The American people placed the
stamp of their approval on the can
dldates of the last Republican ma
'onal convention by a majority of
more than five and half million.
!Ime and events have abundantly
Justlhed that unparalleled indorse-
ment. He who was chosen as the
party Standard bearer proved his
craftsmanship in the skillful hand

tant and weighty domestic and inter-
4auonai questions and problems
'lIlgent in the nations business, wise
In public counsel, honest and cour-
ageous in action, he gave himself
unreseTvedly, mind and body, heart

; How well he fitted and became the
great office to which he was chosen!
hlstory viii write his name high on
the roll of able and efficient execu-
ives; but we who knew and loved
hlm best will cherish most the recol-
lection of his great and kindly heart,
his tender and sympathetic soul. The
nation mourned him as one mourns a
brother, beloved and enshrined him in
The only enduring hall of fame-the
oSaI hearts of a grateful people.
Confidence in Coolidge.
Confidence was the keynote Of the
sentiment which inspired the nomina-
tion of Calvin Coolidge at Chicago
four years ago. That confidence grew
as he modestly performed the duties
OF the position to which he was elect
ed, and strengthened prodigiously as
he met and handled in thoughtful,
sympathetic and courageous fashion
the many difficult and trying prob
lens presented to him in the presi-
dental office.
Confidence in President Coolidge is

and, in the presence of inevitable diff
1erenceS of opinions on questions of
to the American people
as it is to the President--a sponta-
neous tribute to sincere faith, high
courage and honest and unselfish pur
pose.
Never was an administration con-
fronted with more difficult and per-
picking problems than those present
ed to the Republican administration
and the marvellous record of legisla-
tive and administrative accomplish
rnent which followed is without par
afleI in the annals of government.
Expenditures Curbed.
The orgy of reckless and extrava-
giant expenditure, which had Deen
checked by the preceding Republican
songress, was succeeded by an eco
pomical and busineSslike conduct OF
public affairs under budget system
wisely drawn and faithfully ,se adhereo
to. The burden OF ta2atiHn hf; dshs mh

of the unemployed, more numerous
than the hosts that the nation mar
