 Makes Speech
 Just before leaving Vermont. which probably he will not see again while chief executive. MT, Coolidge in an extemporaneous rear platform speech thanked its peo- pie for their cordiality to him.
 It was the first such speech he has delivered since he came to the White House.
 Selecting Bennington, his last stop in Vermont, MT. Coolidge satisfied the roaring demands of over i've thousand people gathered at the station and. obviously much moved. spoke of his love for his native state and praised its reconstruction work after last years floods.
 Tt is gratifying to note the splen- did recovery from the great catas- trophs which overlook the state nearly year ago." Preaident Cool idgs said.
 Transportation has been restor- cd. Railroads are in better condi-- tion than before. Highways are now open to traffic for those who would travel by automobile.
 Loves Vermont
 "Vermont is a state I love. I could not look upon the peaks of Ascutney, Whittier and Mansfield without being moved in . way that no other scene could move me.
 Tt was here I first saw the light of day; here I received my bride; here my dead lie pillowed among the everlasting hills. love Vermont because of her hills and valleys. The scenery and invigorating climate. But most of all because of her in- domitable people. They are a race of pioneers who almost beggared themselves for others.

.O.K.F FOR GORDON
DELAYED

The Senate judiciary Committee
today failed to take any action upon
the nomination of Major Peyton Cor
don to be judge Of the District SUI
preme Court.
1t appears probable that at least
another hearing upon Gordon's name
will be held by the Judiciary sub
committee, Of which Senator Deneen
is chairman. It was not disclosed,
however. whether new charges
against Major Gordon, presumably
involving the local enforcement of
the prohibition act, had been brought
before the subcommittee.
At the first hearing, last week, a
rather poor showing was made by
the opponents of the nomination.
They confined themselves to old
charges which were considered and
dismissed by the Senate Judiciary
Committee two years ago when
Major Gordon was renominated as
District Attorney.
