RSET 1 The “Coolidge Myth” In politfeal camps opposed to Calvin “Under ‘this wise policy we saw an economic revival and our people as -a whole, in marked distinction from suf- ferers from the financial distress and depression of other lands, have come into an era of prosperity and plenty. But for the enormous buying power which the high wages of industry put be- hind the market for American food prod- ucts, especially meat, the agricultural regions would have experienced even a far more severe financial crisis.” “The Republican tariff law was pass- ed September 22, 1922, and the response of industry to its encouragement was im- mediate and tremendous. Complete re- turns of the census are not yet in, but those which are at hand for a dozen major groups show that in 1923 the value of output was 82 per cent higher than in 1921, and 34 per cent higher than in the record year 1919, when the war momen- tum was still at work. The number of wage-earners emiployed was 51 per cent above that of 1921 and 20 per cent above that of 1919, and the total amount of wages paid was 81 per cent ahove 1921 and 45 per cent abog 1919. “Now in 1921 we counted 250,000 man- ufacturing establishments employing nearly 7,000,000 wage earners, who re ceived $8,250,000,000 in wages (including establishments with products valued un- der $5,000:and those engaged in automo- bile repairing). The value of products is given gt 3,790,000,000. If we should apply the: percentage increases, 1923 over 1921, of these 12 major groups to the manufacturing establishments as a whole it would be found that the’ yalue of produets for the first year following the restoration of the protective tariff policy was $78,697,000,000 and $14,800,- 000,000 in wages was paid to 10,500,000 wage earners. The record year up to 1923 that of 1919, showed-9,096,000 wage-earn- ers, wha were paid $10,533,000,000 in wages, the value of products being $62,- 418,000,000, Twenty years ago 216,000 es- tablishments, employed 5,468,000. wage- rs, paid them but $2,610,000,000 in yes, and the value of products was less Coolidge there is endless wailing about the “Coolidge: myth.” There was much muttering concerning it among Demo- erats recently gathered at Clarksburg. The legend of “Silent Cal” has got on the frayed nerves of Democracy. Demo- crats will undertake to “pune' what they call “the Coolidge myth. They talk of it as if it were some bubble to be broken, some misty thing of dreams and painted shadows. : And yet they seem more fearful of it than of anything else in the campaign; and the: sound reason for that fear, What they term “the Coolidge myth” is the fact that somehow the country is con- yvinced that Calvin Coolidge is an able and steadfast. cool, considering and com- midu-sense, shrewd and amazingly silent New Englander. Around him gathers a “Coolidge legend” and in him is a per- sonality that somehow appeals to the average citizen as no personality has since” Roosevelt. Th are now as many quaintly dry “Coolidge stories” as: there are “Ford than 00,000,000. Immigrants were swarming in then at the rate of a million a.year to get American wages. Now they re restricted while the American labor- er, protected in his job and his’ output receives Wages that are the-astonishment and wonder of the civilized world. And what a market for farm products. Our Chief Asset “It is well for the country to have lib- erality in thonght and progress in ac- tion; but its greatest asset is common sense.” We don’t need to tell you that this quotation is from Mr. Coolidge.-You have heard it before and it is fixed in your mind. As an evidence of that common sense the country is turning-to Mr, Coolidge with a growing determination to return him to the White House for four years more. Political organizations that at- tempt to cloak various radical assaults on the constitution with claims that they are expressions of liberality and *prog- stories.” Not one of them, drifting cross- country, through hotel lobbies, smoking- cars and over “line fences,” in any way hurts the Coolidge chances. They ate, in fact, political assets. Some of them are dryly humorous. Others have the “David Harum” twang of crossro: shrewdness. Many show the count ness under the Coolidge “coldnes: All of them stress the silence of the man, his stinginess with words. The very nick name of “Silent Cal” is worth votes among a people w f the everlasting yammer of the politician. “Silence stor ” have become part of the Coolidge ture. They are woven into the “Cool idge folklore” and through “the Cool idge myth” that so annoys the Demo. crats. In “puncturing” what they call “the Coolidge myth* Democracy has under- taken a stiff job. It has a long start on its enemies, and there is nothing mythical about the thing they hope to destroy. If it is to be wiped out, the whole record ¢ character of the man around whom it is built must be wiped out. For it is the reasoned as well as in- stinctive public appraisal of an absolute honesty in thought and deed of New Eng- land thrift, Yankee shrewdness, plain “horse sense’ and a taciturnity that amounts to silence. Into it hag been built the record of Calvin Coolidge in public and private life, his slow climb through city and state positions of trust and power to the governorship of Massachu setts, to the viee presidency and at last to the house of rulers. Tt is the public belief in the