personality Believed Strong Assets. ¥¥ DAVID LAWRENCE. CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 7.—Al- t unanimous, without contest of “uy importance, the nomination of Calvin Coolidge to the presidency by ti+ Republican party is being taken for granted so much that there has been little inclination to inquire into the methods by which the man from chusetts has achieved the prize. urface it has scemed an ¥ campaign. But it has not been, any sense except financially, for is doubtful whether any campaign the presidency in the present eration has cost as little. cre were occasions when a single der might have cost Calvin Cnolidge the nomination. After talk- ing with some of the men who have lcen most instrumental in bringing about the triumph of Calvin Coolidge, the writer is convinced that almost the same kind of campaign with re- s to funds a now will be axed for tion of the Trexident Coolidge Executed Hi ~ding’s Plans. The strategy of the Coolidge cam- Piaign has been a recogniation of two findamentals from the very outset rst, that the personality of Calvin idge was unknown to the mass the people and even to the poli- and, second, that the politicians 1d fall in line it the right kind of les were enunciated by the Presi- Ihe effort to nominate Mr. Coolidge b i in the week that he succeeded i+ late Warren Harding to the pres- This does not mean that he a8 conscious of it or that he gave impulse or momentum.

He innounced that the personnel ap- yointed by Mr. Harding would be re- tained and that the policies of his ir would be followed out so s consistent with changing| circumstance. But he did something he sent to the Senate in De- « mber every one of the recess ap- rointments made by Mr. Harding and en carried out some of the informal made concerning appoint- by the late President. Slemp Appointment Valuable, This was evidence that Mr. Cool- fd<e was a faithful party man and buld not upset the organization— ' least not before the organization hiad an opportunity to demonstrate its worth in every state and to earn its rewards. Any one who understands practical politics cannot underesti- lazte the importance of these moves. Then came the appointment as pri- secretary of C.

It was tn> first time the son of a Confed- c¢rate soldier had sat in the chair of Hu private secretary in the White Suse. ut the appointment of Mr. Slemp W is valuable for reasons other than it sentimental effect on the leaders of the Republican party in the south. M= Slemp _himself had been in the llbuse of Representatives and knew its personnel and methods intimately. Mr. Coolidge knew the Senate, but dldn’t know the House. Also, Mr. Siemp knew more about how to get 1he delegates from the south than any Ian in the Republican party. As a mber of the Republican national committee trom Virginia, he knew the versonalities in the party, their strong PoInts and their weaknesses. Editorial Approval Has Helped. The business of getting delegates should not be misconstrued as purely e of political manipulation. Mr. olidge's nomination is not due to tee corraling of delegates as such. Miost of them were anxious to be cor- riled. It was due to the psycho- Irical process by which most of the liaders in the south became con- viiced that the lot lay with Cool- idge and no other. Mr. Slemp pre- vinted them from becoming the nucleus of anybody else's organization L til they were themselves won over. A4d it did not take them long to see at Mr. Coolidge was ready to show va 3 - to Congress deliv cred by Mr. Coolidge was a critical wuint in the preconvention campaign. Tp to that time Mr. Coolidge was un- Folding his personality in interviews ith Republican leaders and in brief statements to the press, but his pro- gram—indeed, his platform—was an- jouuced in the communication to , tersely written and straight point. The editorial approval followed that speech brought Coolidge more delegates than nything his friends did. The south ad come into line quickly.

