Louis Coolidge Utters the Cruel
Words at Meeting Of Wisconsin

The foregoing statement was made by
Louis A. Coolidge, assistant secretary of
the Treasury in an address before the

Commenting on Mr. Bryan's record Mr..
Coolidge declared the. Nebraskan has
accepted every fieeting doctrine that has
entered his fertile imagination which
seemed to catch the popular fancy and
bore the slightest semblance of a vote
getter. Regardless of his lightning
changes and many new and novel ideas
for the betterment of the country he has
never been successful. and l think if
much stress is placed his past per-
formances and his probable future per-
formances he never will be elected.
Mr. Coolidge concluded by emphasizing
the necessity Of electing a republican
Congress
Commissioner Capers gave his views of
what Mr. Bryan could do with govern
ment employees by changing the civil
service laws should he be elected.
II don't say he would do it, Mr.. Ca
pers said. but simply that he could do
1t and l have a feeling that de will do II
if elected. However, there is no fear
on that point, because there is every rea-