courage and character of Coolidge that keeps the Democracy awake at night. If the Demo- erats could rob this shrewd, wiry, dry, wry, patient and hard working figure of ihis solid grip upon the imagination of plain men everywhere, they would have right and reason to be happy. The time when that might have been done passed with his fiYst message to cong here was nothing “mythical? in the eter and cotrage then and he there revealed. There was no fishing for votes for his stand#on the bonus, the ic, the farm situatién and on the on tax plan. That single message Hy shaped and made full-bodied the figure of Calvin Coolidge, stamping it the nation’s mind. He grew and round- 1 out in his struggles with a vote-seek- und bloc-ridden congress. The Democrats and LaFollettistas will have a hard time with “the Coolidge myth \ most durable thing, it is, in fact, anything but a “myth.” Partisan harpshooting cannot dent, nor mud- slinging tarnish it, for it is no more and no le than the average man’s estimate of the Coolidge record and personality, cour nd character, owth of American Industry means of a protective tariff we huve saved American agriculture, labor wand industry from the menace of having their great home market destroyed ress will find themselyes ~ confounded when the Coolidge test of coninion sense is applied to them. In our progress to- ward greater liberality we must not en- danger the freedom that the constitution guarantees. i other words we must ex- ercise common sense, and that is pre cisely the governing influence in Presi- dent Coolidge’s life: Good Subject Since the Democratic ‘campaigners are short of Campiign issues. we suggest that a very sqitable topie to discuss before their audiences are the trade reports which show that in the seven’ months ended with July 31, 1924, our imports were $247,000,000 less and our exports $120,000,000 more than for the same per- iod a year before. In view of the fact that the Democrats have been telling us that our export trade would be ruined unless we join the league of nations and lower our tariffs, it will be interest: ing to see just what explanation they will make of this decrease in imports and increase in exports. We are not so badly ruined after all. And the voters will not forget it on election day. Bad political advisors would’ prove to be poor legislators and poor executives. Inconsistncy A leading Democratic newspaper’ of the south says that the people of its state “may well be gratified at the more pros- perous condition of their railroads, for their own prosperity depends no little upon the ability of their transportation agencies to serve them properly.” That is fine, but it must be remembered that this desirable condition has been brought about under the Esch-Cummins trans; portation act, which the Democratic plat- form denounced. When Democratic papers commend the results of the trans- portation act, how can Democratic lead- ers go to the country on a platform that condemns the act itself? Jersey Is Safe Former Governor E. C. Stokes of New Jersey is confident his state will return mojority of a hundred and fifty thou- sand for ‘Coolidge and Dawes. The state is bound to go Republican. The LaFol- lette candidacy is the most audacious as- sault upon the Stars and Stripes since the Civil War and the Democratic party isa mere cregation of negations. The objective of Republicans is to meet the LaFollette menace, tle most danger- ous attack on fundamental American in- terests since the framing of the consti- tution. The LaFollette program would destroy the executive and judicial fune tions of the ernment and invest all power in the congress. “It scfaps the constitution and the bill. of rights. Under LaFollette an act of congress could destroy a free pre: the right of free spesch, the right of every man to exercise his choice in re. ligious worship and in fact, all of the through the dumping upon it of a flood of foreign prodnets,” said the president} in bis acceptance address, other rights under what is known, as the bill of rights. It would make us a second Russian soviet. Tt would take from the colored man all his rights under the Thirteenti, Fourteenth and. Fifteenth amendments and fromwomen their right to vote under the Nineteenth awendment. “It is a more daring attack on our flag than was the-slayebolders’ rebel- liow. Had that sueceeded we would haye I berome a north. souch and west wnaer a costitution. If LaFollette succeeds the country will pass under te tyranny of a mob majority. “As ey the Democratic party, it has largely. disintegrated. The Democratic party is not really a party. It is an aggre- gation of negations, strong so long as merely opposed to Nepublicanism, but compesed of elements so antagonistic that they never could wnite and agree upon any constructive policy. “The country never realized this truth so clearly as did during the sessions of the Democratic national convention. Then millions of Americans looked upon the proceedings through the radio, and realized that Democracy was an aggre- gation of discordant and inharmonious elements, unable to administed execu- tively and unfit to govern the country. When the conyention, adjourned the Democratic ty adjourned with it. To- day it has no vital force and is’ making no effective campaign.” What Would He Return? “Senator LaFollette announces that he is a candidate for the