GOOUDGE '?CHOOSES"
President Coolidge's announcement
lest week not only surprised, but ac
tually astounded the entire nation.
The newspapers generally and politi
cians particularly are still discussing
the reasons for his announcement. -
Thaw are probabuy four ifeain rea
sons why President Coolidge made
this announcement:
First: Coolidge had affixed his,sig
nature to an Anti-Third Term for
President Roo6?velt
Second: Physicians who have at
tended Presidents 0/thf U. S. con
sider that the presidency is a man-kill
ing job, and it is generally believed
that inynan can humanly endure three
terms m succession. President Cool
idge doubtless feels tfris himself.
Third: President Coolidge is a poor
man. It is not unreasonable nor unlike
ly that be would desire to accumulate
a sufficient amount of wealth to en
able Sm to live in ease and comfort
in his later days. President Coolidge
has made a profound impression up
on the big business men of the coun-l
' .3 , J
" , . . . .
would not apply excepts? three con- {
secutive terms, and, hence, after a
lapse of four years, he might be avail
able for reelection to the presidency.
-v Pwakfcnt Coolidge gave his message
to Hie world in one sentence of twelve
. words. Doubtless he gave a great deal '
of thought to this phraseology and the
word "choose" was not slipped in ac
cidentally. He undoubtedly will not
be a candidate. He does not "choose"
to be a candidate. However, if his
namb is presented to the convention,
as itvundoubtedly will be unfcsp the
president absolutely forbids such ac
tion, the convention will "choose" to
hft*, and, President Coolidge j
- in all probability, will accept the nomi
nation.^ r ? ' !

bkft hil name fi?ng presented to the
vConvention, the field Is thrown open