SEE SENATOR AS NOMINEE Effort Will Be Made to Break South’s Jinx at Norfolk. By Consolidated Press. RICHMOND, Va, June 7.—Virginia, overwhelmingly Democratic, is tickled to death today. She is getting reaCy to carry Senator Carter Glass' poli- tical platform and Senator Carter Glass himself to the national con- vention at New York and believes she will oust the south's jinx. She thinks the convention will accept them both. Democratic party leaders in Vir- ginia expressed confidence today that the platform which will be adopt- ed by the Democratic national con- vention in New York city would be the one written at the state conven- tion in Norfolk by Senator Glass next Wednesday. Senator Glass, accord- ing to Democratic wiseacres here, will be chairman of the resolutions’ committee and will frame the state Democratic platform. Virginia's delegates to the national convention will present that platform to the na- tional body and they believe it will be received as Carter Glass' outline of policy was received as the back- bone of the Democratic platform at Skn Francisco in 1920. Glass Nomination Seen. These Jeffersonian wizards, who are hanging about state offices and hotels here today in preparation for next week's seances at Norfolk, further say that this platform, Carter Glass' own convictions politically, will make Carter Glass the Democratio nominee for President. In brief, that platform will call for: A firm attitude toward other gov- ernments; a place in the league of nations; enforcement of the dry law: a strict conservation policy, and re- ligious liberty a la Jefferson. Virginia's political chiefs will attend the Norfolk convention. Representa- tive A. J. Montague, representing the congressional _district which gave America Patrick Henry, William Henry Harrison and John Tyler will be there; and Representative Otis Bland of the district which furnished George Washington, James Monroe and George Wyethe: and Representa- tive R Walton Moore, mentioned as ginia’s next governor, from James Madison’s and Zachary Taylor's home district_and Representative Patrick Henry Drewry from the district where “John Randolph of Roanoke"” was born; and Representative Harry St George Tucker from that which gave the country Wilson: and Representa- tive Thomas W. Harrison from the district whence came the immortal Jefferson himself. And all will back Carter Glass' platform—and Carter Glass. Program Cut and Dried. So the program is cut and dried. The ten districts will have their dele- gates in Norfolk by 10 am. Wednes- day. There will be short district meetings when each district will set- tle on its delegates to New York, and will name members of various committees. The state convention will assemble then. Within a short time the resolutions committee will frame its outline of policies. Senator Carter Glass will present it. And though the junior senator from Vir- ginia still insists that he is_for Mec- Adoo, "Virginia convention will insist that it is for Glass to the last ditch. BRITISH PACT REFUSED. Irak Assembly Rejects Treaty Un- til Guaranties Given. BEIRUT, Syria, June 7.—A dispatch from Bagdad states that the Constit- uent Assembly of Irak has refused to ratify the Anglo-Irak treaty. The assembly demands that the British government give a written promise regarding the modification which Great Britain agreed to make in the treaty after its ratification. One of the main points of the agitators against ratification has been that the British failed to guarantee against surrender of the Vilayet of Mosul to Turkey. —_— the outset. west. In the first primary of importance —South Dakota’s proposal conference— the same state which had instructed for Calvin Coolidge in 1920, came forth with an indorsement. It was significant of Mr. Coolidge's strength in the west. This was on December 4. One can- not exaggerate the importance of that South Dakota primary. First of all, it contradicted the advice of those who had been urging Mr. Cool- idge to &tay out of primaries al- together and to make a passive cam- paign. Secondly, it led to indorse- ments in the primaries of neighbor- ing states.

Committee Should Have as Goal Equal Member- ship in House, Senate and W hite House. By a Staft Correxpondent CLEVELAND, Ohio, June f7.—If there is to be a woman member of the Republican national committee for every man on that committee, as proposed by the women, why should there not be a woman member of Congress for every district along with the male member? Why should there not be a woman President in addi- tion to the man President? This is the problem which T. Cole- man du Pont, Republican national committeeman from Delaware and former senator, intends to put up to the committee on rules of the national convention when that body begins to wrestle with the proposal advanced by the women. Senator du Pont is oposed to adding a woman to the national committee for every man member. He intends to fight it to the limit and he will have support from other mem- hers of the national committee, alfnough William M. Butler of Massa- husetts, the Coolidge campaign man- ager and prospective chairman of the national committee, favors the woman in this matter. Sees Madam President. Let a state be represented by either i« man or woman, as It sees fit, on the national committee, said Senator du Pont today, or else be consistent and provide for a madam President of the United States to occupy the White House along with the Presi- dent. Followed to its ultimate con- clugion this suggestion of the na- tional committeeman from Delaware is filled with dynamite. What, for example, would the wife of the Pres- ident have to say if she had to share her husband, in_an executive way, with the madam President? The women are preparing for a real struggle over this matter of equal representation on the national com- mittee. They point out that the Democratic party has already ac- corded women this privilege. Among the older members of the national committee there is a feel- ing that it would be unwise to allow the women voting full representation. It might, they fear, upset the control of the committee by the men. Joe Kealing of Indiana, it is said will support Senator du Pont in this mat- ter. Said Senator du Pont today: “I have, as every one knows, been an advocate and am still an advocate of equal rights for women, but I have never been nor am I now in favor of special privileges for wom- en, which, it seems to me, they are asking for in wanting to go on the national committee. Would Let Merit Count, “I am entirely willilng that the whole national committee shall be made up of women if these women are better qualified and better able to run the affairs of the party than the men are. That some women are today better fitted than some men to be on the national committe I think is probably true, and if a state has a woman who is better qualified to fill the position than a man in that state, I would strongly urge her selection as a member of the national commit- tee. “If a man and a woman are put on the committee you have a dual au- thority, and with dual authority, dual responsibility. Dual responsibility means frequently no responsibility. It is not good business, it is not practical, it is not sound. “If it is wise that a man and a ‘woman be on the national committee, a woman by reason of special privi- lege, then it should follow that every district in Congress should be rep- resented by a man and a woman and every state should have two man and two woman senators, and there should be a man and a woman Vice President and a man and a woman President. “If a man be chosen on the national committee, he should appoint a woman assoclate, and, vice versa, if a woman be cFwen, she should ap- THE EVENING STAR WASHINGTON, D.

