Senator Gillett said in his state- ment: “I presume every other Republican in Massachuseits feels as 1 do, that we should prefer President Coolidge to any- body else. Except for his own refusal he would undoubtedly have been the candidate. But when he first issued his statement I believed he was per-! fectly sincere and would not consent to run, and his whole subsequent con- duct has confirmed me in that opinion, and so I have felt that those who were looked upon as his particular friends. especially those in Massachu- setts, ought to take him at his word and seek other candidates, for if his intimate friends still pushed his candi- dacy 1t would give countenance to the argument of those unfriendly cynics who assert that his refusal was a mere gesture made simply to enhance his own_popularity. “Under those conditions I stated at| once that President Coolidge being out | | | of the field, Mr. Hughes was my first | cholce and Mr. Hoover my second. Now | Hughes has withdrawn and Hoover is my choice. “Above any one elsc he represents ( the Coolidge policies, having worked | sympathetically with him in the cab- inet for six vears: he has marvelous evecutive ability. as he has proved throughout his whole life in the most varied activities: he exhibits more knowledge of our Government and of all | its needs and possibilities than any man 1 know: he has the gift of infecting his subordinates with his own energy | and inciting in them the most stren- ' uous lovalty; he fs of unblemished char- acter, and. in my opinion, is extraordi- narily equipped to make a great Presi- dent.

By the Associated 't A decision will be reached tomorrow as the action to be taken by the Sen- ate interstate commerce committee on the Walsh resolution advocating a na- tion-wide congressional investigation of the public utilities_industry. - Senator Walsh, Democrat, anthor of the resolution, characterized the storm of Montana, vesterday criticism | that it has aroused as “a lobby of such magnitude as I believe has never be- fore been seen in Washington.” He limit the scope of the inquiry, but urg- ed authorization of the investigation on the ground that State supervision of operating companies is powerless to control the centralization of the indus- try which he contends threatens to wipe out local enterprise. William L. Ransom of the joint com- mittee of the National Utility Associ- ations, at a hearing yesterday before | the committee, argued that no case has | | been made justifying any investigation whatsoever: that Senator Walsh's accu- sations of overcapitalization in the in- dustry were unjustified, and that even if the sale and transportation of bonds between States were subject to Federal investigation the business of these com- panies issuing or buying the bonds is not The Walsh resolution has been op- posed throughout the hearing on the | ground that purely intrastate business is under munictpal and State control and the legisiative power of Congress extends only to interstate business “Senator Walsh himself has conceded that the power to investigate is lim- ited by the power to legislate,” said Ransom. Senator Walsh. conceding that there were some advantages in the big inter- state holding companies. said there were many more disadvantages. He cited the tremendous rises in the stocks of big gas and electric companies as evi- dence of the nced for control.

In marrying the Hoovers as two none | Catholics, they said. a priest would |simply be exercising the authority con- ferred on him by the State, in common | with the ministers of all other religisns, |to perform legally vaiid marriages. It was pointed out by the Roman | Catholic authorities that priests who |are chaplains In the Army or Nav {often perform marriages for non- Catholic soldiers or sailors, officiating ‘in their broad capacity as chaplains rather than in their denominational character as priests Such a marriage. it was explained, would be a civil ceremony rather than a Roman Catholic sacrament Mrs. Hoover bhecame a member of her husband’s church and their chii- dren have been brought up in the same faith.
