tionai committeeman. says:
II do not consider that IL President
Coolidge is nominated and elected
again he would be serving q third
term, and if such should be the ca Sc.
would be a serious obstacle either In
the nomination or the election of
President Coolidge in 1928, I consider
also that President Coolidge Is the
logical candidate. I think today that
he stands in the eyes Of the peonle
OF New England as strong as ever"
Mrs Guy p. 0annett, Republican
national committeewoman for Maine,

Representative J. Will Taylor, Re.
publican national committeeman for
Tennessee. says:
~ do not consider that IL President
Coolidge were a candidate to succeed
himself in 1923 it could legitimately
be construed as candidacy for third
term, however much effort might be
expended to misrepresent it. l think
President Coolidge is the choice of the
large majority of the Republicans of
the country for President in 1928. and
If he consents to run l predict he will
be nominated without serious opposi-
tion and triumphantly elected. He is,
in my opinion, the logical candidate
and the strongest possible candidate
the party can present"

Mrs. Gladys Terhune. Republican
national committeewoman for Idaho,
says;
while another term for President
Coolidge would not legally constitute
a third term, it would be regarded as
such by the majority of the voters.
1t has proven serious obstacle to
other. denominations. Why not to
Coolidge? You would expect nv
answer to your third question Us
President Coolidge the logical candi-
date of the Republican party in 192S?)
to reflect the sentiment of the people
in this State rather than my own
personal feeling in the matter. Poll.
ties has not yet been discussed
enough for sentiment to crystalline,
but this Is strictly an agricultural
community and l would not expect it
to be overwhelmingly in favor Of
Coolidge"
Charles A.. McCloud. Republican ma.
tionai committeeman for Nebraska.
says: .-t ..3
Political conditions in Nebraska
are in a chaotic state. Voters are
drifting around and do not know at
this time what they will want at
primary time in 1928. There is some
objection to President Coolidge on
account OF third term and others
are opposed to him on account Of his
veto OF the McNary. .Haugen bill. 1t is
too early to make a forecast as to
the political sentiment in regard to
dent has many warm political friends
In Nebraska. It is entirely too early
to make an estimate of political con.
ditions in this State. So many things
could happen between now and the
primary date to entirely change the
situation
Mrs. II. H. Foster. Republican ma
tional committeewoman for Arkansas,
says:
Upon the death of President Hard
ing. Vice President Coolidge tby law)
became Chief Magistrate. or acting
President Technically, officially, Mr..
Coolidge has been President Of the
United States only one term.
Therefore, the third term issue
does not merit even challenge.
president Roosevelt ruled the
minds and hearts of the people by
being very outspoken. President
Coolidge manages us no less truly in
a totally different way. President
Roosevelt announced to the world that
he would not succeed himself. Presi.
dent Coolidge is our 'Brer Rabbit
President He's layin' low, pearin''
out behind de bushes. When de
time comes, he'll hop"
r. B. Creager,. Republican national
committeeman for Texas. says the
thfrd.term issue would not lie against
President Coolidge. that it would not
halt him and that he is the logical
candidate OF the Republican party in
1923.
II may add" says Mr.. Creager,
that the third.term 'bugaboo' viii be
used by the Democrats am others
who are opposed to M Coolidge. but
viii not have the slightest effect on the
great majority OF American citizens,
who. beyond any question, favor his
return to office in 1928. Literally
hundreds Of thousands of saner Demo
Gratis OF the country will vote for Mr..
Coolidge on his record and against
any Democratic nominee. II Al Smith
is the Democratic nominee there will
be real chance of the electoral votes
or Texas going to Coolidge"