By the Associated Press. JACKSONVILLE. Fla. June Florida's twelve delegates to the na- tional Democratic convention defi- nitely have been placed in the Mc- Adoo column over Senator Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama by a two-to- one vote. Returns tabulated in the presidential preference race gave Mc- Adoo more than 50,000 votes to slight- 1y more than 25,000 for Underwood. The election of William Jennings Bryan as delegate at large generally was conceded. There were sixteen candidates for delegates at large With four to be elected. The names of the other delegates probably will not be known until the official tabulation is made. Mr. Bryan early in the McAdoo-Un- derwood campaign aligned himself with supporters of McAdoo and spoke in his behalf during his own cam- paign, The Florida delegation is re- quired to support the state’s choice in the preferential primary. Interest in the state centered in the gubernatorial race, with John W. Martin, three times mayor of Jack- sonville, leading his nearest oppo- nent, Sidney J. Catts, former gov- ernor, by approximately 13,000 votes. e GUNFIRE BREAKS PIPES. Concussion Damages Mains 25 Miles From Camp Knox.

The progress of the American negro is one of the marvels of modern his- tory, President Coolidge declared yester- day in a commencement address de- livered at Howard University. While the President complimented the race as a whole, he reminded his hearers that they have a special responsibili- ty. and it is incumbent upon them to | help their people to maintain the truest standards of character and un- selfish_purpose. In this connection President Cool- idge told his auditors that “the negro community of America has already S0 far progressed that its members can be assured that their future is in their own hands. Racial hostility, ancient tradition and social prejudice | are not to be eliminated immediately or easily. But they will be lessened as the colored pecple by their own efforts and under their own leaders shall prove worthy of the fullest measure of opportunity.” The President pointed out how the colored race had grown in numbers and in prominence, and furnished fig- ures to show how members of the race had progressed in business and agriculture and in various other fields of usefulness. He praised the colored man and woman for their devotion to the high ideals of the country, and in conclusion declared “We cannot go out from this place and oceasion with- out ferreshment of faith and re- newal of confidence that in every exigency our negro fellow citizens will render the best and fullest meas- ure of service whereof they are capa- e There was frequent applause as the President delivered his address, which consumed more than twenty minutes, Cheering, handclapping and the wav- ing of handkerchiefs and flags greet- ed the presidential party as it ar- rived upon the little platform in the center of the shaded portion of the campus where the exercises were held. With the President were Mrs, Coolidge, C. Bascom Slemp, his sec- retary, and his military and naval aides. Hubert Work, Secretary of the Interior, which department super- vises the university, and Col. Theo- dore Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, occupied seats on the plat- form and made brief addresses, the latter awarding the commissions to infantry officers, Reserve Corps, class of 1924, The President sat next to Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, president of the uni- versity, and during the interval be- tween the time of his arrival and the commencement of his address he asked a number of questions regard- ing the personnel and operation of the institution. It was plainly evi- dent that he was Impressed and in- terested. This was made more evi- dent from the earnest and serious manner he uttered certain portions of his message. Secretary Works Speaks. Secretary Work, under whose de- partment comes the university, told the graduates that “more important than the kind of ancestors he has is the kind of ancestors you are going to be.” He pointed out that there are students in the university from every state of the Union, and from twelve foreign countries. President Durkee presided and Rev. Henry W. O. Millington, executive secretary of the Association of Bap- tist Churches, gave the invocation, and Rev. Sterling N. Brown the bene- diction. The text of the President’s address follows in full: “Mr. Durkee, members of the fac- ulty, the student body and graduating class of Howard University: “It has come to be a legend, and I believe with more foundation of fact than most legends, that Howard Uni- versity was the outgrowth of the in- spiration of a prayer meeting. I hope it is true, and I shall choose to be- lieve it, for it makes of this scene and this occasion & new testimony that prayers are answered. Here has been established a great university, a sort of educational laboratory for the production of intellectual and spirit- ual leadership among a people whose history, if you will examine it as it deserves, is one of the striking evi- dences of a soundness of our civiliza- tion. “The accomplishments of the colored people in the United States, in the brief historic period since they were brought here from the restrictions of their native continent, cannot but make us realize that there is some- thing essential in our civilization which gives it a special power. I think we shall be able to agree that that particular element