Mr. Coolidge's Week

THE PRESIDENCY

Mr. Coolidge's Week

P: The. Farmer's Union, The Federated Farm Bureau, the National Grange and the American Livestock Association received telegrams. President Coolidge presented his respects, asked them to consult their State organizations and invited them to suggest the next Secretary of Agriculture.

P: Chairs and a table were moved out to the rear lawn of the White House. A notary public, a battery of camera men assembled. Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Coolidge appeared. The President sat, holding up a large envelope for secrecy's sake, and marked his ballot. Mrs. Coolidge, wearing a necklace of seven ivory elephants, .did the same. The notary took their affidavits; the ballots were sent to Northampton, Mass.

P: At 10 p. m., Eastern time, on the eve of election, the President stepped before a microphone and advised all good citizens to do their duty on the following day.

P: Representatives of 44 advertising agencies, all members of the Coolidge and Dawes Advertising League Club, had cereal, bacon and eggs, buckwheat cakes, maple syrup and coffee in the state dining room of the White House with Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge. The advertising men were escorted by Colonel Rhinelander Waldo, the same who brought John Drew and other actors to the White House a week earlier. Said the President: "I can only promise you to continue those policies that have helped to make for prosperity and confidence."

P: All letters written to the White House are answered--or nearly all. Last week a group of Tammany Democrats offered to pay the President's expenses if he would speak in Manhattan. Their letter was not answered because it was "patently not in good faith."

P: Cameramen who missed Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge doing their ballotting induced them to go out on the White House lawn and do it over again. In order not to violate the statute, however, the Coolidges refrained from mailing their second ballots.

P:General Plutarco Elias Calles arrived in Washington and rode about under the protection of a troop of U..S. Cavalry from Fort Myer. One of his calls was on Mr. Coolidge. Next day General Calles returned to lunch with the President and with Secretaries Hughes and Mellon. He was attended by officials of the Mexican Embassy.
