HAMMERS IIkElY '10vOTE BITTERLY.
Expected To Blame Party In Power For Reverses Of
 The Year
By RAYMOND CHAPTER

(Leaseds Wire to The Age-Herald.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Overconfi- ! dence is the biggest danger that assnss :. ss iooss forward to ths \ coming. campaign. Political observers are pretty much II agreed that Coolidge has come \ through his first five months ih of. \ flee retaining the bulk of the good will which Is always bestowed upon a new executive.
 But, they are likewise agreed that many things can happen in the 10 months between now and election time. In fact, the campaign has not yet really begun. Coolidge has five months in which to show what he can do with Congress.
 Illus Two-Fold Task.
 There he has . two-fold task. first, he must push the Mellon tax legislation through. Second. he must prevent legislation to which he ts opposed such as the soldier bonus, and the excess profits tax. Cool idge is a believer in . hands-off policy toward Congress. He has . natural reluctance to demanding that Congress do this and that Congress not do that. Harding had the same reluctance, but he found that prac- tical necessity compelled him to use persuasion and cajoiery to impress his will on Congress. For he real ized that after all, the shortcomings Of Congress are laid on the door step of the White House at campaign time.
 And that for the welfare of his party, he was obliged to use such power as he possessed to get his YepfogPam through. ,/. 5 Coolidge can wash his hands of Congress, but he will be called to account in the campaign if he does.
 Then there is the situation of the farmers. Perhaps there Is little that the government can do, but never- theless debt-ridden farmers will go to the polls next November feeling that the party in power is to blame. ], Trey always do, in hard times.
 Coolidge also will have to take the responsibility for the policies of Secretary of State Hughes. The rough treatment of Russia will cause atscertSin amount of dissatisfaction. The sale of arms to the Obregon goy- ernment will be criticized severely. There will be an accumulation of grievances growing out of such in- cidents which will react against the administration.
 Thus, 1t will be seen that Cool idge has not yet reached the hurdles which he must clear before he can reach the tape next November. Mean while, his cautious friends are warn , ing him against overconfidence.

PRESIDENTIAL PARTY TAKE CRUISE IN COLD
Flu Seyerest Weather Of Winter
 Take MayfIower Trip


 WASHINGTON. Jan. 5.-Undeterred by bowling northwestern and the coldest weather of the winter, Presi- dent and Mrs. Coolidge and party of about 20 friends cruised for al- most seven hours today on the Poto- mac. k &'-
 The presidential yacht Mayflower put out from her dock at the navy yard about ? o'clock with the wind so strong 1t sent bluejackets' hats whirling. It. didn't appear, however, to affect the President-a man who was born and raised among the cold Vermont hills and who has been alarming his friends fro weeks by walking about Washington without an overcoat.
 When the Potomac itself was reached the wind became even more on. going down the river as far as Quantico, Va, before turning back. Below deck there was only the whistling of the wind through the rigging to remind one of the outside.
 Dinner was served at o'clock and just before the boat docked a motion picture show was given.
 The President at o'clock went to the wireless and pressed key which sent another ship-the steamship President Harrison-away from San Francisco on 8 trip around the world. The pressure of the Presidents fin ger sent a flash to the wireless sta ton at Rocky Point, Long Island, which relayed it across the continent to Marshall, Cal. The Marshall sta tion transmitted the flash to the President Harrison's radio, which was connected in such a. way as to blow the steamers whistle, the signal for departure.
 The party accompanying the Presi- dent and Mrs. Coolidge on the wintry cruise included Mrs. Herbert Hoover, Senators Spencer of Missouri and Mckinley of Illinois and Senator Fra zier of North Dakota and Mrs. Frazier
