Coolidge Silent
On Dawes Khan
Talk at Augusta

Plymouth, VT, Aug. 23-President
Coolidge gave himself into the hands
of his friends and neighbors today
and with Mrs. Coolidge and his faith
er spent the afternoon on the front
lawn of the family home here, shak-
ing hands and visiting.
If his mind was on the campaign
and its most recent developments
bringing the Ku KluH Khan into the
limelight, Mr.. Coolidge did not dis
close it. The booming of the first Of
fensive of the two parties, including
the address yesterday by John w
Davis, Democratic candidate, and
that today by Charles G. Dawes, the
Presidents running mate, came into
this quiet hamlet over newspaper
wires to the office of c. Bascom
Slemp, secretary to the President.
Slemp Carries Word
Last night Mr.. Slemp informed Mr..
Coolidge of the suggestion by John w.
Davis that the President join by lex
plicit declaration in eliminating
the Khan as a campaign issue.
Today Mr.. Slemp received word of
Mr.. Dawes speech and late this af-
ternoon reported it to the President.
Both messages were received without
comment by the Republican nominee.
1t was said earlier in the afternoon
by Mr.. Slemp that to his knowledge
the President knew nothing of the
proposed declaration by Mr.. Dawes
on the Khan. The silence of Mr.. Cool
idSe also made it impossible to pre-
dict. he said, what course he would
pursue in regard to Mr.. Davis speech.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Coolidge, except
for his social visit this afternoon, the
first with the townsfolk since he ar
rived week ago on his 12-day vaca-
ton, kept close to his fathers home,
in company only with members of his
family as usual.
For more than an hour this after
noon, the President and Mrs. Coolidge
stood in front of the family home and
received the callers, from all sections
of the state. 1t was the first really
public appearance of Mr.. Coolidge
since his arrival here and the rela-
tives, townsfolk and natives of this
section We're on hand.
Frederick B. Pierce, of Key, N. H.,
describing himself as one of the old
est Republican voters of this terri
tory was the first in line, which also
included the numerous cousins, neph-
ews, nieces, aunts. uncles and more
distant relatives of Mr.. Coolidge. The
President had a word of greeting for
each.
A clear day and bright sun devel-
oped one of the warmest afternoons
of their visit here and several of
those in line stopped to visit with
John Coolidge, the Presidents father,
who sat in the porch swing.
Earl Kinsley, Republican national
committeeman from Vermont and
Mrs. George Orvis, national commit
tee woman from this state, and Re-
preventative Gibson of Vermont, were
among the days callers, but the
President confined his talks to
friendly visits and renewing of old
acquaintances.
