COOLIDGE RECEIVES
HIS NOTIFICATION
President, Formally Accepting
Republican Nomination, GIorifieS
Achievements of Government.

Washington.-Befo an audience
which crowded Memorial Continental
Hall, President Coolidge was formally
notified that the Republican Party had
chosen him as it's candidate for Presi-
dent, and in set speech he accepted
the nomination.
Mr.. Coolidge outlined the achieve
ments of the Republican Administra-
ton since Warren G. Harding sue
ceeded Woodrow Wilson as President
in March, 1921, gave his conception Of
what constituted Republican Party
faith, and stressed, more than any
thing else, that in the fact of much
talk of liberal thought and progress
sive action" the American people
wanted opportunity to work out their
own material and spiritual salvation"
through applying their common sense,
which he characterized as their great
est asset.
"The people" he said, want a gov
eminent of common sense"
In its obviously intentional omission
of partisan attack on his political riv-
ais, rather than by the positive decla-
ration it contained, the Presidents
speech Of acceptance gave new an
gle to political utterance.
1t confirmed the understanding that
the Presidents appeal to the electo-
rate for a continuance of the Republi-
can Party in Office would be based on
the work he has done and is doing in
the management of the Government,
instead of upon promises for the future.
Not once did he speak of the Demo
cratic Party, and his references to the
La Toilette movement were more in
ferential than direct and embodied
no mention Of La Toilette and his in
dependent party by name.
