"Mr. Coolidge has been a steady
ing force and living example in
this country beyond that of any
single person since the time of Lin
coin. He has been discreet, un-
selfish, calm, dignified, patient and
wise. With no feeling of enmity
toward those who have been harsh
and sometimes cruel in their criti-
cisms, he has pursued a consistent
course of propriety and fairness
and with an eye single to the happi-
ness, comfort and prosperity of all
the people and to the glory of his
country.
"With this disposition and cap
ability, he has won the respect and
the confidence of the large majority
of our citizens, as demonstrated by
the election of Nov. A. Lincoln
said all the people cannot be fooled
all tire time. Mr.. Coolidge has not
attempted to fool any of the people
any of the time. Therefore what
he says and does hereafter will
have the effect that follows the re-
spect and the confidence which
have been thus established. One
of the best, the most emphatic and
the most influential features of the
late campaign has been That Mr..
Coolidge has refrained from indulg-
ing in personalities, in rebuke, in
complaint or in hostility. He has
been perfectly natural-a Christian
statesman and fearless leader.
"Such a man should have, and
he will have, the support and assist
ance of the American Congress and
the American people. After MAX
ing these few observations, it is
proper, from the standpoint of a
business man, to make practical
application.
LAS l have said, probably more
than once, of the highest import
ance in the minds of all the people,
rich or poor, employer Or employee,
educated or uneducated, is reason
able and satisfactory provision for
supplying the necessities of life.
Unless all of US can obtain food,
clothing and shelter, we are not in
clined to listen to advice or instruc-
ton or consolation concerning our
highest moral or spiritual hopes and
aspirations. 1t is because of this
that Mr.. Coolidge has favored gen.

and it is because of this quahfica-
ton in the national leader, the
people trust him, and what the
people generally decide, our law
makers and administrators will sup
port. ..- .....
'Never before in the history of
the world has any country had such
an opportunity for advancement as
the United States possesses just at
this time. The fundamentals are
here, the foundation has been laid.
1t is up to US, the people, to do our
part.
what we need and must en-
deavor to bring about is more unity
of purpose and action, less discord,
higher standards, more honesty,
more work, more energy, more
charity, more Cancellation, more
self denial. -...
''From this time forward those
who have been severely criticized,
even though in many cases unjust
ly, should carefully consider all the
criticisms which have. been made
with a determination to ascertain
where and in what respect they
have been wrong and to provide a
remedy. Likewise those who criti-
cize Others should more carefully
guard against unjust attack.
eff capital has been arrogant,
tyrannical or unreasonable, it must
oercome it's improprieties or inlqui-
ties, and for its own benefit, in self
defense, it must adopt principles OF
propriety and justice.
eff those less prosperous have
been unreasonable in their demands
or complaints, if they have been
unwilling to contribute their SER
vices toward their own necessities,
they should be more diligent and
more considerable, acknowledging
the fact that unless capital is per-
mitted to legitimately proceed in
development and extension and util-
ization, the whole community must
suffer.
'In short, it is time for every
single interest in every department
of our existence, political, social,
financial, commercial. industrial or
educational, to consider unselishly
and fairly all other interests with
the desire and intention of benefit
ing he whole human race.

country will do their full part. 1t
is certain President Coolidge will
fully measure up to his responsible

country will be an example and an
inspiration. 1t will probably retain
