REPUBLICAN, TICKET
BELIEVES IN THE PEOPLE

In the campaign now drawing to close the out
staEung feature has been the attitude of the different
candidates toward their government and the
people to whom they appealing for support The
PRESIDENT has remained at his desk, counting it his
rsI duty to perform the functions of his office In
This ne mas shown his confidence in the people to Judge
the issues correctly they have been presented from
time to time.
The candidates of the Democratic and the third
parties have made theirs campaign of abuse not of
the Republican party but of the government of the
United States and its citizens Throughout these last
months, there has come from neither candidate any
word OF pride IN our government in its people.
Their message has been an insult to every man
VINO loves his country, who gories in its achievements
and who is proud of its Institutions President Cool
dge has never wavered in his trust of the people, and
his belief in the essential honesty and integrity of the
government His is the counsel of hope. He believes
IN the people OF the country he believes their Amer
lcansm he believes in their devotion to the ideals of
those things that are best in life
The Presidents speech, delivered before the Ma
tional Chamber of Commerce in Washington will, no
doubt, be the last speech that will be broadcast
throughout the nation In his address he placed before
the people of the country his plans for the future of
the nation He described in direct, honest language
his desire that the people Of the world might live in
peace and harmony that they might turn from the
pursuit of war to that would bring the great
est good to the universe
In the matter of economy, President Coolidge en-
phaszed the necessity for economy in the expenditure
OF the peoples money and pledged himself to continue
the path he had entered upon when he became Pres
dent,-namey that of saving the money of the tax
payer.
President Coolidge has been the only President in
the history of the nation that forced portion of the
taxes to be given back to the taxpayer and he stated in
terms which could be misunderstood that further
reduction OF taxes may be had II the present plan of
economy in public expenditures and the present rate
of income continues-welcome news indeed to the mil
lions who have until short time ago been forced to
pay most eXorbltant taxes
There is no denying the fact that Calvin Coolidge,
during the time that he has been in office, has given
much study to the furthering of the welfare of the
people of the United States. His speech showed that
he is deeply concerned with all problems, the solving
of which will mean better condition than we
enjoy today.
