SEES j. s. BUSINESS.
. FACING BIG YEAR.
Representative EsterIy De-
! MES Coolidge Economy Is
Proving Injurious.

"BusineSS was never in better
condition so work out a prosperous
year fol 1926" says Representative
Charles J. Esterly of Pennsylvania
who has just returned from Tour
weeks trip in 20 States, in all sec
tons of the country, and who denies
emphatically that Coolidge economy
is hurting business" as some critics
of the administration have charged
Representative Esterly is promi-
nent business man of Reading, "a.
In support of his claim that business
is on the upgrade. he says that job
hing houses he visited show 80 ana Az
per cent increases over the same Pc
riod in 1924. and in some lines the
question is to secure merchandise 10
maintain this increase.
Mr.. Esterly states, of course, there
are some sections where these IN
creases are not found. but that we
must look further than Coolidge
economy to arrive at the actual facts.
A thorough search generally discloses
that the causes are mostly local in
origin and a carry-over of the slump
of the Fall of 1924.
Not Wearing Gloom Masks.
Representative Easterly declares that
business men generally are not wear
ing masks of gloom, but are up and
about, energetically planning to grasp
the business which is here. Those
who expect wartime volume in bust
ness and profits. no doubt. will be dis
appointed. However, business and la
Dor is satisfied at the present time to
heW TO the line of progress; no one
can complain that the country is go
Ing backward.
Mr. Esterly further says that the
Presidents advice to spend money in
ratio to ones income is received by the
public as good, common sense, and the
populace with whom he has talked on
this trip like the way the Coolidge
doctrine sets.
Mr. Esterly's recent travels have
convinced him that the people are
strong for reduction of taxes, and
that whenever governmental activities
are discussed the tax reduction ques-
ton appears to be the uppermost
thought in the public mind.
He is firmly convinced that "Presi-
dent Coolidge's economy program. in
stead of hurting business, is destined
to place this country OH a good, safe
and sound business basis, and will
eventually lead to what the public
generally desires, a reduction of
taxes"

.LONGWORTH IS
SEEN AS NEXT
SPEAKER
Madden's Managers Refuse
to Concede Election, How
EVer-Caucus Tonight

Unless there is an upset at the
last minute, Congressman Nick
Longworth of Ohio will be elected
Speaker of the Sixty-ninth Congress
at the Republican caucus tonight.
Managers for Congressman Mar
tin B. Madden Rep.) of Illinois,
his only rival, would not concede
Longworth's election today and con-
tinued energetic efforts in behalf OF
the Chicagoan, but all indications
pointed to a margin Of victory for
Longworth.
A majority Of the fifty-five new
members of the next Congress were
on hand today for the Republican
caucus tonight and the Democratic
caucus tomorrow.
The caucuses will make selections
for the Speakership, party floor
leader, House officials. and member
ship on the Appropriations, Ways
and Means and Accounts Commit
tees.
Longworth managers claimed for
their candidate a clear majority OF
the caucus, running from thirty to
forty votes. Attendance by many
of the Illinois members at the
funeral in Chicago Of Senator Medill
Mccormick will take away some Of
the Madden following, but they viii
be allowed to record their votes.
1t is expected the caucus will be
attended by about 200 Of the 243
Republican members. It is possible
a few of the La Toilette followers
may enter the caucus and claim a
right to Republican designation.
