COOLIDGE PRESIDENT Vice-President Sworn In at Plymouth,, Vermont, This Mornln; WASHINGTON, Au?. 3. Calvin Coollde. Vice President of the United States, was sworn In as President before the nearest Judge at his home town of Plymouth, Vermont, this mornlno. He announce that he would carry out the Harding policies and desired that "those who had assisted the late President In his administration shall remain and assist me." Cooliri?e is expected to arrive In Washington to-day to assume the Presidency. The cabinet will formally resign but It Is expected that their resignations will not be accepted and that the administration will proceed alonn the present lines unchanged for the present. At the request of President Hardlno, Calvin Cool-Idge had been a member of the cabinet family as a precedent. He sat regularly In the cabinet councils and thus unknowllngly was preparing himself to pick up the threads of national and International affairs where they were dropped so suddenly from the lifeless hands of his predecessor. On his shoulders Destiny has thrown the mantle of authority. CANADIANS ARE RETURNING NOW Department of Immigration Re ports Great Increase In Numbers of People Entering OTI'AWA.
