Woods Strength in Colorado.

Clarence j. Hamlin OF Colorado
Springs is one OF the best boosters for
General Woods presidential boom who
has come out Of the west. He believes
that when the convention assemblies IN
Chicago next June there Is going TO be
lust one ballot. and General Wood will
get all the votes. And in a measure
that appears TO be the feeling of lot
of other supporters of General Wood.
One of the Wood adherents declared It
was regrettable that the other aspir-
ants for the Republican nomination
should oppose General Wood at this
time when il appeared that the entire
country demanded the nomination OF
the general. why muddy the waters
he asked of former governor Of utah.
But Mr.. Hamlin has some concrete evil
denee to support his views that General
Wood is the big choice at this time. tie
said:
IL have Just completed poll Of the
Republican and independent newspa-
pers of Colorado, and the result shows
that of 81 Republican papers, 81 de-
clared for Wood. 10 were for lowden,
: for Senator johnson. for General
Pershing, though he has not been
classed as a candidate; for Senator
Harding. for Governor Coolidge, | Tor
Governor Sproul. for Governor Allen
of Kansas and IL were non-eommittal.
The independent papers showed four
for Wood and one each for Lowden, Al
len. Pershing and johnson, while four
were non-eommittal.
All of which. Mr.. Hamlin j. con

however, requirement that the tenn

A Homespun Public Servant.

A proper description of Mr.. Coolidge
would be that of public servant. As he
has been diligent about the conduct and
administration of every office he held,
however obscure; as he has been a
thinker and seldom talker; as he has
stunned notoriety and lived unpreten-
tionslv, and as he has borne himself
modestly and always done the days
work. no one can call him demagogiie.
1t is, therefore, possible to believe that
when he says he could not seek the
Office OF president he means it.
1t would be easy to pick up phrases
of his statement that seem to haze n
false ring, others that seem designed to
promote the candidacy he will not seek.
But they must be read in the light of
the characteristics and temper of the
man. He is old fashioned, diffident. per-
haps peculiar with a tinge of austerlty.
His stvle of address is neither smooth
nor suave. He says the thing in his
mind with dour sort of honesty, with
out thinking of whether he will be mis-
understood or criticized. But if others
did not agree with him he would not
care. There is certain want of tact
about his reference to men who grasp
for power in high places or low" and
when he adds that 1T Il always well
for men to walk humbly," the average
reader feels that If Calvin Coolidge IS
a politician he is not very aSute. In
the mouth of any other public man
prominent in his party such phrases
would be distasteful, but the man who
utters them is homespun.
Il have not been and ] am not can
didate for president" says Governor
Coolidge. He has never been conspicu-
ouslv candidate for any office, and
vet he has risen from round to round
Of the ladder of preferment. II may
be his unspoken conviction that II he
