most in President COolidge's behalf.
In many ways the comparison be-

Calvin Coolidge resemble his immor-

Republican Party In Maine
The condition of the Republican
party of Maine at the present time is
disturbing. If things are allowed TO

threatens and every well informed
person in this audience knows it. AS
I am not a candidate for Office and

4 year, no one can speak more freely.

position. Others are entitled 10 this
