GOVERNOR COOLIDGE
AND CAMMANT VISIT
Guests at Summer Home of Councillor
WiIliams-Coolidge' Address
Before Republican Club.

BOSTON. Aug. Ex-Governor Coolidge
and Judge Wallace McCammant of Port
land, Ore, who came here to speak at
the Republican club dinner last night,
were guests of Councillor Henry FL. VIII
liams at his summer home at Plymouth
to-day. The governor and Judge Me
Cammant left the state house by auto
mobile and went first to Brockton, where
they were met by Mayor Gleason and es-
corted through one of the large shoe fac
tories in that city.
Governor Coolidge, Republican nomi,
nee for vice president, addressing the
Republican club of Massachusetts at a
dinner in his honor at the Hotel Somer-
set last night, said that in these
troubled times emo man and no party
ought to be rash enough to promise the
performance of plans for long in adj
vance, but that "this is no excuse
for failure to do our best - He praised
Senator Harding, the presidential NOM

selves for success. To despise the past

There is need of a strong execu-
tive but there is need of a correspond

life and public administration must
