policies OF government.
The first indication that the Presi-
dent might be counted on to give some
substantial help during the campaign
by making one or two speeches devel-
oped following a conference yesterday
between Mr.. Coolidge and Representa-
tive Walter H. Newton of Minnesota.
chairman of the speakers bureau Of
the Republican national committee. Mr..
Newton afterward said he was not at
liberty to discuss his talk with the Pres
ident. other than to say that he dis
cuSSed politics and the plans of the
speakers bureau and to intimate that
he was exceedingly pleased with the re-
suit of this visit.
There seems little question that
Mr.. Newton. in the capacity of the
Speakers Bureau head. urged the Presi-
dent to give helping hand when the
proper time arrived, and that. while he
may not have received definite prom
Use for a speech, he was assured that
MIR. Coolidge would do what he could
If called upon in an emergency.
While refusing to answer a question
as to whether he asked the President to
make speech or so, Mr.. Newton re-
piled with much enthusiasm that he
accomplished more during his visit than
he had expected. and that he felt we'll
repaid for his long journey.
Would Be Powerful Factor.
Declining to mention details of his
discussion of politics with Mr.. Coolidge,
Mr.. Newton freely admitted that a
speech by Mr.. Coolidge urging voters to
retain the principles of his administra-
ton would be powerful factor in aid
ing Mr.. Hoover. The suggestion that
he IN
mont did not. however. elnanate from
MIR. Newton, but, instead. from the Ex-
ecutlve offices. where it was learned that
Mr.. Coolidge anticipates going to YER
mont for some special occasion.
The President and the Governor Of
Vermont have been in correspondence on
the matter. but the arrangements have
not been completed. If Mr.. Coolidge
makes this trip. it will be in coniunc-
ton with proposed journey to North
ampton, Mass to see Mrs. Coolidges
mother who is i'll in that city.
Mr.. Newton expects to put formid-
able array OF Republican speakers into
the field about September 90 when the
campaign will be we'll under way, placing
these orators in all parts of the country.
He appeared much pleased with his pre-
llminary arrangements.
The campaign work is coming along
splend1dly." Mr.. Newton said Mr.. Hoo
Vers speeches have been remarkably
well received. The human appeal in
them has been striking The public for
long time has viewed Mr. Hoover as
the Secretary of Commerce and the
great doer of great things, and has to
an extent lost sight of that great hu-
man touch so evident 10 years ago. But

MT. Newton predicted a Republican
victory in Minnesota. although conced-
ing that Gov. Smith would make far

Citizens Plan Send-Oh.
President and Mrs Coolidge are to
be accorded a touching send-off when
they leave for Washington early next
week. The people of the head of the
Lakes section have been proud and hap
py to have these distinguished citizens
spend their vacation in their part of
the country. and they propose showing
their appreciation and their regret at
their departure before the special train
pulls out of the superior station.
Citizens of Superior and Duluth and
the nearby towns and villages will as
semble on the wide lawn and the streets
about the Superior High School. which
has served as the executive Office during
the Presidents Sojourn up here. and
after Mayor Baxter of Superior makes a
brief speech the President will in re-
Spouse attempt to express fully his ap-
probation of the hospitality and friend
Illness accorded him and the members of
his family and party during the three
months they have been guests of the
North Woods country
This ceremony no doubt will reseni-
bic the one in Rapid City. S Oak. last
Summer. when the citizens of that sec
ton of the Black Hills gathered to ex-
tend an affectionate farewell to the
CoolidgeS on the eve of their departure
The presidential party will go directly
from the ceremony in front of the high
school, to the railroad station. whe.c
another demonstration. more informal
than the first one and probably more
lively and noisy, will be staged There
will be band music, the blowing of fac.
tory whistles and sirens and other me-
diums of noisy expression.
The special train, which is being as
sembled by Col. E. d. Ainslee of Wash
ington, general passenger agent OF the
Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad. will arrive
in Superior late today and shortly
thereafter will be ready Cor the Presi-
dents word to start for the Capital
According to the present schedule thc
President will arrive back at the Whit
House some time Wednesday.
