COOLIDGE SPEECH
Wins MANY VOTES
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
BOSTON. July 31.-There is no
question that the notification cere-
monies at Northampton Tuesday
left deep impression upon the re-
publicans of Massachusetts. Gov
Coolidge's speech of acceptance has
been received with no criticism in
the party. In fact. the governor has
received several hundred letters of
congratulations, not only from re-
publicans but from democrats and in
dependents who declare it their in
tention of voting for Harding and
Coolidge. Many of these writers refer
to the governors reference to the
league of nations as the clearest ex-
preston of American duty that has
come TO their attention. Others
declare ii is their ihtention to vote
for him because of admiration gem
Grated by his handling of the Boston
police strike.
Many Calls for Speeches.
There have been many calls upon
the governor to deliver speeches in
various parts of the country. Prom
inent republicans have declared that
both Harding and Coolidge will be
making a great mistake If they do
not meet the democratic activity in
states where the vote may be in
doubt. But Gov. Coolidge does not
expect to leave Massachusetts. He
cannot begin to accept the invita-
tions to speak already on file. He
declares that he means to stick to
his job at the statehouse for the re-
mainder of his term.
Democratic Situation Clearing.
On the democratic side there ap-
pears to be clearing weather, so far
as the governorship is concerned
The ticket makers have projected a
slate which leaves only two candi-
dates for governor, instead of five
or more. James J. Walsh, state
senator from Boston. and Richard H.
Long from birmingham. who twice
aspired to the gubernatorial seat, are
still in the ring. William II. CASTOR,
who was said by one of his leading
supporters to have been asked to run
FOR governor by Gov. Cox, quit the
contest formally during the week.
several other aspirants who had not
made up their minds to run were
lzatlon to make the contest for lieu
tenant governor. AS there were no
responses. the state chairman has de-
cided to run himself
III is understood that Gov. Cox has
been assured that despite Gov.
Coolidge's popularity in Massachu-
sets. the democratic organization is
capable of putting up strong fight
for the democratic ticket. Senator
Walsh has not indicated the kind of
campaign that will be waged. but it
is known that the democrats are as
active as the republicans in the tex
tile districts in encouraging regis
tration. Boston in particular is
fruitful field for the democratic cam
paign for new voters, as the election
department expects record regis
tration next month. One of the most
potent agencies for the encourage
ment of citizenship and the voting
privilege is Mayor Peters committe e
on AmericaniZation. which has Offices
at city hall. Hundreds of new voters
have come under that spell. Mayor
Peters is a democrat, but thus far he
has not indicated any particular en-
thusiasm for the head of the demo-
cratic presidential ticket.

 The demurrer, submitted to Circuit Judge Walter B.
