WASHINGTON LETTER
Continued from Page u

Continued from Page ~
We're Of the opinion that Candi-
date Dawes would offset to a
large extent the retalitory action
of the so-called soldiers vote,
if any, as the outcome of the
Presidents veto Of the Bonus bill.
There is another angle to the
selection of Dawes as the pro-
posed Vice President. There has
been some talk that Dawes was
not the favorite "fair-haired boy
among the list of eligibles for the
nomination. but he is acceptable
principally because he does not
bear the Senate stamp. 1t was
everywhere apparent at the con-
vention that the Coolidge forces
were maneuvering for a running
mate who had no connection with
the Senatorial body. Senators
freely admit that General Dawes
will prove stern taskmaster in
sofar as the rules of the Senate
permit a presiding officer to show
executive ability--in event. OF
course, that he is elected to the
office.
Perhaps the most noteworthy
development of the convention
held in Cleveland was the out
cropping of hostility among the
old-time party leaders toward
William M. Butler. of Massachus.
etts, designated by President
Coolidge as his spokesman. and
subsequently elected chairman oi
the National Republican commit.
tee. The resentment was voiced
in the caucuses of various state
delegations at the convention
and on the return Of leaders. A
digest of the various opinions in.
dicates that the party4eaders re.
gard Butler as an arbitrary indi,
vidual who has been singularly
successful in business but moi
thoroughly acquainted with the
ways of politics. Many have gone
SO far as to lay the charge OF
ineptitude at his door. but the
principal complaint is apparently
based on his alleged tactical err.
rors in the management of the
convention. On the other hand
Mr.. Buffers supporters contend.
that a disciplinarian of his type
is necessary in these hectic days
when party leadership is a mere
empty phrase. 1t is argued that
the heretofore designated party
leaders have not made good their
promises of party control, espec-
tally in Congress, and the time
