THE TICKET AND THE PLATFORM
minneapolis Tribune)

With a whoop and hurrah the Cleveland convention
carried out the popular mandate that Calvin Coolidge
should be the presidential nominee. 1t has given him
a platform that fits him as the glove fits the hand, and
it has chosen for his running mate a fighting mld-Wester-
ner, Charles G. Dawes Of Illinois, who does not need to
be introduced at home or abroad. The case of the Repub-
lican party is thus complete for presentation IN the court
of public opinion.
In a very real way the proceedings at Cleveland sig
nalizes a rebirth of the Republican party. New figures
supersede old ones in creating convention atmosphere
and in shaping the affairs Of the party for the campaign.
New hands will be in command Of the high places in the
national committee. How they will succeed is yet to be
determined, but they will enter upon their tasks with the
best wishes and cordial support Of all that part of the
of personnel and scene.
Those who do not like the Republican platform as a
political compass and guide cannot favor the leadership
of the quiet man who now sits at the helm of the ship
of state. Those who trust in him, those who wish to keep
Cool and Keep Coolidge" scarcely can do otherwise than
approve the party's campaign charter. 1t is made of
Coolidge stuff, and the pattern is dominantly Coolidge
eSQue.
F~air-minded critics vii say that the platform takes
the offensive; that it has praise, not apology, for the par
tvs record; that it is cast in q positive, not a negative,
idiOm; that it lays down a WeEdefined program of ac-|
ton for the next Congress and for administration in the
next four years; that it adheres in letter and in spirit to
the principles and purposes enunciated from time to time
by the president.
The platform is, as it ought to be, a constitutional
guide rather than a detailed legislative formula. With
out going unwarrantly into details, it sets forth clearly the
underlying principles which the party should follow in
the practical filling in of the blue prints of action.
For the most part the platform is in excellent tenn
per, and that is a good sign of consciousness of the right
ness of the party'cause. 1t bodies we'll for fighting spirit.

nations for the presidential ticket at
this time. Senator LaFollette in re-
pudiating the convention said that
he had evidence that its leaders were
in direct communication with Moscow
and acting under instructions from
the Russian communists, and that
their object was to bring about the
overthrow of democratic government
through violence and revolution. Mag

THE FARMERS VS.. THE REDS

Plentywood Taylor's new third party, just organized
at st. Paul, proved too Red for all of the convention ex-
cept the Red element. The level-headed, sincere farmer
delegates trickled out Of the convention hall as the planks
Of the Red platform were adopted by the Red controlled
assemblage The farmers baked at the plank that de-
clared for compensation for the unemployed" which in
plain language means taxing people who work and save
to support l. w. WIS who refuse to work at any wage
Organized labor baked at certain other planks. Honest
Bob LaFoIlette saw the Red danger in advance and
sounded a warning and kept aloof. That queered him
with TayIor's bunch: Magnus Johnson, farmer sena-
tor from Minnesota declined to speak before the Red ag-
g~regation. The Red ticket that was nominated will poll
only the Red vote next November in spite of the claim
Of MI. Taylor's Poplar paper, which says it will come to
Wolf Point with the county seat, that the farmers are
all with it. The farmers have indeed been sadly sinned
against but they are too sane to look to the Reds for
help.

THE FARMER-LABOR
CONVENTION
lGreat Falls Tribune

The communistic party controlled
the farmer-labor convention and put
a presidential ticket in the field at
the st. Paul meeting the other day.
The ticket reads Duncan Mcdonald
of Illinois for president and William
Bouck of Washington for vice-presi-
dent, both radicals and reds Of the
extreme type. Notwithstanding the
fact that Senator LaFollette had re-
pudiated this meeting and advised his
friends and followers to stay away
from it, on the ground that the COM
munists had so manipulated its mem
bership that they would control the
convention. Quite a large number
of the delegates wished to declare in
favor Of a third party led by LaFol-
