WHAT COOLIDGE SAID.
Summary of Speech Delivered at North
ampton.


Governor Coolidge said in part: ''To
your now formal notification l respond
with formal acceptance. Your presence
tells me of a leader and a cause A
leader in Warren g. Harding, the united
choice of united party, a statesman of
ability, seasoned by experience, a fit
ting representative of the common as
pirations of his fellow citizens, wise
enough to seek counsel, great enough
to recognize merit, and in all things a
stalwart American; the cause of our
common country, as declared in the
platform of the Republican party, the
defence of our institutions from every
assault, the restoration of constitu-
tiOnal government, the maintenance of
law and order, the relief of economic
distress, the encouragement of indus
try and agriculture, the enactment of
humanitarian laws, the defence of the
rights of our citizens everywhere, the
rehabilitation of this nation in the es-
timation of all peoples, under an agree
ment, meeting our every duty, to pre-
serve the peace of the world, always
with uHyielding Amerieanism, under
such leader, such cause, ! serve
The greatest need of the nation at
the present time is to be rescued from
all the reactions of the war The chief
task that lies before us is to repossess
the people of their government and
their property. We want to return ia
a thoroughly peace basis because that
is the fundamental American basis I'm
less the government and property OF
the nation are in the hands of the
people, and there to stay as their per
manent abiding place, self government
ends and the hope of America goes
! down in ruins. This need is transcen,
dent. All authority must be
| exercised by those to whom it is con.
| stitutionally entrusted without die
! tation, and with responsibility only tc
| those who have bestowed it, the peo

"Another source of the gravest pub
lie concern has been the reactionary
tendency to substitute private will fol
| the public will. Instead of inquiring
what the law was and then rendering
it full obedience, there has been dis
position on the part of some individual
and of groups to inquire whether the,
liked the law, and if not, to disregard
it, seek to override it, suspend it, anC
prevent it's execution, sometimes by TIL

Start of TOday's Race Is De-
layed By Lack
of Wind
YESTERDAYS RACE
DECLARED OFF
Neither Boat Able to Finish Within
Time Limit - Resolute Was Far
Ahead - Several Postponements To-

day.
SANDY HOOK, July 27.-Shamrocl
" today led Resolutc across the starting
line in the "fnaT international Yacht
race to settle the destiny of Americas
cup. Starting on the 3O-mile windward
and seaward course Shamrock " had
the better of it. Her skipper berthed her
nicely to windward before the yacht
caught the line. Both yachts hung when
the starting signal was sounded at 2l5
and failed TO reach the line before the
two minute handicap limit expired
At 1.45 the postponing flag was
hauled down. The regatta committee
announced that the time allowance
which Shamrock must give Resolute
would remain ut six minutes, 40 sec
onds.
AT Las the signal was set indicating
a south southwest course for the final
race. This would give the yachts a
Is miles beat to windward down the
Jersey coast from the Ambrose Channel
| lightship to a point off Asbury Park
with a run home.
The wind had picked up off shore to
about three knots, but few spectators
| believed the yachts could finish within
| the six hour time limit unless the wind
| increases. South west winds usually
blow stronger as the afternoon advances
and this probably was the reason for
ordering start.
The preparatory signal was sounded
| at o clock for a start at 2l5 D. m.
| Resolute carried main sail, stay sail,
outer jib and slug top sail. Shamrock
carried the same sails, but did not
bring out her stay sail until later.
The fifth and decisive race for the
Americans cup was called off yester-
| day after the conntenders had wal
lowed along for four and half hours
in virtually breezeless sea.
Although their fayorite failed tc
WIN yesterday, Resolute S supporters
took great comfort in the fact that she
was leading the challenger by about
two miles when the match was de.
elared off. Measured in actual progress
toward the far away stake in the pre-.
vailing wind, this meant about an hour I
sailing, for the defender had consumed
d
hours in covering nine miles of the
course.
Both yachts, however, had covered
considerably more actual distance thar
nine miles, for Immediately after the
start Capt. Charles Francis Adams, 2d
of Resolute and Capt. William e. Bur
ton of Shamrock w, got into luffina
match that took them far off the
course and well in toward tba Tersax
shore.
When they finally came about after
an hour and 90 minutes of sailing that
had carried them only a short distance
nearer the mark than they were at tn,
start, Resolute had picked up the So
second lead Shamrock ". took at tn,
start, and soon passed the green chal
longer.
But the breath of wind that haC
given the committee sufficient hope t,

time and sloops fairly drifted, unit

ship Cargo Of Steel From Pittsburgh
10 New Orleans Owing to
Car Shortage.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 1S.--Two
Tow boats lashod to barges carrying
more than 10000 tons of steel bound
from Pittsburgh to New Orleans are
afloat on Americas mightiest inland
waterways-the ohio and Mississippi
rivers--indcating to a degree river
men say. the greatest revival OF river
traffic since 1887.
Curiously enough one Of the rea-
sons given for II IL that it Is a time
saver Notwithstanding the greater
distance than by rail. Favorable
differences in freight rates and
shortage OF railroad cars also enter
into the situation while completion
0. locks and dams are expected to
give the traffic greater assurance Of
stability, and more ease OF opera
ton.
Construction OF river terminals at
important cities with modern ma
chinery for handling freight, already
contemplated at Louisville and at
Memphis, is expected to contribute
10 the revival and become a corner
stone in the foundation for its per-
manent future.
Mr.. Klein came to Louisville to
meet one OF his towboats I'm my
s3 years OF experience on the river"
he said, II have never seen such a
boom as we are enjoying today. The
Pittsburgh harbor is almost as busy
as II was in the old days before the
railroads took our business. Coal
companies are buying steel barges
as fast as they can be constructed"

the opinion of Mr.. Klein. One

ceeded the cost of her original con-
sruction. 80 her owners must ex-
