CALVIN COOLIGE'S
CREED


the Republican Publicity association
through its president, Hon. Jonathan
Bourne, Jr.,. today issued the follow
ing statement from It's Washington
headquarters:
1.-THE greatest lesson we have to
learn" says Governor Coolidge, the
Republican vice presidential nom
Tree, "is to seek ever the pulic well
fare. And II is with clear eye TO
the public welfare that he has dis
charged his duties as chief executive
of Massachusetts. His ringing reply
to te iretigators OF the Boston pc
lice strike, who sought to subordin-
ate the interests of the public to the
demands of small majority, will
90 down IN histoI.' as a typical Am
erican declaration - freedom from
the domination of any individual,
group, os class that seeks to over
come the great body of the people.
"In addressing recently a college
graduating class Mr.. Coolidge re-
minded his hear, rs that all ou free
dom comes from the support of CON
stituted authority. He warned those
who might be inclined to revolt
against those in power to consider
whether they were planning to tear
down or TO build Up. This nation
was founded as the result of revo-
luton the governor recalled. But
those who fought claimed always
that theoirs was not an attempt to
destroy, bbt to maintain their Am
erican heritage II is in the main
tenance of that heritage that Gov
ernor Coolidge has exerted himself
during his two terms as governor of
Massachusetts,, and it is to that prin-
ciple that heis dedicated should he
be elected Vice President COT the
United States
AS the present administration has
constantly been looslng the support
and confidence of the people
through its incorporating insis-
tence of the policy of International
ism and consequent currended of
American sovereignty, so tht Repub-
liGan party will increasingly gain
that trust and endorsement by it's
steadfast adherence to true Ameri-
canism. In Harding and Coolidge
he party has found a team who EN-
bodied the spirit of nationalism and
American first.
The first duty of a government is
to bt true to itself, reminds Gov.
Coolidge, referring to the tendency
OF the present day to abandon nat
ional welfare for experiments in
world reformation.
This does not mean perfection, he
says. 1t means plan to strivt for
perfection. It means loyalty to
/ ideals. The ideals of Amtrica were
SO out in the Declaration of Indep-
endence and adopted In the Consti-
tuition. They did not reprtsent per
fecion attained but perfection plann-
ed. The fundafental principle was
freedom. The fathers knew this
was not yet apprehendtd. They
formed government firm in the
faith It was ever to press toward thii
high mark.
Freedom as as distinguished from
domination by domestic OF foreign
organizations. devotion to the public
welfart regardless of the demands
of special interests, strict Adhere
ence to the laws and obedience Il
the constituted authorities who en-
force them-athat is tint creed o
Calvin Coolidge, and the goal I,
which he has aspired while admins
tering the affairs ofo his State, ant
to which Q will direct himself whel
he assumes the Wet Presidential
chair.
AS prerequisites to the attain
ment of those fundamentals Of GOO
