These were today's outstanding
decisions las indicated at the
White House-in the bitter fac.
tional fight that developed in the
Republican party as a result Of
Buffers tactics in attempting to
control the convention ct Cleve-
land last week. Strenuous efforts
will be made to keep both men
in the party councils.
Coolidge Backs Butler.
1t was made clear however, that
Mr.. Coolidge intends to stick" with
Butler, his personal friend and
choice.
The White House contends that
much Of the criticism Of the ma
tional committees new chairman
has been unjust: that personal and
petty likes and dislikes were inject.
ed into the situation, and that no
Presidential manages ever faced
harder task at q convention than
Butler did.
That Slemp was mad" cannot be
denied. When he arrived at the
White House Monday for a show
down there were indications he had
his resignation in his pocket.
Apparently Satisfied.
But when he left for Cincinnati,
he apparently was well satisfied
with his talk with the President.
He concluded his statement deny.
ing am intention Of resigning by,
saying when he returned he would
have a place on the advisory com.
mittee Of the Republican national
committee, in whose hands would
be the real management Of the
campaign"
AS against this, other White
House spokesman today, said the
advisory committee would be just
what its name impiied-"advisory"
and that its function would be to
aid, not Supersede Mr.. Butler. They
want Slemp, but they also want
Butler.
