The Progressive Labor World urges the election of Calvin
Coolidge as President in 1924.
Sixty years ago, when Abraham Lincoln was a candidate
for reelection. the slogan, Don't swap horses crossing a stream
was very popular. The same old homely maxim applies with
equal force today.
The country now has a natural leader.
Providence has provided a man around whom w can rally
with confidence and we shall give him our most ardent support
Calvin Coolidge will naturally appeal to labor.
Accustomed for years to glittering promises of politci rs,
who profess wholesale friendship but who secretly betray its
Interests. 1t is automatic that labor relolceS IN an executive VINO
calls a spade a spade.
Plain spoken itself. labor likes a plain spoken President.
Labor has tired of platform platitudes and lip service.
Labor instinctively detests those who pose as "huraanitar-
ians' brr are only "parlor socialists" in disguise.
Labor in this country is above all else distinctly American
1t is the bone and slnew of the nation and could not be otherwise
than patriotic. And as such it naturally stands for the best in
terests of the country.
The theorist who confounds labor with "sovietism' or like
radicaism does not understand American labor.
Labor wants Coolidge because it trusts him. Labor wants
Coolidge because it believes that he is the man to bring back the
country to normally. Labor is for the Mellon plan so earnestly
advocated by the President, because it will relieve the workers
of the present burdensome war taxes.
Labor wants Coolidge because it believes that he is the right
man in the right place.
