SEES BUSINESS MAN.
AS NEXT PRESIDENT.
Samuel M. VaucIain Declares
People Will Demand Grim
Administrator
DON'T WANT LEGISLATOR

Peoble will demand that the next
PRESIDENT Of the United States be
grim administrator" not a "lcgisla
tor an executive who will handle the
government as great public bust
ness should be handled, according to
Samuel NJ. Vauclain, president Of the
Baldwin Locomotive Works.
According to my point of view." he
SAID today, eve want an administrator.
BY that | mean we have enough legis-
lation on the statute books now, what
we need most is an executive to prop
erly administer affairs.
THE time has come when tne gov,
ernment must be handled ms great
public business. The proper basis would
be to conduct the government with
minimum overhead, yet not TO ne mig
gardiy, for the government must be in
keeping with the dignity of the nation,
Remember. the United States is the
one place on earth where the POOR man
can live properly. This is poor man $
country. and should be kent poo,
mans country. Every effort of the
chief executive should be directed toward
that end.
THE opportunity today for the moor
boy is greater than ever before, and we
should keep it so. There is no country
IN the world like this one-no country
IN the world occupying our present no
sition. All we require is good. whole
some; clear sighted administration. This
viii benefit the plain people, and if thev
benefit all will benefit.
The country at large cannot prosper
and benefit and be successful unless the
pam people prosper and are successful
too.
TO conduct affairs of government as
have outlined will require strength of
character. ,foresightedness and grim
man somewhere. l don't believe fhe
next President will be chosen because
of his political reputation. believe
the people will demand business ad :
ministration.
1--WE must not start out with the
idea that all the administrators of this
government are incompetent or dishon
est, but we do want for next President
man with strength and determination
to serve the country as an administra
for rather than. mere legislator

CHRISTMAS BUYING
TOPS ALL RECORDS
Shoppers Are Purchasing More
Gifts at Higher Prices,
Sales Show
MONEY APPEARS PLENTIFUL

Evcrvbodv's hapny. The stores re-
port that both purchasers and statesmen
are in decidedly better humor than
formerly. Buyers see what they want
and take it. and they have purchased
more presents this Christmas season
than ever before, in spite of the higher
costs.
The volume in money and in the
number of purchases has had an ex-
traordinary boom. Fur coats, high
priced jewclrv and fine pieces of gift
furniture lead, and there threatens to
be n piano and canned music shortage.
Watch for that ob'ong box that was
a little too large to 90 in your stocking.
llt's probably n pair of shoes which
have suddenly been promoted into the
class Of gifts.
From wash machines to diamond dog
collars the purchasing this year caps
the climax that was reached last year.
Money seems to be plentiful and hun
dred dollar purchases are not the least
bit extraordinary.
.Tewclry stores tell of thousands of
dollars that are put into diamonds. Men
who apparently We're unaccustomed to
buying precious stones have bought eX =
pensive bracelets, pearl necklaces, sterl
ing silver household pieces, sometimes
buying before asking the price.
There has been an interesting change
of what might be called Investment
purchases, g." due to the "own your own
home" movement which changed SO
many of the families in this city from
renting" to owning" families. Pieces
of good gift furniture, curtains and
fancy cushions have increased theil
volume of sale. Whole suites of the
kind Of furniture that is regarded as
permanent are included.
Personal articles have either been OF
| the cxtravagant luxury type or else OF
the good practical kind. Underwear oil
the better sort is fixed up in fancy
boxes, and rain coats that use to be
stored upstairs during the Christina,
season have been kept in stock to meet
| and unprecedented sale.
| Apparently there are just three kinds
of purchasers this year, the very rich
who are spending lavishly; the wal
workers, who have more money than
ever before. and the ordinary fellow who
| is getting along on the same amount hC
earned last year. This last is the one
who is buying one present for his wife
| instead of two.
But everybody is buying and every
! body is trying to make the season a re-
markably happy one.
