significant that President Coolidge is
now very anxious to be regarded az
outside the campaign. Several days
ago Senator Lawrence c. Phipps, ma
t,onal chairman of the Republican
senatorial campaign committee. an
rounced the sole issue this year was
whether the electors wanted to suS-
tain President Coolidge or not.
"Then he dined with President
Coolidge and what was the result?
Yesterday Senator Phipps made a
new announcement of the campaign
issues, and the fate of Mr.. Coolidge
was not mentioned among them. Is
Is too much to suppose that Mr..
Coolidge told Senator Phipps he did
not want his fate determined by cleo
lions that give every promise of re-
sulting in a Democratic landslide?'
Senator Gerry's statement said
there was no basis Of fact for the
claim of nation wide prosperity sub

friends for the defunct Coolidge is
