COOLIDGE BRINGS
 STORM 0F COMMENT
(Continued from First Page)

persistent that with MT. Coolidge eliminated. Secretary Hoover might feel himself free to get into the race along with Vice Presideit Dawes. Frank o. Lowden. Speaker Nicholas Longworth, Senator Borah and the others who have been classed as eli- gibles.
 Whether MT. Hoover would in- herit the Coolidge strength has been another subject of much specula- ton. Hoover has sided with Cool idge on many of the fighting points of his administration. including the vetoed McNary-Haugen bill some of whose features were endorsed by Dawes and Lowden.
 Notwithstanding the persistent Hoover talk in Washington, there has been no indication either from Hoover or from the White House that Hoover was being groomed as the administration candidate. Sev- eral months ago reports gained cur rency that there had been a rift be- tween the president and Hoover over talk that Hoover was to succeed Secretary Kellogg. At that time a statement by the president about that subject was interpreted in some quarters as a rebuke to Hoover. But tho president removed that idea by sending forth word from the White House which was highly laudatory to the secretary. On the surface. with the excep- ton of the Lowden candidacy. the activities on behalf of the other re- publican high lights have been un- ostentatious. Most of these men have been content to remain silent on political developments, and none of them have issued any public an- nouncement of their desire to en- ter the White House.
 There are many politicians in Washington who are waiting to see whether President Coolidge will amplify his statement of yesterday, but they confess they have little reason to believe he will do so. They concede that political develop ments between now and convention time may bring further announce ment from him.
 Meanwhile, those who have pride in their reputation as political fore casters, are saying little openly as to developments in the next few months.

Too Indefinite

Josephus Daniels, secretary of navy in the Wilson cabinet, in an editorial in the Raleigh. N. C., News and Observer, says:
 What does MT. Coolidge mean? Either he has been unfortunate in conveying his intention not to run or he chooses his declaration as the inauguration of a campaign for the nomination. which he will only make by being persuaded to depart from his personal desire. Mr.Cool- idge owes 1t to the country to speak again in terms which can be under stood"

Tired of Coolidge?

The Ashville, N. C., Citizen r"Nicholas Murray Butler was not speaking prophetically when he said Coolidge would not be candidate for third term. He knew the man and he knew the sentiment of the leaders of his party. who obviously are tired of Coolidge and think it is time to replace the mouse with a man. In this sentiment and not in the anti-third term sentiment, is to be found the genesis of the Coolidge renunciation."

Believes He Won't Run

Springfield Union:
 Tt has, of course, been fore gone conclusion that if the president would consent to run again or even if he remained silent he would be renominated by his party. Had he had any intentions of submitting to a. choice by his party, he would hardly have made such a statement at this time or at any time. We are inclined to think that he means that he will not run and also means that. if any further expression of re- nunciation is needed. it will be forthcoming"

Best Act of Career

 When history is written the an- nouncement by President Calvin Coolidge on Tuesday that he would not seek denomination may be rated as. the biggest act of his political career.

Cal Is Cautious

Worcester, Evening Post
 "I do not choose to run for pres ident in 192S.' In this brief, but dramatic announcement President Coolidge indicates that he does not elect to be the standard bearer or his party in the next national cleo tion. His use of the word choose reflects caution for its primary meaning is to select as the most desirable. Consequently, the state ment, startling though it seems to be, burns no bridges and lacks the finality it would have if it read: Under no circumstances will I run for president in 1928"

Clever Political Move

New Haven. Aug. P-Evening Register: President Coolidge's
 statement that he does not choose to run for president in 1s2S,' Is no less mystifying than it is surpris- ing. The president does not refuse
 to run again for office, nor does he
 say that he has any fundamental convictions against doing so. He merely makes a statement of per- sonal feeling. declining either to am- plify or interpret it. Although the
 statement may be taken as dismiss ing MT. Coolidge altogether from the
 ranks of possible 1928 candidates. it is interesting to look at it in the light of 8 shrewd political move. By saying that he does not choose to run again for the presidency. MT. Coolidge does not say that he would not do so if his party or the people demanded it. If he should become
 candidate under these conditions, no one could accuse him of unholy ambition to make himself a Caesar. By declaring that he does not want ! to be president again MT. Coolidge has stolen much of the fire of the
 anti-third termers. He seems to have 1 left the final decision up to the party land the people. If they want to
 Lreak the third term tradition, the
 responsibility will be theirs, not his.
New Britain herald., 1927-08-03
Providence. Evening Bulletin:

"In other words, ten months be- fore the republican convention, MT. Coolidge has dramatically and clev- erly passed the buck to the repub- lican leaders and to the country. The latter can either pick it up and nom- mate him or drop it and look for some other available candidate. Judging from the initial reaction to the terse presidential statement, many leaders and private citizens will be inclined to feel that the Cool idge asset to republican prestige should not be regarded lightly or dropped too suddenly.

Easier, But Harder

Waterbury, Aug. 3 R - The Waterbury American says:
 "Mr. Coolidge has made the de-
 cision easier in one respect, but
 harder in another. He has made it
 easier by depriving the democrats of their opportunity to charge that he is an avid third-termer, driven by personal ambition. But he has made it harder for those in his party who
 would gladly displace him If he were to declare outright, that in no cir-
 cumstances would he accept another nomination. In fairness to MT. Cool idge 1t may be assumed that he has not deliberately schemed to put the
 situation into this light. He is en- titled to the credit of a surmise that his attitude is genuinely detached and disinterested But the effect up- on the republican board of strategy is the same as if he had deliberately connived at making trouble for it. By leaving it to be inferred that he would consent to run again if he
 were called upon, he has, in effect, virtually put the party organization
 under the necessity of inviting him
 to be a candidate In order to es-
 cape the insinuation that it would repudiate him."

numerals even if 1t chose to accept them as irrevocable."
 New York Sun:
 '"The utterances naturally deserves to be read as it was written. While the president does not choose, he does not forbid. XXX
 "It may be that the president, re- sentful of assertions that he was carefully paving the way to his re- nomination, decided that he could best make his attitude clear by a declaration that he was neither an active nor a willing candidate. He has not explained why he does not choose to run next year; his reasons are his own business. But he has not said what he would do if the repub- lican national convention renominat- ed him."
 Boston Traveller: Silent as MT. Coolidge has been regarding his de- sires and aspirations. political ob- servers have deemed his acts an open book. They have pointed to his choice as a vacation spot in the middle west and his conciliatory at titude toward the farmers of late as tolerably sure proofs he would seek reelection. The, open book turns out to have a surprise ending"
 Boston Transcript:
 Calvin Coolidge declines reelec- tion to the presidency of the United States: an act whose approximate prototype is found in the refusal of George Washington to repeat him. self thrice to be elected to that high office. The familiar New England phrase employed by the president is capable of only one construction in this part of the country: I am un- willing to run for president in 1928 XXX We wish the president had been more explicit and Illuminating in his utterance, but it Is essentially char acteristic."
