COOLIDGE As STEADFAST
AS VERMONT MOUNTAINS,
SAYS,FORMER GOVERNOR

Seconding the nomination of Presi-

liam W. Stickney of Vermont said:
Vermont. the birthplace of the
President and beneath the shadows
of whose hills five generations Of
his family sleep, seconds the nomin-
alton of Calvin, Coolidge to succeed
himself in the high once which he
now so ably filfS
In his boyhood Calvin Coolidge be-
came a dilgent student of govern
ment and public affairs. During all
service, from the beast to the greatest.
he seems to have been guided by the
wisdom of the founders of his native
state. who wrote into their con-
stitution: That frequent recurrance
to fundamental principles and 8 firm
adherence to justice, moderation,
temperance. industry and frugality
are absolutely necessary to preserve
the blessings of liberty and keep gov
ernment free
For a lifetime I have known the
Presidents father intimately and well
recollect his grandfather. Both in
. their time were frequently called. by
popular vote, to administer public
ONCE.
With truth 1t can be stated as
family characteristics which the
President exemplifies in q marked, de-
gree that they never wasted any
time, they never wasted any words.
and they never wasted any public
money.
Vermont. and with her all New
England, seconds the nomination of
Calvin Coolidge not because he was
born there, but because he thinks
straight. acts after deliberations and
then stands fast as the hills which
surround the home of his youth.
With him as our standerd bearer
victory is assured"

BREAK IHS0LID SOUTH
FORECAST AS SPEAKER
SECONDS NOMINATION
By the Associated Press.


Speaking for the south. Isaac N.
Meekins Of North Carolina seconded the
nomination Of President Coolidge before
the Republican national convention To-
day.
The great southland" he said. ~is
alive with hundreds Of Thousands of
loyal, brave-and enthusiastic men and
women who cast their votes with the
Republican party. Tremendous gains
have been accomplished. In my state
nearly quarter of million of votes
were poiIed for Warren G. Harding
In 1870. The last national election
saw Tennessee turn from the sister
hood OF southern Democracy and
walk into tine Republican column.
Mo,e will follow in due time.
The electoral vote of North Caro-
Tina alone gained to the Republican
cause would onset the loss of more
than four Republican states l could
name. The same effort to carry
North Carolina that will be made to
carry either of these four states and
the trick would be turned. The Demo-
cratic regime there, torn with dis
cord and disse nsion from within,
hangs, like Absalom, by the hair.
Hope OF the Southland.
The citizenship of the south, as in
all other sections of the nation. look s
to this convention for salvation and
this convention is equal to the de-
mand. Ours is not the task merely
of nominating a Republican candi-
date for the presidency, but the
privilege of seh.cting the next Presi-
vention will appoint unto all the
people a President under whose
standard every section is protected.

The man whom this convention
will name no section can deny, and
every section can acclaim. / hold the
commission of the Republicans of the
south to second the nomination of
their choice for President of this
great republic. -
Moral Structure Lauded.
"In Calvin Coolidge character is
the fruit and result of his life. From
first to last, there is not an incon-
sist ency in his moral structure
Evey fiber in his nature, strong as
anch or chains, counts for something

Calvin Coolidge is stronger than

TENANTS PLAN
REVISION Of
RENT BILL
League Hopes to Make New
Measure "Fool-Proof" by
Pruning

Revision and re.introduction of
the Lampert bill for a permanent
rent commission is to be undertaken
by the District Tenants League in
Congress next month, it was learned
today.
The original bill, lost in the leg
islative jam Of the last session of
Congress, was believed too verbose.
1t contained, moreover, one or two
provisions which might well have
been omitted, in the opinion of those
who studied the measure later.
I'VE feel that the Senate and
House committees are familiar with
the terms Of this bill, and this will
save unnecessary wrangling and
loss Of time" said Mrs. Henry, c..
Brown, secretary of the Tenants
League, today. 1--WE must make
the bill fool-proof. We must prune
1t, and perhaps there are some
things that should go in, and some
that should come out"
One Will Go to Capitol.
The tenants may have to discuss
certain features of the proposed bill
before reaching an amicable conclu-
sion, but they are all determined
that only one bill will go to the
Capitol when Congress convenes
next month.
The bill will be talked over at the
mass meeting of tenants and prop.
erty owners of the District in Cen.
trail High School auditorium. Satur-
day night.
1--WE know the errors of showing
q divided front to Congress-" said
Mrs. Brown, today. 1--WE know that
If the Senate and House committees
think the tenants do not know
what they want, because of a multi.
plicity Of bills, Congress will do
nothing.
Not Emergency Measure.
what we want is bill that will
be fair to tenant and landlord alike.
I believe that standard lease
should be included in a provision Of
the bill, to protect both landlord ana
tenant. Furthermore, this bin is to
be one for a permanent rent com.
mission. 1t is distinctly not an
emergency measure"
