BOSTON TO HONOR
GOV. COOLIDGE
Residents Of City Will Stage
Parade When Delegates Ar
rive From Chicago
AMHERST VISIT is DEFERRED

Boston, June 14.-The plans Of Gov
ernor Coolidge. Republican vice presi-
dental nominee. to go to Amherst for
the opening of the commencement week
Of his alma mater and then to his home
in Northampton were changed yesterday
upon receipt of a telegram from the
Massachusetts, delegates saying they
would arrived here this afternoon and
parade to the State House. The gover-
nor will remain in Boston to receive
them and then leave for his home.
The governor yesterday was besieged
with callers, who came to extend their
congratulations on his nomination. His
secretary. Henry F. Long, continually
brought him kilograms from host Of
friends and prominent Republicans.
William Howard Taft, in his message
to the nominee. said:
Il congratulate you most heartily
and sincerely on your nomination as
Vice President. The ticket Of Harding
and Coolidge will sweep the country.
and its certain victory means a useful
and successful Republican administra-
ton Of the affairs of this country the
next four years.

johnson is a big factor in the situa
tion. He accepted" the ticket, but he
is known to be an angry and disap-
pointed man. From being q powerful
figure in Washington he dwindled 10
nothingness here. The delegates did not
care two straws for the fact that he
was the leader of the party's left wing
They did not care two straws for the
party's left wing.
The parallel of 1904 recurs again
Bryan accepted" the Parker ticket
in that year.. Bryan stayed regular and
waited until he could say triumphantly
~ told you So" Johnson, if the worst
fears Of the liberals are realized, will
initiate the Bryan of 1904. The general
impression is that he will not lift his
hand to elect. the Harding ticket: He
did nothing for Hughes in California
in 1916, with the result that Hughes
was defeated If he is inactive in Cali
fornia at this time. California, pervaded
as it is with the Hearst influence, may
turn out to be again q doubtful state.
What the Democrats May Do
But johnson this year is something
more than the leader of state. He is
the national leader of one wing of his
party, as Bryan was of his party in
1904. Johnson may be regular. His
open attitude may be impeccabe. And
vet it may do much damage to Repub-
lican prospects.
The Democrats are likely to meet this
issue raised by the Republican conven
ton with directness. Whatever the
party's platform declares for Mr.. Nc
Adoo, If he is nominated, will make his
own platform and it will be bold one.
Mr.. McAdoo is political gambler who
plays for big stakes. It is creditably as
serted here that his personal platform
will embrace the government ownership
of railways. Mr.. McAdoo, as railway
administrator. became a convinced ad-
vocate of government ownership, just as
Mr.. Hines, his successor, practical
railway man, did also.
If Mr.. McAdoo follows this policy
it will be bold meeting of the chal-
lenge thrown down by the Republican
convention. He will lift the whole fight
out of the area of Wilson and anti Will
son and place it upon a new plane. He
will go boldly after the elements who
will have difficulty staying in the Re-
publican party. He will abandon the
conservatives, except his own southern
conservatives, to the Republican party
and seek to capture the industrial vote
of the big eastern states. In that case
the issue will turn upon what strength
there really is in the forces of northern
and western conservatism.

Convention Useless
for the Democrats
By ROBERT W. MAXwELL)

Continued from Pagc One
more hot air to the torrid, steaming
furnace, which is the latest slang for
the arena.
Oratory and spellbinding are all
right in their place, but in the Windy
City they were out of tune and ut-the
parade out of step. A nominating speech
which nominates is fine and pretty, but
on two occasions the speaker did moth
ing but paint an oral epitaph on a pair
of political hopes. The other one was
Hiram johnson.
The real silver tongue stuff was up
set by Governor Willis, Of Ohio. He
made the greatest speech Of the con
vention and 1t was appreciated even
by the delegates. Because he was a
governor and happened to be in Chicago
on that particular day Willis was al
lowed to nominate Harding and did
such good job that Ohio almost lost
her chief executive instead Of only a
United States senator.
Pennsylvania, however, was signally
honored because three names were bal
loted upon. They were as follows:
T.. j. SproOl.
w. Il. SprOwl.
w. c. SprOul.
All three received the hearty support
of the Pennsylvania delegation, with a
couple of votes on the outside.
Governor Sproul, however, was the
most popular man at the conclave, and
had he launched his boom month
earlier it would have been a different
story. No candidate ever made friends
so rapidly, and had he made tour of
the country the convention would have
been landslide.
This is tip for our Governor to get
busy in 1924.
Chicago now is deserted. The per-
spring molders of our nation have left
the town fiat and, are supremely happy.

rusty bolts, believed to have been car

Trenton, June 14.--About 140 appli-

on file pending the Supreme Court de-
cision in prohibition litigation will be
dismissed by the city commission at its
meeting today. The courts uphold.
ing the validity of prohibition legislation
renders the commission powerless to

today the question Of charging a H.
