When Senator Lodge of Massachu-

suite the other day. after he had paid
his respects to Calvin Coolidge and
talked over the future of the new
administration, he said that Mr..
Coolidge would make a good Presi-

will be back of him."
OF course, great many persons
who don't like Senator Lodge, will
say that he would make the same
statement of any President of his
party. but. in the present instance
Mr.. Lodge will probably find that a
great majority of his own party and
many who are not Of his party will
agree with him.
Hope of Party.
The hope of the republican party
lies in Calvin Coolidge. 1t is within
his power to make or break it. Even
those who are not close students of
political conditions. will admit that
the republican party faced 1914 with
dubious feelings. With a new figure

Not long ago Calvin Coolidge was
Governor of Massachusetts,. If it were
not for the Boston police strike and
the manner in which Mr.. Coolidge
handled himself and the issues in

have Joined the long list of his prede-

grave "unhonored and unsung." The
police strike projected him into the
national political arena. The great
bulk of the American people liked the
way he met the issue. President

told Col. Sheriff. that he would be

the Cauitol plaza ready to again re-
ceive it's load of sorrow.
As earlier i'll the day. when the
funeral cortege passed along Penn
sylvania avenue. President Coolidge
and the other highest officials of the
government had places close behind
the caisson which had been the
funeral car for the flag -draped coffin
since it reached Washington.
Again, too, there was the hashlng
of cavalry sabers and the slow tread
of the infantry. of marines and blue
Jackets as the Capital said It's sad
goodbye. Besides. the short line OF
march from the Capitol to the station
was lined all the way with infantry
men. standing at the present in a
final salute to their commander in
chief.
Placed on Caisson.
1t was $40 O'Clock when the casket
was taken from the rotunda, where it
had lain since noon. and placed on the
black kwheeled caisson. An Army band
played Nearer, My God, to Thee" as
the burden was taken tenderly down
the steps of the Capitol.
Ahead OF the team that drew the
caissun a petty officer of the Navy
stood with the Presidents four
starred blue flag unfuried to the
light breeze and lowered in mourn
ing for the man il has so oft"n
flown TO glorify. To one side was
the little column of the crew of the
Pres dents yacht Mayhower. the
jacltics in their white uniforms. the
marines in blue.
President Coolidge. with barred
head, followed the casket down the
steps The cabinet followed, and
behind them were the senator's ana
representatives. generals and ad-
mirals who had been selected 'as
honorary pallbearers.
Moves Past Senate Wing.
The new President and the others IN
the official party quickly took their
place in the waiting line of automo-
bileS, and the cortege moved slowly OIL
past the Senate wing of the Capitol
where a handful of Senate workers. all
of whom had known the dead leader,
were gathered to bid him farewell
At 5:25 pm. Warren Harding passed
again under the shadow of the archtng
entrance TO the railway terminal. where
but six weeks ago he had entered so
confidently on his mission OF under
standing" among his people.
The troop of cavalry leading the way
into the station plaza, where the three
great flags still dropped at woeful
ha!f-maSt, turned to the right toward
the eastern entrance to the station and
TO the Presidents room, and drew up
in line to salute again as the caisson
rolled slowly by and up TO the door.
The official party, headed by Presl-
dent Coolidge, followed as the caSket
was lifted down again to be carried
back over the route ii came the night
before in darkness.
