COOLIDGE PATHWAY NOT ROSE STREWN considering entering the race. The rumors go further and add that, to keep from offending his “sense of loyalty,” he is about to resign from the cabinet In order to devote him- salf to preparing to accept the nom- ination. The rumor persists that the 'east- 0 bli trylng to throw Hoover, Hughes and Longworthl:;: Hominatlon to Charles Evans Thorns Springing Up BY GEORGE H. MANNING (Washington Bureau of the X. B. Herald) Washington, D. C. July 28— Various discordant notes have in the last fortnight jarred upon the previously harmonious republican chorus for a continuation of “Calvin Coolidge and prosperity” in 1928. While the predominant tone of republican utterances still indicates that Coolidge is being supported for the nomination, these minor tones have thrust themselves into the harmony. The general nature of re- cent remarks has been, “of course, I am for Coolidge, but. . . .” The most outstanding example of this turn in opinion is the case of that New Englander with a sense of humor, Senator George Moses of New Hampshire, He came back to Washfhgton from the west and ad- mitted to the press that the pos: bility of the renomination ot Calvin Coolidge “fills a good many repub- licans beyond the Mississippi with anxiety.” “They belong,” he further ex- plained, with a significant adjective, “to that distinguished minority which thinks the president will withdraw himself from the race.” Moreover, he reported that the anti-third-term sentiment in the west is “a surprisingly vigorous opinion.” Now another New Englander, ‘William M. Butler of Massachusetts, chairman of the Republican Nation- al committee, came back from the west a few months ago and solemn ly declared that he had found no sentiment at all against the re-elec- tion of President Coolidge to merve more than two terms. He told all this to the president and a couple of presidential aspirants and other politicians at a White House break- fast. Besides, Herbert Hoover came away from the summer White House stating that to declare himself a candidate for the presidential nom- ination “would bé an offense at his sense of loyalty,” thus giving im- petus to the rumor that he really is Hughes of New York in case Cool- idge does not choose to run again, while the westerners and the south- erhers are preparing to run Hoover. Ot course, it Coolidge wants the southern delcgates, he can have them. That is part of the patronage prerogative. But Herbert Hoover has gained great popularity in the south as a result of his work in the flood area. Hughes Is the favorite of the casterners, the story goes, because of his wide knowledge of foreign affairs and the importance of for- eign affairs in American commerce and finance at the present time. Since the republicans have been declaring that prosperity is the only jssue, two other news items have contributed to the discord in the Coolidge chorus. First came the story of the in- crease in business failures in the first six mernths of 1927 as com- pared with the first half of 1926. There were 12,292 business failures, with liabilities aggregating $281,- 527,518 in the first half of this year, as compared with 11,476 fail- ures, with llabilities aggregating $209,888,501, in the first half of 1926. Then came the 9 per cent decline in building during the first half of this year as compared with the first half of 1926, and the even greater decline during this June as com- pared with June, 1926. Officlal re- ports show that in 481 cities huild- ing permits fer $2,034,696,939 of work were issued in the first six months of 1927, as compared with $2,245,030,070 during the first six months of 1926. The same cities fssued $351,719,088 worth of build- ing permits in June this year, while during June last year they issued $411.051.351 worth, a drop of nearly 15 per cent. Of the 25 citles reporting the largest volume of building permits, only Chicago, Newark, Milwaukee, Portland, Yonkers, Cincinnati, Buf- falo, Louisville, Indianapolis, Colum- bus, and Minneapolis showed in- creases as compared with the first half of 1926. ‘What with the flood and the boll weevll hosts, the cotton farmers of the south are likely to be more prosperous this year, but a lot of good that would do President Cool- idge. Prosperity there brings no hopefulness to.any dreams he may have of another term in the White Honse. On the other hand, staunch and conservative republicans who op- posed the McNary-Haugen bill have found that the west is still discon- tented and wants farm legislation. Of course, a lot of well-chosen farmers reaffirmed their support of the McNary-Haugen bill, which the president vetoed. Senator Moses predicted beforehand that such a stand wonld have a serious and probably disastrous result on Pres- ident Coolidge's political fortunes. In consideration of these develop- ments and the apparent determir. - tion of the democrats and insurgents to introduce and possibly even to pass an anti-third-term resolution in the senate next winter the pres- idential aspirations of Hoover, Hughes, and Nicholas Longworth have taken on new life.
