CAPPER FOR THIRD TERM FOR COOLIDGE Continued From First Page. President becomes candidate. If we except agriculture--the last three years have been the most prosperous. the country has. ever known.

"As a guest at his camp, the Prestdent did not confide to me, nor do I believe he has conveyed to anyone an intimation of his Intentions- to become a candidate in 1928. But if the fall elections result in the Republicans rethining control of Congress and if business continues good throughout the counery, it is my opinion President Coolidge will be a candidate for another term, and in all probability successful candidate. "If conditions are right, President Coolidge 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 slump, the President would meet with strong opposition. "Discussing the farm situation with him, I found him warmly eympathetic with the difficulties 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 have 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 nonagricultural products 160. WORTH STEEL A.
