Obregon, former President. that he
will be candidate for election as head
Of the Mexican government next year
Is Of keen interest here. It was largely
through the recognition Of his govern

sharp interchanges between the Amer

Under the constitution Of Mexico a
President is elected for four years. but
may not succeed himself. Obregon re.
tired from Office in 1924 and Gales
succeeded him. The lapse of four
years makes Obregon again eligible
for election as President. The Next
can constitution makes no provision
for the election of Vice President,
euaintly enough. Presidents in Latin
American countries have had uncom-
Portable experiences with Vice Presi-
dents. Indeed, an ambitious Vice Pres
ident has been q liability to many of
them. So Mexico wisely does not in
clude that Office in its executive
branch Of government.
Gen. Obregon, according to a state
ment issued by him in Mexico, does
not consider the field of candidates for
the presidency capable Of solving the
problems before the country. For that
reason he Is leaving more congenial

Gen. Obregon will be followed closely
here.
Obregon proved himself the strong
man Of Mexico when that country was
still in chaotic state after years Of
revolution. He was one Of the few
Presidents Of Mexico who served out
his four-year term and turned the gov

his successor. It was Obregon who
defeated Villa years ago and later
made Roadway against Carranza,
whom at first he had supported.

NON-COMMITTAL CAL

People of the sovereign United
States are falling into a grave error
by their attitude toward the silence
Of Cal. A little more thought applied
to the responsibilities Of this popular
president would at once show the tre-
mendous difficulties under which he
labors. After all, all great men are
misunderstood.
Cal was born and raised on a New
England farm, where silence is the
law. If Calls pa said, "You go out
now n milk the wild cows Cal said
nothing, and obeyed. If he didn't he'd
get crack across the head, Accord
ing to Hoyle, this complex has been
carried by the farmer lad into the
presidential chair. When the bosses
say, "Cal, send couple Of steel boats
down to the. Nicaraguan pasture" Cal
says nothing and obeys. II he didn't,
he'd get boot in the breeches.
Then, a presidents words, the few
he utters, are Of such great moment,
that he must be extremely careful.
Usually he leaves the job to his right
hand man. Cal employs this method
successfully with Kellogg. And KEEL

JOkila, Famous Finnish Runner to

An outstanding feature of the La

meet to be held in Electric Park,
Waukegan, ILL.,, on July Both and 31st,

famous Finnish long distance runner.
In Finland, Jokila is considered the

the two have never run against each

Consider the older Lindbergh. A

Congressman Lindbergh wrote Why IS

In June 1918 the Chicago staff
writer. Arthur NJ Evans, wrote Of
Lindbergh's book: "The reader looks
instinctively to see if it bears Ger
man copyright. Tt doesn't, but it con-
tains many choice morsels Of thought
that might be gobbled with relish in
Potsdam."
In the same month the Tribune spe-
cial correspondent in Washington tel
egraphed an attack made by Repre-
sentative Miller in which Lindbergh
was declared because of the attacks
which he made upon the American
government a friend Of the Kaiser
whether he wishes it or not"
Why is Your Country at War con-

life and assign you to drudgery, even
to war if it chooses"
For writing this book the political
powers in Minnesota sealed Lind
bergh's doom. He was called "pro-Ger-
man. "Hun"-and all the frenzied
epithets used during the war period.
In Little Falls the Lindberghs We're
ostracized by the patriotic Little Fall
ians.
When Lindbergh ran for Governor
of Minnesota on the Non-Partisan
League ticket the book was widely
quoted and used against him to prove
his radical and atheistic tendencies.
"Read history" said Lindbergh,
"and YOU will find that everywhere,
in all lands, at all times many digni-
taries of the church. have been on
the side of oppression" For this ne
was called an atheist.
The Hill railroad interests, Pills
bury Flour and the U. S. Steel spent
millions to defeat him. In many coun-
ties patriotic organizations paraded
to the polling places and politically
burned League ballots.
And now Charles A. Lindbergh jrr
has made good. Today he hobnobs
with royalty itself.
The self same forces which united
in 1918 to defeat his father today
sing praises to the young man.
Politicians Of high and low degree
bask in the reflected glory of the in
trepid airman.
They forget that during the trying
war days young Charles stood Loyalty
by his father all through the SANDER
of the war mongers. They have for
gotten that it requires courage to
hold off bowling mob Of Infatuated
jingoists.
Myron T. Herrick, ambassador to
France and a member Of the Ohio
gang. describes young Lindbergh as
follows: "Had we searched all Amer
lea. we could not have found better
type than young Lindbergh to repre-
sent the spirit and high purpose Of
our people. He is the Lincoln type.
Who can say more 2"
Already Lindbergh's name is being
coupled with U. S. Army propaganda.
A ieaflct has appeared on the streets
of New York urging enlistment and
bearing Lindbergh's picture on the
cover.
Coolidge offered the aviator naval
escort m his return to America and
All Smith awarded him the Medal of
Honor.
When he arrives in New York it
is safe to say that it will be impos-
sible to see Lindbergh for Tammany
politicians.
In the Non-Partisan League states
Lindbergh senior is still spoken of
with pride by his followers who re-
member the courageous stand he took
in the face of a war-crazed citizenry.
No wonder the controllers of CAPT
talistic press are suppressing sympa-
thetic news about the airman's father.
One Chicago daily said that such an
article would not be helpful now"
No wonder the financial pirates
of the country who did their best to
have the older Lindbergh mobbed
don't want the public to know that
"the spirit and high purpose of our
people, the Lincoln type" is best rep
