WOULD LIMIT SPEECHES

President Coolidge has made it
clear to the Republican national
4sRders that he desires the G. o. P.
presidential campaign conducted in
diEnified fashion, without resort
sither to personalities or to bizarre
advertising methods. He has used
the bit upon some of the champing
Republican strategists who desire to
tear loose regardless, with personal
attacks on John w. Davis and Sen
ator La Toilette.
1t is related that one Republican
enthusiast ordered some large bal
looms with pictures of Coolidge and
Dawes and appropriate legends upon
them. The balloons are now in stor-
age, as attempts to win the consent
of the President to their use have so
far proved unavailing. This incident
showed some that the President is
keeping closely in touch with cam
paign Developments and never will
allow the reins of authority to be far
away from his hands at any time.

Stumping Is Considered.
While there has been no change in
the Presidents plans to remain on
the job here. the advisability of max
ing a few speeches in important key
cities later in the campaign is con-
stantly under discussion in admins
trative circles. Some do not believe
the radio will play such an impor-
tant part in the campaign as has
been predicted. 1t will have its place,
O. necessary one, all agree, but some
who have given much attention to
the matter doubt whether it will be-
come the most important avenue Of
reaching the voters.
Their thought Is principally that
after a half dozen or a dozen impor-
tant speeches by the major presiden-
tial candidates have been broadcast
interest may begin to wane. They
cite other possible drawbacks-those
who haven't radio equipment; those
who will not care to go to a hall to
hear speech by radio. The radio
fans believe. however, that If local
managers build attractive programs
around 1t, broadcasting of a major
presidential speech will prove an at
traction almost anywhere.

political speeches Is over. Whatever

period I was not dependent upon him.
My husband died in 1919. Then I be-
came dependent upon my son. He
