Coolidge Made Friends In His Address To Publishers They Were Mostly Business Executives of Conservative Type Rather Than Editorial Writers and Coolidge Con servatism Appealed to Them Itather Strongly ny DAVID LAWRENCE ICwHtt I*24. By Th. *?????> New York, April 23.?President Coolidge, his personality, political future and doctrines of public policy, was dissected by the editors and publishers in annual convention here. Many of them had never be-j fore heard Mr. Coolidge make a speech. Some had never seen him. Gathered as they were from all parts of the country, i representing every political! creed and economic viewpoint.' the newspaper men furnished j an interesting cross section of American public opinion. There was almost universal agree-; ment that Mr. Coolidge lacked elo cutionary power in delivering his ad dress, a circumstance induced partly by the fact that he read from manu script. There were those among hJn Republican friends who thought the I occasion a fitting opportunity to 4,sell his personality" to the editors.' In the sense that Mr. Coolidge made his speech without dramatic effects and in the even tones which contract with the old time addresses of Hoos evelttan punch, the President did' not come up to the expectations cf many of his auditors. In other words, regarded purely as a cam paign speech. It d^d not have the po-| lltlcal flavor or rousing appeal so characteristic of efforts on the stump. But It would be a mistake to ac cept casual comments on the form ot delivery or personal appeal as con clusive. Something far more signifi cant was disclosed to this corres pondent as he mingled with the edi tors and collected their opinions. It was that the basic doctrine won widespread approval. Editors from the South, staunch Democrats, unit ed with Republicans of the North In pronouncing Mr. Coolldge's thoughts; I safe and sane. An extraordinary amount of criticism was voiced against the number of Investigation-* being conducted in Washington, and It was apparent that Bome editors fear the effect of the happening! in ? the national capital may be to un settle business and shake the foun-, datlons of prosperity. Economic questions rather than. political problems were In the back ground of most of the publishers* minds and to the extent that Mr. Coolidge showed himself concerned about tax revision and other factors that might contribute to the business welfare of the American people, hi* speech made a profound Impression. I For. if the truth be told, there was little partisanship In the com-, ments heard. It was not as Repub licans or Democrats, but as persons interested in economic progress and readjustment that the visiting dele gates spoke. Mr. Coolidge s consei vatism struck a sympathetic re sponse on the part of those of his school of thought, irrespective of political affiliations. Democrats, for instance, said they were glad Mr. Coolidge had come to recognize the necessity of economic co-operation with Europe, even though he was auainst formal political understand ings with the rest of the world. Many of the early advocates of the League of N'atlons favored that or ganization largely because of a con viction that Vt would bring economic concord If America wsre to partici pate. What the Dawes-Young-Rob Inson commission has been able to accomplish In the matter of repara tions, they said, might have been done sooner had America not been swung too far away in Its IsolaMon policies since 1920. Hut the Interesting thing Is that Republicans and Democrats seemed] \h agree that economic co-operation: with Europe was necessary, as the Pnsldent said, to get Increased ex port markets for agricultural and manufactured products. Mr. Cool idge was admired for his courage In continuing his espousal of the World Coi"-t, notwithstanding opposition inside his party. He was given an enthusiastic ovation when he an nounced Mint America would take the Initiative In a conference to r* ? dace further the burden of arma ment. Indeed, those who regarded the mibstance of the Coolidge re dress, rather than Its delivery, thought It was tuned to the right note of conservatism which predom inated as the characteristic of the audience. Dissenting expressions were largely confined to those who assessed the speech In political terms and who unconsciously Were gov erned In their Judgments by the nat ural divisions of party and economic crced, liberal, radical or stand-pat. On the whole, Mr. Coolidge revealed himself as the safe-and-sane type of President which the business man. be he from the North or South, like?', and tlv convention contained inor" business executives than editorial writers. An altogether different re action might or might not have been obtained from a group of editors alone accustomed to an appraisal In political values. Mr. Coolidge gained friends by his trip to New York. 1*o that extent his Journey was to hit political profit. ti McCABE MANAGER FOR McLEAN HERE Junior Partner of Finn of McCahe and Grice Asked to Marshal McLean Forces i%i Pasquotank County. Angus Wilton McLean will poll n big vote In Pasquotank County. Thia lias been the contention of the Luui berton man's friends all along but their assurance rose several notches Wednesday when word reached hero from McLean headquarters that Au brey G. McCabe had been named campaign manager for Mr. McLean in this County. Aubrey G. McCabe is a native Bestcltian and one of the most popu lar and well liked young business men in the city. That's an easy thin? to say. but in Mr. McCabe'a case it is susceptible of ready proof. He ran for Mayor last year against so popular and strong an opponent as W. Den Goodwin, and Mr. Good win. who won out in a walk the year previous, defeated Mr. McCabe, then only 2 4 years old. by a plural ity of less than 100 votes with about 1500 ballots cast. Aubrey G. McCabe is the son of J. T. McCabe of the firm of McCabe & Grice and is the junior partner of the Arm. He is also a director of the Norfolk & Carolina Telephone & Telegraph Company- When the war broke out young McCabe was a stu dent at the University of North Car olina and when it ended he was in training camp. Last autumn he mar ried Miss Maude Moss, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Moss, one of the moat popular and attractive young women of the city. In addition to his personal popu larity, Mr. McCabe has another es sential quality of the efficient cam paign manager. He is an enthusias tic McLean man and before he had thought of himself as connected with the McLean campaign In any official capacity had thrown his en thusiastic personality heartily into the ranks of active supporters of McLean for Governor. FURTHER TESTIMONY IN WHEELER CASE Washington.

Good Laugh Beats Physic Or Exercise Says Depew At Ninety Man Who Strapped Jokes With Lincoln Says Sense of Humor Will Do More to Proton# Life Than All the Rules of Diet or Exercise Will Do By HAHVKV ANDKIISOX (CflBvrlaht. 1924.
