Out Of a weIter Of vituperation,
Calvin Coolidge still stands forth
staunchly as figure Of trust
worthiness and honesty. The fren-
zied mud-sIinqing Of that bastard
organization headed by LaFollette
and Wheeler, two of the most des-
picable figures in American life to-
day, has left Coolidge whoIesomely
free from any contamination.
LaFollette and Wheeler, traitor:
10 the Republican and Democratic
parties alike, have frothed at the
mouth with their vile lying in Ar
effort to besmirch the character OF
one Of the most outstanding figures
Of public life since Abraham Lin.

false testimony in their vain effort:
to ineriminate Coolidge, those false
testators have repudiatsd their owi
testimony.
And the election next Tuesday i:
a clarion call to those who believe
in the integrity of government by
the people, for the people and Of
the people Their duty is plain
They MUST preserve this govern
ment free from radical and ineen
diary influence so that continued
growth may be maintained in Chris

Honest Democrats are faced b.
wholesale betrayal at the hand,
