RUSSELL YOUNG. | Now that President Coolidge ha: broken his silence by appealing for the | clection of Hoover and Curtis in a | message to the Republican State con- | vention meeting yesterday in Boston. | | Republican leaders here are now won- speaking, but as yet no definite prom- |ise has been given by Mr. Coolidia | In response to such urgings and re- quests he has merely indicated that h. will render assistance. It is learned |said directly that he would make a | campaign specch. | Although he has not said so dircetly there is no question about the impres- sion he has conveyed to some of those with whom he has discussed campaign matters, Herbert Hoover being among the number, that he might make one or two spoeches before the time for voting arrives. Despite this reticence | on his part it is generally assumed by idge the leaders are counting heavily on | his participation in the campaign to once or_twice. : Mr. Coolidge has evinced a certain reluctance when the matter of his speaking in the campaign has been | brought up. He has made it quite plain | that_he would rather not inject him- self into the campaign, at least to any noticeable extent. principally because of the question of lowering the dignity of the office of President. There are those among his intimates who are not at all convinced that he will make a speech. But these are in the minority among those with whom the President has discussed the subject. While the latter have been given no positive promises, they contend that they have sufficient_assurance from him to look for something. His message to the Massachusetts State convention yesterday was looked | for with much expectation. It was pointed out that while the| President expressed himself briefly and | mildly, he indirectly answered the | charges of the opposition party to the effect that the Republican administra- tion, during the past seven and one-half vears has been a failure and completely void of accomplishment.

Another delegation which called on | Hoover yesterday was composed of offi- cers of the International Knights of the | Round Table, in convention here. The | group presented to the nominee a cane fashioned from a redwood tree more { than 3.000 years old and which was 26 fect in diameter. There was enough wood in the tree, Hoover was told, to build 112 houses. The cane was handed to Hoover by Mayor A. W.
