Opinion seems to be nnaniinoua
that Kdsel |*'ord w >i not invited
hi<ro simply for the mountain air
ami tin* comforts of White Pine
Camp. Ah for Ilk-hard Washburn
Child, former ambassador to
Italy, there Is divided opinion.
Homo advancing the view thil he
spoke for the President when he
said there was noihiiiK to the ob
Jcctloiis raised to the third term
and that tliu eountry assumed Mr.
Coolidge would run again, and
others venturing the suggestion
that Mr. Child was expressing
his iiwu personal view* without
inspiration froiu the l'residont.
Anyway, not a little significance
attaches to the way Representa
tive Sui'll. ehalriiiuu of the llouee
Hulcs Conunittee, handled the
question when he emergod from a
brief vi?it with the President. At
because Mr. Suell is a practical
politician and because be knew
what li.nl been Maid curlier In the
day by Mr. Child considerable i
weight (-an lie given to hia cau
tious observation.
Mr. Snell didn't want to ba
quoted at all on the subject, and
pressed for a reason, let it bo
kliowu that it? believed It was pre
mature to bo diseussing 1928 poli
ties. On t ho miuds of the cor
respondents he left the Impreaalon
that third term, talk now was em
harrasslng, that people would be
gin to anulyzu everything the
President did its having a political
motive if 1928 were dangled too
closely before their eyes, and Mr.
Snell knew the President well
? nough to feel t tint tilings like
that woud nover influence Mr. ?
Coolldge's decisions.

White I'lwo Camp at the invitation
of i ho President and wan brought

not Ioiik ago Mi. Coolldge declined
to Ih? photographed with (Jovernor

Luat summer Mr. Coolldge exclt- ?
ed the curiosity of the newspaper

photographed with Vice I'reiKlcat

hn docs give permission It Is con- i
