that he does not want the nomination
and that he feels that he would be of
greater service to ALL concerned by
staying in the Senate, where he could
vote and could voice his opiniono on

siding of1icer of the Senate. While he
observed that being Vice Presid en- {
would not prevent him from making

that "it would not be becoming or

COOLIDGE CHARACTER
PARAMOUNT" ISSUE
Campaign Shaped Mainly on Per
sonal Integrity of President
and "Reguladty."
SENSE OF HUM0R EXToLLED
Nominator Stresses This Trait to
Offset Popular View.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE,


CONVENTION HALL, CLEVELAND,
Ohio, June 12.-Calvin Coolidge goes
TO the country on the twin issues OF
his personal character and Republi-
can regularity. Convention events of
last night and today made plain the
lines on which the battle of 1924 will
be fought. The frenzied enthusiasm.
mounting almost to ferocity, with
which the La Toilette onslaught
against the majority platform report
was rolled back was the real index
of the conventions spirit.
1t was the spirit of old-time stall
wart Republicanism-reac Re
publiSanism, it's foes are bound to
call it-insisting that uncompromis-
ing loyalty to party principles must
be yielded by every man and woman
who considers himself or herself a
Republican. The convention cheered
itself hoarse at every suggestion Of
that kind.
1t expects Calvin Coolidge to preach
that doctrine virtually to the e1clu-
sion of the more or less stereotyped
platitudes, which comprise the ma :
tional platform. II believes that at
least the full Republican vote Of the
banner.
Burton's Keen Analysis.
II the repulse OF the La Toilette
insurgents hoisted high the flag OF
Republican regularity. the nominal
ing speech OF Marion Leroy Burton
elevated TO even greater attitudes the
personality of Calvin Coolidge as a
campaign issue. Speeches placing
men in nomination for the presidency
are traditionally personal and in
dividual. They are expected to be
superlatively eulogistic. But there
has seldom, if ever. been a nominal
ing speech which was 50 penetrating
an analysis Of character as Burton's ;
X-ray of the President.
My function is to present the man,
The emphasis must be just there,
executive at the outset of his address.
Then he proceeded to present not only
Coolidge the man, but even Coolidge
the boy. The speech was an avowed
attempt to place character even above
capacity as the prime requisite which
the people of the United States look
for in their President.
Cleveland has now shown in thou
sand ways that Coolidge will fight
the 1924 campaign boldly on his ad-
min ist rative record with Congress
He will lay less stress on the imme-
diate issues nvolved-bonus, taxa :
tion. immigration and the World
Court-and emphasize the failures of
a so-called Republican Congress to
support a Republican President in the
execution of his major policies
Stronger Than Congress.
The President plainly calculates
that he is stronger with the people
than Congress is. He is ready for a
trial of strength on that score. He is
prepared to show that if he had had
organization support on Capitol Hill
in Washington, national needs would
have been more speedily and more ef-
fectively met. He will not shrin k
from asking condemnation and an
nihilation of the La Follettes and
the BYookharts, who, by wrecking
party unity, made party achievement
impossible. In effect, Coolidge will
invite Republican irreEulars to quit
masquerading in G. o. P. raiment and
permit real Republicans' to legis-
Late and rule in the party's name.

Last Day Of Convention Married. BY Thrilling Outo and Interest,"
President Hears
Self Nominated
By Radio IL, Study

President Coolidge, sitting be-
fore a radio receiving set in the
White House today, heard the
swelling chorus by which he was
nominated to lead the Republican
party in the next campaign.
With Mrs. Coolidge. the Presi-
dent was in the White House
when the vote was taken. 1t was
said he would make no formal
statement at this time on the
action of the Republican conven-
ton
During the hour preceding his
nomination President Coolidge
heard the details Of the con-
tion's proceedings. He gave no
outward manifestation when the
voting was completed.
Throughout the Gay, with a few
exceptions, the President stuck to
his usual program. Conferences
were held during the morning
with various callers and at noon
Mr. Coolidge shook hands with a
long line of school children viSi-
tors.

