Coolidge Opposed
To Petition For
His denomination
by United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Presi-
dent Coolidge is opposed to c1rcula-
tion of a petition proposing that he
run for president in 1928, it was
stated at the White House authori-
tatively today.
The authoritative announcement
the first of its kind since the "I
do not choose to rum statement in
the Black Hills last summer-im-
mediately provoked divergences of
opinion as to whether it further
eliminated the president as 1923
presidential possibility or whether it
still left the way open for draft
ing' him in the convention.
Some saw in the announcement
disinclination on the president IS
part to run. But others argued that
it still left his hands united and
that he could answer a convention
call without the possible stigma of
having sought the denomination.
The revelation followed reports in
the morning newspapers that "end-
less chain" petitions urging him to
run again had been circulated in
New England with view to arous-
ing general popular demand for
his denomination.
1t was said on behalf'of the pres
ident that he does not approve of
this activity; does not see any good
that would come from it and hopes
it will be discontinued.

life at U. s. Military Academy at
West Point, spent strenuous period
of four weeks during the filming OF
the photoplav at the Academy. The
picture will be on view at the Valley
theater tomorrow and Thursday
night.
Boyd got many a thrill for being
mistaken for a real "Plcbe' and
took many call-downs humbly with
out protest.
One day while he was strolling
from location in the barracks, he
happened to be smoking a cigarette.
An upper classman called him to
attention, and ordered him to take
that "snag out of his mouth, !"
which he did. The plebes are not al
lowed to walk across the area which
is the quadrangle surrounded by the
barracks, but they have to go on a
dog trot and more than once did

George 'Brien has had many
fights in his screen career, but it
is doubtful whether he has ever had
more realistic encounter than that
in which he figures with William

In this production Powell, east as

at is, of course, not to be sup
posed that the President desires
trouble with Mexico, but the very
severe references to that country in
his Nicaraguan message can but serve
to stimulate the propaganda which
has the definite purpose of bringing
about intervention.
THE government of Mexico seems
to be arraigned for recognizing Sacasa
as President of Nicaragua instead of
DiaZ, and for allowing arms and mu-
nitions to be furnished the former.
But Mexico has the same right to
recognize and countenance the assist
ance of Sacasa as the United States
has to recognize and countenance the
assistance of Diaz.
