2 £ —_— COOLIDGE HOPEFU OF 6..0.P. FUTURE Recent Senate Defeats Fail to Shake Confidence in Ultimate chcess. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WIiL President Coolidge will resume the helm at the White House within the next fortnight in a =pivit of calm confidence regarding the future of the Republican party which he lcads. He 1s not dismayed by what Democratic Isaders call the series of =uccessive “Coolidze rebuffs” which set in with the defeat of Semator McKinley for renominativn in April and has just ended with the defeat of Senator Len- root in Wisconsin The President has hecn kept in con- stant and personal touch with tie political situation throuzhent the country. He has heen in politics long enough to know how to diccount ever optimistic reports made by zealous subordinates for pleasure-giving D! poses. Mr. Coolidge has heen par ticula careful not to he misled by “eomforting” orte to him about conditions in the agricultural West. But, taking all things into con- gideration d weighing them care fully, the President has come to the conclusion that Republican party fortunes, or the whole are in good <hape. In spots he rvealizes thex might he better. Viewed in their en tirety. Mr. Coolidge sees no cause for either ansiety or alarm Cabinet Seouts in Fiela. Some of the \Western members of the Cabinet have bren guietly serving throughout the Summer as adminis- tration polit cal sconts On the oh mervations of one of them—-the mosi practical politician of the lot—the President is known fo place specia’ importance.
