The announcement by Mr. Stearns
is expected to serve temporarily at
least in place of any direct personal
statement: from the president on the
dilution. The declaration of the
candidacy. however. has come as no
rprlse at this time following as it
does his declaration to policies in his
' usl message to Congress and co-
suckling with the annual meeting
here this week of the Republican na-
gtlonal committee and with what is
regarded as virtually the selection of
‘ Cloyeiand, through the withdrawal
by Chicago Saturday of its invitation
for the Republican national conven-
tion next year.
For some time friends of. Mr_
Coolidge had urged him to make his
position known soon and it had been
plsnned by some of them to have
the president’s candidacy indicated
in a response to the recent unani—
mous indorsement given him by the
South Dakota Republican proposal
convention.
