81 can vote when I'm old enough, too.
You aren't the only oae."
"Sure you can, but whom would You
vote for Il you could vote right
nows" asked Jack.
''why, 1 don't KNOW answered
Rnth. "I guess I'd have to think
shout it for while"
"Well, of all the stupid things 1
ever heard Of" replied Jack. "What
in the world would you wait fort You
know very well that there is only one
man to vote for and that man is Cal
vim Coolidge, who now occupies the
big chair at the White House."
"Why certainly, Ruth" spoke up
Uncle Ted, who had been listening to
the conversation from the other room.
at seems to me that Jack is quite
right. We have in the White House
today a man who is one Of the safest
presidents the country has ever known.
He has shown in hundred different
ways that he can be trusted to cany
the country on through the next four
years not only with safety but in q
manner to make every American proud
of these United States.
NOW the Republican party has NOM
mated this man as its candidate at
the polls next November. No, Ruth,
there should be no reason for you to
hesitate as to the man you would vote
for if you were old enough to go to
the polls next fall"
won't you please tell us q story
right now1' asked Ruth.
eyes, Ruth, will go right ahead
and tell You some things that perhaps
1 have not told you In the past about
Calvin Coolidge. As have told you
before, this man of the common people
was born on July 4, 1872, in farm
house among the rugged hills of Ver-
mont. He was just plain New Engt
land boy on a plain farm, receiving
his early education in the district
school Of the village. He worked for
his father before and after school and
while they were not poverty stricken
they had few luxuries. The Coolidge
family had to be careful of their
money. This necessity has been car
ried through life by Calvin Coolidge.
When he was governor of Massachu-
sets he refused to sign q bill raising
the salaries of legislators from 81 ,OOU
to 81 500. He is as careful of the pub
lies money as he is of his own. He
knows the plain people and under
stands their problems because he has
always been one of them.
"When he was mayor of Northamp-
ton he Gu. down the city debt just as
today as president he has demanded
that taxes be cut down and the nation
al debt reduced. There are many ways
in which Coolidge is much like Lin
coin. They were both born in q small
house in the country. They both have
been noted for their common sense,
their honesty, strength of character
and close knowledge Of what tho peo.
pie want and need. Calvin Coolidge
is not dreamer. He is Of the strong
stock Of people who do things instead
of talking about them.

flee know that ever since the day he
took up the work left unfinished by the
late President Harding, a picture of
his mother has occupied prominent
pace on his desk. That picture has
always been before him. 1t was on his
desk when he was mayor Of North
