TO ANNOUNCE

Declaration Expected to Be
Contained in Acknowledge
mont to s. D. Convention.

President Coolidge is q candidate
for the Presidency in 1924, anu
what will amount to virtual
declaration to this effect win be
forthcoming from the White House
some time today, 1t was learned
here this morning.
The President, it was said, plans
to acknowledge the action OF the
South Dakota proposal convention,
which yesterday nominated him for
the Presidency, and his acknowl.
edgment will be so framed as to
constitute an avowal OF his in.
tentions.
The Presidents personal friends
and political advisers were jubilant
today over the South Dakota re.
suits, which placed Coolidge rar
ahead Of Senator Hiram johnson
Rep.) of California, his only open
opponent to date.
One of Coolidge's political spokes
men characterized the South Da.
kota action as IAN outstanding ex.
preston of opinion upon the intel.
lectual and safe methods Of gov.
errnment being pursued by the
President" They thought it pecu.
liarly appropriate that the first
step toward returning Coolidge to
the White House should be taken
in South Dakota, which four wears
ago started him on his way to the
Vice Presidency.
