COOLIDGE WILL
REMAIN On JOB
DURING SUMMER
President Will not Go
B transforming Over
Country During Cam
paign; Dawes Agrees

/ W aSninEtOn-lt IS almost CERTAIN
that Calvin Coolidge will remain 4
the White House the greater part o
the campaign as there are many mat
tiers that require the presidents per
sonal attention and Coolidge, beins
most conscientious worker is not go
ing to foresake his duties and swing
around the country making speeche:
when there is work to be done here
This position meets with the views
OF Dawes, who. like the president be
lieves that il a man is elected to
work for the people he should perform
the tasks which confront him. When
Dawes was director OF the bulge,
he refused 10 take any vacation. stat
ing that he rad been selected to work
for the people and he could not for
sake his post for personal pleasure.
Never in the history OF the Rcpub-
lican party have two candidates beer
more in harmony over the question
Of serving the people than Coolidge
and Dawes; both OF whom have al
ways stood for the greatest economy
in the expenditure OF the peoples
money must cease.
Both OF the candidates have always
been strong advocates OF tax rcduc
ton and Coolidge, as president. has
seen his recommendation that a cut
OF 2S per cent in income taxes be
made. enacted into law and this re-
duction has brought JOY to many
heart.
During the past few weeks hun
dreds OF letters have been received
in Washington from men and wo-
men who stated that they have been
democrats for years but the admins
iration's plans to reduce taxes has
appealed to them to such an extern
that they intend to vtoe for Coolidge
and Dawes in November. These let
'crs are from all sections OF the coun-
try.
1t is more than probable that Dave
will take the stump after the formal
notification exercises have taken place
and he will hammer home some truths
that will upset the claims OF those
who declare that they have a magi'
cure for all ills. Dawes is in a posi-
ton where he can talk first hand L
the farmers OF the middle and far Yves
rs he, through his bank last year am
this year too, has been the direc'
means OF helping many who needed
money. The farmers know that Dave
has been their friend when they need
ed one and it is not likely that any
political fakir. who is already to give
much advice but no real help viii
dare stand on the same platform with
the hard hitting Dawes and talk TO
the farmer about what is the best
thing for the man who tills the soil
1t would be a case OF one who gave
only promises while the other had
furnished real help when help was
needed.
The people OF the country. no mat
ter in what section they may live,
are tired OF having politicians prancc
up and down the halls of congress
and tell what ought to be done and
then never earnestly try to do some
thing for anyone except themselves
As Lincoln said "You can't fool al
OF the people all OF the time" The
man who works for his living in tn,
city, the man who raises crops or
cattle, realizes that Coolidge is honest
that he knows their problems and
that their interests are safe in his
hands. They know that Dawes stands
for the things that mean prosperity
that he, like Coolidge, wants gov
eminent expenses kept at as low a
point as possible; that he wants taxes
cut and that he, too is against the
man who spouts cheap bunkum in
the hope OF getting votes Mr.. and
Mrs. Tax Payer decide this election
President Coolidge whose birthday
anniversary was on the Fourth OF
July has already received man let
'ers from people who have the same
birthday and Fourth OF July Birthday
Clubs are springing up all over the
country. No doubt there will be
many boy babies who came into the
world on this date that will be nam
cd after the president.
