the campaign for Mr.. Coolidge is
to be conducted was exemplified by
the virtual transfer of the conven-
ton next June from Chicago to
Cleveland. It has been 'all set
for the convention to go back to
Chicago in keeping with the Gus.
tom Of twenty years. Coolidge
managers, however, decided on
Cleveland for two reasons: First,
they believed that to take the con-
vention to Ohio would be a graceful
tribute to the memory of the late
President Harding, and, second,
they wanted to take the convention
away from the city where Hiram
Johnson's headquarters are located

The meeting of the Republican

which had promised to develop a

choice of Cleveland and transact
only uncertainty is the date of the
convention, but this is not held to
be particularly important. It will
be in June, probably in the latter
part of the month.
The next official step In the Cool.

in a few days. President Coolidge

who sponsored his selection on the

stating that he accepts the nomina.

Dakota Republicans, and declaring
that he will quality.

Under this law, candidates must
sign a Declaration" which states
''I do hereby declare if nominated
and elected will qualify, adhere to
the principles herewith proclaimed
and obey the party recall If invoked

Inasmuch as the platform adopted
by the South Dakota convention

pute in political quarters as TO the
