Sandhouse of Sterling, Colo, State
commander of the American Legion.
The visit of this trio to the Black
Hills was primarily for the purpose
of inviting the President to attend
the State convention of the Amer
lean Legion, to be held at Sterling,
July rs, Is and 81. The President
took the invitation under considera-
ton.
"WilI Be Reelected"
During their visit the conversation
covered a variety of subjects, the
principal one being In connection with
farm relief legislation. The callers,
while favoring the McNary-Haugen
farm relief bill, made it plain that
they could not help admiring the
Presidents consistency in objecting to
this form of relief, and seemed to
think none the less of him even
though he did veto this legislation
last session.
Notwithstanding the fact that
differed with the President on the
farm relief legislation, can see moth.
ing but Coolidge SO far as the 1928
election is concerned" Representative
Undertake said after his visit to the
lodge. Without any question the
President is going to be renominated
and will be reelected"
Mr.. Undertake said that while pol
itics was discussed, the President did
not give the slightest intimation that
he will accept the nomination for an
other term.
Sees Tax Reduction.
1--WE noticed" he added, THAT
where the pressure was strongest in
the West for farm relief they realize
that the President exercised his pre-.
rogative as Executive according to his
best judgment--and he gave good and
substantial reasons for his action
There was a serious agricultural prob
lem, though, and I think this bill
would have helped"
Mr.. Undertake. q member of the
House ways and means committee
said he looked forward to substantial
tax reduction in the next Congress
but felt that the estimate of a $685.,
100000 surplus in the current fiscal
year was exaggerated"
II am figuring on about $3.50, 1000,
000,' he said.
Remaining taxes would be the first
to go, and the corporation tax might
be cut down to 10 per cent, he thought
He did not share Chairman Green's
uncertainty as to whether tax reduc
ton would be possible in the next SEES
sion, but conceded that the results OF
the Geneva arms conference might
have bearing on the question.

NELLIE ROSS SAYS G. O.P. FEAR

Governor.
Money Power Played by
Speaker on Chautau-
qua Tour.

Nellie Tayloe Ross of Wyoming
first woman to be elected governor
of an American State, Is now narrat'
ing on the chautauqua platform
hitherto unknown details of her brief
political career. Speaking this week
in Maryland and Virginia towns near
WASHINGTON, Mrs. Ross charged the
Republican party, acting through It's
national organization, with bringing
about her defeat for reelection last
wear. The former Wyoming executive
declared that the G, O. F., fearing II
might become necessary during 1871
or 1928 to fill the place of Senator
Francis j.. Warren, was determined
that no Democratic governor should
appOint his successor. Mr.. Warren Is
SO years old this month and serving
his sixth successive term. He is the
father of the Senate.
During my eubernatorial terms"
said Mrs. Ross. II vetoed a bill passed
by the Republican Legislature which
sought to deprive the governor of the
right to fill a vacancy in the United
States senatorship. The bill provided
for special elections for that purpose.
There was no attempt to repass it
over my veto. But it was ordained
that l should pay the penalty when l
came up for reelection In 1926. No
effort was made during the campaign
to conceal the paramount issue
against me.
Open Acknowledgement.
Republican managers openly &C
knowledged the prospective defeats of
Senators Butler of Massachusetts and
Wadsworth of New York. Wyoming
voters were told that Republican con-
troll of the next Senate would hang by
so slender a thread that it was neces-
sary for Wyoming TO assure continued
party supremacy in that body. The
overthrow of the Democratic State ad-
ministration was, therefore, depicted
as an urgent national party necessity,
in order that if Senator Warren should
disappear from the scene, a Republican
would be named to succeed him. l

total poll of some $1,000"
Mrs. Ross, who says, like Roosevelt,
that she had a corking time" in
Office, is addressing herself in the big
chautauqua tents mainly to women.
I'VE have it in our power" she tells
them, Ito speak new language in
politics. We have an opportunity to
houseclean public life. 1t is particularly
incumbent upon us to use our great
voting strength to keep dishonest men
out of high official places. We should
specialize in thwarting the illicit use
of money in primaries and elections.

larger than that of all New England
