Would Have Acceptpxl

MT. ltoraback still maintains that his opinion is President Coolidge would have accepted a renomina- ton.
 What made the Connecticut del egation hold out so long for Cool idge in the face of the Hoover land slide Mir. Rora back was asked.
 'Becallse the strongest statement ] had heard coming from him was that he did not want the nomina- tion,' Mir. Roraback replied.
 "At the same time after talking the matter over with party leaders. I came to the conclusion that Cool ldge would accept if his party called him. I talked things over with Will liam M. Butler. chairman of the ma - 'lonal committee; Andrew Mellon, Mr. Hilles and George Saunders, the presidents secretary, and could sec no reason why the party could not nominate the president
 Mir, Rora back then painted the picture of a majority suppor, for the president in evidence before Mir Ware took control of the Penna. delegation.
 My impression from talking with Mir. Butler was that the president had requested him not to vote for him." Mir. Roraback continued. hut when I asked Mir. Butler if that in inction was against him personally or extended 10 his friends, Mir. But Ter replied that the friends could do what they wanted"
 Mir. Roraback said that in his opinion Mr. Butler wanted the pres MT. Mellon and the others.
 The Connecticut delegation went to Kansas City determined 10 sup port any nomination for Coolidge, Mir. Rora back said, since it felt that the people Of the state wanted him and that his reelection was vital to the needs or New England.
 'Our belief that Coolidge was wanted was based on an attitude Of long standing.' Mir. Roraback went on. We believed that in having 8 New England president would be a big asset in these days when New England is organizing for its best interests
 Mir. Roraback said that Senator Bora h had expressed himself as de terlnincd 10 oppose any eastern"r for vice president since he did not consider even Mir Hoover a west erncr because the nominees associ- ations are mostly with eastern in tcr.StS
