CODLIDGE COOLEST AS FICHT CLOSES No Hysteria or Upheaval at White House as Election Draws Near. BY ROBERT T. SMALL. The man in Washington apparently the least concerned in next Tuesday's election is the man most concerned in ft. If ever there was any doubt about President Coolidge's ability to “keep cool” the campaign just closing has dis- sipated it Those who have pictured the White House as a sort of madhouse in these last days of.the big quadrennial up- heaval e shot far wide of the mark. A Midsummer calm has prevailed. There has been only the faintest sugs of politics now and then, the President having consented to receive small dele- gations of longshoremen, actors and Tepresentatives of national advertising | ¥ agencies i White House attaches cannot recall when it was the President last con- ferred with Chairman Butler of the Re- publican national committee. No man prominent nationally in the campaign has been at the Executive Mansion in a coon's age.

He has left the Impression that he had not sought any such information. Shilingly he has remarked that he had confidential reports to the effect that he most certainly would carry Northampton, Mass., but éther than thut he had not gone into campaign details. He has been content to leave the direction of the fight entirely in the hands of his friends and his sup- porters in the grand old party. Excitement Centers Here. It was assumed early in .the campaign that with President Cool- idge remaining in Washington wmuch of the Republican campaign excite- ment would center here. That has not been the case at all. There has been no whirl of politics about the White House. There have been no cxtended political conferences there. Chairman Butler evidently has felt that he had Mr. Coolidge's all-inclu- sive power of attorney and has pro- ceeded accordingly, consulting his chief from time to time only in an informal and informative manner, re- porting what had been done in his name and in his interest, nce or twice in recefvin ga- flons at the executive offices prest ‘THE EVENING ST dent Coolidge has referred to ‘‘my campaign,” but it has been less of campaign perhaps than ever wa. made by any aspirant for presidential honors. It the President is elected next Tuesday he will be mdre firmly com- mitted to the policy of- silence than ever before in his unloquacious life.
