COOLIDGE LAUDS
 W|LL|AN6UTLER
Writes Praise, in Newspaper
 Article, of Dry Candidate

Boston, April o9 (UP)-Under Calvin Cooldge's by-line, the Boston Herald today carried q two-column article in which the former president paid glowing tribute to William M. Butler, candidate for the republican nomination for United States acna- tor.
 Not once did Coolidge, long time friend of the former senator and former chairman of the republican national committee, refer to the sen atorial race, but in political circles the article was generally regarded as an endorsement of the Butler candidacy.
 After reviewing the career of But Ter as an industrialist and leader of the republican party, the former chief executive observed:
 Ut is impossible adequately to de- scribe a man of ability and char actcr. There is something about him that escapes defnition.'
 In the fight for the senatorial nom- ination, Butler, a bone dry, is op- posed by Eben $. Draper of Hope dale, | wet.
