a large crowd at the little station to
extend a cordial reception to these dis
tinguished visitors, and the thorough
fare over which the presidential party
rode during it's tour OF inspection was
gayly decorated for the occasion.
Battle Mountain, towering above
the town and upon which the Veter.
ans Hospital is located, wins its name
from a sanguinary battle many years
ago between the Sioux and Crow In
dams for the possession of the healing
waters at the foot OF the mountain.
The Sioux Indians were victorious,
and they are said to have brought
their sick from many miles around to
find health here.
This place is said to have been the
Sioux clinic for more years than any
white mans record can estimate. but
with the arrival of the white man In
this section these healing waters were
soon lost to the red man, and the
former have been using these waters
for their sick ever since. At least this

Enlisted men with fixed bayonets
served as guards at the field. The
only casualty of the day was the In
jury of three soldiers, who were run
over by an ambulance. They were
taken to a hospital, where their in
juries were said not to be serious.
The reviewing stand was filled with
notables headed by Gov. Wallace r.

skirted the field at time, doing stunts
and watching for the racing planes.
A band played popular airs.

JERSEY c. 0. P. ACTS
TO DRAFT COOLIDGE.
State Chairman Endorses
Club to Boom President
fo.c denomination.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

The New Jersey delegation to the
Republican national convention will
be unanimous for Calvin Coolidge, in
the opinion of f. c. Stokes, Repub-
lican State chairman, who has
tested sentiment in his State by
sending out a letter calling for the
organization of a Coolidge Draft
Club.
Mr.. Stokes, who is a former gov
ernor of the State and Is planning
to enter primaries himself for the
United States senatorship. disclosed
today that the replies from all over
New Jersey constituted the most re-
markable thing he had ever expert
enced in his long political career.
He said that although no funds We're
asked for or needed, he had received
many offers of voluntary contribu-
tions-something which he adds in
itself is unusual Business men and
business institutions have said In
their replies that they believed the
only way to get President Coolidge
to accept is to actually nominate him.
Confident of Acceptance.
Both Chairman William NJ. Butler
of the Republican national commit
tee and Charles .. Hilles, Republi-
can national committeeman from
New York, have written Mr.. Stokes
that they felt confident Mr.. Coolidge
would accept the nomination.
Senator Edge Of New Jersey has
advised Mr.. Stokes that he believes
the State delegation should go to the
national convention indorsing Mr..
Coolidge, so all elements in the party
organization are at the moment ready
to participate in the draft movement.
10 ha
sumption that Mr.. Coolidge was
sincere in his expressed preference
to retire, but that the call of duty
is greater than personal desire in
peace as we'll as in war.
Letter Endorses Draft.
Mr.. Stokes letter follows:
President Coolidge's announcement
is based on the principle that the PEG,
pie should select their candidate for
high offices rather than the candi.
dates select themselves. This Is a
governmental principle fnaugurated
by our forefathers and is a dutiable
exercise Of elf-government. I pro.
pose, therefore, formation of club
to crystalline what l believe to be
almost the unanimous sentiment of
this country, the nomination of Calvin
Coolidge as the next President Of the
United States. to be known as the
Coolidge Draft Club. We draft sol.
diers In time OF war, why should we
not draft officials in times Of peace?
Do you favor this move?"
Mr.. Stokes states that he has had
only two unfavorable replies out of
the many thousands OF letters he
sent out. He also said that in his
talks with leading Republicans and
leading business men he has asked
what candidate they would prefer IL
Mr.. Coolidge were eliminated, and
, invariably the answers are filled with
doubt and uncertainty. Mr.. Stokes
says that in nine months a candi.
dacy cannot be developed to the
point of unanimity in the party, and
that the very disunion which is be-
ginning to manifest itself over the
| matter of second choice to Mr.. Cool
| idge is sign that the party will find
| it politically wise to exercise the
power Of drafting the President for
! denomination.

great and the humble who knew FL
bert II. Gary and called him friend
gathered today at his bier to pay him
final tribute.
Funeral services in the beautiful
church which the steel master built
as a memorial to his parents brought
not only the kings and princes Of the
world of business. but also neighbors
and townsmen Of the farm boy who
rose to captain of a great industry.
There was brief ceremony arranged
at the church, with music by quar-
tet chosen by old friends of Mr.. Gary
who knew and respected his wishes
for simple rites. The funeral ser
mon was prepared by the Right Rev.
Frederick d. Leete. Methodist Bishop
of Indianapolis with prayers by Rev.
James T. Ladd OF Elgin. Rev. Ernest
Title of Evanston and Rev. A. NJ.
Pennewell. pastor of the Gary Me-
mortal Church.
Rests In Mausoleum.
A mausoleum built II years ago by
Mr.. Gary at a cost of $3.50, 900 was the
end of the journey. In it rests the
body Of Mr.. Gary's first wife. Nearby
i'll another plat of the small cemetery
lie the remains of his parents and
grandparents, whose lives SPAWNED
back to the days Of the colonies.
Honorary pallbearers were some OF
the leaders in the business world
who called the dead man their friend.
They included Vice President Charles
G.. Dawes, Charles NJ. Schwab. Nathan
l.. Miller, Senator Charles Deneen Of
Illinois, James A. Farrell, John J.
Mitchell and Frank o. Lowden.
The active pallbearers were 10 young
high school and college athletes, whose
services were required to bear the
heavy casket to it's grave. They were
chosen from the families of Mr.. Gary's
Wheaton friends. Among them were
Garland Grange. brother of RED"
Grange, and Victor Gustafson. cap
tain of the Northwestern University
foot ball team.
Throughout last night the body of
the dead steel master rested alone in
the hushed church. Outside a guard
kept watch.
1t was the second time since the
church was dedicated IS years ago
that Mr.. Gary had been within its
walls. The pressure of business mat
tiers had prevented the steel chief from
paying a promised visit time after
time.
But his continued absence from his
home town had not dulled the adj
miration and affection which it's citi-
zens held for Mr.. Gary. The entire
town joined in the sorrow which fol-
lowed his death. and in spirit II not
in person saw the illustrious citizen
laid to final rest.
The early life of Ebert H. Gary
as a member of his church in
Wheaton was pictured by the Rev.
]. L. Ladd of Elgin, retired Method
list preacher, in remarks at the
funeral service.
Rev. Ladd formerly was pastor of
the Wheaton church and based his
remarks on his friendship with Nj.
Gary in the years before he became
the captain Of the steel industry.
