REPUBLICAN TICKET
Message to Curtis Viewed
as Approval of Party
Choices.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.
stan correspondent Of The star.

CEDAR ISLAND LODGE, Brule
River. Wis, June l6.-President Cool
idge made complete his approval OF his
party's selection OF a national ticket
with which to go before the electorate
next November. when he wired con-
gratulations this afternoon to Senator
Curtis upon his nomination as vice
presidential candidate.
The concluding words OF this mes
sage are accepted by members of the
Presidents party here as indicating
there is little doubt In his mind about
the Republican ticket being on the road
to victory. However, other than the
words contained in this telegram. the
President made no comment. Although
he Is represented as not having given
those about him any hint as to his
own preference for the second place on
the ticket, 1t is known that he and
the Kansas Senator are close personal
friends and that he has the highest
regard for the latter's ability.
Telegram to Senator.
The telegram to Senator Curtis.
which was dated today. follows:
Honorable Charles Curtis. Topeka.
Kans.
THE report has just reached me OF
your nomination for Vice President.
Yo'ir long public service which has
made you the Republican leader of the
Senate has given you a knowledge of
affairs and OF parliamentary law such
as Is possessed by few. To the gratitude
have always felt for your help to me,
now add my best wishes for your
success In your new Office.
CALVIN COOLIDGE"
The President Is known to be prob
ably closer to Senator Curtis than any
other member of the Senate and be-
sides liking the latter personally, he
has taken him into his confidence prob
ably more than any other Republican
leader at the Capitol. The Kansan
has been frequent caller on the Presi-
dent In Washington and many times
during sessions OF Congress the Presi-
dent has summoned him for confer
ences. Often he has had the Senator
call at the White House In the evening
that they may discuss important legis-
lative matters.
Some little comment has arisen In
Summer Capital circles because the
President did not send this congratula-
tory message until "a hours after the
Senator's nomination. Considering the
Presidents attachment for the former
and his deep appreciation OF his serv-
Ices to the administration. there Is rea-
son TO feel certain that there Is no
cause for attaching any significance
to this delay.
