Practically all of the male citizens have for weeks been letting their whiskers grow and today are wearing costumes sugges- tive of the early citizenry. Real color is added by the presence of Deadwood Dick, whose name has been made famous through the dime novel and motion picture thriller and who still is a resident of the guich city: Capt. Lute North, Commissioner Russell and other noted characters, relics of the past. It is estimated that more than 10,000 persons have come to Dead- wood to see the celebration. From every section of the West old timers &nd frontiersmen have come, either to participate or to look on. The President and Mrs. Coolidge, who are coming here by train from Custer, are not expected to arrive be- fore 1:30 p.m. A tremendous recep- tion has been arranged in their honor when they step from their train, after which they will be escorted through the town by a large commit- tee of local citizens.

WASHINGTON, D. LOWDEN RETURNS FROM SUMMER HOME Trip to Chicago Believed for Pur- pose of Conferring With Sup- porters of Boom. By the Associated Press. ALEXANDRIA BAY, N. Y., August 4.—Frank O. Lowden, former Gover- nor of Illinois and prominently men- tioned for the Republican presidential nomination in 1928, left his Summer home here for Chicago yesterday. Be- fore departing by automobile for Utica, where he took an evening train, Mr. Lowden said he would return in a few days. Shortly after President Coolidge fs- sued his statement Tuesday that he did not choose to run for President in 1928 Mr: Lowden received a long-dis- tance telephone call from Chicago. It was believed here that his trip might be for the purpose of conferring with the party leaders who have supported his boom for the presidential nomi- nation. PRESIDENT “FED UP,” IS OPINION IN LONDON By the Associated Press. LONDON, August 4.—That Presi- dent Coolidge alone knows the answer to the enigma he set before the world is the fairly general conclusion ex- pressed in the editorials of this morn- ing's newspapers. They indulge in numerous surmises, however, as to the inner significance of the Presi- dent's announcement that he does not choose to be a candidate in next year's elections. One of the most favored speculations is that the President likely found the burden so onerous that he calmly Jjudged the further strain on his physi- cal powers was too great. “President Coolidge,” says the Daily News, “may be fed up, as Premier Baldwin, a man very like him, is notorfously fed up.” Cooling—Refreshing For the most delicious iced tea—with lemon or mint, BOLANG TEA HIGHEST QUALITY—DELICATE FLAVOR Goifig !

Had he said: “I will not run for President in 1928, he would have presumed, it is held, that the Republican convention would nominate him. Closed Door to Delegates. 1t is argued further at the Summer White House that it Mr. Coolidge had said: “I will not be a candidate for the Republican nomination in 1928" the same controversy would have arlsen with the beliet that the Presi- dent was merely declaring himself not a candidate, but not that he would de- cline the nominatlon if forced upon him.
