Worlds Best Example.
1.-The governments Of the world
have passed through trying times
and are still struggling with almost
unsolvable problems. Their leaders
have failed to meet the test of pub.
succeeded them, only to Smeet
today the worlds example of
chief executive who commands the
respect and devoted confidence
Of the electorate. He stands out
conspicuously because he knows the
nations problems and approaches
them from the sole standpoint CT
the public veal.
THE wise exercise Of the power
and duties of President Of the
United States calls for almost super.
human moral, mental and physical
endowment. A chief magistrate
must be courageous in the face
of danger, calm in the presence
of chaos. certain where others are
in doubt, and unalterable In his
determination to speak for the CON-
mon good. Calvin Coolidge has
met these tests and has justified
the public faith. No man has ever
approached the responsibilities of
this great office with greater H.
deity than he. AS governor Of
Massachusetts he refused to let
anarchy hold sway. AS President
he has been fearless in enforcing
the law. The nation has been his
only client and class appeal to the
detriment of the common good has
not lured him from the broader
view of national welfare.
Preeminent as he has been in
the performance Of all his duties
there stands out from among his
other achievements his MANAGEMENT

eminent. Under the budget act the
President Is charged with that re-
sponsibility. Upon the interest. he
takes depends in large measure the
economy or extravaganza practiced
by the Government. A people over.
burdened by taxation are unhappy
and restless.
Safe With Budget.
Calvin Coolidge knows from
childhood training and from expe-
rience in public and private life the
true>meaning Of frugality, thrift and
economy. It has been my high
privilege, in the performances Of of.
ficial duties, to know intimately the
diligence with which he has striven
to restrain unwise expenditures and
the earnestness and deep sympathy
with which he has sought equitable
tax reduction. The duties Of the
Presidency under the budget act are
in hands well qualified by inherit.
ance, training and experience for
their execution with sagacity and
fidelity. They should be continued
there.
This country and the world need
the calm and imperturbability Of
Calvin Coolidge. His type is rare
He is neither radical nor reaction
airy. He moves forward cautiously
and progressively to meet the coun.
try's changing needs. He serves by
work, not words. Arriving at the
sound solution Of a problem he acts
at whatever the cost. There is no
problem too small to receive his at
tention and none too great for his
genius. Vie embodies every prin.
ciple of modern American hope for
the future with every safeguard for
the present. He is a true Amer.
lean, who meets every requirement
for the greatest public office in the
worldS and I am proud to second
his nomination"
