Mere- dith, Secret: Agriculture, and William Gi McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury, in the Wilson adminis- tration, and other men who displayed prominent parts in political and offi cial life, who promenaded the rooms of the mansion and keld veritable re- ceptions that would have done credit to them under any circumstance. Senators were there in number, and ce President Coolidge announced his choice of not choosing to run, there were several guests who do not ¢ | enter similar objection, and something like an electric thrill went through the Blue Room when Senator Curtis and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth met and locked arms for a laughing confer- ence. The chairman of the Repub- lican national committee, former Sen- ator William M. Butler, was here, there and everywhere, but always sur- rounded by men of affairs. Senator Oddie of Nevada, Senator Frederick H. Gillett of Massachusetts and oth- ers were in conversation with Cam- eron Forbes, former Governor General of the Philippines, and Henry Long, both of Massachusetts and both over- night guests at the White House, while Frank W.
