man of the Republican national COM
mittee, in a radio speech which, he
said, was his last public address in
this campaign, making special refer
ence to our party officials"
II have but one hitherto uneXpressed
wishful hope, which I know President
Coolidge shares" he said in conclu-
sion, land that is that Secretary Hoo
yer and Senator Curtis will poll the
largest popular vote ever recorded for
the presidency and vice presidency OF
the United States"
"All efforts to drag Herbert Hoover
into controversies on the Low level OF
personalities have failed" said DR..
Work. His utterances have been those
of a statesman, rather than that OF g
politician more anxious to get the ap-
plause of the unthinking than to con-

The Republican chairman launded
the Coolidge policies, saying the whole