is the Chris- tian religion, whose influence has al- ways and everywhere been a force for the illumination and advancement of the peoples who have come under its sway. Progress of Race a Marvel. “The progress of the colored peo- ple on this continent is one of the marvels of modern history. We are perhaps even yet too near to this phenomenon to be able fully to ap- preciate its significance. That can be impressed on us only as we study and contrast the rapid advancement of the colored people in America with the slow and painful upward move- ment of humanity as a whole through- out the long human story. ““An occasion such as this which has brought us here cannot but direct our consideration to these things. It has been a painful and difficult ex- perience, this by which another race has been recruited to the standard of civilization and enlightenment. For that is really what has been going on, and the episodes of negro slavery in America, of civil war and emanci- pation and, following that, the rapid advancement of the American colored people, both materially and spirit- ually, must be recognized as parts of a long evolution by which all man- kind is gradually being led to higher levels, expanding its understanding of its mission here, approaching nearer and nearer to the realization of its full and perfected destiny. Cites Race’s Destiny. “In such a view of the history of the negro race in America we may find the evidences that.the black man's probation on this continent was a necessary part in a great plan by which the race was to be saved to the world for a service Which we are now able to vision, and, even if yet somewhat dimly, to appreciate. The destiny of the great African continent, to be added at length—and in a future not now far beyond us—to the relms of the highest civilization, has become ap- parent within a very few decades. But for the strange and long inscrutable purpose which in the ordering of human affairs subjected a part of the black race to the ordeal of slavery, that race might have been assigned to the tragic fate which has befallen many aboriginal peoples when brought into conflict with more advanced com- munities. Instead, we are able now to be confident that this race is to be preserved for a great and useful work. If some of its members have suffered, if some have been denied, if some have been sacrificed, we are able at last to realize that their sacrifices were borne in a great cause. They gave vicarious- 1y, that a vastly greater number might be preserved and benefited through them. The salvation of a race, the destiny of a continent, were bought at the price of these sacrifices, “Howard University is but one of the many institutions which have grown up in this country dedicated to this purpose of preserving one of the races of men and fitting it for its largest usefulness.

They are capable of redeeming vast luxuriant areas of unexampled productivity, and of reclaiming them for the sustenance of mankind and the increasing security of the human community. It is a great destiny, to which we may now look for- ward with confidence ttat it will be fully realized. “Lcoking back only a few years we appreciate how rapid has been the prog- ress of the colored weople on this con- tinent. Bmancipation brought them the opportunity of which they have avalled themselves, It has been calculated that in the first year following the acceptance of their status as a free people there were approximately 4,000,000 members of the race in this country, and that among these only 12,000 were the owners of their homes; only 20,000 among them conducted their own farms, and the ag- gregate wealth of these 4,000,000 peopie hardly exceeded $20,000,000. 'In a little over a half century since the number of business enterprises operated by coi- ored people has grown to near 50,000, while the wealth of the negro commu- nity has grown to more than $1,100,000, 000. And these figures convey a most inadequate suggestion of the material progress. The 2,000 businees enterprises which were in the hands of colored peo- ple immediately following emancipa- tion were almost without exception small and rucimentary. Among the 50,000 business operations now in the hands of colored people may be fouad every type of present-day affairs. “There are more than seventy banks conducted by thoroughly competent colored business men. More than 80 per cent of all American negroes are now able to read and white; when they achieved their freedom mot 10 per cent were literate. There are nearly 2,000,000 negro pupils in the public schools; wellnigh 40,000 ne- gro teachers are listed, more than 3,000 following their profession in normal schools and colleges. The list of educational institutions devoting themselves to the race includes fifty colleges, thirteen colleges for women, twenty-six theological schools, a standard school of law and two high- grade _institutions of medicine Through the work of these institu- tions the negro race is equipping men and women from its own ranks to provide its leadership in business, the professions, in all relations of lite. “This, of course, is the special field of usefulness for colored men and women, who find the opportunity to get adequate education. Their own people need their heip, guidance, leadership and inspiration. Those of you who are fortunate enough to equip yourselves for these tasks have a special responsibility to make the best use of great opportunities. In a very