SEEING THE LIGHT

The Boston Post is supporting President COOLIDGE
It is aware of the grave danger to the Republican
national ticket which lies in connecting the national
fight with the Khan and antKlan battle now going on
in Maine. Everybody sees that danger, excepting
few partisan Republican leaders who would sacrifice
the country in order to control local politics. All we'll
informed men realize that to win Klan victory in
Maine in Coodge's would be case of defeating
Belgium and losing France Apparently the Phiade.
pha Public Ledger sees the point ALSO Perhaps Gen.
eral Dawes may see it before he leaves Maine
The Post in an editorial published on Tuesday, dis
cussed the situation follows:
"The Portland Express solemnly warns Maine
Republicans that the country at large believes the
real issue in the Maine State election is whether
not Maine endorses Calvin Coolidge, and for
that reason Brewster must be elected.
"But the country at large is not so dense as the
Express appears to believe.
"That stalwart Republican organ the Phla-
dephia Public Ledger, a tolerably we'll informed
newspaper, declares that Washington is watching
the Maine election closely, since this is State
contest where the sole issue is Khan and anti
Kan.' If Brewster wins, according to the Ledger.
Washington will recognize the political power of
the klan as responsible
"The Ledger is right, of course.
calvin Coolidge is not the issue in Maine The
Brewster managers are trying desperately to trade
his powerful prestige. 1t is no secret that
advisers of the President are exasperated at the
tactics pursued in Maine in ehdeavor to save
thoroughly weak State ticket from defeat.
eff Brewster is beaten, as he probably will be,
no Democrat can rightfully claim the result
Election on the Presidents prestige. On the con-
trary it will be actually helpful to him showing
that stalwart Maine Republicans know how to deal
with menace to the Republican party. Once
cleared of the danger of Klan domination, Maine
will be ripe for great demonstration of real party
loyalty.
