 through the woods, which leads to election" He contended that the c. 0, P, has nothing to which it can point with pride. ''They have made few promises and I don't blame them. They are satisfied to so be- fore the electors with a creature of their own imaginations and 10 ask for the vote because of q man of straw which will be knocked down, possibly, on November 4,"
 He contended that the c. O. r. has made an issue of LaFollette and has predicted what they say will happen If he gets Into office, painting in horrible colors what he is going to do to the country. He said that the party Is telling the people to vote for Coolidge or starve. as the anarchists will be in possession of the country if LaFol- lette Is elected. q don't know whether they believe that or not" said the speaker.
 '. S. Will Carry On
 "l believe that there are enough intelligent voters in this country to see that the United States will go on as it should" he said and cited as the reason for discontent the plutocracy which the c. o. P. has set up,
 He spoke Of the Wrigley case, the case of the chewing gum king who has given large sums into the Republican campaign fund, stating that 1t is the mans privilege. There is no tariff on chewing gum" he added. That's all right. But, shortly after William Wrigley purchased sugar mill in Senator Shoots own state. that mill, a part of the American Sugar trust, asked that there be no reduction in the tariff on sugar.
 Tt was recommended to the president, however, that there be a reduction. The president said he would consider the question and he is still considering it. Word came indirectly from the White House short time ago that the president would make no decision on the case until after the election"

 He said that he spoke of Coo lidge as president with veneration, but Coolidge, as a candidate, must stand questioning, as it is the right of the people.
 Patriotism Capitalized? He spoke of the presidents vetO of the soldiers bonus bill and of the axioms of patriotism rccited by Coolidge at that time. He then told of story brought out recent- ly to the effect that the president, at that time vice-president, had in one instance accepted s250 and expenses to address patriotic meeting in Bridgeport. If that story is true I am beginning to think that patriotism can be capi- talized," he said.

 If l go to congress l will go, ac- tuated by the impulse to give all a fair break. Neither capitol nor la bor should be oppressed. I am sin cere in my wish to benefit every one and will do ny best to keep the back door to government by mono poly and the creation of plutocracy closed"
