Mr.. Coolidge can't afford to give the
impression that while not candidate
himself he doesn't want any one else
to get out actively and make the race.
Mr.. Coolidge's view is that the race is
a free-for-an. And, of course, if the
convention, after looking over all the
available candidates who have tried
to get a majority thinks none would
suit but the President himself, the
impression that Mr.. Coolidge did any
thing to get an extra term would even
more effectually be dispelled.
