I wish you would communicate my~best wishes to the delegates and express my ap- preclation of the loyal support which they have given me. Present de- velopmentg indicate that in the com- ing election the Republican party is the only hope which Amerfca has for econgmy, staflity and common sense in/government. The appeal whigh it now makes to the patriot- ism of the natfon for present sup- port has not been exceeded in many years. I know that we can depend on Massachusetts. I belleve we can depend on the nation. Signed: “CALVIN COOLIDGE." All iIndications in advance of the resolutions committee’s report to the conkention were that the platform would declare, without recorded dissent, in fagor the national con- vention's‘stand on the Ku Klux Klan the committee having defeated a proposal to denounce it by name; that it would favor revision of the direct primary so that state candi- ‘@ates except governor and lieutenant governor would be nominated by convention, and that this would be the only’ reference to the proposal that the party refuse to endorse State Auditor Alonzo B. Cook, can- didate for reelection and Washing- ton Cook, his brother, candidate of the republicans in the second coun- cillor district. Klan Fight Looms There were possibilities of a fight on the floor on the Klan issue, which ‘was introduced before the resolu- tiong committee by a woman, Mrs. George W. Knowlton, Jr., of West Upton, but Mayor E. F. Leonard of Springfleld who had sald he would press the fight, was inclined today to stand by the platform as pre- pared. The resolutions committee had practically completed its work at rhidnight,” when it adjourned un- til 9:30 a. m. United States Sendtor Henry Cabot Lodge, in a letter to Chairman Foss, expressed regret at his inability to attend, saying he regarded President Coolidge as “invuinerable” as a can- didate and called for every possible effort to gain for the republican David I. Walsh, a democrat. Sen- ator Lodge sald hg hoped later to be able to take part in the campaign. Of President Coolidge, the sena- tor's letter said he should be assur- ed “a majority in Massachusetts greater than any candidate has ever received.” e VE Pefiniless Girl Found Wandering on, Streets Magdeline Yeager, charged with vagrancy in police court today had her case continued until next Sat- urddy and was placed in care of Assistant ProMition Officer Cora Beale.

She was given lodging at police headquarters for the night and an investigation was made of her case yesterday by Miss Beale. A charge of vagrancy was placed against her after the investigation was made. Gus Colling was arraigned hefore Judge Alling on a charge of violat- ing the terms of probation imposed two weeks ago by the court.

It is expected, however, that this will be upset by a comparatively small amount of bond issues called for payment during the month.

Democratic leaders remained at sea as to the governor's ultimate answer to their insistent defnands that he be a third-term candidate. Although expressing confidence that he eventually would agrce to accept the nomination at the Syracuse con- vention next week, the party leaders did not cease their pleadings, cor- nering the governor at every oppor- tunity and adding to their already long list of persuasive arguments. “A Savings Atcount at The Burritt Mutual Savings Bank.” 2%, interest Action | St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 20.—Pledged ; to be | .
