Burton of Ohio, the temporary chair- man of its national convention to rally about the leadership of Calvin Coolidge. “The people—and all the peopte— have confidence in Calvin Coolidge,” Representative Burton declared in sounding the keynote of the con- vention, “In the great array of rulers, kings and prime ministers entrusted with power, there {s none who can surpass him in honesty of purpose, in courage, or in high de- votion to the welfare of Nis) coun- uy. Mr. Burton asserted that “by far the greater share of our citizenship looks to President Coolidge rather than to Congress for leadership,” and he urged the party to take its stand with Mr. Coolidge on all of the controversial issues which have arisen between the exécutive and some members of the Republican majority in Congress. He recommended that the party declare for American adherence to the world court with merely the Harding-Hughes reservations. He regretted that Congress refused to accede to Mr. Coolidge’s wishes in enacting the Japanese Exclusion Provision of the Immigration Dill. He declared the new tax law abounded in defects and should not ‘Be taken as the last word in tax reyjsigny He dismissed enactment ofséhe bonw: bill over the -president's veto with the assertion that “conditions” cre- ated by it must be met and its pro- visions must be willingly accepted.” Much of tho blame visited upon Republicans in the session of Con- gress just ended, he told the con- vention, however, “is not deserved because of many major questions thgir party has not. commanded a majority in either pranch.
