Just what President Coolidge used the word "choose" in his announcement as regards the Presidency is defined by the "Boston Transcript," which states that as employed in New England, the word adds a certain positiveness to assertions of inten-1 tion, and the only construction of which the phrase is capable in New England is: "I am unwilling to run for the Presidency in 1928." The paper wishes that President Coolidge had been more explicft, but says the utterance is essentially characteristic.
Means to Retire.
Rapid City, Yesterday. While the country has been speculating as to just what is meant by President Coolidge's statement, the conviction that he really means to retire is gaining ground here.
President Coolidge, however, maintains a strict silence, the only remark he has made is that he thought it the right time to make
such a statement.
