COOLIDGE SM00THS
 OUT DIFFERENCES
Calms Clamor for Scalp Of Friend Butler

Washington. May (UP)-Presi- dent Coolidge has calmed the clamor for the scalp of his friend. Chair man William M. Butler of the re- publican national committee. and Butler will lead the Coolidge presi- dential campaign of 1928.
 This information developed today from a series of events following Buffers return from an inspection tour of the west and his announce ment that he intends to visit every state before the pre-convention pres- idential campaign opens.
 Buffers extensive tour will be de. signed not only to line up delegates for MT. Coolidge but also toward consolidating Buffers relations with sectional republican leaders over the country-which are reported to have been none too cordial recently.
 Several months ago Following Buffers defeat for tho senate in Massachusetts, republicans in con- gross began to talk of his possible resignation from the chairmanship. Butler has never been a political gladhander. and has made few friends among politicians on that basis.
 He brought new theory into tho conduct of a national political or ganization. assuming the quiet air of an executive rather than the gen. iality and affablity most political leaders exude. His enemies in the party were eager to seize upon his senatorial defeat as an opening wedge against him.
 Instead of quitting Butler is now expected to run for the senate again and at the same time retain chair manship. with MT. Coolidge heading the ticket, Buffers friends believe his chances of reelection in Massa- chusetts next year would be excel- lent. They point out that Coolidge influence elected Senator Gillett, rep. Mass. in 1924 by a narrow mar gin against Senator David I. Walsh. democrat. In the off-year of 1926 Butler was defeated by Walsh. | MT. Coolidge is understood to have sanctioned procedure which would keep his friend at the party helm and might place him in the | senate.
