picturesque contrast and friendly
harmony between the white-haired
authority of maturity and the golden
bloom of a richly gifted youth fully
equipped to conquer the world as yet
before it was not the least of the
pleasures of the evening.

the multitude. His natural expression
is elaborate and intricate, like the
prose Of George Meredith, and the
thought is extended, in many in
stances. on a broad scale One calls 1t
scholarly first of all, but the term
must not crowd out the warmth of
feeling and the play of varied color
that are also there. Most precious
of all, perhaps, is the lack of the
commonplace, which comes about not
because of any deliberate avoiding
but because the thing is foreign to
the composers genuinely refined ma

the character OF a Hungarian fan
tasy, brought to q brilliant close an
evening in which musical Washing

PARTY LEADERS PLEASED.
Believe Coolidge Announcement
Timely and Logical.
BY N. O. MESSENGER.

Republicans in Washington who are
friendly to the continuance of the
present republican administration
were gIatifed today over the an
nouncenient that campaign for the
nomination OF President Coolidge as
the party's candidate for that Of

close personal and political friend Of
President Coolidge. that friends of
the President are organizing under
the guidance OF William NJ. Butler,
for Massachusetts,, who will act as the
Presidents personal representative.
Comment among politicians today
approved the announcement, as to it's
timeliness the method Of presenta-
tion and Its general tone. 1t was very
that 1T should have been impersonai,
and characteristic of his modesty. OF
course, he has been in the eyes OF the
men in the republican party who are
for the nomination since he took of
fce.
His plan OF continuing the policies
OF the incumbent administration and
Of the republican party as declared
in its platform was viewed by some
party as making him the partys logi-
cal leader in 1924. 1t has not been
necessary for him to say anything
personally up to this time, and the
Mr.. Stearns Is likely to suffice, for
present purposes, at any rate.
Speech Wins Approval.
His platform was enunciated in his
speech to Congress last week. The
Presidents friends have felt that 1t
was widely approved by the country.
and they have been highly gratined
by its reception. tudgine from press

prominent republican leaders in every

Grade crossing accidents caused

has declared his intention to seek in

The republican national commit

1924 convention as well as select the
meeting place, is not scheduled to

Among the questions that may come

The committee also will hear protests,

the 1924 convention, but leaders say no
substantial changes. will be made. The
proposed total is 1896 delegates, as COM
pared with SS4 in 1920, more increases
having been made than reductions.
1t was indicated today that Presi-
dent Coolidge still plans to send a
message to South Dakota republicans
acknowledging the Endorsement given

will go to Sam Elrod, former gov
ernor Of the state, who placed the
Presidents name before the conven-
tion, and will be the first statement
direct from the President on the po-
litical situation.
Many Of the national committeeman
gathered here for the meeting Of the
committee beginning tomorrow called
at the White House today to discuss
politics with the President. Among
them were William H. Crocker Of
California, John w. Hart of Idaho and
Henry Lincoln Johnson Of Georgia
For years Mr.. Crocker and Senator

sought in some degree to bring them

Congress will be asked to provide
for practical utilization of land just
acquired by the federal government
between 18th and 21st streets and

west.
That property comprises five COM

was obtained by purchase and con-
domination for s1,30o.00O, represent

exception of a few lots in two OF

July 9-The naval transport Hen
derson, carrying President and Mrs.
Harding, steamed northward along
the Alaskan coast today, after max
ing first acquaintance with the terri
tory yesterday at Metlakahtla and
Ketchikan.
An all-night sail brought the trans
port early today off Wrangell, where
the party will go ashore for brief
visit before proceeding to Juneau.
The President was very favorably
impressed at his first stops in Alaska.
particularly by the appearance of the
people, who, with the exception of
the natives, he declared, might pass
city and be taken for citizens OF the
place.
Sees Need of Cable.
A break in the cable Friday and
Saturday, whereby the President was
isolated from the world. because ra-
dio messages from the Henderson
were held up at Ketchikan. brought
forcibly TO the attention of the Presi-
dent and the cabinet officers accom-
panying him the necessity of giving
Alaska more ample communication
facilities. The President also was
impressed by the perfect summer
weather. which at Ketchikan made
superauous overcoats brought by
members of the party.
A study of the problems OF the ma
tives who complained at Metlakahtla
that the salmon canneries were con-
Suming their food supply has been
inaugurated by the President.
