NOTHING DOING
ON 3 TERMS--CAL
THE PRESIDENTS SURPRISING
STATEMENT GIVEN OUT
AT RAPID CITY

RAPID CITY, S. D., Aug. g.
President Coolidge today issued a
statement saying:
81 do not choose to run for presi-
dent in 1925"
The statement, which was writ
ten on small pieces of paper was
handed out today by the presi-
dent on the fourth anniversary of
his becoming chief executive of
the United States, without COM
ment. Mr. Coolidge asked news
paper men to see him at II O'Clock
today.
Until a minute or two before
there was not the slightest know
ledge among the presidential staff
of what would occur at the con-
ference.
Shortly before 12 o'clock Mr..
Coolidge sent for his personal
stenographer, Edwin Geiser, and
dictated the brief message, which
was then transcribed onto small
pieces of paper by typewriter.
After the newspaper men had
come into the room, the president
asked them to file past him. He
handed each the small slip of
paper with the message. The
paper had been folded by him.
Has No Comment
Newspaper men stopped to ask
him if there was any comment
and Mr.. Coolidge replied not. The
dash for telephones and telegraph
wires was begun by the newspaper
men.
Besides the newspaper men,
there were in the room at the
time, Senator Capper, house
guest of the president; Everett
