!. A clever comedy entitled Naughty,

at Crandalls Metropolitan this week.
. The story is a farce and exceedingly
funny throughout. Miss Moore is cast
as back country heiress, who arrives
at a fashionable finishing school in a
Ilail-order costume and ideas to match.
However, she undergoes change, as
girls who go to finishing schools do,
and she blossoms out at the school

the comedy comes fast and furious.

of our own Washington Hotel. But
how changed it looks.

WESTINGHOUSE
LETTERN

WASHINGTON-The net result of
President Coolidge's remarkable an
nouncement at Rapid City has been
to throw a whole crop of political
experts into utmost confusion.
The president didn't say that ne
wasn't a candidate to succeed him.
self If he had, there might be
little less confusion. He said:
81 do not choose to run for president
in 1928"
That meant something, but it might
mean anything, and everyone in
Washington whose opinion was worth
seeking suggested different expiana-
ton.
If one mans guess is as good
as another's, then the suggestion is
presented herewith that the pres:-
dent meant to say in effect:
1.-THE president will not participate
in any dog fight. If his kennel can't
lick the other kennels, he is not going
to step in and dictate the result
One reason is that he doesn't care
to risk being chewed up and the
other reason is that such course
would be regarded as poor sports
manship."
So carefully worded a statement
as the one Mr.. Coolidge actually gave
and the fact that he refused to
amplify it in any way are strong
indications that the president hardly
meant that he was definitely refusing
reelection. If he had meant that,
there was little to restrain him from
saying just that.
It will be much easier for politicians
on the fence to express regret a.
the Coolidge withdrawal and go OH
their ways rejoicing, but the presi-
dents stroke may actually strengthen
his position. 1t is much harder
to shoot at a candidate who insists
that the office must seek the man,
and if Coolidge is not nominated, the
disappointment will be less embarraS-
sing than the crushing rebuff of
going after a nomination openly and
failing to get it.
1t is unlikely that Coolidge acted
without advice. 1t may even be that
he received strong hints from the
powerful forces behind the republican
party that there were stronger cam
didates than he and that if the party
were to win in 1928 it must be size
its standard bearer could hold the
great electoral vote of New York
against a candidate like AL Smith
There have been rumors that the
forces referred to had decided as
much several months ago.
