Coolidge, Stunning Political Tricks,
Making Big Hit With Plain People

speaking chap. He was talking of the way
tact feel.
"We are pretty low in spirits about beat
ing Coolidge in 1924" he said 81 take it that
he is going to be nominated. although per-
sonally would prefer Hiram Johnson But
as l look at it, Coolidge is the republican
party's one best bet,' and all these other
prospective candidates will be just barking
up tree.
"Once nominated, if the republican fac
tions stand together, as they will have to do
or else turn the country over to US again, he
will be powerfully hard to beat. Indeed,
about all we would have to count upon would
be his making some big mistake in admins
tration, in foreign policy or in row with
Congress"
Now, it falls out that this utterance
chimes in with similar things | have heard
in the high councils of the democratic party
the prominent leaders" so hippantly spoken
OF aforegoing. The democrats are waiting
for President Coolidge to come cropper,"
someway, somehow, they can't exactly fig
ure out, but ready to seize upon the disaster
if it occurs.
Indeed, it might be said that this attitude
is very much that of the supposed prospec-
tive rival aspirants for the nomination, who
are counting upon his falling down before
they can climb up.
The "hard- boiled" politicians, those who
count a bird in hand worth two in the BUSH
who want. to visualize actual assets rather
than possibilities and who won't do busi-
ness" until they can assay the actualities at
their real and not speculative value, are de-
scribed as taking the view that President
Coolidge has more liquid assets which can
be realized upon in the political market than
any one else in the background-since there
seems to be none in the foreground, though
doubtless "in leash"
They, therefore, are lining up behind
President Coolidge, as if sensing which side
their bread is buttered on, and making a
mighty phalanx ready to become available
when the big leaders give the word to swing
into line.
In politics it is classed as a mighty thin
reed to lean upon, this waiting for the other

BY N. o. MESSENGER.

DRESIDENT COOLIDGE, in the opin-
ion of men with whom the present
writer has talked in New York and
New Jersey in the course of the past few
days, is growing in public favor and con-
fdence. These men were not the hackneyed
prominent leaders" whom we political
"sharps" are wont so often to quote second
hand, but were solid, substantial business
folk and people to whom politics is but
"side line" and not the breath of their nos
trils.
Their explanation of their own attitude
and of their neighbors who agreed with
them was that the President has evidenced
not only possession, but application, of such
qualities of good common sense, practically,
self-submersion and appreciation of his
tasks and duties to give promise of his going
on an even keel and holding the confidence
of the people so spontaneously given him
when he took up the Office of Chief Execu-
tive.
This feeling which was found to be wide
spread among republicans, may be analysed
as tending to make it Rocky Road to
Jordan" for other aspirants for the republi-
can nomination in 1924. There is no doubt
that President Coolidge has even at this
early day in the race made long running
start likely to be very difficult of overcoming
by would-be rivals.
Perhaps confirmation of this assertion
may be found in the silence of those gentle
men who naturally could be looked upon as
prospective candidates for the nomination,
and from whom nothing has been heard au-
thoritatively up to date. Is it not to be as
sumed that they are soaking in some of the
atmosphere which seems everywhere prev
alent and are discouraged? They are wait
ing in conformity with the demand that the
President be 'given chance to make good"
and he seems to be doing. so with alacrity
and dispatch.

President Will Get
Support of People

Assurances that President Coolidge
will get strong popular support when
nominated by the republican party
for election are given by repub-
lican representatives from all parts
of the country as they drift into
Washington. after sounding out SEN
timent "back home"
These ref1exes show that the peo-
pie are showing an unusually good
disposition to help the President
rather than to KNOCK" even while
they are dissatisfied with conditions
closely affecting themselves.
For example. Representative Charles
Brand of the seventh Ohio district,
says: 1.-THE people are patriotically
back Of Mr.. Coolidge. and are much
more interested in helping him than
In finding fault. To run against him
won't prove a path of roses, unless
he somehow disappoints the public.
''The people are not exactly con-
tented. though. Everything they buy
costs too much. and they don't feel
that. they are getting their moneys
worth. The butcher. the baker and
the CdHuicStiCh tHdher are all or

farmers feel 1t most. because their

One thing which amazes the "hard-boiled'
politicians is the consistent modesty and
seeming indifference of the President about
his political future, and his success in keep
ing politics in the background as he goes
ahead keeping the administration of his Of
fce very much in the limelight. Faith, it's a

