Face to Face r. r. With r. William M. Butler r Chairman of the Republican National Convention (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) 0 A new Warwick appeared at the s Republican National Convention in ) Cleveland in 1921 in the person of > William Morgan Butler, Chairman of ) the National Committee. Friend and 1 adviser of President Calvin Coolidge. I who followed him as President of the ■ Massachusetts Senate, William M. Butler has been the power invisible that has directed affairs decisively without duster or fire works. Retiring in person, he is at the front with plans made with the relentless purpose of "going through!”—to the finish. “W. M." as he is called, was born

sixty-three years ago in the whaling city of New Bedford. Massachusetts. His youth was spent among the sturdy old whaling ship captains whose recitals of adventures are a romance that ever appeals to youth. The old skippers at Edgartown and Nantucket were among hia ardent supporters when he launched into a political career, because he knew his ship, fore and aft. from topmast to keel. Graduating at Boston I'niversity in 1884. William M. Butler began and practiced Taw in New Bedford until 1895, when he removed to Boston. He early developed a liking for quiet politics and knew how to handle the Cape Cod district when elected to the House of Representatives and later to the State Senate of Massachusetts. Active in large industrial undertak ' lags. William Butler became presi ; d< nt of the Boston A Worcester electric lines, the New Bedford mills, the! Quhisett mill and the Butler mill. His executive abilities attracted the attention of the Ute Senator W. Murray! Crane early in his career, and he in

He drives for one point—results—and his thought is not easily deflected from the "objective” in his mind. Some call him cdd. wrapped in the isolation of bia' own purposes -but his friendships

•I to make the nomination speech at I I Cleveland because he is an old friend ■ of President Coolidge.

This selection reveals the appreciation of sentiment by . Chairman Bqtler.

j The same clear-headed judgment he j has used in building up his busimss. William Butler has given to his friend I Calvin Coolidge unreservedly in buildi lug up a campaign.
