Right upon the heels of Senator
Capper. who left the camp at noon
for Magnolia, Mass, came Senator
James Wadsworth, jr., of New York,
Republican leader of this State, who
is engaged in spirited campaign for
reelection. With his arrival the
President again was afforded an OPP
portunity to indulge in one of his
strongest fancies, that of talking
politics. Since coming to the Adiron-
dacks the President has heard and
read much about the senatorial cam
paign in this State, and he had ex.
pressed a keen desire to hear from
the Senator personally just what the
prospects are.
Another guest to depart today from
the Coolidge camp was Julius Rosen-
valid, directing head of Sears, Roe
buck Chicago mail order house. who
came to White Pine Camp Wednes-
day. He told newspaper men that the
President asked him to come and tell
him about the business situation of
the country and to offer any sugges-
lions he may have to improve things.
He declared. however, that he learned
more from the President than the
President. did from him.

knowledge of conditions throughout
the country" Mr.. Rosenwald said. 81

| all of which were taken to indicate
| that business is better than was an.
| ticipated earlier in the year There
| was one significant thing about these
| figures that was especially interest
ing and pleasing to the President, and
| that WAS the apparent prosperity in
| the Middle West. The President has
| heard all sorts of conflicting tales
| about conditions in that section, and
he was naturally happy to see cold