No fireworks, no grandstand plays. no pro-

AS referred to in a previous chapter,
there may be interesting developments in
New Jersey this week, when the republicans
get together and decide upon ratifying or
rejecting the plan proposed by some, of the
leaders last week to come out for light wines
and beer as republican doctrine. The uti-
mate action cannot now be forecast, as it is
a battle between the opportunists and the
rock-ribbed dry and reform elements in the
party.
The practical politicians who regard the
end and not the means as the greatest con-
sideration-that is to say, the possibility of
regaining power in the state as more desir-
able than adherence to the principle of pro-
hibition-having grown weary of repeated
drubbings at the hands of the vets with their
policy of opposition to the Volstead act, are
coming to clinches with. the women's vote,
the farmer vote and the reform vote on the
question of light wines and beer.
The hard boiled leaders are said to have
become utterly discouraged with the pros
poets of even holding their own, let alone
gaining anything, by their adherence to the
dry side. As there will be seat in the SEN
ate at stake next year, they are disposed to
loosen up on the wet and dry question and
cast out net for those republicans who
went over to the democrats on the issue.
As one robin does not make spring, the
desertion of one state, should the wet pro-
gram go through, would not seriously affect
the prohibition question for the national re-
publican party, believed to be for prohibition.
But if the wet republicans are beaten by the
woman and farmer and reform votes, it is
held that it would discourage similar defec-
tions from the party's general policy on the
liquor question in other states.

unprecedented in arising out of an
aristocratic republic instead of a
conquering monarchy and in having
legal tradition of a strength and
prestige unknown to any previous
community. 1t was unprecedented
in its disposition to extend its citi-
zenship beyond Its initial boundaries.
Its expansion was concurrent with an
increasing use of coined money and
of credit based upon coined money;
its economic and financial system

There has indeed only been one
real empire in the world. this that
centered upon Rome and the Medi-
terranean. Britain played certain
part in this empire. Henry VIII for
example was imperial candidate
against Charles " and the King OF
France, but the role OF Britain
therein has generally been a mar
ginal one. The Importance OF Eng
land to mankind began only when 1t
turned its face from the empire and
from thoughts of the empire to the
ocean. What we call today the Brit
ish empire is a new thing and diff
ferent thing than the Roman empire,
created by new and greater forces
and deserving an entirely distinc-
tive name.
The fifteenth and sixteenth CEN
turtles saw a great process OF change
in human conditions that has been
going on until the present time.
From the point of view of one who
discusses political or economic ag-
glomeratfons, the most important
thing In that great revolution has
of communication between man and
man. That revolution began with
the appearance of the ocean-going
sailing ship and of printed paper;
it reached it's climax nowadays in
wireless telegrapfy and the airplane.
Communications Make Change.
1t is now a commonplace, though
for many historians and scholars 1t
is quite a recent discovery. that any
change in communications involves
new economic. strategic and political
adjustments. For a score Of cen-
tunes the horse, the horse-drawn
vehicle, the handmade highroad. the
parchment document, the public
speaker and vocal teacher and a
feeble coastal shipping had been the
limiting conditions Of statecraft.
Under these conditions the idea of
the empire had been the highest po-
lttical idea in mems minds. Now,
however, in that age of renaissance,
the ocean, which had been an ulti-
mate barrier, became almost suddenly
a highway and the printed book and
presently the newspaper. quickened
masses in the community, hitherto
politically ineffective, into informed
activity. The politics and statecraft
of Europe, obsessed-still to this day
obsessed-by the doomed imperial
tradition, began nevertheless a
clumsy, slow adaptation to this proc
ess of material change, unable to
ignore it's pressures and compulsions,
but evidently indisposed to recognize
its nature.
I use this word "indisposed" de-
liberately. The political mind. like
the legal mind to which 1t Is so
