ROLL UP THE VOTE FOR
COOLIDGE

The United States has great and
valuable assets. Of which perhaps
none are more valuable than it's
habitual methods OF accepting the re-
suits Of a fight at the polls with good
grace. However much n candidacy
may have been feared. when It's sue
cess has been decided all endeavor
TO make the best possible out OF the
conditions existing. With such
spirit predominatins a candidate
would have to be mighty Mad to de-
stroy our fundamentals That could
only come by the introduction OF sub
lie methods not appreciated by the
people themselves. Notwithstanding
nll the apprehension respecting La
Follctte's doctrines. were the I'M
possible to happen and were he to
como to power. undoubtedly the peo-
pie would cooperate to the pest OF
their ability and no and the wiser
emonK his followers would endeavor
to slhy all apprehension; the danger
would be after apprehension was AL
layed.
There 10 one candidate for the high
ONCE, OF President who Will fnd him
self In communion with the American
spirit Of support OF the will OF tho
majority. whatever happens. Presi-
dent Coolidge has kept industriously
ut his task OF being President OF all
the people. He has explained his
position on the public issues before
the country. but has abused no one
IN doing Il. We think the country
likes his attitude and will tell him
so today.
However certain In this part OF the
country We may be that trend for
Coolidge Is unmistakabie. we cannot
know all about conditions In the
Northwest. The reports tell us of
very confusing conditions In several
OF the states. This would seem more
likely to affect the choice of Senators
and Representatives than that of the
President. Today. as when the cam
paign began. II is evident IL some of
those nominal Republicans who OPP
posed the President persistently at
tho last session. are returned 1t will
be because ofAbe popularity of the
President.
In some Of the 20 states which are
60 choose governors. there are such
complications as endorsement of cam
didatss by two political parties, the
Jtu Klux. "a In Kansas where Will
liam ALLEN White Is running in OPP
position to the candidates of both
leading political parties on an anti
Khan platform: I'm Texas where a
woman Is the nominal candidate of
one party divided In its opinion OF
her husband. Oklahoma's chief eX-
Citemsnt centers on the choice OF a
L. S. senator. The impeached gov
ernor. Walton. Is running on an anti |
Khan platform. In Iowa Brookhart
by his efforts for LaFollette has lost
the support OF some OF the Repubn- |
Can regulars, though expected to win. !
4 determined effort Is being made In |
Montana to defeat Senator Walsh, |
who became conspicuous In the in
restigation OF the oil leases and later !
acted as chairman OF the Democratic |
national convention. Senator Rorah |
also IL having n hard fight in Idaho |
The Senate would incur loss In dis |
tinguished personnel from the defeat |
sf either of these men.
Al the signs indicate tremendous /
popular vote for Calvip Coolidge. |
Much OF the success of his admins |
traticn would depend on a working |
majority In Congress which he now /
does not have. Senator Moses de-
clares the prospect for this excellent.
With the tide setting strongly for |
Coolidge the Senator's prediction !
ough, to come true. But whether or !
not this happens, Calvin Coolidge
with a splendid majority OF the votes ,
viii be figure to reckon with by !,
any Congress not bent on Its own de- /
struction. Roll up the vote for !,
Coolidge.
