PRESIDENT SHUNS
POLITICAL TALK
Republican National Commit
tee to Meet Here Dec. s to
Pick Convention City.
BY j. RUSSELL YOUNG.

The Republican national committee
will meet formally in Washington on
December 6, to select the city for the
next Republican convention.
Chairman William NJ. Butler of the
national committee said that he has
abandoned his original idea of NAM
ing subcommittee to handle the pre-
liminary work incident to considering
the various cities which are endeavor-
ing to land the convention. He indi
Gated that the series of meetings he
has been holding here during the past
week with members of the national
committee and others prominent in
the party's politics will be brought to
a close probably tomorrow and he
and the other committeeman will re-
turn to their homes.
If any of the national committee
men who have been attending the
party poW-woWs here during the past
few days had any hopes that Presl-
dent Coolidge would make some sort
of q definite pronOuncement regard
ing his decision to not succeed him.
self when they were his guests at
breakfast at the White House this
morning, they went away disap-
pointed.
Silent OH Politics.
The President received these party
fathfu,s in most cordial fashion
and provided a highly palatable break
fast. but he did not talk politics with
them, and throughout the meal he
followed his course of letting his L.
word Black Hills statement speak for
itself.
Associates of the President said at
the time 1T was announced that the
President had invited these party lead
ers to breakfast that there was no
occasion to attach significance to the
invitation, and from what the COM
mitteemen had to say after the break
fast it was evident that this was true.
Playing host to this company was
merely a means taken to extend some
hospitality to the party men. 1t also
afforded the President an opportunity
to renew old acquaintances.
Some of those who sat about the
table said afterward that they never
saw the President in a more cordial
or affable mood. He appeared very
happy to entertain them and surprised
many of them by his readiness at con.
VerSatiOn.
Talks About Weather.
He was represented as being actu-
ally talkative. He inquired about the
health of those with whom he talked
and commented upon the splendid
weather and appeared glad to speak
about the delightful Summer he had
in South Dakota. He mentioned
something about the world series ball
games to several who were sitting

he was in fine health and smilingly
added that he had come to the con-
clusion that. he is the healthiest man
who ever occupied the White House.
The Presidents breakfast company
assembled at o'clock and after few
moments of handshaking and ex-
changing of greetings. the President
ushered his 16 guests into the family
dining room and little time was lost
in entering upon the steaming meal

Almost every veteran holding an
adjilssed compensation certificate
has tried to get II loan on his certi-
ficatc at local banks. The banks
are authorized to lend veterans this
wear S per cent of the face value Of
their certificates. But the banks
don't have to do this. The banks
know that many veterans have no
idea of repaying the loans and in
case like that the banks have TO 20
thru Il, lot of red tape and wait FOR
months TO be- reimbursed by the l..
S. Treasury for loans advanced.
Elizabeth City banks are not eager
for such business, especially in
view of the fact that their resources
will be sorcly taxed to take care OF
the agricultural situation this
