WHITE PINE CAMP, N. z, July
people throughout the country that
President Coolidge will be candidate
for another term as President. accord
ing to the view expressed today by
Richard Washburn Child, former Am
bassador to Italy. who Is a guest Of
the President and Mrs. Coolidge at
White Pine Camp.
In his advocacy of another term for
President Coolidge. Mr.. Child stated
that his observations convince him that
there Is a real sentiment in favor of
the President and that the people
generally are we'll satisfied with his
manner Of conducting their affairs and
that they are not anxious for a
change. He feels positive that the
much talked Of third-term bugaboo
Of the past will not stand in the
way Of Calvin Coolidge If he will con-
sent TO becoming candidate to sue
ceed himself.
The people are so prosperous and
happy they will not bother with any
of the third-term argument, MIR. Child
said in advancing his opinions in this
respect The people, according to
him, are satisfied with what they can
rightfully look upon as a good thing
as he described the public appreciation
Of the President.
Favor Decentralization Policy.
President Coolidge apparently suits
their purposes" Mr.. Child said. The
people not only like his style and his
honesty but they credit him person
ally with contributing greatly toward
the peace and prosperity of the Ma
ton. Also the public gives him much
credit for preventing Washington
from becoming bureaucratic center.
In this respect the people favor his
efforts to prevent a Capitalization of
government in Washington and his
efforts to decentralize government.
BY his opposition to the centraliza-
ton of government, President Cool
idge, who has been generally looked
upon as a conservative New England
Republican, has out-J Jeffersoned Jeffer-
son himself in the so-called Jeffer-
sonian policy regarding States rights
and decentralization of government.
This policy of the Presidents has
struck a happy chord throughout the
country and, along with the other
accomplishments of his administra-
ton, it is easy to see why he is so
popular with the electorate. 1t is
easy also to see why the electorate,
according to Mr.. Child, is taking IL
for granted that the present admins
tration Is to continue in Office. The
Coolidge administration suits. the pur-
poses of the people and they want him
as President for another term.
Mr. Child said that since he. has
been at the Coolidge camp he and the
President have discussed a wide va.
riety of subjects. We said promi-
nent among them have been politics,
foreign conditions, the anti.AmericaD
demonstrations in several Of the for
eign countries, farm relief and crime
prevention.
Fears No Foreign Trouble.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Child that
no international developments of
serious nature will grow out of the
anti-American outbreaks in Europe.
He stated that he thinks this expires
sion of i'll feeling on the part of for
eigners and American tourists is not
as serious as it sounds and will soon
cease. He is of the opinion that the
ratification Of the terms for the settle
ment of the French debt will go a.
long way toward bringing about a
better feeling in that country.
Mr.. Child has been making a care
full study of the agricultural situation
and he was In a position to tell the
President that he did not think the
