Coolidge Considers Klan Issue.
PLYMOUTH, Vt., Aug. 23—The Klan issue, avoided by the
Republican convention, was squarely before Coolidge today.
He was considering one of two steps, either to ignore Davis’
speech or prepare a formal answer taking, a definite stand on
the question.
If he answers his opponent, it is believed he will refer to his
acceptance speech dealing with religious and racial equality as
his only .comment. His action one way or the other is expect-
ed today. - <
