Think COOLIDGE
MAY SPEAK SOON
Liable to Aid Hoover in
Massachusetts,

Washington, Sept 2S.-LP-
Frank statements of some party
leaders who have called on Herbert
Hoover recently concerning the re-
publican prospects in Massachusetts,.
the home state of President Cool
idge, have served to revive specula-
ton as to what part the chief exc
cutive is to play in the presidential
campaign.
Mr.. Coolidge and his successor as
the head of the republican party
have conferred on this subject but
there has been no announcement be-
yond the mere statement that the
chief executive wants to be as help
full as possible.
Since that procurement word
has gone around in some political
circles that Mr.. Coolidge content
plates making at least one speech
before election day and, since his
party appears to be having its
troubles in his own state, the natur-
al assumption has been that he
would speak there.
Won't BE the First
Political observers who have dug
into the records of the past HAY e
found plenty of instances of a pres
ident actively participating in a cam
paign in which his own political for
| tunes were not at stake, but there
are few instances of a chief eXecu-
tive directly urging the voters to
support the presidential candidate
of his party.
President Coolidge has chung
scrupulously to the precedents in
such matters and should he decide
to make an address in or out of his
home state he would be expected by
those who profess to know him best
| to confine himself to review of the
party record under past admlnistra-
tons and of an exposition of his
own ideas OF the benefits that might
| flow to the country by a continuation
Of republican policies.

The following spring Mr.. Ford
built a 100000 mooring mast at the
airport.
Detroit is on the itinerary Of the
Graf Zeppelin on its projected tour
after reaching the United States and
thus it is that Mr.. Ford may take
the ride he spoke Of in 1924.
