The hrSC impression tner 1IStH -COA-

agree with the opinion Of a few fell

But if one weathers his frequent
suggestions that he is too busy to talk
and his unconcealed desire that he be
rid of visitors the real nature of this
man shines forth. For beneath the
rather crusty she'll he presents to
strangers there is the sensitive soul of

more words than does his friend, the

fected the president through the years
of their leadership should be of help
to all good Americans.

up his creed with admirable clarity

him much disturbed.
Since President Coolidge, right in
the midst Of the tremendous pressure
of assuming his high office, found time
to write in his own hand to the cob
bier an unusually warm and aztec

The letter reads:

BRYAN's RETIREMENT-ANDC CLEVELAND
