Second Section EXPECT BREAK IN CODLIDGE SILENCE QPmident May Soon Declare | mn Ont of Race BY GEORGE MANNING f (Washington Bureau of New Britain Herald) ‘Washington, D. C., Dec. 16.— “Si- lent Cal” tantalized the political gossips of Washington to an unusual extent by | his continued reticence on the ques- tion of his possible candidacy for a third term. The annoyance provoked by this | silence extends not only to the gos- sips and ‘“observers” but to many | leaders and factions of the repub- | | lican party as well. Several presi- dential aspirants would be more than glad to begin at once a cam- paign in their own behalf, but they must keep studiously in the back- ground because Calvin Coolidge, as the nominal leader of the party, | continues to kecp his own counsel l on his ambitions toward another term in the White House. Announcement Anticipated One of these days, however, Mr. Coolidge, out of a clear sky, will set the political welkin not be a candidate for a third t. in 1928, it is believed by several of those closest to the White House. This declaration, though quietly uttered, will produce a loud re- sounding echo, because it is taken for granted today by nearly ever: body that Coolidge is the party's choice and will be a candi- date at the next elections. It is gen- erally believed that Governor Al Smith of New York will be the democratic choice for president in 1928, and Coolidge is considered by many republicans to be the only man in their party who can beat Al Smith, The president will bide his time in making this announcement it is believed. He is as shrewd as he is reticent. In the year and a half that will pass before the next republicar convention meets to select the party’s 1928 candidate, many things can happen. New factors may, and probably will, enter into the consi eration. There is yet to be observed what the nation's reaction will be to certain legislative measures likely to be passed during the present session of congress, what solution congress will offer for the farm relief prob- lem, and what the public sentiment will be toward the administration’s tax law when it has been in effect long enough to show results. An eye Coolidge has vexed and | ringing by a | definite announcement that he will | rm | congress, which will convene a year hence, and which will have such a dangerously small republican ma- jority that it is likely to causé the administration considerable trouble. Remembers Washington's Warning Coolidge, some speculators believe, may see the efficacy of adopting the herole pose, calculated to gain him a place on a pedestal in the shadow of that of George Washington, by remembering the admonition of the First President against a third term in the presidential chair. Mr. Coolidge could also take this course as & convenient way out if he and his lieutenants should later on become convinced that he could not be reelected either because he would be defeated by Al Smith as the democratic candidate, or that he could not overcome the strong senti- ment against more than eight years lin the White House for any presi- dent. When his present term expires on | March 4, 1929, Coolidge will have been in the White House nearly six years, having succeeded to the presi- dency on August 2, 1923, following the death of President Harding. While his tenure of office will not have covered two full terms, and need not be an obstacle, technically, to his occupying the White House | for another term in the light of the precedent laid down by the “Father of the Country,” still President Coo- | lidge is not overlooking any politic points. He may see the impossibil- ity of reclection because of a strong| sentiment which exists throughout | the country against too long a so-| journ in the Whito House. Theo-| | dore Roosevelt declared he would | not scek a third term at the close | of his first full term in office, al-| though he changed his mind three vears later, only to suffer defeat on | election da | While President Coolidge is keep- ing “mum” on the subject of his own candidacy, it is believed that | he s quietly figuring to train some- | | body for the job as his successor, and most observers belleve that | person will be Herbert Hoover, pres- |ent secretary of commerce in the | Coolidge cabinet. | Hoover Well Advertised Hoover is a likely presidential possibility.

Hoover | was an unsuccessful candidate for | of the W NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1926. lieved that he has gained strength during the last six years through his close association with the govern- ment's activities. While it is believed that the pres- ident will proceed to groom Herbert Hoover as the Coolidge entry in the 1928 presidential sweepstakes, he may be compelled by force of cir- cumstances to switch to Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, if Al Smith be- comes the democratic candidate. Former Governor Lowden is parti- cularly popular with the farm ele- ment in the middle west Mr. Coolidge may find it expedi- ent later, if he sticks to what his friends claim is his determination not again to be a candidate for president, to swing his support to Senator Frank Willis of Ohio who is generally regarded as a man who will get a large vote from all parts of the country. WIllis' position is made stronger from the fact that he is one of the leading drys in con- gress and would have that peculiar advantage in a rac against Al Smith, a “dripping” wet, if the New Yorker is nominated by the democrats. ‘What Will He Do Then? Speculation has been Washington as to what President Coolidge will do when he steps out ite House, and many are of the opinion that the presidency of an institution of higher educa- tion is the particular ambition of the present chief executive after his present term as president is over. | The resignation of Dr.George Dan- fel Olds as president of Amherst college, Coolidge’s alma mater, has lent added stress to thi specula- tio~ in the last few da Presi- dent Coolidge's devotion to Amherst is well known, and it is believed that the academic atmosphere of this venerable institution would be par- ticularly pleasing to htm following his retirement from the presidency. of the United States. Most of the ex-presidents of re cent years have either become judges, heads of universities, or have devoted themselves to litera- ture. Mr. Taft, the only living ex- president, has done all three. Mr. Coolidge is a college gradu- ate, a lawyer and an guthor—he could choose either of the three courses—but his friends believe he would prefer to be the head of an Refuses to Become Chairman of | institution of learning for many as established a reputa- |reasons, among them being that he| loves Amherst, it would give him plenty of time for literature also, and would afford freedom of speech if he were lawyer or judge.
