"NOT FOR A BITTER PARTISAN FIGHT FOR RE-ELECTION"

COOLIDGE ENGROSSED IN AFFAIRS OF GOVERNMENT, NOT CAMPAIGN DETAILS

Washington, D.C. (JFK+50) On July 23, 1924, Robert T. Small of The Evening Star reports that President Calvin Coolidge "appears far more engrossed in the affairs of government...than in the details of the coming campaign."

Friends of the President of the United States, according to Small, say that Mr. Coolidge "has never believed a President should make a bitterly partisan fight for re-election."