special way it is incumbent upon those who are prepared to help their people. to maintain the truest standards of character and unselfish purpose. The negro community of America has already 8o far pro- Bressed that its members can be as- sured that their future is in their own hands. Racial hostility, ancient tradition and social prejudice are not to be eliminated immediately or easily. But they will be lessened as the colored people by their own ef- forts and under their own leaders shall prove worthy of the fullest measure of opportunity. Lands War Service. “The nation has need of all that can be contributed to it through the best efforts of all its citizens. The colored people have repeatedly proved | | their devotion to the high ideals of | our country. They gave their serv- ices in the war with the same patriot- ism and readiness that other citizens did. The records of the selective draft show that somewhat more than 2.250,000 colored men were registered. The ‘records further prove that, far from seeking to avoid participation in the national defense, they showed that they wished to enlist, before the selective service act was nut into operation, and they dia not attempt to evade that act afterward. The propaganda of prejudice and hatred which sought to keep the colored men from supporting the national cause completely failed. The black man showed himself the same kind of a citizen, moved by the same kind of patriotism, as the white man. They were tempted but not one betraved his country. Among well-nigh 400,- 000 colored men who were taken into the military service, about one-half had overseas experience. They came home with many decorations, and their conduct repeatedly won high commendation from both American and European commanders. “The armies in the field could not have done their part in the war if they had not been sustained and sup- ported by the far great civilian forces at home, which through unremitting toil made it possible to sustain our war effort. No part of the commu- nity responded more willingly, more generously, more unqualifiedly 'to the demand for special extraordinary ex- ertion, than did the members of the negro race. Whether in the military service or in the vast mobilization of industrial resources which the war required, the negro did his part pre- cisely as did the white man. He drew no color line when_ patriotism made its call upon him. He gave precisely as his white fellow citizens gave to the limit of resources and abilities to help the general cause. Thus the American negro established his right to the gratitude and appreciation Zhich) the nation has been glad to ac- cord. TUrges Devotion to Tasks. “We are not all permitted the privi- lege of a university training. We cannot all enter the professions. What is the great need of American citizenship? To my mind it is this, that each should take up the burden where he is. ‘Do the day's work.' I have said, and it should be done in the remembrance that all work is dignified. Your race is entitled to great praise for the contribution it makes in doing the work of the world. “There will be other crises in the national history which will make other demands for the fullest and most unselfish contribution to the na- tional interest. No generation will be denied its opportunity, will be spared its duty, to put forth its best efforts. We devoutly hope that these contributions will not be demanded upon the field of battle. But they will be just as truly needed, just as urgently summoned, in the activities of peace, the efforts of industry, the performance of all the obligations of citizenship. We cannot go out from this place and occasion without re- freshment of faith and renewal of confidence that in every exigency our negro fellow citizens will render the best and fullest measure of service whereof they are capable.” Degrees were awarded as follows: School of Liberal Arts.

CAR STRIKE TIE-UP THREATENS CLEVELAND Convention Day Set by 2,300 Mo- tormen and Conductors to Press Demands. Tniversity Scholars. Julia Bailey, Bur om- By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 7.—With the Republican national convention only two days away, Cleveland today is facing a street-car tie-up. The 2,300 motormen and conductors of the Cleveland Railway Company voted almost unanimously last might to strike at midnight Tuesday, the da the convention opens, unless the com pany grants a 12-cent-an-hour wage increase awarded by an arbitration board Tuesday. Few of the delegates to the con- vention will be affected, as most of them are quarterd in downtown hotels, with taxicabs retained for their use. Thousands of other visitors will be inconvenienced, however, not- withstanding hundreds of busses and other vehicles available for them, by tremendous congestion and lack of rarking space. Mayor Clavton C. Townes continued efforts to bring about a settlement through mediation today. His sug- gestion yesterday that City Manager William R. Hopkins be named con- iliator accepted by the union but rejected by the company. There is also a possibility that interna- tional officers may intervene. The trouble has been brewing since last week, when, charging that James W. Holcomb was indorsed by union labor for collector of customs here the company demanded that he with draw as fifth member of the arbitra- tion board. Upon his refusal, the company withdrew its representa- tives, the award being made by the two union arbiters and Mr. Holcomb.
