About Voting on November 4th.

Vote as you please, but-vote!"
advises The National Association of
Manufacturers. Our company's en-
ployees. whether as wage-earners or
representatives of management, and
also the women in our homes, who are
entitled to vote. all have very definite
patriotic duty to perform this year
That duty is two-fod: First, intell-
gently inform yourself as Ia. which
candidate seems to be the most capable
of wisely serving your county, your
state and your nation; and, second, on
election day, November 4th, cast your
ballot for those particular persons,
whether men or women.
While every person has the RESPONSE
bility for making his own decision as
to whom he shall vote for, yet each of
US owes it to our county, our state and
our nation to become we'll informed as
to who really merits our vote. We
need in public Office the wisest. the
most trustworthy and the most capable
| PSiooho VIC Idi seleCt lEOul among lne
candidates. No other persons-are en-
| titled to our votes and confidence.
So many people seem to care so little
about voting, even in presidential year.
From various sources we hear that
only about one-half of the men and
women in our nation who were entitled
to vote for President of the United
States four years ago, actually did
vote. This not right 1t is not fair
to our nation. nor is it fair to ourselves.
During the recent world war we
called people ''slackers" who failed to
perform their reasonable patriotic duty
| These peace times are far more i'm
portant in some respects than are war
times. In very real sense, if you and
fail to vote for those candidates this
year whom we believe to be the most
needed in public Office we shall be
''slackers. Furthermore, we should
personally help impress our neighbors
and friends with the great need this
same duty-"Vote as you please, but
-vote!' Remember, however, that
you cannot vote if you do not properly
register beforehand.

B0RAH RE|TERATES
COOLIDGE PRAISE
Says Some Reports Slightly
Exaggerated, But Were
Generally Correct.
By the Associated Press.


SALT LAKE CITY. October IL
United states Senator William +. Bo-
rah of Idaho yesterday took cogni-
Zance of dispatches to the effect that
IN his address at Idaho Falls on Oc-
tober I he had not mentioned PreSi-
dent Coolidge, and in telegram to
the Associated Press said that while
some of his praises might have been
somewhat exaggerated. he not only
mad mentioned the President. but had
lauded him for his courage in COM
batting waste.
MY reference to President Cool
idge was in connection with the dis
cusSIon Of economy in government
and the extravaganza and waste
which has been going on in Washing
ton" he said. After discussing this
at length | then said: Well, my
friends. we had Il test upon this ques-
ton last Winter. Some of US have
been harping on this question for a
long time. but We have not been able
to get much of a hearing. 1t was not
long after Calvin Coolidge was made
President of the United States until
he announced he must have economy
and then more economy.
Made Grent Issue.
1T was not long until he an
nounced that so far as the building
of bureaus was concerned, his opir ion
was that it ought to cease. To my
mind it made one of the great issues
of the Goth century and it presented
a problem of Government that 10
other President and | do not wish TO
speak disparaEingly of those who
have gone beforehand the courage
to raise and stand upon. lie vetoed
bill after bill, popular bills. bills
which might have drawn to him hun
dredS of thousands of votes, bills
which as mere politician. he would
have signed He vetoed them because
he proposed to stand between the
people of this country and those who
were attempting to make unjust and
unnecessary demands upon the people.
And whatever you may do in tn -
campaign YOU can not take that issue
away from Calvin Coolidge. Thos,
who are in Washington, Democrats,
Republicans or ProgresSives. know
how he stood on that issue, and the
fact that Mr.. Coolidge refused to sign
bills that he considers unjust and un-
necessary will always greatly re-
dound to his credit"
Senator Borah said he then referred
to the fact that he vetoed the postal
employees bill. but made no other ref
ence to the President.
Not Wholly Accurate.
This. in my opinion" said the
Idaho Senator, lis quite accurately
what ! said. In looking over the
stenogra phic report, it doesn't seem
to me that it is wholly accurate but
it is reasonably and substantially So"
Senator Borah said the statement
credited to him, and widely published
that he said "President Coolidge is
the greatest man in political history
is somewhat of an eXaggeration, but
! presume it crept in through the fact
that at the time the report was made
they the newspaper men) had no
stenographic report and for the most
part it was telephoned out of Idaho
Falls to towns which had telegraph
wires.
Understand, however, that have
not and am not now making any
complaint, said the Senator in con-
clusion.
