President To Give Most Of Time To Duties Of
 Office After Speech

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-President Coolidge, after delivering his speech of acceptance Thursday night, in which he will announce the principles on which he stands for election, will place the campaign largely in the hands of republican national committee and his advisers.
 Mir. Coolidge told visitors today he : had found the duties of the presidency demanded fully of his time and added that he expected to devote most of his attention during the campaign to his office.

Coolidge looked over for < few minutes this afternoon the audi torium in which the exercises will be held-Memorial Continental hall, na- tional home of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and located near the White House.
 Plans have been made to carry the address to every section of the country east of the Rocky mountains by radio, and it is estimated an audience of 25,000,0O0 will listen in.
 Butler To Preside
 The exercises will start at 8 o'clock, eastern standard time, at the call of Mir. Butler, who will preside. The Rev. Jason Noble Pierce, pastor of the First - Congregational church here, which the President and Mrs. Coolidge attend, will pronounce the invocation. Frank W.

PLAYS TARIFF STAND
Failure To Meet Immigration Problem
 Also Hit By Secretary Davis

CHICAGO, Aug. 12.-Secretary of Labor James J. Davis conferred today with Representative Saunders, chair man of the speakers bureau of the re- publican organization, on dates for the secretary's speeches in the Coolidge Dawes campaign. The acceptance speech last night of John w. Davis, democratic president candidate, especially the dem ocratic non-protective tariff tendencies, were criticised by Secretary Davis.
 Not only did Mir. Davis not treat the immigration problem" the secretary said, 'but the democratic platform did not do so. What do they want to do admit the 1O,OO0,OOO Europeans that are marshalled for a drive against us, who are eagerly awaiting an adminis- tration that would permit them to swarm over for the jobs of our own people?
