COOLIDGE A SAFE HEIR.

There have been 28 Presidents of
the United States. Four of them were
vice presidents and became Chief Ex-
ecutives following the deaths of their
predecessors in Office. Therefore, the
chances for vice president becoming
president before the expiration of his
term may be set roughly at / in z.
Which shows the Importance of elect
ing man to that Office who can dis
charge the duties of President with
ability and dignity should circum-
stances necessitate. Compare the Re-
publican and Democratic candidates.
Governor Coolidge is man of ma
ture experience and judgment, 48
years old, and has been elected IA
times by his fellow citizens to Offices
OF public trust, never knowing a de-
feat. Franklin D. Roosevelt is little
more than a youth, 38 years of age.
Only once was he elected to office,
when he served a term in the New
York State Senate. Since 1913 he
has been serving as assistant secre-
tary of the navy by appointment of
the President, where he has obe-
diently acquiesced in every move of
Mr.. Daniels toward the debilitation of
that branch of the country's defense.
Governor Coolidge is a red-blooded
fighter, of proved ability to meet
situations and decisively dispose of
them to the best interests of the peo-
pie. Mr.. Roosevelt is a dealer in
empty platitudes, Of an essentially
negative character, and utterly lack
ing in that force of personality so
necessary in President.

KILLED BY ELECTRICITY.

ever, before the current was Shut off.
Investigation proved that the wire
was grounded twice between the point

suit. Wilcox, however, won both the
elimination race and the matched race
with Baker of Saginaw. ,ft

Wilcox, Novak and Coy, all of this
city, made the half mile in the best
time of any in the field. Wilcox
traversed it in 34.4 seconds; Novak
in 80 As seconds; and Coy in al Sec
onds. They all drove Fords.
In the Ford race, of five miles there
were five starters, Coy, Wilcox, No
yak, Sawyer and Hoyt. Wilcox took
the lead at the outset and held it un-
til the tenth lap. Then, when the
green flag was waved at him, he
thought it was the finish flag and
slowed down. Coy, who had been
pressing him all the way, read the
flag correctly and on the stretch, shot
past Wilcox and was under the wire
before Bob realized that the race was
not over. Coy's time for the five miles
was seven minutes and one second

two seconds. Novak finished third, in

was Wilcox, 10 minutes and one and
one-fifth seconds, Baker finished Sec
ond and Coy third.
Wilcox won the matched race of
five miles with Baker, but had Baker
not had an accident on the fourth lap,
it might have been different. Baker
got away in front but Wilcox passed
him on the second lap, and from then
until the fourth, the cars took the
turns together. AS Baker was making
the west turn on this lap, however, his
car skidded and turned completely
around. 1t did not tip over nor hit
the fence, however, Baker showing
great skill in getting her back in the
track. He lost half lap by the ac-
cident, but finished only few lengths
behind Bob. The time for this event
was six minutes and 81 seconds.
The races were thrilling and time
after time the entire crowd in the
stands was on its feet, yelling franti-
cally. Despite the speed at which the
cars took the turns there were no ac-
cidents of any consequence.

SOUND MINDS HELP SOUND
BODIES.

Few persons realize as they read of
the exploits of our athletes in the
Olympic games that it is due to bill
conceived by Republicans and enacted
by a Republican Congress that they
are now in Antwerp and winning hon
ors for America. By special act of
Congress an Army transport was
placed at the disposal of the Ameri-
can Olympic committee on which to
transport the contestants abroad.
Had not that facility been provided
it is possible that America would not
have participated in the games, as the
crowded condition of the passenger
liners and the high rates would have
made it prohibitive.

SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE


 There wasn't any way under the law by which MT. Eubanks and his assistant, the Rev. Aregood, could have been prevented from speaking here.
 Technically they had right to deliver an address, even though they are proven disciples of anarchy and disorder. Legally they are free men with all the rights of American citi- zens. But, for the actual danger they do and the potential danger they fepresent, they should be locked up or eNilcd. The way in which they were handled here was the simplestf and the most effective way that could have been found. It is respectfully commended to other cities where they have been or are likely to be active The members of Pine Bluffs labor organizations in the matter of the strike and in this most recent affair have earned the admiration and re- spcct of every citizen. They have shown that the radical will not be tolerated here. They have shown that this city and this section is no field for a bolshevist worker. They arc to be congratulated.
