The Chautauqua will come back

A Republican who is a republican
because he is fed from the public
pork barrell is not worthy the name
Calvin Coolidge is doing what he
was elected to do-he is reducing ex-
penses and while he has not reduced
the pensions, yet there are some who
think he should have increased pen
sions to the soldiers. The country
cannot stand any more expenses, and
those who are receiving good pay al
ready from the public treasury
SHOULD be mighty glad that their
salaries are not any lower. The
time will come when this country
will have to lower pensions, salar-
les and other expenses, and all Of us
might as well get ready for that
time even tho it may be ten years off.

A Weekley Panorma of Events in the
National Capital
By PETER KEEGAN
Special Correspondent of
The Progressive

THE REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN
to keep Coolidge in the White House
and to bring the irresponsible Dawes
to Washington to preside over the
Senate gets under way just as the
DemocratsI are treking toward the
New York to name their candidate.
At this writing it appears that
neither McAdoo nor Smith can win
the nomination-that they will wear
each other out in the opening ballot
ing at Madison Square Garden and
will then have to agree on dark
horse so that the weary delegates can
get away from the high priced hotels
and go home. John w Davis and
Samuel Ralston are suggested as
likely compromise candidates.
THE FAMOUS "Old Guard" of the
Republican Party is relegated to the
rear and then some in the organiza-
ton. They have all felt the Cool
idge axe, welded by the forceful if
not clever Butler and they have taken
their medicine. Many of them are
resentfuI and their resentment will
flare up time and time again against
the Massachusetts manufacturer who
displaced them in the command Of
their party.
MARION LEROY BURTON, the
Michigan college president, who nom
mated Mr.. Coolidge in the Cleveland
convention is destined for a public
Office. should the Republican ticket
successful in November 1t is said
here that the President would like to
see him at the head of the proposed
federal Department of Education and
Welfare, endorsed in the Republican
platform, and provided Aor in the
pending plan for reorganization OF
the government machinery.
AL the biting phraseology at the
command of these Democratic lead
ers skillful with the pen will be
brought into play at the New York
convention in drafting the platform.
The first complete platform which
will be laid before the Democratic
Committee on Resolutions came from
the hand of Carter Glass, the junior

The Dawes supporters after the de-

THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY
PRINCIPLES

Cleveland o., June Ia, 1924 The
outstanding feature of the eighteen
tn National Convention of the Re-
publican party, which has just con-
Guided its labors here, was the voic-
ing by the delegates Of their faith in
Calvin Coolidge The President and
his running mate, Chas. G. Dawes,
another striking example Of sterling
American manhood go before the vot
ers on a platform which should win
for the Republican ticket the votes
of many Democrats. The platform
is free from political bunkum. 1t
is an honest, straightforward state
ment Of the things for which the Re-
publican party stands.
A brief summary of the platform
shows that the President and his
party are pledged to governmental
economy; to tax reforms that will
still further reduce the burden Of
taxation; that the strictest scruting
will be made 80 that the Integrity Of
the Budget System may be preserved
1t declares that the Republican adj
ninistration slashed 100000, 900
from the cost Of government and eli
minated $4,000 employees from the
payrolls; that the Administration
lifted the tax burden some $780,
600 900 per annum, at the same time
reducing the pubic debt by over ST.
SOC, 900 900.
The platform refers to the fact that
in 1920, when the Republicans took
office, that there were about three
million men out Of work in the coun-
try and that today there is little il
any unemployment. The party is
pledged to give to the farmer all nee
essary government assistance in or
ganizing and establishing a system
for the cooperative marketing Of
to aid and simplify as well as the
cheapening of our marketing and dis
tributing machinery. 1t promises
departmental help in diversifiedfarm-
ing and, if necessary, direct financial
aid during the transition period Of
diversification. There is also Pied
ge to continuous and vigorous effort
to strengthen and broaden the export
markets.
In the matter of railroads rates.
there is declaration for revision
with "a view to reduce the rates on
agricultural products. Aid for good
highways is urged. The new immi-
grafton law is indorsed. In the mat
ter of prohibition, there is declara-
ton in favor of law enforcement.
There is also a declaration that
guilt is personal and pledge to pub
lish every individual found guilty of
fraud against the Government.
There is a declaration to extend
every aid, financial and otherwise, to
the disabled veterans of the late war
There is a provision asking that the
President be given power, in time of
war to draft every citizen of the I'M
tied States, so that capital, labor and
in fact, every resource of the Nation
will do its part share and share alike.
This would mean elimination of the
profiteer and the Stacker during the
periods of national strife. The
World Court plan is indorsed, but
there is a renewed announcement that
the United States will have no part
icipation in the League of Nations.
