UNCLE TED RETURNS
TO THE UNITED STATES

"Oh you wonderful kiddies, ''Uncle
Ted fairly yelled as they jumped to
his arms at the station gate. "My,
my, my how ] have missed you. It
has been thousands of years since we
said good bye right here and started
on my long trip"
"It has seemed longer than that to
u.s." said Ruth. "We've waited
and waited and wondered every minute
when you would come back. And now
that you are here can hardly believe
it. Tell us all about it just as fast
as you can"
"You don't give fellow time
enough to get his BREATH" replied
Uncle Ted as they all left the station.
Remember 1 IN just bit tired from
my long train ride. But I will tell
you about it all from time to time.
Just give me chance. Right now 1
am having a difficult time making my
mind stay upon the beauties and won.
ders Of my trip"
"Why are your" asked jack
because, Jack, it is SO fine to be
back home and to land right at a
time when the political campaign is
getting started with such bang. You
know how it is with me when there is
work to be done for my party. I'm
going to make lot of speeches this
time and I want you two kiddies to
/, do your bit also.
"I couldn t help but feel that the
Democratic party must have been dis
appointed with the speech given by
Mr.. Davis when he accepted the Dem
ocratic nomination for the presidency.
1t seemed to me that he either wants
to avoid the big problems Of the day
or else he simply doesn't know any
thing about them. He spent most of
his time saying mean things about the
Republican party, the present admins
/ tration and the congress under the
Republican rule. Anyone who knows
politics or who cares anything about
who is going to be the next president,
and everyone should have real in
terest in this campaign, knows that
anyone can knock the other fellow,
but what is wanted is constructive
ideas. About the only thing in his
speech that can be praised is his
pledge to go on with economy through
the budget system.
Now, as we all know, the budget
system was put over by President
Harding after much criticism and at.
tack from the Democratic ranks. It
is monument to the business manage
ment of that great Ohioan who died in
the highest office of the land. That
budget system which Mr.. Davis praises
and promises to support vas put into
working order by Charles G. Dawes,
the man who is candidate for the vice
presidency with President Coolidge.
AT that time he was director of the
budget. President Colidge, during mis-
time in the presidency, has firmly es-
tablished this great system for govern.
mental economy. 1t is Republican
achievement and no other party OF
group of individuals can take the
credit for it.
The great outstanding thought in
this whole matter, to me, is this: Why
should we change the head of our gov.
ernment nowf I don't believe there
is an honest man or woman anywhere
in the entire country who will be able
to give any reason.
president Coolidge has served the
pople Of the United States well. he
has shown by every move and every
word that he is one Of the sanest and
safest men who ever occupied the pres
idential chair. He combines 90 many
Of the admirable qualities that people
want in president. He Is quiet, yes
and that Is good sign. He doeesn' Y
bubble all over the people.
"But IL President Coolidge does no,
practice some Of the arts Of the pro
fessional politician, he does have
