President Coolidge has won his long imme with Congress. On every out- | standing measure his leadership is | sustained and on the principal recom- | mendation of his whole administta- tion—~namely, that the tax reduction | shall be approximately $222,000,000— | Congress has followed his .advice. ‘ The fact that Con, has not suffi- clent votes to override a veto on the Muscle Shoals bill, that there has been an acceptance of his views on flood | relief and that insurgent Republicans | joined with regular Republicans in put- | ting the tax bill through the Senate | 1s more gratifying to the President than | any experience he has had with Con- gress thus far. Constant Strife Maintained. | _For the record of Mr. Coolidge with | Charles J.

On the McNary-Haugen farm bill the President’s veto was sustained and he‘ was pleased to learn that Senator Cur- tis, among others, voted to uphold the measure. Senator Curtis. incidentally, is quarters as a compromise candidate in the event that the Lowden-Dawes forces block the Hoover nomination and the President definitely states his unwil- lingness to accept a nomination Wind-Up Proving Satisfactory.
