(Australian & N.Z. Cable Association.) U.S. PRESIDENCY. COOLIDGE NOT A CAN HI PATH. (Received this day at 11.0 am.) NEW YORK, Aug. 2. President C'oolidge's announcement at Rapid City was totally unexpected at this juncture and created widespread amazement. The President called the newspapermen together after the markets cursed and Secretary Sanders locked and guarded the door, while Air Coolidge handed each pressman a typewritten slip reading: “ I do not choose to be a candidate for the presidency in 1028.” The journalists asked if he would add anything to the statement, hut Air Coolidge merely shook his head negatively. lie was grave and serious, lacking his customary smile, with which he usually favours newspaper conferences. His action has puzzled political leaders anti public alike, because his political position is now as strong as ever, and his health is excellent. The apparent collapse of the Geneva Conference has been a deep disappointment to him and is likely to affect the economy campaign through the increased navy, but it is believed in many quarters that the real reason for his withdrawal is out of respect for the long-standing prejudice against Presidential third terms.
