 He will not carry with him any of the plutocrats, because they are all ready supporting MT.

 His use of the word safe in describing President Coolidge, will suggest companion word sane, which usually accompanies the word safe when used to describe public men and political policies. These, who talk of safe and sane candidate reflect upon the intelligence as well as upon the good purposes Of the masses. President Coolidge will find Mir.