ice December 5, 1868. 1t is a circular
brick tunnel, nine feet in diameter.
conveying the water for the entire
city from a dam at Great Falls, a
distance of nine and one-half miles,
to the Dalecarlia reservoir at the
District line. At this point, the water
is allowed to settle, and then con-
tinues to flow two miles further to
the Georgetown reservoir.
The entire supply for the city then
is taken through the Lydecker tunnel
from Georgetown to the filtration
plant at 1st and Bryant streets.
There the water is lifted by pumps. a
distance OF twenty-one feet, to the
filter bed.
The water for the downtown Sec
ton flows by gravity, directly from
higher sections Of the city, tie water
flows to distribution reservoirs. from
which it is pumped to the various
neigh borhoods.
For number of years federal and
District officials have been calling at
tention to the need for a second con-
duit. not only to take care of the
growth of the city, but to relieve the
necessity. of depending solely upon
one supply line.
Debated in Congress-.
Only a week ago the Senate and
House were deliberating over how
much they should appropriate for
continuing work on the new conduit
during the next twelve months. The
House allowed only $s0o,000 while
the Senate voted for $2.5oo,o 900. When
the bill went to conference the con-
ferees compromised on $500, 900,
which was about twice what the
House had allowed, but a million less
than the Senate was willing to give.
With the sudden growth in popula-
tion during and after the war, the
daily consumption Of water has in
creased greatly. and for several
years the repair work on the con-
duit has been difficult to carry on be-
cause of the heavy use of water.
Officials familiar with the water
system. however. say that break in
the conduit is not nearly so serious
and is easier to repair than would
be similar accident in the Lydecker
tunnel.
This latter tunnel also has had to
remain in service with practically no
repair work because Of the increased
consumption Of water and the fact
that it carries the supply to tho 6l-
tration plant
1t was pointed out today that the
work of mending the conduit is rem
dered easy by the fact that the water
Evening star., 1924-06-12
is not under pressure in coming from
Great Falls, but flows by gravity.
Mere Help Promised


When the new water supply prof.
ect is completed, the city will not
have to rely entirely on the existing
filtration plant at 1st street. since the
plan calls for a supplemental filtra-
tion plant near the Dalecarlia reser-
voir of the District line in the north
west.
1t is the opinion Of persons familiar
with the water system that the old
conduit has held up remarkably well,
considering it's years Of steady use.
Whom plans for the old supply line
were being prepa red prior to 1860,
the population of Washington and
George town was not much more than
so, 900 Inhabitants. Today. the popu :
lation is close to the 450, 900 mark,
giving some idea Of the extent to
which the engineers look ed ahead in
planning the water system.
For q number Of years past, how
ever. the city has been consuming
close to the daily safe capacity of the
conduit, and efforts have been made
both by officials and local orEaniza-
tions to have Congress speed up ap-
propriations for completion of the
new project.
When they heard of the accident
today. Joseph Hook. president Of the
Arundel Construction Company, the
arm building the new conduit, and
his chief engineer, Joseph Hogan,
rushed here Immediately from Phila-
delphia to meet any emergency that
may ariSe.

Before Mr.. Ford started making
his own battery for the Ford car, the
average price of popular batteries
was $3.50 at pre-war prices. BY
modern methods of construction
combined with the Ford efficiency
methods, Mr.. Ford has brought the
price down to one-half OF the former
price. These Ford batteries are suit
able for ninety percent of all cars

 We have no money to bestow. upon
 class of people that is not taken from the whole people. Our first con. cern must be the. nation as q whole
 This outweighs in it's importance the
 consideration of a class and the latter
 must yield to the former. The one
 compelling desire and demand of the
 people today, irrespective of party or class, is for tax relief. The people have labored during the last six years
 under heavy tax burden. This was
 necessary to meet the extraordinary costs cs war. This heavy assessment has b,en met willingly and without \ complaint.
 I've have now reached financial condition which permits us to tighten this tax burden. If this bill becomes law, we wipe out at once almost all the progress five hard years have accomplished in reducing 1 the national debt If we now confer upon class a gratuity such as is con templated by this bill we diminish to the extent of the expenditures involved the benefits of reduced taxes which will flow not only to this class, but to the entire people.
 When it is considered that less than $40 a year would pay for the average [ policy provided by this bill, there is strong ground to assume that the veterans themselves would be better of to make that small pyament and be i relieved of the attendant high taxes and high living costs which such legis- lation would impose upon them. Ger tainly the country would. We have hardly .an economic ill today which cannot be attributed directly or in. directly to high taxes.
 Must Reduce Taxes
 "The prosperity Of the nation, which is the prosperity of the people, rests primarily on reducing the existing tax burden. No other action would so en- courage business. No other legislative enactment would do so much to relieve agriculture. The drastic executive campaign for economy in government expenditures has but one purpose that its benefits may accrue 10 the whole people in the form of reduction in taxes. I cannot recede from this purpose. I am for the interests of the whole people. The expenditures pro- posed in this bill are against the in terests of the whole people. I do not believe they are for the benefit of the veterans.
 ''The running expenses of the govern ment for services and supplies must be met. Certain other obligations in the nature of investents for improvements and buildings are necessary. and often result in saving.
 The debts of the nation must be paid. i The sum of all these is a tremendous amount. At the present rate it is near Iy $35 for each resident of our coun- try, or $1T5 for each average family every year, and must be for some time. This bill calls for further expenditure
