Observer* anticipate t'hat a political coup will develop as the result of 'President' ' Coolidge' s prohibition enforcement "• conference with the State Governors on the 20tii, instead of a conference resulting in greater co-operation between the Federal and State Governments.
The President's friends fear it will be the signal for a general bombardment of the Administration. i Considerable acrimony has developed between Governor Pinchoti and President Coolidge, because the former asked the President personally to take over the enforcement of prohibition. It is understood that Governor Pinchot thereby made a bid for the support d f the ♦"dry" forces on behalf of his aspirations for the presidential nomination, meanwhile injuring President Coolidge's chances of nomination unless' the latter can so clearly and' persuasively define his» prohibition attitude as to re-attacli the wavering .support .of the prohibitionists.
