BUTLER HOLDS
COOLIDGE SURE
OF ELECTION
Chairman Of Republican Ma
tiOnal Committee Enthus-
ed Over Campaign

Chicago, Ill.,, Oct. 27.-Wiliam NJ.
Butler, chairman of the Republican
national committee, issued the fol-
lowing statement:
Our confidence in Republican VIC
belief that the citizens of the United
States want to see continued the era
of prosperity upon which the coun-
try has entered. Coolidge and pros
perity are definitely linked together
in fact, Coolidge and prosperity
have become synonymous. We be-
lieve that the working men of this
country will turn deaf ears to those
who preach discomfort. We are n
ccntented people. Employment
abounds almost everywhere. Taxes
have been reduc d. That has help
ed business; it has given business
men confidence.
"Calvin Coolidge's insistence upon
economy and then more economy,
has given sense of security in our
government. Through wise handl-
ing of our foreign relations markets
OF the world have been opened. The
American farmer is reaping the
benefits; bounteous crops which a
| wise providence gave us this year
would have been Il disaster rather
than boon without a world mar
ket. Prices would have been low in
stead of high. Conditions abroad
have been improved because Amer
lea under the leadership of Calvin
(0nljIrn hnc
farmers and working men and bust
ness men are the gamers.
The thrifty citizens Of America dc
not want to see the government en-
bark upon such dangerous and ex-
travagant experiments as the gov
eminent ownership of railroads. A
realization that such is the temper
o. the public has led even the most
ardent advocates of those theories
to tone down their assertions in the
last few days, but these advocates,
notably among them the Socialist
third party nominee for president
| are just as determined us ever ia
have the government buy all the
| railroads and operate them.
"The welfare of our people-and
that means their prosperity-is
vouchsafed by the constitution. The
supreme court is the guardian OF
the liberties guaranteed by our
fundamental law. The socialist
third party nominee would destroy
the supreme court and thereby des-
troy the constitution. Throughout
the land there has come an appre-
citation Of the fact that this would
affect seriously the welfare and
prosperity of our people. Calvin
Coolidge stands forth as the one
man who can insure continued pros
perity. We believe he wlll be elect
ed president of the United States
= days hence because the people
after bitter years of warfare and re-
construction, desire now to continue
in the prosperous way of peace. Be
cause Coolidge means prosperity
We believe the American people Will
go to the polls Nov. and insure
victory for the Republican nominee
for president"

of government"
Referring to President Coolidge
Mr.. Hughes said he ais suited to the
tious with the wisdom of experience
infleXibie i'm his deliberate resolves
tenacious of sound principles of leg
islation, who has no thought but to
serve his country with the utmost
fidelity.
1--WE detest political corruption and
we demand the punishment of the
guilty. The Republican who soils
his hands in corrupt dealings is as
treacherOus to his party as to his
country.
Assails Democrats
Responsibility for the serious eco
nomic conditions with which we have
had to deal in recent years lies with
the unwise financing of the treasury
under the Democratic administration.
1.-THE economic difficulties since
March, 1921, have been exposures
Of that debris. There was a false
prosperity created after the war. In
flation was artificially encouraged
and there was Il period from 1919
to the first half of 1920 of extra
ordinary speculation. When these
serious consequences were recognize
ed there was a drastic deflation and
a resulting crash. This took place
before March, 1921.
THE chief point at which the gov
eminent could have rendered assist
ance in this matter was in prevent
ing the postwar initiation in 1919.
Had this been done the drop of 1920
would have been far less violent.
"The Republican administration on
coming into power Immediately es-
sayed the difficult task of restor-
alton; it organized all it's endeavors
to that end. The federal reserve
rates were lowered from the della

improve stock conditions throughout
the Northwest. The transfer Of
dairy cattle and breeding sheep from
