political influences are coming into the life of President I
Coolidge. The lont; visit which Charles li. Warren, former
ambassador to Mexico, has made at the White House, ad
mittedly has not been related wholly to Mexican affairs.
Then, too, Colonel CJeow ?
Unrvcy has been consulted re
u'litly, ntming Wa-shingtoi*
from his summer home, in
Deal, X. J., for the pu i'lxisf.
Colonel Harvey was the great
supporter and confident of
President Harding. In fact
he is one of those who
claimed to have made Mr.
Harding President.

the President on llio Mihject of

I( i* not generally realized, but
Mr. Coolldge's acceptance speech
will Im* hi* Aral political speech In
something like four years. Al
though In* lias li?*l?t public offices
of various sorts for going on to
22 years. Mr. CohIIiIk<' is not re
garded as being "political mind
ed." In particular bo avoids con
I roversy as a rule, contenting
hlni.se! f to making certain definite
: tatemeuts which bo holds to be
fundamental and Incontrovertible.
In bis forthcoming speech, the
President, it Is said. frtTT'follow
the same coi|me, taking positive
ground In lusue* he believes
should be brought, before tho peo
ple. hut avoiding any denuncia
tion of liis political adversaries.
Mr. Coolldge's essay Into poli
tical discussion is being watchei
with tie same Interest that at
tache* to the earlier debut of Ills
principal opponent for the Presi
dency, John W. Davis. Mr. Cool
Idge came Into the White House
without any direct political action
on his part. His various speech
es as Vice President did not at
tract nation-wide attention, so Mr.
Coolidge'a qualities as an active
campaigner or candidate for the
highest office in the land still re
main to he demonstrated.
The position Mr. Warren Is to
have in the President's political
cabinet still Is a bit Indefinite .
Mr. Warren, too, wan a close
friend of the late President Har
din'* and offered his services to
him both before and after the
election. It has been said that
Mr. Warren might act as liaison
officer, or go-between, for the
"Old Guard" with National Chair
man Hutler. Hut It ap(M*ara now
that a preat deal If not most of
lie- friction which developed be
tween the old timers In tho G. O.
P. and the new chairman of the
National Committee from Ronton,
has been Ironed out and the need
of a diplomatic intermediary may
no lonper be considered necessary.
Mr. Warren Is extremely popu
lar with the older mem bars of the
National Committee. having
in rved for a long time on that
body hints* If. Ho In thoroughly

have remained loyal to the parLy.
While Mr. Warren will In no
sense Mipplant Chairman Hutler

President, he has had that wide
political experience which some of
the President's Intimates lack and
bin knowledge of men and affairs
in general Is sure to b" used l?y
the President to the fullest ad
vantage.
It will be recalled *hat Mr.
Warren traveled all the way hum
Mexico City to Cleveland. Ohio, to
act as chairman of the resolutions
committee of the Republican Na
tional Committee. He did this at
the personal request of President
