It ia uncertain how long a majority thus formed can be maintained. Second comes the exchange sit uation. The franc fell violently to day at the mere prospect of anoth- I ?r government. Most of the peo of France still are confusedly j Ignorant regarding the real mean- 1 tog of the fall of the franc.

UN. k. Tkt A?ra.M? Washington. July 21- Herbert Hoover. Secretary of Commerce, las written friends recently that ' le believes Calvin Cool Id ge |8 the oglcal man to succeed himself an President of the I'uited Stales In he elect Ion of 1928. This reply has gone forth to several Inquirers who uad endeav ored to interest Mr. Hoover In the possibility of gelt inif thine* start ed In bis behalf for the next Pres idential election. Kvary man of prouilueuce and popularity lu pub lic life has politically minded friends who feel thai iwu years ahead of ail election U none to naily to start The Secretary of Commerce however, has njuelched ull -Hiese effort* and there Is no i?ne lu the Coolldge cabinet who la more loyal to the President polit ically and otherwise. It is know u that Mr. Hoover ha* long desired to make a public statement of his belief in the ne cessity of nominating and electing Mr. Coolldge but he has been em barrassed by the fact that Mr. Coolldge has preferred not to have anyone In his official family even discussing 192s because It might be mis construed as having been Inspired by him. So. Mr. Hoover has kept alleut. And the fact that he wrote several letters to friends eHpousitu; the CSolldge cause Was not disclosed u "c bul out today hrougfc some of those who had learned of the letters after they were sent. The peculiar importance of Mr Hoover's pronouncement however. Is that he Is being accused in po ll! V?*Lrc2f" ?r httV,n* an ?*y? oil the 19-8 Presidential nomination In Congress especially the Secre tary Of Commerce waa not always regarded as approviiiK or dtaap proving measures without a sug geatlon of political advantage or disadvantage. Opponents of some of Mr Hoover's policies have not omitted the opportunity to ascribe his rights against certain kinds of foreign loans as being a bid for political support for himself All this has only Irritated the Secretary of Commerce and stlm ulated him to scotch the political angle once and for all. This has now been done lu his communica tions to friends. It l? ?li) thai l>re?l<l(.nl Cool idge knows of Mr. Hoover's atti tude. Indeed that he has known it for some time, and that efforts to cause friction between the White House and Mr Hoover on the ground that Mr. Hoover was plan nlng his own political campaign have caused only amusement to those at the executive mansion who have known the truth. Mr Hoover Is In Minneapolis today making an Important speeeeh and It probably will be considered as a personal political effort but It really is Intended to strengthen the roolldge administration. Mr. Hoover Is one of Ihe young ?st men In political life and aotne day he may be considered serious 7 for the Presidential nomlna Hon. but not lu 1928, unless, of course. Mr. Coolldge should upset ? II calculations by refusing to run again. Mr. Hoover will complete next spring his tenth conaecutlve year In public life here.

This startling revelation of the Governor's meek submission jto mandate* of the club wumen of the State, who were about to ralae ,th?* rry of "Insult, Insult" on 1Mb floor of the Fedoratlon of Wo* men's Clubs If he did not car TJ ?ut their wishes, was made by Dr. Delia Dixon-Carroll in connec* j lion with a modem expression of her dlHup point uieut that the auf \ey was not to proceed. This "mudest" slutemeiit ronslated of 'some 2,000 words or more, and !& . It she hu Id : | "We have remained quiet about this because we sent word to. the 'Governor that the Inault would i not he reported ou the floor Qt *4bn nwiioiiHon of the Fedafttoa - of Women's Clubs if the surrey was granted. Within 48 hoani the survey was granted and tbe re port of the Insult was not made to 'the fHderutlon that convene five days later." The "Insult" alleged by Dr. Dixon Carroll was that the Qov ernoi has asked a member of the i women's committee waiting on hloi If sli e was in the employ oi certain | Northern Interests. Those who know the Governor are not surprised that he should fall to dignify the charges made by Dr. Carroll with a reply, 'tad point out that Governor Mr Leah i Is of the old school Southern ge^ tlenien who would not deign to e^ .ler Into a controversy with aa? . woman, no matter what rhargo she might make reflecting on by Integrity or verarily. ? However, there are others vM) believe that as long as womn have Insisted on entering polltlca. that they should be given no more con sideration than any others, fetid that when charges of the nature 'of that made by Dr. Carroll la made that It should either b* plW en or retracted. These namrf peo ple say that anyone who know* .'Coventor McLean at all kuewe that he would not insult anf Vflf ' man and that he did not any member of the rommltreaeiafc er directly or Indirectly, with be ing an agent of any Northern lu tertsts. Neither Is he the sort {9 submit to any alleged "threeta," | by man or woman, at the espbfl0? (of being "exposed" before a cluj> . women's contention. In fact, there were othera prea ??nt at the time this committee talked to the Governor, ni)d la* stead of the Governor making any charge or allusion to "Northern Intorests" a womsn member of tbe | committee. It has been learaed> mentioned the fact that she 'bad been accused of being In tbe -pay of North {liferents, but up9Q,^kee voluntary statement that she wae not, the Governor let the matter pass. No threats of any kind VeA made, It is authoritatively learned. Despite the volcanic outliers* Dr Dixon-Carroll and a few of her followers, general approbation gad approval of the course taken by Coventor McLean In railing a bait in the survey when It hersme ap parent that It could not be made harmoniously and without preju dice. Is coming in from all a<* t Ion s of the State and even froai outside t he State For evea Mlee Mary Anderson, Director of tbe Women's Bureau, of the If 8. De partment of Labor. and undeg whose direction these ssme etub women at first desired tbe aerrey lo be made. Is In definite aad hei?rty agreement with Qoveraer McLean In that unless tbe survey could be made with the hearty co operation of all roncerned K wave better not to make it at all. It Is being freely expressed I* political circles that tbe attaefc made upon Governor MrLean by Dr Dixon-Carroll and her follow ers In strengthening his posltloa rather than threatening It.
