His direct treatment of vital issues displayed the best standards
He demonstrated at once that he is the logical man to meet the

The Progressive Labor World urges the election of President
Coolidge as President in 1924.
Sixty years ago. when Abraham Lincoln wa a candidate for re-
election. the slogan, Don't swap horses crossing a stream" was
very popular. The same old homely maxim applies with equal force
today.
The country now has a natural leader.
Providence has provided a man around whom W e can rally with
confidence and we shall give him IL most ardent support.
Calvin Coolidge will naturally appeal to labor.
Accustomed for years to glittering promises of politicians, who
profess wholesale friendship but who secretly betray its interests,
it is axiomatic that labor rejoces in an executive who calls a spade
4 spade.
Plain spoken itself, labor likes a plain spoken President.
Labor has tired of platform pattudes and lip service.
Labor instnctively detests those who pose a "humanitarians, -
but n only "parlor socialists" in disguise.
Labor in this country is above all else distinctly American. 1t
is the bone and sinew OF the nation and could not be otherwise than
patriotic. And as such it naturally stands for the best interests of
the country.
The theorist who confounds labor with "sovietism" or like rad
icalsm does not understand American labor.
Labor has a keen perspective and recognizes the genuine from
the counterfeit, and labor wants Calvin Coolidge to continue as its
President.
Labor wants Coolidge because it trusts him. Labor want Cool
to normally. Labor is for the Mellon plan 81 earnestly advocated
by the President, because it will relieve the workers of the present
burdensome war taxes.
Labor wants Coolidge because it believes that he is the right
man in the right place.
