THE PRESIDENT IS NO
LONGER THE SILENT MAN
"Daring Message' - to Senate
Was To Serve Notice
on
His Party.
(By David F. StOair).
Washington. April 15. There
is
an impression here that President
Coolidge's "daring message" to the
senate was to serve notice on his
own party that be now has complete
command of it Mr. Coolidge's re
cent primary victories in Illinois,
Michigan and Nebraska have given
him such a degree of confidence in
what he beieves to be -his destiny
that he is reported ready to play a
new nana. He has broken silence.
There are two or three men in the
Republican party who are credited
with having greatly annoyed the
President within the last few months.
Senator Hiram Johnson has ruffled
the good temper of the executive, ac
cording to report, in his license of
speech in describing the Republican
party as "crooked politics allied with
crooked business." The President is
known to have spoken to his friends
in resentment of this characterization.
There is Governor Pinchot of Penn
sylvania who has been a thorn in the
side of Mr. Coolidge almost from the
day he entered the White House. The
most rotten spot in this administra
tion is the prohibition unit. At the
offices of the unit, it is frankly ad
mitted that when Senator Watson
said in his speech on the floor of the
senate that nobody expected prohibi
tion to be enforced for the next ten
years, he said what everybody knows.
The Coolidge administration has
accepted the task of enforcing the
prohibition law as an impossibility
and it does not want any one to in
terfere with that policy. But Mr.
Pinchot contends the Federal govern
ment should enforce the law and the
public should know why it is not now
trying to do so. He wants the pro
hibition unit investigated and the
fear that it may be is now a night
mare to the White House for such
an investigation would be far more
iikely to drive Secretary Mellon from
office than the investigation into the
the tax unit of the revenue bureau.
Senator Watson admitted that to un
cover the prohibition unit would be
to take the lid off a "saturnalia of
corruption." ,
But the President's message to the
senate was also a notice, it is believed,
that he expects a bitter fight , with
the combined Democrat-insurgent 1
. i i , " i i i
iorces over tax ana nanus teKisiauan.
For months Jt has been hinted here
that the Democrats., would tack the
bonus.binthe itfcmjl,
naer an order to prevent tne vetoing
of the former; v .
The senate Democrats are deter
mined to give the ex-service men a
cash option in ' the bonus and the
President is believed certain to veto
such a bill. The bonus bill will be
reported out this week by the senate
finance committee and the Democrats
andS their insurgent friends will then
determine how the two bills will be
presented to the senate. Some of the
minority members of the finance com
mittee are known to favor the two
bills as one. The President in the
meantime has let out a roar to
in-
dicate that he is a fighting man.
