A CONTRAST

President Coolidge is believed to
be instinctively as we'll as from
principle a party man.. one who
thoroughly believes in preserving our
party form of government and dis
trusts blocs and political buccaneers,
but his common sense enables him to
distinguish the genuine from the imi-
tation and to discredit politics of the
peanut variety. Simply because his
opponent, LaFollette. happens to be
displeased that the States of Cali
fornia and Texas have laws under
which the courts decide it will be
necessary for the LaFollette electors
to appear on the ballots under the
party designation OF Socialists does
MT deter Mr.. Coolidge from express
ing disapproval of arrangements.
which are open to the charge Of pre-
venting in some degree an expression
of the popular will at elections.
Contrast his position with that OF
Hiram Johnson, who denounces the
decision of the California court. and
leaves the inference that he will
support LaFollette. yet twelve years
ago he profited from those same cleo
ton laws. which are now bothering
LaFollette. He was ready to take
advantage Of their deficiencies. but
now he would blame the Republican
party for the decision Of the court.
True, the law probably was passed
to promote party regularity but john
son himself Is said to have had a
hand in the making Of II and deriv-
ed advantage from its existence. Now
he would blame the Republican party
on account Of it.

PLANES TO BE SOUGHT
BY FLYING RESERVES
Officers Here Want Several Ships
at Boiling Field Assigned
for Their Use.

Air service reserve officers. as a re-
sui Of discussions at their recent
meetings. have arrived at the deter
mination to secure for themselves
several planes, to be stationed at
Boiling field. in which they can take
practice flights and thereby keep in
flying shape.
The progress of other air service
organizations in different sections of
the country, notably in Pittsburgh
and Buffalo. was presented and it
was decided unanimously that an
organization of all reserve pilots in
this section. numbering about 200.
have all opportunity here to advance
as an organization and as individual
flyers to a crcditable status In the
reserve branch. Flying fields were
provided by the local municipal gov
ernments at cities throughout the
country and the necessary funds for
hangers and maintenance were raised
through public subscription.
In Washington, however, all this
equipment is available. 1t was en-
phasiZed. What we want and what
we are going to get are ships for our
own use" was the battle cry raised.
