First Of Editorial Fraternity
to Sit at White
House Table.
POLITICS THE SUBJECT
Newspaperman Speaks Of
Massachusetts Senator
ial Situation.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright by The San Antonio Light.
Washington. ID. e.. Sept. H.
Robert Lincoln O'Brien. editor of the
Boston Herald had luncheon with
President Coolidge Monday. the first
of the editorial fraternity to sit at
the White House table under tie
new administration,
Mr. O'BriPn, who watches MaSsa-
chusetts politics with an eagle eye
from year to year. brought tidinss
of the situation there.
There's q rather interesting sena-
torial situation in Massachusetts,
said Mr.. O'Brien to the writer.
If things had been normal. Sena-
tor David /. Walsh. Democrat. would
have been very hard man 10 beat
next year and consequently the Re-
publican nomination would not have
been so earnestly sought after.
AS the nomination of Mr.. Coolidge
for President seems to be forcordained
there is Il feeling that with Massa-
chusetts man running for the Pres;-
dency. the local ticket Will be helped
immensely.
Everybody l Massachusetts seems
to be pleased that man from New
England is in the White House and
| believe Mr.. Coolidge will carry the
state by an ovcrwhelmin; majority
in fact a sweep as big as that which
Mckinley had over Bryan.
Naturally the people of Massa-
chusctts wCuld like TO sec the Re
publican nomination go to John W.
Weeks, secretary of war, if he wants
it.
There's feeling that when
Senator Walsh beat Mr.. Weeks for
reelection in 1918 the latter suffered
an undeserved defeat.
1T would be poetic justice to re-
store him if he wants the senator
ship.
Two More Candidates.

predict that hr will be a candidate

inquiry Mayor Tobin said he under
stood that there was both city and
state law prohibiting such parades or
gatherings. City Attorney Joe Ryan,
when appealed to, said that he did
not know of such state law or
ordinance.
There is a city ordinance, know,
Commissioner of Fire and Police
year ago that district judge
summoned the chief of police and me
and reminded us of this ordinance
and requested that we enforce it."
Requests One BE Drawn.
Commissioner Bushick then re-
uuested that if no such ordinance
existed that the city attorney be di-
rected to draw up one Immediately.
Commissioner Wright promised to
produce the ordinance Tuesday morn
ing for the information of the city
attorney and the finance commission
er.
Aside from the stir caused by
Commissioner Bushick's inquiry, the
commission meeting was devoted to
routine business. W. G.. Higgins
and a committee of men and women
representing the civic clubs appeared
before the commission to appeal for
a bond issue of S250,000 for play
grounds and recreation. The mayor
and commissioners, earlier in the
day, had tentatively agreed to sub
nit bond issue of 100000 for this
work, along with the flood bond
issue.
Mr.. Higgins and several other
members of the committee made stir
ring appeals for the full S2J0,000.
pointing out that the people should
be left TO decide whether they WANT
ed that amount. Mayor Tobin point
ed out that the charter prohibits the
spending of money derived from a
bond issue for other than permanent
improvements. This. he suggested.
would prevent expenditures for play
ground equipment and salaries and
maintenance. City Attorney Joe
Ryan concurred in this opinion.
Lambert Asks S15O,OOO.
Commissioner Lambert appealed TO
the commission TO submit a bond is
sue of at least S15O.t 10. pointing
OFT that San Antonio's parks and
Fairgrounds are costing less than
any in the country. The city owes
it TO its boys and girls. the park
commissioner said. to make proper
provision for their recreation.
"Every dollar spent" the park
commissioner said, contributes ma
t2rially to better citizenship" adding
that Fairgrounds tend TO keep young
boys away from pool rooms and
other resorts.
Mayor TObin promised TO take the
matter under consideration and adj
wise the committee as to the com
mission decision.
Commissioner Phil Wright intro
dured an ordinance repeating two
ordinances passed by the Black adj
ministration wherein contract with
the Sphinx Advertising System. au-
thorizing the placing of trash cans
on the rity's streets was entered into.
Commissioner Wright's ordinance
makes the contract null and void and
the company will be required TO re-
move tho trash cans. Both he and
Commissioners Lambert opposed the
trash can ordinance at the time it
was adopted by the Black administra-
ton.

that William NJ. Butler. Republican
national committeeman from Massa-
chusetts, will be another"
There is no telling what the atti-
tude of President Coolidge will be
toward the selection of Republican
nominee for United States senator
in his own state.
Usually a President is consulted
about such things.
Mr.. Wilson had much to do with
the New Jersey senatorial primaries
when he was in the White House,
and while Mr.. Harding outwardly re-
Trained from interference in Ohio,
his close friends did participate in
the 1922 primaries there.
There has always been talk Of Mr..
Weeks returning 10 the Senate where
he made good record. leaving the
majority of his party associates to
vote for the federal reserve act when
the Democrats were in control of
Congress and otherwise showing an
independence of action which was
widely commented OH at the time.
Mr.. Weeks is also considered as
the most likely successor to Secre-
tary of the Treasury Andrew W.
Mellon in case he ever decides to re-
tire from public life.
Mr. Mellon is valued highly by
President Coolidge and practically
everybody in the administration
would dislike TO see him retire. but
he has been reported represented at
times as DESTROYS of leaving the
arduous tasks of public office for a
less active life.
He has large business interests TO
supervise which have not been get
ting his time and attention.
Probably no man has made bigger
sacrifices to serve the government.
Weeks Close To Coolidge.
Mr.. Weeks is close to the new
President, of course. as they were
associated in Massachusetts politics
and would be 50 in any cabinet post.
But he originally would have pre-
ferred the secretaryship of The treas
ury when Mr.. Harding selected him
for secretary of war.
Mr.. Weeks was banker before he
went into politics.
There is also the possibility that
Mr.. Weeks might aspire TO the lead
ership Of the Senate if he returned
to that body.
There is no certainty that Senator
Henry CABOT Lodge will care TO re-
main as Republican leader.
Mr.. Underwood relinquished the
Democratic leadership because of the
strain of tile job.
Mr.. Weeks if reelected to the Sen
ate would be recognized in any con-
test. for leadership as eminently de-
sirable.
So the Massachusetts senatorial
situation has possibilities in it and
before long PILGRIMS from that state
viii be seeking Mr.. Coolideps advice
as well as influence in deciding upon
a candidate for the Republican nom-
nation.
