SENATOR GALL|NGER FOR

Says Massachusetts, Man Is Especial

Senator Jacob H. Gallinger of New
Hampshire today declared himself In
favor Of the nomination of Senator
John w. Weeks of Massachusetts as
the republican candidate for President.
Senator Gallinger's statement followed
closely the action of the republican
state committee of Massachusetts
which yesterday afternoon unanimous
ly indorsed the candidacy of Senator
Weeks and commended him as man
who would make IAN able. strong and
forceful President" Concerning his
colleague, Senator Gallinger said today:
New Hampshire will support Senator
Weeks of Massachusetts, for the presi-
dency without ripple. Senator Weeks
was born in our state, he is loved and
honored by every one. and now that
the opportunity presents itself to ex-
press our confidence in him we shall
do so very emphatically.
Has Had Excellent Training.
Senator Weeks early training in
the navy, supplemented by a lifelong
study of the navy's needs, has fitted
him as no other presidential candidate
is fitted for dealing intelligently with
the question of preparedness. His long
and admirable business career has Civ
en- him a practical training that would
be tremendous asset to the country
as President, and his marked success
in public life gives every assurance to
the country that with Weeks in the
White House the executive and legis-
Iative branches of the government
would work together with inspiring
harmony for the good of the nation.
so far as New Hampshire is con-
cerned, our mind is made up. We are
for Senator Weeks for President, and
