BUTLER TO RETAIN SUPREME COMMAND OF G.O.P. PARTY MACHINERY IN COMING CAMPAIGN
Washington, D.C. (JFK+50) On June 17, 1924, The Evening Star reports William M. Butler* of Massachusetts, chairman of the Republican National committee, "will remain in supreme command of the party machinery in the coming campaign."
This news comes despite reports to the contrary. President Calvin Coolidge believes, states The Star, that the "real management of the campaign should be in the hands of the national chairman."
