Gov. John S. Fisher Of Pennsylvania,
who was one OF President Coolidge's
callers today. after an extensive trip
through the West and Middle West, Is
of the opinion that the country has not
reached any decision in attempts to
crystalline sentiment for any one OF
the several candidates for the Repub.
lican nomination for President.
The Pennsylvania executive believes
that the field is wide open" and that
the country at large is busy weighing
the capabilities of the various candi
dates.
There Is considerable sentiment for
President Coolidge, Gov. Fisher said.
but, he personally Is convinced that
the President has not the slightest de-
sire to be a candidate and that he does
not care to have any one work up sen.
timent in bis behalf.
Invited to Dedication.
The object Of Gov. Fishers call at
the White House was primarily to in
vite the President to the dedication Of
the statue to Gen. Meade, the hero of
Gettysburg. in the United States Bo-
tend the sesQuicentennial Of the meet
ing Of the Continental Congress at
York, Pa, October Is. He was accom-
panied to the White House by Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Mellon and j.
Blain Sutton of Pennsylvania.
While Gov. Fisher was willing to
discuss his political observations with
newspaper men after his conference
with the President, he stated that the
most striking thing Of his entire trip
through the West was the noticeable
lack Of a real demand from the people
in the farm sections for the McNary-
Haugen farm relief bill.
Sees Demand Lacking.
"'There is. Of course. some talk in
the West about the -Haugen
bill," he declared, "but the fact is that
most of that talk is among the active
politicians and political farmers. The
farmers themselves are not bothering
about this farm relief proposal. All
they want Is for crops to materialize,
present prices to keep their level and
then to rid themselves Of the burden
of mortgages. That is really what the
farmers are interested in. It is only
the politicians who are still advocat-
ing the McNary.Haugen bill and who
are agitating in favor Of extending
farm relief by legislation"
He said he was impressed by the
fact that the West Is not overly in.
terested at this time in presidential
probabilities. Since returning East
he finds that much the same situation
prevails. He contends that it is too
early to make predictions. He stated
that there Is very little talk in Penn

Still Continues.

The rush of buyers that started Sat
urday when the Lindbergh air mail
stamps were placed on sale here was
continuing today, and Postmaster

proximately $4,000 worth had been
disposed of, and some are still on
hand.
The first of the stamps sold in
Washington is in the possession of
Miss Grace Stevens, a timekeeper in
the Government Printing Office. Miss
Stevens reached the City Post Office at
o'clock Saturday morning and stood
before the window for an hour and
Is minutes. When the window opened
she bought a sheet of stamps.
Line Then Forms.
BY the time Miss Stevens bought
her stamps there was a line before
the window that stretched to the doors
of the post office. The line was there
all day long. Postmaster Mooney said
there was continuous st cam of rur-
chasers in the building all day. some
before the post office windows and
some upstairs at the Philatelic
Agency's Office.
In addition to the post office and
the philatelic agency they are on sale
in some of the department stores.
The stamps have been sold in large
quantities. One purchaser bought
$500 worth Saturday and another
bought $400 worth. The stamps sell
for 10 cents apiece.
DeIuged With Letters.
Mr.. Mooney has been deluged with
letters from collectors. he said today.
Most of them sent letters requesting
that an envelope be mailed to them
with one of the stamps upon it.
The cancellation of the stamp by the
Washington post Office is believed to
increase it's value.
