Lambert, Universal Service staff correspondent attached to the Summer White House at Rapid City, has been reporting the official life of President Coolidge for thirteen years. Mr. Lambert is probably better quali fied to interpret just what the Presi dent meant when he said he “does not choose to run again” than any other newspaper man in the country. By JOHN T. LAMBERT. Rapid City, S. D„ Aug. 3.—Because of thirteen years experience in re porting the official life of President Coolidge I have been asked to write my opinion of what he meant by the surprise announcement that he “does not choose to run again.” It means that he will not run again. Barring some extraordinary develop ment, he is absolutely out of it. He Means It. Tb# President is not given to over statement. When he said “I do not favor the soldiers' bonus,” he jneant that he was against it. He had absolutely nothing to gain politically by his statement. He had everything to lose politically. His statement let loose the dogs of Presi dential war. Every candidate is now free to go to work They will obtain How Five Presidents Stated Their Attitude on Third Terms New York World. Here is the fashion in which Presi dents have stated their attitude toward candidacy for a third term: George Washington In the first para graph of his Farewell Address on Sept. 17, 1796: The period for the new elec tion of a citizen to administer the Executive Government of the United States being not far distant, and the time actually arrived when your thought must be employed in desig nating the person who is to be clothed with that important trust, it appears to me proper, especially as it may con duce to a more distinct expression of the public voice, that I should now apprise you of the resolution I have formed to decline being considered among the number of those out of whewn a choice is to be made. Thomas Jefferson, in a letter writ ten in 1808: “Believing that a rep resentative government, responsible at short periods of election, is that which produces the greatest sum of happiness to mankind, I feel it a duty to do no the secretary to prepare and distribute the copies. “I am very tired,” he said as he left to visit his little son, who is ill at a hospital “I will have no further statement. The decision will speak for itself.” Later in the evening the governor was resting in retirement. A guard of state officers had been placed at his summer home at Rye Beach, N. H-, and also at the Massachusetts General hospital, where Alvan Junior is convalescing from an operation for appendicitis. Sacco-Vanzetti Committee Says The Decision Is Brutal. Boston, Aug. 4.—The Sacco-Van zetti defense committee early this morning characterized Governor Full er’s decision as “unbelievably brutal,” and declared that both he and his ad visory committee “must justify them selves by reason and not by partisan flat.” Coolidge Not Expected To Intervene In Case. Rapid City, S. D., Aug. 3.—Presi dent Coolidge is not expected to in tervene in behalf of Sacco and YTan zetti. He always that it was a case being wholly within the juris diction of the Massachusetts courts. While no extra guards have been placed about the Preident, it was re garded as likely that every precaution would be taken to prevent persons reaching him who might desire to solicit his influence. Saceo-Vanxetti Counsel Will Make No Comment. Boston, Aug. 3. —William G. Thompson, chief counsel for Sacco and Vanzetti, said that he would have no comment to make tonight on the governor’s decision. He ’ wished to study the full text before making any statement. The Sacco-Vanzetti de fense committee indicated that it SHE’S GOT MAC GUESSING wen WftJsx TI hr Km« \ Gr»«» B*''» , ". n .SHE THE CONCORD delegates who are loyal to them only, not to the President. To win renomination all President Coolidge had to do was to sit tight. He seems to be on the crest of his greatest popularity. It has been din ned into his ears that the nomination was his; that the country assumed that he would run again. Not can didate in his party had dared to an nounce against him. No Restraint Now. By his continued selence all candi dacies would have been subdued. Now there is no obligation upon any candi date to refrain from campaigning in his own behalf. Instead of working for him, they will be working for themselves. They can afford to credit him with sincerity. They can assume that if he “chose” to be a candidate there was no logical reason why he should say he “did not choose to run again.” Some unforeseen emergency of grave character might alter his decision. The prospective nomination of some mark edly unworthy candidate or the .de velopment of some serious crisis in the late days of his administration, such as the Wilson war crisis, of 1916, might cause him to change. Other wise I believe he is and will be out of it. act which shall essentially impair that principle, and I should unwillingly be the person who, disregarding the sound precedent set by an illustrious prede cessor, should furnish the first example of prolongation beyond the second term of office.” Ulysses C. Grant in a letter to General Harry White, on May 29, 1875, Chairman of the Republican State Convention of Pennsylvania: I am not or have I ever been a candi date for renomination. I would not accept a nomination if it were ten dered, unless it should come under such circumstances as to make it an imperative duty—circumstances not likely to arise. Theodore Roosevelt in a statement to the press on election night, 1904: The wise custom which limits the President to two terms regards the substance and not the form, and under no circumstances will I be a candidate for or accept another nomination. Calvin Coolidge in a statement to the press on Aug. 2, 1927: “I do not choose to run for President jn 1928.” would issue a statement later in the night. Warden Hendry of the state prison said he would not notify Sacco and Vanzetti of the decision until row. Crowds Watch Bulletin Boarßs For The Decision. Boston, Aug. 3.