COOLIDGE LIKELY
TO QUIT SOON TO
TAKE CARYS JOB
Would Give Dawes Head
Start for Presidency
By CARL HAESSLER.
Federated Press.)

CHICAGO, Sept. 13.-The presi-
Dental boom for Charles G. Dawes
launched by the Chicago Tribune's
Washington correspondent on orders
from headquarters is the cause Of re-
markable political rumors, including
the sensational report that President
Calvin Coolidge will resign before the
end of his term. Since the totally
unexpected announcement Of Calls
last month that he does not choose to
run for president in 1928, politicians
are ready for almost anything from
the presidential lips.
The reasons given for the possible
abdication are twofold One is that
Coolidge is in line for a better job
and the other that the resignation
will help the right man to succeed
him. That man, according TO the
dope strengthened by the Tribune
boom, is Vice President Dawes.
Gary Died Too Soon.
1t is generally acknowledged in
financial and industrial circles that
Chairman Ebert H. Gary Of the steel
trust died bit too soon for the con-
venience of the Morgan oligarchy. 1t
had been fervently hoped that the
senile chief would hang on until Cool
idge could step up on March 4, 1929,
from the presidency of the United
States to the Craftsmanship of the u
S. Steel Corp. 1t may now become
necessary to hurry the happy event,
particularly as such an operation will
favor the fortunes of the Morgan in
terest in the Washington succession.
The race for the republican nomina-
ton which closes next June is a free
for-all with Hoover, Hughes, Dawes
and Lowden as the principal con-
tenders. Hoover is thought to be the
Morgan first choice, with Lowden re-
garded as nothing more than start
er who is not expected to finish
strong. Hughes is considered as a
last resort particularly since his
Standard Oil connection, his ad-
vanced age and his defeat in 1916 are
against him. Dawes is therefore the
ultimate choice of the financial inter
ests, who have no great hopes of put
ting their first choice on the ballot.
Wants To Help Dawes.
Should Cowboy Cal. stop fooling
away his time as Morgan's window
dresser in the White House and come
out in the open in the steel trust of
fices at II Broadway, it would give
Grown Prince Charlie Dawes the
prestige of the presidential office and
headstart for the 1928 nomination.
Dawes is considered agreeable to the
middle west, favors farm relief, has
voters because he comes from the
Middlewest, favors farm relief, has
sizable business following, has
made no bad bulls since 1928 and is
regarded as entitled to his reward for
putting up with the monotony of the
vice presidency for 4 years. Private
ly he fills the bill for the bankers be-
cause he is himself banker lin the
Standard Oils Central Trust Co. of
Chicago, has an international finan-
cial weather eye as shown in the
Dawes plan for Germany and is in
sympathy with the Morgan plan to
bring on a fascist regime in the
United States, at first in fact only
and then in form as we'll as in fact.
Calls promotion to the steel pay
roll would not be so sudden as might
be imagined. Since the days of
Roosevelt the president of the United
States has always been in close rela-
tions with the Morgan steel dynasty.
Roosevelt gave the trust the Tennes-
see Coal & Iron Co., Taft is to this
day pensioner to the tune of $4,000
year from steel trust securities,
Wilson gave Morgan the draft of the
Versailles treaty before the senate
got it and Coolidge owns 70 shares
of steel stock.
