President becomes a candidate. If we except agriculture the last three years Jiave been the most the country hns. ever known. "As a guest at his camp, the President did not confide to me, nor do I believe has conveyed to anyone an intimation of his Intentions to become a candidate in 11)28. Hut if the fall elections result In the Republicans retaining control of Con-sress and if business continues good throughout the counery, it Is my opinion President Coolldge 'will a candidate for another term, and In all probability a successful candidate.

"If condlfions are right, President Coolldge can break the so-called third term tradition. However, If the Republicans should lose control of the Senate or of the House, or if a serious business depression should come and farm prices should lump, the President would meet with strong opposition. "Discussing the farm situation with him, I found him warmly eym-pathetlo with tha dlflicultles of Western farmers. Yet It is unfortunately true that he has opposed farm-relief legislation, which had the support of Western agricultural organizations, legislation to Which I believe he could safely h.ve given his approval. "The truth Is that, taking the country as a whole, business and industry have thrived as never before, but the farmer has not shared In this prosperity.

The general level of farm prices is now 14 points lower than a year ago. The buying power Index of farm products Is 87, that of non-egrlcultural products 160. WORTH STEEL A. A. TO HOLD CARNIVAL Special to the Kvenlng Journal.
