BUTLER D|SAVOWS
PRESIDENTIAL AIM
Says Private Citizen Discuss

Having Ambitions.
by the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 14.-Dr.
Nicholas Murray Butler, president of
Columbia University. has declared
that he is not a candidate for the
Republican nomination for President
in 1928.
Claiming his recent remark that
calvin Coolidge would not be can
dldate for reelection has been in
terpreted as an indication that he
was seeking the Office, DR.. Butler
said that a private citizen discussing
public questions is often enormously
charged with being actuated by
political ambitions.
III a statement issued last night,
DR.. Butler emphatically denied that
he is a presidential aspirant.
For more than a generation we
have fallen into the habit of leaving
public discussion of political prln-
Ciples and policies almost exclusively
to office holders and candidates for
office" DR. Butler said. 1.-The result
is that when a private citizen dis
cusses public questions he is almost
certain to excite suspicion that he
does so because of desire for politi-
cal preferment."

Every trade has its stock of we'll
known yarns, but occasionally a
new one does occur, alas, in time
to become Il classic. A certain
welI-known newspaper man was
holding forth to a group of
writer's, among whom was rather
famous novelist. The journalist
was saying that he had recently
been engaged in revising the obitu-
aries held in readiness by his pa
per. Turning to the novelist, he
added loosely: I've just been
writing you up"
But the novelist, apparently, had
not been following very closely.
Waking up with a start, he asked
eagerly: when is it going to be
published?"
