COOLIDGE HALF WAY) " INELECTEDTERN Politicians Eagerly Apprais- | ing His Strength for 1928 " After Farm Bill Veto. + BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. ‘This week is notable in polit two events. It marks the e ‘of the Sixty-ninth Congress and wit- fiesses the ending of the first half of iCalvin Coolidge’s _elected . term as President of the United States. Poli- ticians find it too early to estimate Becurately the effect of Mr. Coolidge’s McNary-Haugen veto upon his presi- dential future. That it insures him formidable opposition for renomina- tion in the next Republican national convention is admitted on all hands. But there are decidedly diverse opin- fons as to the ultimate influence of the President's agricultural policy upon his political fortunes. i2The Coolidge opposition is building fts hopes on the belief that the Presi- _dent—if a candidate—cannot be re- ‘nominated on the first ballot. It is ‘calculated, in other words, that the Lowden or Dawes corn-belt delega- tions from 11 or more Midwestern ‘and Northwestern States, plus other ‘“favorite son” votes from _other *States, will aggregate more than a “majority of the 900 odd votes in the ‘convention. If the Coolidge totai “thus falls short of a majority on the first roll call, the combined opposition figures that the convention thence- forward will be a free-for-all. Democrats’ Hopes Raised. If the President should emerge the _victor of a convention contest. leaving the Lowden-Pawes farm forces van- ‘quished, it is the present expectation _of Democratic leaders that a rift vould be caused in the G. O. P. com- rable to a Smith-McAdoo feud in itheir party. Some Democratic au- “thorities assert that Republican man- ,mgers, including probably Coolidge Zchieftains, must be so aware of’ the dangers in such a contingency that they would not let it arrive. They would, in other words, according to Pemocratic reasoning, “scrap Cool- 7idge” and nominate a Republican less likely to split the party strength. /- Another- angle providing food for “consideration is the President’s appeal /to the farmers over the heads of ZAheir alleged spokesmen. There was “mo more significant passage in the McNary-Haugen véto message than Ir. Coolidge’s reference to the fact that the White House was inundated 1ves, as distinguished from their so- Ycalled leaders at Washington, dis- fpproved ot bz:;e surplus bill. ¢ s now being seriously suggested “that the Lowden-McNary Haugenites 7may not find it so easy as they think At will be when they actually begin 1o till the political sofl in an anti- ~Coolidge sense. The President believes /that “down among the grass roots"” of the farming country the people are m;r; him 1:: not with the men who ; essayed to speak for them i - Washington_this Winter. 7 Coolidge Still Strong. . .

But, for all that, congressional leaders are ready to acknowledge that Calvin 7 Coolldge is unquestionably stronger # with the country at large than Con- 7 gress is.

Encroachments of settlers on the forage areas have cut the elk off from the public domain, it was brought out, and they may be preserved only if food is supplied. The commissioh, which was named . 18, 0.

Baker was the principal speaker at ceremonies commemorating the 100th anniversary of the granting by the Maryland Legislature of the Balti- more and Ohio charter. Mr. Baker recalled struggles through which raflroads of this country have passed, and cited efforts of States toward railroad regulation, leading finally the creation of the Inter- state mmerce Commission. If this regulation finally is to succeed, he declared, the weaker roads must be absorbed, so that feeders may be maintained and the service on which the vast rural sections of the country depend may continue. During his address Mr. Baker, in contrast with the 250,000 miles of raliroad in the country with capi- talization in excess of $21,000,000,000, recalled the race between Tom Thumb, the first steam locomotive built in America, and also the first locomotive. to be used by the Baltimore & Ohio, and a horse.