—Throngs in the streets in front of the newspaper bul letin boards tonight attested to the wide interest in the Sacco-Vanxetti case. The watchers, who included many women, waited quietly for sev eral hours for the words to come of Governor Fuller’s decision. A sprink ling of patrolmen paced the side walks where the crowds were the largest. A detail of patrolmen was assigned to the vicinity of the Phillips house of the Massachusetts General hospi tal, where Mrs. Fuller was at the bedside of her son, who is recovering from an operation for appendicitis. Another detail patrolled the vicinity of the Ritz Carlton hotel in the early part of the evening when the governor was there. The governor’s city home on Beacon street, his summer home, at Rye Beach, N. H., the state prison, the county courthouse, and jail here and the county jail in Plymouth, Van zetti’s home, also were closely guard ed. Telephone calls from all parts \pt New England to newspaper offices were continuous throughout the eve ning as information was sought as to the governor’s decision. The Christian Church is Sauk town, Ind., did not have money to pay a preacher, but it has obtained the services of a neighboring clergy man through the summer in return for an old hen nnd five dozen eggs each week. * yeS SEMb THEM - i 4 MOW MUChL-, WBED fv> YOU NEED 7 !

The Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, Aug. 4.—Sentiment in favor of Al Smith as the Democratic choice for candidate for president in 1928 is increasing in North Carolina and has been for several weeks, de spite the opposition of the state “party machine,” the Anti-Saloon League and the churches. And Coolidge’s now famous “ten words” are expected to make Smith even stronger than be fore. This is the conviction of a large number of political observers here, state officials and even of those who are avowedly opposed to Smith. They all agree that there has been a de cided upward trend in his stock in the state during recent weeks, though few even attempt to give any reason for this. One thing, however, is significant, in that few of those who believe this way, and who say that personally they are for Smith, are willing as yet to be quoted to that effect. “Not yet,” they say, when asked if they can be quoted as open advocates of the Smith candidacy. Most of them evidently feel that it is not politically expedi ent at this time to come out openly for Al. Not all of them agree, however, that Smith will be nominated, nor that he would carry North Carolina if nomi nated, for they admit the existence of a strong sentiment against him. Even the fact that Judge Tam Bowie and Judge A. M. Stack have come out openly for Al Smith, endorsing him as the one man whom the Demo cratic party can hope to elect if nom inated, has by no means obliterated the fact that there are thousands of voters in North Carolina who will not vote for a Catholic or a “wet” for president, even if he is nominated by the Democratic party, x. But some of this prejudice against Smith because of his religion and because of his views on prohibition is disappearing, many feel. And thosE in close touch with the situation also are emphatic in declaring that there is no organized movement on foot in this state or any other state for Smith, but that Smith is insisting sentiment be allowed to shape itself and crystallize, without any outside influence being brought to bear upon it “While in Washington last week I had a long talk with a friend of mine who for years has been very close to Governor Smith, and who still is one of his right hand men,” said a state official here today. “And he assured me that, contrary to popu lar belief, no organized effort was be ing made by Tammany, or Smith him self, or any other organization, to work up sentiment for Smith, but that it was Governor Smith’s desire that nothing be done, and that sentiment be allowed to shape itself.” “I believe that the majority of the thinking Democrats of the state are ready to admit right now that Smith is the one man in the Democratic party today that has a possibility of being elected, and that personally would vote for him. I know I will, said another state official in discussing the situation but who declined to per mit his name to be used at this time. “Smith is the one man in the Demo cratic party at present of whom the Republicans are afraid, and of whom Coolidge is afraid. And if the Demo cratic party can forget prejudices and get together back of Smith, it can elect him.” And many others echo the same sentiment. I However, these beliefs are not shared by Major Charles M. Stedman, mem ber of Congress from the fifth con gressional district, who ic here at tending the Confederate reunion. “I do not think that Al Smith will be nominated by the Democratic par ty, and if he is nominated he will not carry North Carolina,” said the 86 years old congressman, who fought under Lee and Jackson. He does not believe that the Democrats in the South will ever accept Smith as their candidate. On the other hand, he sees a decided trend toward the Demo cratic party all over the country, es pecially among the women voters, who he says are more fundamentally sin cere and honest than the men. He thinks the agricultural unrest in the west will rebound to the benefit of the Democratic party, whether Coolidge withdraws or not.
