 LOSING HIS GRIP ON WEST

WASHINGTON, ID. o., Jan. g. (E) -Is President Coolidge slipping in popularity?
 The question has been raised by the failure of the president to satis- fly the agricultural industry in his Chicago speech outlining his propos- ed agricultural policies, by the de- flection of republican leaders and their constituencies from the Cool idge leadership in agricultural mat ters, and by the critical attitude to- ward the president adopted by pow erful farm organizations since the Chicago speech and by talk emanat- ing from the western states on put ting forward former Governor Frank o. Lowden of Illinois, president Dawes or Senator Capper of Kansas, a farm candidate, flor the republican nomination for president in 1928.
 Defenders of the president profess to regard the agricultural revolt as only squall They enumerate the agriculture revolts of the last genera tion or two from the rise of pOpu- lism down to the mid-western upheav- al of 1922 and ask what republican they ever discomforted. So they think these squalls will blow over like the others.
