SIMPLICITY IN
EVERYTHING IS
COOLIDGE PLAN
BY PAUL R. MALLON
United Press Staff Correspondent

ABOARD PRESIDENT COOL
IDGE'S SPECIAL ENROUTE TO
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.--Avoiding
all ceremony in reverence for his
departed chief, President Coolidge
sped down out of his familiar
Green Mountain hills today to take
over the office of chief executive in
Washington.
Mr.. Coolidge, practicing his ma
tural policy of New England steadi-
ness, refused to go out to great
the crowds of farmers and their
wives who awaited him at every
station.
He even refused offers of the
Rutland railroad of special train
until the local to which the private
ear was attached had almost reach
ed Troy. The President does not
intend to 90 to the White House
upon his arrival in Washington to-
night. He feels the bereaved Mrs.
Harding should return there first.
He will stay at his suite in the New
Willard hotel-the one he occupied
as vice president.
Mr.. Coolidge took his ascension
to the presidency just as coolly as
if it never had happened. Grieved
at the departure of his chief and
friend he wishes none of the honors
ordinarily showed president show
cred upon him.
The new president has indicated
strongly that he will follow out the
principles of stern republicanism IN
his administration in much the same
manner Mr.. Harding would have
done.
At Rutland and' Troy he was ap-
plauded but in other towns the folk
only stared through the windows.
They could not seem to understand
that "Cal' Coolidge, the farmer
boy of Plymouth, was president of
the United States.
