that he intends to exert every pos
sible personal Nffort to keep party
lines intact in the bye elections
of 1926.
From David Mulvane, Repub-
lican national committeeman for
Kansas, came the first direct pre-
diction that President Coolidge
would again risk his political for
tunes in the next Presidential
election.
Takes Personal Hand.
From a number Of sources over
the weekend came the word thai
the President was taking a per-
sonal hand in directing the Sena-
torial elections of next year.
Mulvane. summering on the
north shore, will see the President
early this week for the first truly
political engagement of his vaca-
ton. The Kansan, admitted polIt.-
cal power in the middle West, is
ardently behind Mr.. Coolidge for
l928-this despite the fact that he
was the outstanding member Of
the opposition to Theodore Roose-
welt under exactly similar cond.-
tons.
He even predicted that the
third term" issue would not be
raised against Mr.. Coolidge. The
latter, he said, is so firmly en-
trenched in the hearts and minds
OF the American people that he
will not even suffer inter-party
opposition. 3
Insofar as State politics are con-

coming Senatorial elections in

Wherever the President has made
a public appearance thus far, But

Already. the President has made
an invasion of the Northwest IN
the interests of the Republican
organization. His recent trip to
Minneapolis and st. Paul has been
regarded generally as a gesture to
strengthen the party cause in a
section openly committed to the
third party movement.
Accompanying Mr.. Coolidge on
this trip was Senator Lenroot of
Wisconsin, who comes up for re-
election next year with the prospect
of stiff opposition from Governor
Blaine. Also figuring in the situa
ton in that State is the recent
death of Senator La Toilette, lead

by special election.
Another death, that of Senator
Laid, of North Dakota, who WAS

In Iowa, Senator Cummings,

up for reelection in 1926. Here
again, the Administration faces
more or less of a problem, pri-

Brookheart, acknowledged as one
of the insurgent leaders. The party
