Coolidge Won't Run Again Says Moses in New York
Senator George H. Moses of New Hampshire, head of the Republican Senatorial Campaign committee, announced that President Coolidge will not seek a second term in 1928. Moses said Coolidge dislikes facing four years of diminuendo and predicted a Republican elector in 1928. He declined to name a nominee, but suggested Governor Smith could be the Democratic candidate if the convention adopts the no-thirds rule, noting it would fracture the solid South. He added that no Tammany man could win the presidency.
