Calvin Coolidge did not appear specially upset when he talked with new spaper men here Tuesday. n week before voting He was. in fact. considerably more talka= tive than usual. eouYersing with his guests over fifteen minutes, q mighty long time for him.
 He looked tired and worried, io be sure. and the lines on his forehead and about his mouth are maybe plainer than ordinarily. but he was outwardly calm and little pertarbed. One fact in his attire accustomed notice. He did not wear hia customary black horn fimmed spectaeles For the first time, as one recalls ca laliy, he wore what looked like gold-rimmed spectacles. He had his usually carefullypressed dark blue serge suit, and a dark blue neck tie

Not only has the state debt been wiped out but many taxes have been abolished or re- dueed during the past two years of Republican administration.
