ing Coolidge and that is strong and
convincing indication that his leader
ship will carry the Republican party
to victory"
From Ohio-"In this section Mr..
Coolidge seems to be quite popular,
even among the Democrats. The La
Follette-Bryan combination will have
the effect of solidifying the vote of the
sensible people of the country in favor
Of the Republican ticket as the posi-
bilities expressed that LaFollette will
carry enough states to throw the elec-
tion into the House of Representative
and place the country at the mercy OF
the InsurgentDemocrats will have a
deterrent effect as against both the
other parties"
From Ohio-"There Is admiration
more than party-wide for the silent
man who shoots straight and plays
fair. I personally know a dozen men
who fought the President bitterly in
the pre-bonus days who declare they
will vote for him because he says what
he thinks and thinks what he says.
And there is something almost Roose-
veltian in the personality OF General
Dawes that attracts and holds the
younger men of all parties. This is an
agricultural district. peopled with Old
New England stock. and they have
more faith in a structure built brick by
brick than by rubbing any Aladdin's
lamp. There is little sympathy here
for LaFollette and his principles"
From Iowa - President Coolidge
stands high in the estimation OF all the
people. They like his honesty and
thriftiness and his determination to
save the peoples money. Davis is of
good Presidential timber but there is
nothing about him to appeal to a Re
publican above Coolidge"
From Iowa-"Davis is strong man
personally but will not appeal to West
ern Democrats who will turn to La
Toilette in large numbers in the cities
and towns. Most Republicans viii
stay with their ticket as they admire
Coolidge for his stand for economy
and his courage OF conviction. Demo
Gratis are not satisfied. Republicans
are"
/ From Wyoming - THE situation
could not be better so far as Republi-
cans are concerned. The Democratic
party is defeated before it starts in.
LaFollette has no constructive appeal
to anybody that would be with us at
election time. The people generally
are much pleased with Coolidge and
Dawes, have every confidence in them.
/ and desire them TO be the President
and Vice President"
From New Hampshire-'T have a
number of dyed-in-the-wool Democrats
tell me they are for Coolidge first. last
and all the time. and think a big ma
jority OF the people will be found in
line for him on election day in No
vember"
I From Connecticut-"In attempting
to satisfy all OF their widely separated
factions. the Democrats seem to have
satisfied none. The people want a
continuation OF the sort OF admins
tration that Calvin Coolidge has given
them thus far
From Illinois-"The people feel that
both the Republican candidates are
honest, capable. loyal American ciu-
zens. What more could the voter ask
FOR? The rank and file over the coun-
try have a deep-seated conviction that
Coolidge is safe and sane and that he
will not spend two dollars when one
will do the work. have talked with
many Democrats in this section who
are going to vote for Coolidge"
From Montana-'Democra in num-
bers have stated their intention to
vote for Coolidge because they con
slider him a level-headed conscientious
President Even the ex-service men
give him credit for having the courage
OF his convictions"
From California-"Unless there Is a
tremendous and totally unexpected re.
versal OF public opinion twixt now and
election. California will go over.
