 To the Editor Of the Putnam Patriot.
 The main assets of the American people are first and foremost the Cun- islH#A IA. established the three coordinate branches 9f our government and the night ef our people t8 secure the bles. sings of liberty through obedience ta the law second. the liberal inte!li. Renee and outlook and the sound char aeter of our people; third. our vast and fertile country: fourth. our wealth: nth, our friend ship with all other nations; and sixth. our history and prestige
 The duty of our people Is to pre- serve thsse assets uuimpaieed. and also Go add to them. for the benefit of ourselves and of future generations. That duty we are called upon to keep in mind in selecting our next Presi- dent.
 Both Fine Candtda,es
 Both the Republican and Democrat ie candidates are men of high eharac- ter. sound mental attaiuments. and vide experience in affairs. national and international but neither ef them cauld work alone The one selected ta b. President would have t0 work with his eRH party and be guided to great extent hE the record. tradi- t1Hs and principles of his party Oars s nat d aHe man government f f Were tHe f#a parties could. with. aHt prc adiee ta the welfare of our country ta coin e decide which eaaaldata ahaHIH be elected The question before the people. then. is mol which df the fwo candidates is the batter man hus which af thc two has the safer party b work with taking into con iteration the record. fradi- tons. aHd principles ef each party Because that the question # seems hardly possible that Mf Davis sill be elected Ta begin with our people un- doubtedig Wil prefer Mir Dawes to Mr Bryan Then they will not be slow Co come to the conclusion that a cabinet composed of men like MT iuehcs and Mr. Hoover would be mafe efficient than any cabinet Mir baels could form. In short. the Cool idge odmu trati1n IS known. and has been tried and tested and has been proved ia be trustWorthK \ Davis administration would have to be formed 0f the discordaut elements that came @ the fore ii tbe Madison Garden convention and We could not. therefore hope fer as good udminis trHtlve taam work under alr Davis as we have had and should have under NJ Coolidge Therefore in domestic aHall NIE Ca4l5dge's administration would bH much more likely ta b. eff tI-Hf than Hlr bavis's could te.
