WALL ST. WANTS COOLIDGE FOR PRESIDENT.
MAY EVEN YET TAKE PLACE IN LISTS, SOME OBSERVERS BELIEVE. (United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Received May 17, 9.15 a.m.) NEW YORK, May 16. 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 of defeating Governor Smith and they are very doubtful about that, too. What is the true story about the Mellon talk and the reappearance o Coolidge’s silhouette on the political screen ? The truth is, as Wall Stree knows, that Mrs Coolidge does no want him to run. She has had all she wants of White House. “She 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 his Party to accept nomination if it is thrust upon him, irrespective of his own views and those of the First Lady in 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 impulse in this market.”—Australian Press Association.
