MONDAY AFTERNOON, jc T NE 16, 1924 7 HUNT'S® WASHINGTON LETTEKJ&SS BY HARRY B. HUNT NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, June 16.—Will ithe Coolidge candidacy effect a permanent new alignment in the Republican party, or will the shift in leadership and iollowing, result ing from his nomination, be but temporary? This is the question chiefly in teresting politically minded Wash ington today as the president and his henchman squared away for tiro campaign battle ahead 1 . For there is no question but that the Republican party, following the Cleveland convention, is under new management. The “best minds’! of the G. O. P. today are not the “best minds’’ of four years ago. Just as the guiding hand of Boies Penrose and Murray Crane were missed by the old regime at the Cleveland convention, and as Henry Cabot Lodge was shunted into a position of secondary influence, so is the whole oldtime directing personnel and machinery of the party organi eation to be ditched, so far as the presidential compaign is concerned. • • • The Coolidge candidacy will be, to a degree not equaled by that of any recent aspirant except Roose velt, a personal campaign. . Just as Roosevelt’s appeal to the people was strongly individual, giz ing him a personal strength exceed ing that of his party, so Coolidge’s managers believe, the appeal of the silent, tactiturn man now in the White House outruns the bounds of party and gives him a strength ou’- side of and beyond that of the party whose ticket he heads. In keeping with this view, the Coolidge candidacy will be directed by Coolidge fans. They will be Re publicans, of course, but first of all they will be Coollidge Republi cans. * ♦ • The disappearance of John T. Adams, George Lockwood and Fred Upham from paces of power in the national committee is the first move in clearing the way for a personal Coolidge campaign. The effort is to be to put the Coolidge candidacy at the head of fke procession, well out in front, not simply as a part of the general party campaign to include senator ial and congressional fights and state tickets. Candidates for Senate ana House, if they want to benefit by she Coolidge lealership, will have to come along in the Coolidge fol lowing. If they feel that they are stronger than the head of their ticket and are inclined to make ►heir campaigns independently—< well, the result will be on their own heads! Interestingly enough, however, ►here are more than a few of the present membership in Congress who expect to do just that thing. Just as Coolidge’s managers feel , he is stronger than the party its self, these members feel that in their individual districts, they are stronger than Coolidge. Those who voted the bonus over the presi dential veto, for instance, will claim that as a reason for support Nov. 4. Those who helped put through immigration and tax pro visions put of harmony with the Coolidge tax and immigration views will make those acts their chief claim for re-election. * * • Someone is wrong, of course. (Either the Coolilge managers magni fy the personal papularity and strength of the president with the rank and file of American voters or the groups within the party which view the Coolidge candidacv with coolness have their glasses on crooked. They can’t both be right. There is openly expressed belief that the old, now rejected leader ship of the party, is looking for ward not merely with expectation but with actual hope for the defeat of the presidential ticket in Nov.- ber. This group will work to save party control in Congress, if pos sible, but will merely stand by in the hope of recapturing control of the party machinery should the lop of the ticket go down to defeat A Coolidge victory, however, might bring a permanent and new G. 0. P. lineup. RAILROAD SCHEDULES Arrival and Departure of Passengei Trains, Americus, Ga. Central of Georgia Ry.
