COOLIDGE HAS McMARY BILL ON HIS DESK (CoNTivriai i'iiom r«<;R sort. The bill lias been enthusiastically endorsed by former Gov. Frank O. Lowden of Illinois and vice President Charles G. Dawes, both of whom are being mentioned as Presidential prospects. Eastern leaders of the party, who opposed , the bill, are keeping silent, firm in the belief that the President will veto the measure. But if he should sign, it is hardly to be expected that they will join any Coolidge flag waving. In the opinion of most impartial observers, the President finds himself between the Midwest Farm Bloc of the party on one hand and the Eastern opposition oil the other and he is certain to displease one. Whatever the merits of the question it foreshadows more political consequences than any issue upon which the President has been asked to act since) his reelection. o -— LEGION TO HOLD WEEKLY MEETING (Continvkd rxon raaas bers are working hard to secure a new member.
