Calvin Coolidge has plenty Of po-

welcome, almost as jubilantly as
the Democrats, any stark proof
that the Coolidge power is slipping.
They are watching jealousy for
any sign that the country is get
ting ready to drive him back. over
the Alleghenies."
They cannot be sure that any
where, outside of Iowa. there is any
real hostility to him. They are
afraid of the Coolidge grip on the
voter, afraid to cut loose and fight
his policies, and are nervous about
the coming elections. Having flirted
with the price fixing heresy, they
are now most anxious to have their
constituents know they stand well
with the Administration.
The first Tuesday In November
may tell them what they want to
know. Until then, at least, anx-
ious eyes will turn from the dust
kicked up in the West toward the
man at White Pine Camp. Nor
can they be sure that November
will tell the tale. For 1t has been
borne in upon both the politician
and the officeseeker that the Cool
idge strength is a battling thing
that cannot always be measured by
the usual gauges and the time worn
tests of politics.
