Thirty-five “coasted” into the intersection, & majority coming to a virtual stop. The other 11 proceeded across at only a slightly diminished speed, several narrowly averting se- rious crashes with motorists ‘who clearly had the right of way and were proceeding on the assumption that it would be granted. During the hour of heaviest travel on Massachusetts avenue, conditions were slightly better. This patently is due to the fact that the pure weight of the traffic forces vehicles on Florida avenue to stop and wait an opening to cross. At other important thorough- fares this condition was found to pre- vail in equal measure, but ‘“cutting in” at all times is a grave menace. In connection with the investiga- tion, it was interesting to note that although all policemen in the city, even footmen, are charged With responsibility for checking violations of this part of the traffic code, there was apparent a disposition to let the motorist work the matter out for him- self. In several instances, policemen standing on corners where the viola- tions occurred made no effort to halt the man who flouted the law. Some of these constituted flagrant violations. * N A new fruit, the cucumber-apple, has appeared. It is particularly adapted for salads.

LEADERS (Continued_from First Page) statement made by Dr. Nicholas Mur- ay Butler, made clear the status of a Vice President succeeding to the Presides he ‘third term’ fssue is not seriously in the minds of the peo- ple who are content with the Govern- ment ‘as is,’ and the opposition will make no headway in attempting to change their minds. The Republican party ‘must stand on the record of the Coolidge administration of four years, and unless the President declines to permit his name to go before the con- vention other candidates will not be seriously considered. J. W. Darlin toon showing the President on a ety zone in the center of a street waiting for the car named ‘Nomina tion’ to pick him up while other can- didates were lined up on the sidewalk without a chance of getting on e presses the situation Thomas E. Campbell, member for Arizona, expresses the opinion that the people of Arizona do not serious ly consider that another term of of fice for President Coolidge would con stitute a third term, and that the “third term! issue would mot consti tute a serious obstacle to the renomi- naion and re-election of President Coolidge. He adds, however, “although his opponents, of which there will be one or more, would without much doubt lay stress upon the same.” Mr. Campbell that he considers the President the logical candidate of the party in 1928, Cites People’s Confldence. , Mrs. the John Lone Antonio, Tex . member for writes: In my cannot well be called a candidate for third term of office, inasmuch as he was following the Constitution of the United States and served the unex- pired term of his predecessor, Warren . Harding. As President of the United States Mr, Coolidge has given to the people confidence in his ability to serve because he has shown his in- terest in their welfare and has proven his statesmanship at all times, forget- ting himself for the good of the whole Nation. Therefore, he is the logical andidate for President in 1928. Mr. Coolidge at all times has shown him- self a statesman and not a politician, the difference being that a statesman looks after the next generation and the politician after the next election.” Both the Republican national com- mitteewoman and committeeman from ‘Alabama, Mrs. Birdie Hooper Kenna- men and Oliver D. Street, respectively, insist that President Coolidge is the logical candidate of the party next year. Mrs, Kennamen says that his enemies would call another term a “third term,” but that his friends would call it a second term. Mr. Street says; “I do mot think the so- called ‘third term’ issue would be a serious obstacle either to his nomina- tion or election. That it would be a slight handicap is undeniable.” Edward F. Colladay, member of the committee for the District of Co- lumbia, expresses the opinion that President Coolidge is the Togical candi- date of the party next year and that the “third term” issue will not be a serious obstacle to his re-election. In- deed, Mr. Colladay insists that an- other term for Président Coolidge can- not be considered a “third term.” In this connection, he says: Inaugurated Only Once. “By virtue of his incumbency of the office of Vice President, when Presi- dent Harding died August 2, 1923, the Constitution (article II, section I) automatically devolved the powers and duties of Presidert upon Mr. Coolidge; and for the last 19 months DIVIDED PAYMENT 4 ACCOUNT PRIVILEGES AVAILABLE | be a opinion President Coolidge | D. ¢, THURSDAY, APRIL 14, of President Harding's term Mr. Coolidge exercised those powers and duties to which Mr. Harding had been elected. On March 4, 1925, Mr. Cool- idge was, by virtue of election by the people in the preceding November, for the first time inaugurated Presi- dent of the United States, and is now serving as such.” Mrs. Mary Booze, member for Mississippi, that she is “planning to join others in urging his nomina- tion and re-election,” after declaring that President Coolidge is the logical candidate.of the party in 1928. Perry W. Howard, also a member for Missis- sippi, replies that the President is the logical candidate of the party and that the third term issue does not exist in his case and will not be a serious obstacle to_his_re-election. William H. Crocker, Republican na- tional committeeman for California, ind James IZ. Davidson, member for Michigan, both replied categorically that another term for President Cool- idge would not constitute a third term as the phri generally understood; that the third term issue would not serious obstacle to the nomina- tion and re-election of President Cool- idge, and that President Coolidge is the logical candidate of the party for President ney g Expects Easy Election. Virgil L. Highland, member for West Virginia, writes that President Cool- idge is the logical candidate of the party “and if nominated will be the easlest man to elect.” George W. Bean, member for Flor- ida, says that President Coolldge has every right to offer for a second elec- tive term, that the third term issue would nof be a serious obstacle, and that it President Coolidge is renomi- nated ‘“he will be re-clected by the greatest popular vote ever given a candldate for President.” From Roanoke, Va, Mrs. M. M. Caldwell, member for that State, writes another term for President Coolidge would constitute only second term. She says “she hardly think the third term issue would be a serious obstacle to his adds: “Naturally political opponents { would do their utmost to confuse the public mind and make it appear that Mr. Coolidge was seeking a third term. There might be those in the conven- tion who would be afraid it would be magnified into an obstacle to Mr. Coolidge's re-election. But were he nominated by a united party I do not believe it would mitigate to any extent against his re-election.” Mrs. Caldwell says that “if having made good his pledges and kept his party in line with safe legislation and sound Republican principles; if having won the confidence of all the people in his integrity and his patriotism make Mr. Coolidge the logical candidate of the Republican party, when your ques- tion is ful wered.” NANKING MENACED AS NORTHERN ARMY BATTLES CANTONESE (Continued from First Page.)
