Advocated; More Reform
In Taxes is Promised.
WASHINGTON', Aug. 15. Presi
dent Co'olidge, accompanied by his
family and several members of the
White House staff, left here this aft
ernoon for u two week's vacation at
his old borne at Plymouth, Vt. His
car was attached to a regular train
which will reach its destination early
tomorrow morning.
In addition to Secretary Slemp,
Major J. L. Coupal, the president's
physician and.G. C. Geisser, his pri
vate secretary accompanied the Cool
idge family to Vermont.
- Party Now Enroute. ,
The president's car and that .car
rying other members of the party were
attached to a regular train, which
will arrive in Ludlow early tomor
row. From there tho president will
motor to Plymouth, 12 scales away.
Mr. Coolidge plans to leave Plymouth

The nominee was applauded time
and again last night as he outlined
the principles on which lie will seek

exercises in Memoriul Continental
hall before the leaders of his party.
Laws Enforced, He Says.
"A government of common sense,"
was Mr. Coolidge's reply to an issue
of "liberal thought and progressive
notion," "As to honest government,"
he asserted that "the laws of the
land are being and will continue to
be enforced."
"The government is sound," the

enforced."
In addition to tax reduction, the
nominee asked for "more tax reform"
and insisted on a program of eco
nomy in government. In agriculture,

laws as through the working out of
economic laws."

TEXT OF COOLIDGE -ADDRESS V i ,
OF ACCEPTANCE LAST NIGHT
Republican Nominee Hopes for Profitable
Agriculture; Says Home Markets Saved
HIGH POINT9 IN COOLIDGE
ACCEPTANCE SPEECH
Republican party record In
reorganizing nation's finances
extolled.
Protective tariff held to
have averted destruction of
home- markets.
Every possible effort pledged
to resist corruption In office.
Intention declared to bring
United States Into Internation
al court of justice.
Dawes plan declared solution
of Europe's pressing problems.
Declaration made for aid
towards making agriculture
profitable.
Record of government econ
omy set out and promise made
for continuation of economical
effort.
Opposition to excess profit
taxes and surtaxes reaffirmed.
You bring forninl notice, Mr.
Chairman, of a nomination for
President of the United States.
Our Bystem of nominations Is not
the outcome of chance. It Is the
product of experience. Very early
In their search for a sound meth
od of self-government the Amer
ican people discovered that the
only practical way to secure re
sponsible political action was by
the formation of parties, which
they adopted because reason pro
nounced It the most promising,
and continued because practice
found it the most successful.
Underneath and upholding polit
ical nartles was. and Is, the en
during principle that a true citi
zen of a real Republic can not
exist as a segregated, unattached
fragment of selfishness, but muat
live as a constituent part or tne
whole of society, in which he can
secure his own weuare oniy as
he secures the welfare of hla fel
low men.
Party means political cooper
ation, not as an end In itself,
but a means, an Instrument of
government. If founded upon a
great moral principle and directed
with scrupulous regard for Its In
tegrity, It can not fall to sweep
onward and upward, advancing al
ways steadily and surely, a mighty
constructive force, a glorious bear
er of progress.
That Is what the Republican
Party always has been and Is to-
iday. In full faith that such It
'will continue to be, deeply con
scious of the high honor It con
ifers and the responsibility It lia-
poses, I accept Kb nomination for
President of the United States.
Recent Record Recalled.
In the history of our country
Is recorded the public services
rendered by our party for more
than threescore years. That Is
secure. I pass on to the recent
past and the present.
It la eaBy to forget, but the
Impression which the condition
made upon the neonle was no
deep, so vivid, ao alarming, 'that
It will not soon pass away. Over
two years aftor the armistice we
were still technically In a Btate
of war. We had not diplomatic
relations with Turkey, Greece,

As Result of Shooting.
, I.OS ANGELKS, Aug. 15. The
gun that killed Mis. Thsresa Mors,
for whose death Kid McCoy, ex-pugilist,
is being held, was held within two
feet of her head, a fact that might
tend to support McCoy's story of the
woman's suicide, the uuto'psy surgeon
umiounced today,
Smokoleas Powder Used
Dr. II, A. Waguor, tho county au
topsy surgeon, Who made this state
ment after an examination of tho
wound, tho automatic pistol, believed
Iff hnvo been used m the shooting, and
tho discharged' cartridge, declared that
tho bullot which caused, death wis
propelled by Rmokeless powder, which
would account for tho absence of pow
der burns about tho wuund.
McCoy, after several hours of In
coherent statement, following his ar
rest otiiicsuoy, settled back un a
story that Mrs. Mora, divorced wife
of Alhort Mors, wealthy antique deal
er, killed herself In his presence Tues
day night, last, during a fit of,,do-
spiindrncy.
Throughout, 'several sovnro grllllnga
by police Investigators nnd members
of the district attorney's office, ho
has maintained his story, which the
polico hove declared impossible of be
lief, owing to the absence of powder
burns on the Head woman's temple.
Tho , Investigators' theory Is that
McCoy and tho woman, who had been
living together, under assumed names,
quarreled and that tho former Idol of
tho prise ring shot her In a fit of rage
or jealousy, ;
No Deflate Decision
Dr. Wagner refused to make a def.
Inlto pronouncement supporting the
suicide theory without further exam
ination, confining his statement to the
assertion that "at present It would
appear to be a case of suicide, but
thcro aro so many posslhlo circum
stances involved, no final deduction
can bo made now." '
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 15. A

Kig McCoy as he sat in a jail cell
here today, awaiting the hour of a
