WNARY'S STATE FIRM FOR COOLIDGE President’s Veto of Farm Relief Bill Fails to | Sway Oregon. BY ROBERT T. SMALL. £oecial Dis h to The Star. PORTLAND, Oreg., April 2.—Any idea the East may have gained that| I'vesident Coolidge has weakened him- <cIf with the farmers of his own party | 1y his veto of the McNary-Haugen so- called farm relief bill, would seem to i all wrong, if the experience of an « bserver in the home State of Senator .icNary may be given due weight and ~onsideration. : You are frankly told in Oregon that it President Coolidge’s name is entered in the presidential primaries next Soring, his victory will be overwhelm i1g. You even hear the intimation that Semator McNary himself will be ranged alongside the President before voting day arrives. Wherever you go in the West, you find it taken for granted among Re- publicans that Mr. Coolidge will run azain in 1928 and that he can have e nomination of his party merely for the asking. The Republicans of ihe Far West tell you that his veto of the McNary-Haugen bill did not create a ripple on the political surface. Coolidge Always First. rybody expected the President 1o veto the measure. If he had signed t, there would have been a res - jrise. But it is impossible anywhere w find a weakening in the Coolidge lines, and even the agricultural advo- cates of former Gov. Lowden of Illi- nois say that he has n@ chance for the presidential nomination unless 2nd until Mr. Coolidge declines to run This is not to deny the fact that Gov. Lowden has much strength in party. But that strength always is predicated on an “if"—if President Coolidge does not desire another term 1 is easy to find the Lowden senti- ment permeating as far a¢ Hawali, out in the mid-Pacific. Of course, Hawaii cannot vote for a President any more than can the Dis- trict of Columbia or the Territory of \laska, but Hawaii talks and thinks olitics in terms of the American malnland, and it seems a shame that such an intelligent section of Ameri- can public opinion should be denied the right of self-expression. Oregon Republicans have not wavered one instant in their support of President Coolidge. They are loyal enough to Senator McNary, but they had no thought that his agricultural ideas ever would be accepted by the chiet Executive of the Nation. The mere fact that the President vetoed the bill bearing the name and spon- sorship of Oregon's senior Senator has affected his popularity not one whit. True in Other Coast States. ‘Whether or not this same sentiment holds good in the Midwestern country the writer cannot say, but on the Pa- cific Coast and in the mountain States it certainly is true. There was some talk in the West that President Cool- idge must have made up his mind not 1o run again else he would have hesi- tated to veto the modified farm bill, but even this theory has fallen down since the adjournment of Congress. The whole truth is that no one in the Republican party dares to raise a volce against President Coolidge. Senator Borah of Idaho, who not approve of many of the Cool- idge and Kellogg international policies, can assert no great weight in his own l‘r:'w{mmn State against the Presi- ent Seldom, if ever, has one man had such a control over the grand old Re: publican party as Mr. Coolidge has to- day. Not that he has the great per- sonal favor of the professional poli- ticians. He hasn’t. But these poli- ticians, sensing the satisfaction of their party with conditions as they are, can only talk of men and issues “if” Mr. Coolidge decides to step aside. Perhaps President Roosevelt, in 1908, was more completely in control of the G. O. P. than Mr. Coolidge is today, but Col. Roosevelt exercised his control with the “big stick,” while Mr. Coolidge maintains his control through a more or less mysterious silence which the politicians them- selves cannot fathom, and which they do not attempt to explain, Could Not Pick Successor. It is admitted evgerywhere, however, that Mr. Coolidge, if he desires to do %0, could not select. a successor in office. If he wants another term him- self, no issue will be raised, no ques- tions asked, but if he wanted to nomi- nate another man, he could not do so. In the first place, no one imagines the President ever would want to name his successor in office. His immediate interest in the chief magistracy is supposed to concern only himself. After all is said and done, the most important thing about the present political situation in the United States is the fact that the people are taking it for granted that President Coolidge will run again. They listen vainly at the talk of a “third term,” and the further suggestion that if Mr. Coolidge should run and win in 1928, there would be nothing to prevent his run- ning again in 1932, and once more in 1936, to say nothing of 1940, They say the President is etill a Yery young man, younger by more than 10 y;.'lars than some of those who @re mentioned for the presiden: against him. : o His Main Asset. There is undeniably a complacency through the country x\'hlchlnccepl)» President Coolidge as a condition rather than a theory It Is his main asset—the condition of the country and the condition of thought of the country. And, in any event, the important thing of the last few weeks is the fact that even in the home State of the principal au thor of the McNary-Haugen bill the veto of that measure has not affected the political fortunes of the vetoer— not in the slightest degree.
