Crocodile Tears for Coolidge

NIcLEAN's Washington newspaper says that the lead
1SI ing newspapers of the country condemn the senate
for publishing President Coodges private kilograms and
for attacking the president in senatorial speeches. To
prove its case Mclean quotes the New York Times New
York Herald. New York Tribune. Philadelphia Public
Ledger and Philadelphia Inquirer.
All of which would to indicate that the country
consists Of New York and Philadelphia and that leading
newspaper that plays the organ for Big Business
and is strong for MELONS tax food for mutimilonaires
One might think from the tender solcitude of these
eadng newspapers that the distinguished president was
innocent a babe concerning politics.
Coolidge is political greenhorn regular organiza-
republican who has served member of the Massa-

president of the state senate lieutenant and gov
and then vice president of the United States and
presiding officer Of the United States senate. he has
