TALK OF COOLIDGE
1882 RACE REVIVED
Today, Anniversary of Entry
Into White House, Holds
Wide Significance.
BY the Associated Press.

by Jne ASSoClateu FTeSS
Eight years ago today, upon the death
of Warren Harding, the presidency
went to Calvin Coolidge. Four years
do not choose to run for President in
1928"
On this anniversary day, which has
become filled with national significance,
Herbert Hoover is entering the new
quadrennial campaign definitely in the
race for denomination. although he has
made no announcement nor is he ex-
pected to by political leaders.
Coincidentally. the name Of Calvin
Coolidge is again in the political discus
sion through the statement of his
friend and former physician. DR.. James
F. Coupal, that Mr.. Coolidge would
have liked to have been drafted" in
1928 and that he could be induced"
to run again in 1882.
Leaders Stand by Hoover.
The Coupal statement drew consider
able interest in politically minded
Washington and some cautious specu-
lation. However, the Republican Old
Guard leaders are standing by Mr..
Hoover for a second nomination.
Senator Watson Of Indiana, the Re-
publican leader. expressed the view
that the President would be renomi-
mated Senator Moses of New Hamp-
shire, another of the Republican regu-
lar chieftainS, this week asserted. 1T Is
not in the cards for any one to take
the nomination away from President
Hoover"
But there is no assurance that Mr.
Hoover will have no opposition for re-
nomination and the politicians insist
that with a long session Of Congress
ahead it is too early to make definite
predictions.
Mr.. Hoover has split with the Repub-
lican independents from the Northwest
on his farm relief and tariff policies.
That group will be the balance of power
in the next Congress- meeting in De-
cember and running through to the
conventions.
Col. Mann to Switch.
Meanwhile, Col. Horace Mann Of
Tennessee and Washington, who man.
aged the Hoover campaign in the South
in 1928, is making his planS-for an
other candidate next year. In this con-
nection the name of Calvin Coolidge
again is heard frequently.
There are some here who believe It
probable Mr.. Coolidge on this ami
versary of entering the White House
and OF his withdrawing from active
participation for denomination might
make today the occasion for another
declaration-in view of the Coupal
statement.
While Mr.. Hoover has made no an
nouncement and has not indicated that
he will. Republican leaders and his
friends have no doubt whatever Of his
intentions. Certainly he has done
nothing to halt the work of official
leaders in his behalf and he has made
no complaints against their utterances
about his denomination.
