“Only Chinaman’s Chance To Beat Governor Smith”
Wall Street Wants Coolidge
(United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) (Australian Press Association.)
Reed. 9 a.m. NEW YORK, Wed. The financial editor of the “Morning World” comments: “Deep down in its boots, Wall Street believes that there is only one man who has a Chinaman’s chance to defeat Governor Al. Smith for the Presidency; and they are very doubtful about that, too. “That is the true story about the Mellon talk, and the reappearance of Mr. C lolidge’s silhouette on the political screen. “The truth is, as Wail Street knows, that Mrs. Coolidge does not want him to run. She has had all she wants of
tlie White House, and is very anxious to return to the simple home life in Massachusetts, and the President feels that way too. ’Yet the street has a lingering hope that he may yield to the belief that it is his duty to the party to accept nomination if it is thrust upon him, irrespective of his own views, and those of the first lady of the land. “There may not be the slightest reason for Wall Street to indulge this hope; but it must not be forgotten that imagination is one of the vivid forces furnishing the impulse to this market.”
