the Coolidge administration.
Will Have 1928 Bearing.
What happens to Senator CUnmins
and to other Republican Senators and
Representatives in the West and Mid
die West in this campaign is almost
sure to have its effect on the Repub-
lican national convention in 1928,
Every time a stalwart supporter of
the Coolidge administration falls, pro-
vided any do fall, it will be used as
Il point of attack against the admins
tration. On the other hand. If the
supporters of the administration are
successful at the primaries and in the
election in November. so much
stronger will the administration be
considered.
/ The passage of legislation for the
benefit Of the farmer, provided 1t
really tackles the problem of putting
his dollar on an equality with that
of the industrial East, at the present
session of Congress would change the
situation greatly. The passage of the
McNary-Haugen bill in the Senate
before June Z doubtless would aid
Senator Cummins.
Without some such legislation, look
out for squalls. 1t is true that the
McNary-Haugen bill failed in the last
Congress and President Coolidge and
the Republicans were swept into
power again by an overwhelming
vote. But the country was then
emerging from a period of depression,
and the platform upon which Presi-
dent Coolidge ran pledged the party
to further aid for the farmers.
Thls aid so far has not materialized.
1t scarcely is conceivable that the Mid

tention 1t may tackle the job.
Lowden May Get Votes.
Unless something is done in regard
to farm-relief legislation some of these
Western States seem likely to send
their delegations to the next national
convention to vote for former Gov
Frank o. Lowden of Illinois. Lowden
knows the West, and the West wants
a man who knows 1t. This does not
mean that President Coolidge could
not be renominated or could not be re-
elected, even in such an event. But 1t
does mean that an opportunity would
be given to Western man to go into
the convention with a sizable batch
Of votes tucked in his pocket. and all
chances of a unanimous demand for
the denomination of President Cool
idge would be gone.
The demand out here for farm legis-

FORT FOOTE'S SALE
IS PLANNED AGAIN
No move to Make Park of
Tract, So Private Bids
Will Be Asked.

Acting on the theory that the Fort
Foote military reservation Is not to be
incorporated in the Federal park sys-
tenn of the District of Columbia, the
War Department for the second time
will offer that reservation for sale to
the highest bidder. This old aban'
doned fort is located on the left bank
Of the Potomac River in Prince
Georges County, Nd, diagonaliy op-
site the city of Alexandria, ana is
about 8 miles below this city. 1t GOV.
ers an area of a little more than Sc
acres and was formally ceded to the
United States for military purposes by
an act of the Legislature Of Maryland
approved April, 1872. 1t stands on
high bluff commanding a fine view of
the river and the Virginia shore, and
was formerly known as "Rozier'
Bluff
Since the removal of the batteries
originally installed there and its aba n
donment as fortification many years
ago as unnecessary to the defense of
the National Capital. the reservation
has been looked after by a caretaker
and frequently used by the residents
Of the vicinity as picnic and pleasure
ground.
Waived Park Rights.
Congress authorized its sale in
March, 1923, with the proviso that the
State Of Maryland or the County of
Prince Georges should have the option
of purchase at the appraised value for
park purposes only. The State and
the county authorities both waived
the option and the property was put
up for public sale by the War Depart
ment in the following Spring. At that
time the property was appraised at
$2.49S.
There was a general protest at that
time against the proposed sale of the
reservation to private interests, on
the part of various local bodies and
residents of this city, who argued
that because of it's great natural
beauty and accessibility, Fort Foote
should be incorporated into the park
ing system of the District, along with
Forts Washington and Hunt, further
down the river. The Secretary o1
War was so strongly impressed with
the strength Of their arguments that
he called off the sale of the Fort
Foote reservation, so that Congress
should have opportunity to recon
slider the decision.
Sale Called on.
Many bids had been received in
response to public advertisement and
were before the quartermaster gen
eral for opening, when he received
a telephone message from War De
partment directing him to return al
the bids unopened and announce thai
'the sale was off for the present.
Officials of the War Department
are not inclined to discuss the matter
in its present phase. beyond the gen
eral statement on the part of one Of
them that the congressional body ha.
shown no disposition whatever to re
consider its action of more than three
years ago and that the War Depart
ment is required to carry out the
law as it stands. New bids will bt
called for next week and opened early
in July.
