PRESIDENT TO STAY
ON JOB AT CAPITAL


Coolidge will remain at the White
House the greater part of the cam
paign as there are many matters
hat require the presidents per-
sonal attention and Coolidge being
a most conscientious worker is not
going to forsake his duties and
swing around the country making
speeches when there is work to be
done there.
This decision meets with the
views of Dawes, who, like the pres
ident, believes that if a man is
elected to work for the people he
should perform the tasks which
confront him. When Dawes was
director of the budget he refused
to take any vacation, stating that
he had been selected to work for
the people and he could not forsake
his post for personal pleasure.
Never in the history of the Re-
publican have two candidates been
more in harmony over the question
of serving the people than Coolidge
and Dawes, both of whom have al
ways stood for the greatest econ
omy in the expenditure of the peo-
pies money Coolidge told con-
gress time and again hat the waste
of money must cease.
Both of the candidates have al
ways been strong advocates of tax
reduction and Coolidge, as president,
has seen his recommendation that
a cut of 25 per cent in income
taxes made, enacted into law and
this reduction has brought joy to
many a heart.
During the past few weeks hun
dreds of letters have been received
in Washington from men and wom-
en- who stated that they have been
Democrats for years but the admin
istration's plans to reduce taxes has
appealed to them to such an eX-
tent that they intend to vote for
Coolidge and Dawes in November.
These letters are from all sections
of the country.
1t is more than probable that
Dawes 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 magic cure for all
ills. Dawes is in a position where
he can talk first hand to the farm
ers of the middle and far west as
he, through his bank last year and
this year too, has been the direct
means of helping many who needed
money. The farmers know that
Dawes has been their friend when
they needed one and it is not likely
that any political fakir, who is all
ready to give much advice but no
real help will 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 has furnished real
help when needed.
The people of the country, no
matter in what section they may
live, are tired of having politicians
DldlCe up anu uOhn lIt Hdllo vi
congress and tell what ought to be
done and then never honestly try
to do something for anyone except
themselves. AS Lincoln said, You
can't fool all of the people all of
the time The man who works
for his living in the city, the man
who raises crops or cattle, realizes
that Coolidge is honest, hal he
knows their problems and hat 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 will de
eide this election.
