Decision Made Yesterday.
1t was not until yesterday after
seeing William M. Butler, chairman
tee. that the President made A def. l..
mite decision about a vacation. Mr..
Butler brought to him very salts
factory reports about the political
situation and told the President that
| he should take advantage OF the sit :
uation and obtain a short rest. I'ne
| President, who is not unmindful OF
the fact that he has been on the lob
constantly since he assumed office
more than year ago, and who mas
heat Of the past week. very readily
yielded to his campaign manager's
| urging.
Party leaders and managers will be
| forced to await the Presidents return
| before deciding several important
| matters regarding the conduct of the
campaign, inasmuch as word is to be
| passed along that the President does
not want to be bothered with politics
or politicians or work Of any kind
! during these few days Of rest.
The report made to the President
| By Chairman Butler corresponds with
those the President has received from
other party leaders. who have been
| coming to him during the past few
weeks. There is every indication
| that the Presidents candidacy Is in
creasing in favor in the Middle West
and the Northwest and with. the
proper political management and Or
Eanization these States in the So
called La Toilette stronghold can all
be carried by Mr.. Coolidge. Mr.. But
Ter, who is staying at the White
House, will remain here throughout
| the coming week; or at least until
the day following the acceptance
speech.
