COOLIDGE LEADS FOR THE
PRESIDENCY

WASHINGTON, d. C. May 18th.
Attention now centers on the Re-
publican platform to be written lat
the Convention in Cleveland, June
10th. If the will of the President is
followed in making up the platform,
II will be a decided victory for the
people of the country. The people
believe that Calm Coolidge under
stands what they want, that the is
ever mindful of their interests, and
is because of his that a platform in
spired by the President will be essen
TALLY platform Of the character
desired by the voters of the nation.
The recent action of the voters
throughout the country has demon
strated that the people are deter
mined that President Coolidge sue
coed himself. The primaries just
held in California and Indiana,
wehe Coolidge secured notable vic
tories, bring out most forcibly the
desire of the voters. 1t shows that
the people no longer look upon
Coolidge as President by act of
Divine Providence or accident; they
recognize in him the man who is to
lead the Republican hosts this fall.
He has now won by his own acts the
position of leader of the Republican
party. An analysis of the votes Of
all the States that have recently held
primary elections shows that Coo
lidge is the direct choice of the peo-
pie. This fact must be admitted by
even, tn ld-fashioned politician.
The platform undoubtedly will en-
brace the following subjects: tax re-
duction, strict economy in the expen-
diture of public money, active aid to
agriculture and other interests that
need help, and such other planks as
will insure continuance of pros
perity. 1t will also deal with the
fact that over S4,000,000,000. Of the
public debt has been paid, taking
that much off from the shoulders Of
the people, thus making taxes just
that much lighter Coolidge's hon
esty and ability are recognized by
the people. They have placed thier
stamp of approval on his candidacy
Coolidge will be nominated by the
people. He will go into the cam
paign with but one promise, and
that is to work for the good of the
people of the country.

first time in it's gay and oftentimes

that the law of the land could be en-
forced against its wilfulness.

pensive cabarets of the city, the ma
jority Of them in the heart of the
Great White Way, were dark last
night, their blazing electric signs
making big dark patches in the gilt

ing to waste, their hidden places for
prohibited refreshments at last safe

U. S. District Attorney Hayward
issued this statement:
II consider this tremendous VIC
tory for law enforcement. 1t runs
the total number of rum joints clos
ed since January / under federal in
functions to two hundred and twenty
five, 1t is an eloquent answer to
those counselors Of despair who say
that the law cannot be enforced.
"These paddock injunction do some
times, and are intended, to work

know what his tenants are doing. To
force landlords to use their prernis-

candy kitchens, bakeries shoe stores,

stead of for saloons and rum-selling
dives is of inestimatable benefit to
moral and social life of this great
city, and we propose to keep on as
rapidly as we can secure judges to
hear and try those cases.
"The liquor seller is being pushed
off the main thoroughfare and into
the byways and purileus of the city
where, with the drug seller, he can
alone take refuge. Anyone wo says
that the situation in the city is not
improving so far as law enforcement
is concerned is either blind or per-
