Aside from this brief statement.
Rene Il. Creagcr. chairman of the
Republican state executive committee
and who, according to all indications,
is slated to be ambassador to Mexico,
absolutely declined to discuss his ap-
pointment,. when interviewed at the
st. Anthony Hotel Monday morning.
Mr.. Creager had Just returned from
six weeks visit to Washington and
the East and is on his way to Browns
vile. his home.
Mr.. Creager expressed willing
ness to discuss national and state
politics and issues but whenever the
subject of the appointment Of an am
bassador to Mexico was preached, he
literally became silent in two
languages. He admitted that Presi-
dent Coolidge apparently is commit
ted to former President Harding's
policies. but whether it would include
the late Presidents proposed ap-
pointees, he would not hazard a
guess.
Friends Are Optimistic.
Despite Mr.. Creager's reticencc re-.
garding his appointment. number
OF his close friends who visited him
Monday and who are in close touch
with national affairs. expressed the
opinion that the appointment of the
Texan TO represent the United
States at the Mexican capital is vir-
tually assured. 1t was generally
known before President Harding's
death, that Mr.. Creager was slated
for the appointment. Tn view Of his
peculiar fitness for the post, Mr..
Creager's friends assert. it is only
logical to assume that President
Coolidge will carry out President
Harding's policy in this respect

man Creager declared that President
Coolidge's action since his assumption
of the presidency have been "most
admirable" adding that the Republi-
can leaders and the people in general
are "unauestionably pleased with the

aside from its political significance.
Proof Of this fact, Mr.. Creager
said. was seen in the action of the
New York stock exchange which
showed no effects whatsoever in the
unexpected change in the administra-
ton.
"Such a thing as this is almost
unheard Of" Mr.. Creager said at
shows the confidence of the people
in President Coolidge as a man and
also shows the peoples approval of
his declaration that he expects TO
carry out the Harding policies"
Candidate In 1924.
Although President Coolidge has
refrained from announcing any plans
regarding his possible candidacy for
the presidency. Mr.. Creager said that
the Republican leaders as we'll as the
rank and file naturally expect him to
Coolidge. Mr. Creager believes, is the
logical man for the place.
Mr.. Creager expressed deep gratifi-
cation in the clearing up of the Mex
lean situation. pointing out that this
work was virtually accompanished be-
fore President Harding's death.
Il want TO say" Mr.. Creager said.
"that the commissions, both Mexican
and American, did truly remark

the problems with broad minded
ness and patriotism which is worthy

There will he no change in the
policy Of the Republicans in Texas.
Mr.. Creager said. and the plans of
the party will proceed exactly as dur

ously. he said. headquarters will be
kept open and an aggressive state
campaign waged between now and
the coming election.