presidency on a platform demanding that the “political and economic rights of the people be re- stored to them,” states the Omaha Bee. “Just what would LaFollette restore? And just what would -he abolish in his work of restoration? “Would he wipe out the Australian ballot in order to restore the: political rights enjoyed prior to the universal adoption of that law? “Would he wipe out equal suffrage and. restore the old exclusive political right of manhood suffrage? “Would he wipe out the direct election of senators and restore their election by. the legislatures of the several states? “Just what does LaFollette mean when he talks about “restoring political rights to the people? “Just what economic rights “now ufed the people would LaFollette wipe out in order to restore to them the economic rights he says have beeh taken from them? “Would he wipe out the policy that has made every American dollar worth one hundred cents’ the world around, and restore the old economic right to a de- based and degraded currency. that was the easily manipulated weapon_of gam- blers in Uncle Sam’s securities? ‘Would he restore to the people their old economic right to pay whatever charges the transportation companies saw fit to charge, issuing passes right and left to favored shippers, giving re- bates and discriminating between com- and controlling the conventions Se “Would he restore to American wage earners their economic right to work for $1.25 a day becausé¢ American. marbats were flooded with, the products’ of the pauper labor of Europe? “Of just what economic rights haye the American people been deprived that LaFollette would haye restored to them? “Indiscriminate generalization does hot meet the situation. The people have a right to know from this Great Restorer just what he purposes restoring. “The United Stat the only coun- try on earth to which the eyes of the people of every land and clime are turn- ed with longing. Nowhere else is the standard of living so high. Nowhere else i sperity so abounding. Nowhere life and property more secure. Nowhere else is to be found greater po- litical freedom or broader “opportunity for economic independence. “Like Absalom of old, LaFollette stands by the way of the gate, trying to steal the hearts of the voters by specious appeals to prejudice and denunejation of hing that is. the intelligent electorate of America allow their hearts to be stolen as Absalon stole the hearts of the men of Israel?” ’ : Tuesday’s Election Considering the multiplicity of candi- dates, good, bad and indifferent, and the maze of confusion caused by*them and their supporters, the people of Natrona county :are to be congratulated upon the remarkably good judgment they exer- cised in the nomination of candidates at the primary election. Practically all the most objectionable candidates were elim- inated, therefore it will be 2 compara- tively simple matter to complete the job at the general election, November 4th. While some excellent men and women were defeated, yet this could not be avoided, as there never are enough jobs to go around to all the deserving. The people and their welfare come first, not the ambitions and interests of the can- didates. Bear in mind that, in the confusion which prevailed, if the law-enforcement people, who are in a large majority in both parties, have allowed some who are not worthy to be nominated that the parties are served best by their defeat, for the parties and not the individuals, under party government, have to\an- swer for their short comings, whatever they may be. Therefore the mugwump is the one who vetes a straight ticket and the party traiter is the one who votes for a “yaller dog.” Protect the pmrties by carefully eliminating the undesir- ables at the general election, then not only will the parties be strengthened but also will the people reap the reward in good government.

Then, American films, especially when they depicted foreign stories, didn’t go so well out- side the United States. Later Cecil B.

Then- came Theodore Kosloff, the Russian; Anna Q. _Nilsso: blonde Charles de Roche, of France, and,-latest of all, Victor Varesni, a Hungarian.

It does not matter whether a French story is done in America.or Paris; if- French people play in it, if the action of the story 's accurate and natural, tt will hit hor with equal fogee.

Franklin Pierce was another instance of the “dark, horse” in national politics. When. the Democratic national’ conven- tion of 1852 met in Baltimore, there were three outstanding candidates. — and Pierce was not among them. Indeed, his own state of New Hampshire was not pushing nor dreaming of him in_connec- tion with the nomination, and when his name was finally first sprung’ on the convention on the 38th ballot, it was not by his state but by Virginia. Even after 35 deadlocked ballots had been taken by the delegates and the name of Pierce then presented as a‘ compro- mise, the delegates were so much sur- prised that they failed to rush to the New Hampshire “dark horse” as expect- ed. It\required fourteen additional bal- lots to get him the, requisite two-thirds support. Only three avowed candidates were before the convention, General Lewis Cass of Michigan, unsuccessful- nominee four years previous; James Buchanan of Pennsylvania, who was to achieve his ambition later, and Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois: .
