PRESIDENT TO CAST

AS citizens of the commonwealth of

Coolidge are going to place their bal
lots in the box in Northampton. their
home town.
They will leave Washington on a spe-
cial train tonight and will arrive in
Northampton shortly after breakfast
tomorrow morning. According to the
present schedule they will not remain
there more than two hours, when they
will start upon the 10-hour journey
back to washington.
This will be the second time since
Mr.. Coolidge has been President that
he and his wife have journeyed home
to VOTE The former occasion was in
1925, when his personal friend, William
M. Butler, was candidate for the
Senate, and the Presidents trip to
Massachusetts, then was generally
looked upon as a gesture on his part
to aid in the election Of Mr.. Butler.

1t is not necessary for the President
and Mrs. Coolidge to take this long trip
chuSetts has an absentee voting law
which would permit them to mail their
ballots from the White House. They
did this in 1924, when the President
was a candidate. But the President
has been represented as having deter
mined on voting in person tomorrow
because he thinks it will serve as a
good example to the electorate through
out the Nation to make any sacrifices
and go to any inconvenience in order to
exercise the privileges of their
franchise.
The President and Mrs. Coolidge will
be accompanied on the trip by Edward
T. Clark, his personal secretary, and
Mrs. Clark, who are residents of North
ampton, and who are making this trip
for the sole purpose of voting; Col. OS-
nun Latrobe, military aide; Capt. Will
son Brown, naval aide; Erwin G. Gels
ser, personal Stenographer to the PreSi-
dent, who. is a resident of Lawrence,
Mass, and who has already sent his
vote by mail, and Col. James F. Coupal,
the Presidents physician, who has
mailed his ballot to Boston, where he is
legal resident.
Will Visit Old Home.
All of the voters in Northampton cast
their ballots in the City Hall, and it
will be to that building that the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Coolidge will go directly
from the railroad station tomorrow
morning. They will go from the voting
place to their little home on Massa-

GENEVA, November 5.-Negotiations
are understood to be in progress between
the interested governments and the
League of Nations as to whether the
preparatory disarmament commission
should be convoked in January, 1929.
Proposals to hold a session of the
naval experts of the five leading naval
powers, including the United States,
appear temporarily to have been aban-
doned, although the officials of some
governments feel that it would be futile
to convoke the preparatory commission
without preliminary negotiations toward
establishing a naval accord.
It is believed here that Great Britain
would be the likeliest of the powers to
approach the United States with any
new suggestion. Those in favor of hold
ing a January session think that the
naval difficulties can be discussed at
that time without any preliminary
meeting of experts.
