L COOLIDGE* BOOMER
TURNS RIGHT ABOUT
‘ Midvane in 1912 Fought Third Term for
i T, R., Yet Urges It For President.
Clinic- Miehelson in New York World,
i Washington, July 11.—No serious im
„ portanee it; attaclied to the declaration
of David W. Mulvane. Republican na
tional committeeman from Kansas, math*
at Swampscntt recently putting Presi
) dent Coolidge in the lace for a third
, term i.i 1928. \
It is simply an Occidental form of the
; old OrieLf.il greeting: "0, great king,
live forever.”
In 1912. Mr. Mulvane. being a staunch
regular, was conspicuous in the tight to
deny Roosevelt just what he
now wishes to award Calviu Cool : dge.
j Then- he was insistent the spirit of the
third t»rm inhibition, meant that no
man should be President more than
twice; now he points out that Mr. Cool
idge merely (arribd out President Hard
ing's policies for the fractional term and
I therefore :s really only serving his first
j term.
j At this particular stage of the Coolidge
Administration every regular Republican
politician is bound to be for him if he
wants the Presidency again; anything
else would be political treason.
Senator Willis two mouths ago sound
ed the same note »in denying his own
.Presidential aspirations. The Ohio Son- 1
ator, charged with starting on a speak
ing tour with the White House in view,
replied, in much the same language as
that employed by the National Commit
teeman from Kansas, that the nomina
tion in 1928 belonged to Mr. Coolidge
and that nobody else could go after it
unless the President disclaimed any in
tention of running again.
That is something Mr. Coolidge is not
at all likely to do. His natural habit
of reticence will prevent his making the
dilemma for himself that Roosevelt did
in-4he Hush of his election to the Presi
dency after haying served out McKinley's
teim. when he proclaimed his belief that
the country did not want a man to be
three times in the President's chair,
whether by election or succession.
The impression is very strong that Mr.
Coolidge's present frame o£ mi nde inclines
to continuing in his office after 1928. As
a matter of fact not since Washington
aud Jefferson and some of their immedi
ate successors, pronounced against a
third term have we had a two-term Presi
dent who d : d not hanker to run again,
bpt the sentiment of the country has al
ways been strong enough to deny a nom
ination in these cases —the incident of
Grant as well as of Roosevelt illustrate
this.
Perhaps the most significant indica
tion in the present instance is the com
ment Arthur Brisbane, who shortly
after he had been the President’s guest
on the Mayflower, published the follow
ing :
"There can't be any Coolidge third
term discussion until after the President
shall have been re-elected in 1928. That
would be his second term and the right
time to begin talking about a third.”
He added that Mr. Coolidge's acci
dental tenure of office following Presi
dent Harding’s death was not a Presi
dential term, and hazarded the opinion
that the people of his party "not being
idiots,” will ask him to take charge for
four years more.

Asheville. July 9 .(By the Associated
Press) —“We must guard against an
era of reckless expenditure. extra
vagance. and waste; and we must avoid
the other extreme of miserly, parsimon
ious. stingy and hard-fisted so-called
economy.” H. Galt Braxton told the N.
C*. Press Association here today. “I
stand for efficiency of administration,
and for economy of expenditure, when
sueh frugality does not entail a serious
retarding of our worth while program,
he continued. He declared in this con
nection: “I have no faith, my friends, in
the proposal to standardize wages and
efforts in North Carolina. Theoretically
the suggestion may appeal, but analy
tically and-iH-acticolly it’s friwigUt with
grave danger. T tell you, my friends,
men and women of ability and talents
who are blazing the way of our progress
and material gain will become
couraged and disorganized if out
government undertakes to fix for them
a task for the day’s accomplishment and
a per diem reward without regard for
individual ability and achievement.”

President Braxton, opening his address
today. “It is not my purpose to detail
the work that I have done as your presi
dent for the past year, or to undertake ]
to review the activities of the other
officers and members of your executive
committee. These reports have already
been made to you. In the very outset.
I wish to preface what I may say by
again expressing my appreciation for
the confidence that ysoit have manifested i

the honor that you bestowed upon me
have brought responsibilities and cares,

me to bring a record of achievement for

feel proud. However. I shall not make
any apology to you cither for myself or
for the members of your executive com

President Braxton stated that he

Want to Aid China in Present Crisis.
London, July 9.—The British govern
ment is in constant touch with Washing

circles here that the way will be cleared
soon for a conference of the powers for
an adjustment of Chinese customs. This
in tufiv will - offer - opper+nnity fur the
powers to co-operate With China in get

This opinion is based upon the recent
ratification by the French ambassador
of the treaties affecting China formulated
by the Washington conference. One of
these treaties contemplates an investiga
tion into the extra territorial privileges
enjoyed by foreigners in Chinn; another
looks to ultimate revision of Chinese cus
toms.
France is the last of the 9 powers par
ticipating to ratify the treaties. The
French Senate has yet to act. When
French ratification is complete it should
be possible for a conference of these pow
ers and China to be held without delay,
according to British They add.

on the tu*b the present situation in China

FEAR TO NATIVES
Advise Them to Leave Homes

Against the French and the

Paris. July 9 (By the Associated
Press). —Abdel Krim continues to mass
liis Moroccan warriors for a drive against
' the French lines iu the upper Ouergha
valley.
Information regarding the chief's plans
has reached the French intelligence serv
ice, and measures tot combat the move
being taken.
Meanwhile the Riffian propaganda pro
ceeds with some success, notably among
the tribes south of the Ouergha, but it
is hoped the appearance of troops raised
by the Sultan will serve to counteract it
in a large measure. Travelers arriving
in Spanish zone say the recent evacua
tion of civilians from Taza on the rail
road east of Fez was ordered by the
Moorish tribesmen to abandon their friend
ly attitude toward the French popula
tion as soon as the garrison left for
the Kiffane fighting front.
French and Spanish Confer.
Paris. July 9. —France and Spain will
offer Abdel Krim autonomy in the Riff
region of Morocco under* a Spanish pro
tectorate. This is one of the principal
features o fthe Franco-Spanish accord
regarding Morocco, signed at Madrid yes
aerday.
French official circles expect Abdel
Krim to refuse the offei* because the lead
er of the tribesman now ppposing the
French and Spanish in Morocco, has re
peatedly said he would not accept a Span
ish directorate.
It is understood the Franco-Spanish
agreement also provides permission for
the French- military forces to enter the
Spanishm zone in pursuit of Abdel
.Krim's marauders and other operations
as may be necessary.
Although Abdel Krim has refused a
Spanish protectorate he has said he would
accept autonomy under the Frem'.i. This .
is impossible, however, because his terri
tory, the Riff, is in the Spanish zone.
Hostages Released.

children, held as hostages by Abdel Krim's
Kiffians were released by the French to
