HARD-BOILEI) ECONOMIZER.
Chicago, August 26: “Kansas farm
ers speak of President Coolidge as a
‘hard-boiled economizer in government
expenditure,’ which accounts for his
popularity in our state,” said Senator
Arthur Capper, of Kansas, when he
visited Republican National Committee
headquarters on the occasion of the
Dawes notification exercises.
“Nothing so strongly appeals to our
people as rigid economy and hard com
mon sense in the management of gov
ernmental affairs,” said the Kansas
Senator. “We are satisfied with
Coolidge; wo believe he is safe and
sane, and we know this is no time to
make a change in the management of
our national affairs. There has been
a marked improvement in the senti
ment of our people during the past 00
days, due to careful consideration of
the situation and tAie increases in
prices for farm products, accompanied
by .excellent crop prospects, which
made for the full dinner pail of the
working man.
“Common sense and rigid economy,”
said Senator Capper, “appeals more
strongly to our people than government
ownership of railroads, or attacks upon
the protective tariff system, or the un
tried and revolutionary policies which
strike at the foundations of our Gov
ernment. Our farmers believe in
“Cal, the hard-boiled economizer,"
and in the Dawes’ plan for bringing
real peace „to the world. This means
prosperity under Republican rule
Our farmers know it, and the working
men in our industrial centers know
that this truly insures their pros
perity.”

WEEKLY NEWS LETTER.
Charles G. Dawes, the most con
spicuous figure in the world, will arrive
in Lincoln at 9:30 a. m. Friday for the
purpose of deljjrerng the initial cam
paign thunderbolt. He will speak in
the b;g stadium at 8 p, m. A concert
band of seventy-five pieces will fur
nish music. He will be met at the
train by the general reception com
mittee of three thousand and by other
thousands gathered from Nebraska
and surrounding states.
State Chairman Harry E. Sackett.
will preside. The Dawes speech will
be full of fire. He has announced that
be will deal with those problems which
are of interest to Nebraska and par
ticularly with the subject of agri
culture.
The LaFollette convention at Grand
T '-nd was attended by fewer than
t -e hundred people. Much resent
ment was expressed over the auto
cratic LaFollette method of going it
alone. Some wanted a state ticket.
Frank Harrison received timely aid in
his whip-cracking. It was a telegram
from national headquarters telling or
ganizers of the LaFollette Independent
party to do as the regional director
commanded.
State Accountant C. A. Sommer has
discovered where Secretary of Finance
Hall has omitted $700,000 from total
ekpenditures during the last year
This omission reveals fictitious sav
ings. Mr. Sommer shows also where
the finance head of the Bryan admin
istration has included eleven months
instead of twelve. The expenditures
of the past year, he shows, where $10,
914,686.74 instead of $10,214,653.52 as
reported by Hall.
The taxpayer will not forget that
Bryan’s budget excess over all legis
lative appropriations was $20,716.11 as
revealed by State Auditor Marsh. This
spread would have been greater had
not the legislature declined to put in
certain emergency items and claims
which Mr. Bryan approved but did not
put in his budget.
Republican leaders smile at re-intro
duction by democratic speakers of the
deflation issue. Deflation was the cry
in the Howell-Hitchcock contest and
the people elected Howell by 75,000
majority. (Adam McMullen takes this
shot at the ghost from the closet:
“A federal reserve board, creature
of the last democratic administration,
took nearly tv o billion of dollars out
o: circulation. It began in 1919. In
1920, banks were told to come in and
take up their paper. Bankers, in turn,
told the farmer to dump his crops and
take up his obligations. He dumped
them on a flooded market. That was
de flation. With the return of the re
publican party into control, conditions
were immediately bettered. Goven
ment expenditures and taxes were re
dued. The farmer is getting back
upon his feet.”
NOT IN THEIR HIP POCKET.
Chicago, August 2(3: “Labor lead
ers, who attempt to sell politicians the
idea they are able to deliver or in
fluence to any great extent the vote of
organized labor at election time are
merely kidding themselves.
“It can’t be done. Like other
Americans the members of organized
labor vote according to their own dic
tates. And most important of all the
organized and unorganized workers
more readily understnd the “bread and
butter” language and adopt it in pref
erence to accepting the advice of
labor officials, who represent tho
American labor movement.”
These excerpts voice the views and
opinions of Richard J. Powers, who
was elected the first president of the
American Federation of Labor when
it was organized in Pittsburgh in 1881.
Mr. Powers visited Republican Nation
al Committee headquarters here and
offered his help in the Coolidge-Dawes
campaign. The veteran labor leader
has lived in Chicago for years. He is
a great friend and admirer of Samuel
Gompers and worked with him in the
work to launch the American Federa
tion of Labor. Mr. Powers was sue
ceeding in office by the man who is
now at the. a ad.
“When election time rolls around in
November," asserted Mr. Powers, “one
will see both organized and unorgan
ized workers voting enmasse for Cal
vin Coolidge and Charles Dawes.
“This LaFolletite hysteria that some
labor officials are trying to inoculate
into the working classes will simmer
out like the effervesence in a bromo
selzer long before election time. Signs
have already started to appear which
indicate that enthusiasm has begun to
wane in LaFollette’s various labor
camps. The workers are getting wiseJ
up to the entire program which means
absolutely nothing at nil to them un
less a period of slack times in the re
mote case of the program’s being sue
cessful.
“The working classes in the country
want a continuation of good times and
a full dinner pail. They realize that
anything that spells of LaFolletteisra
only means a four or six year period
of depression and that is something
they want to avoid.
“A glance over conditions in Europe
is sufficient to inform the workers in
this country the extent of good timer
here. High wages, employment and
now industrial unrest are a few of the
essential matters both organized and
unorganized classes of workers con
sider very vitally on election day.
“Under the Republican administra
tions of Harding and Coolidge the
working classes have enjoyed larf«r
measures of success. Last year build
ing construction in 269 cities amounted
to $3,099,694,905. And the significant
part is that the erection of privatp
garages far outnumber the construct
ion of any other kind of building. In
the residential line of construction
there were 211,235 one family build
iiflb erected while private garages
numbered 221,825. The sum expended
for the latter was $110,563,189; the
cost of the former amounted to $881 -
569,529.
“This tremendous building boor>,
which is i now going into the fourth
year, reaches back to ore mines and
other sources of industry and aids tin
workers there. Along with the build
ing boom conditions for the workers
in other industries are good. The
working classes receive a living wage
and are contented. And those factors
ir. the final analysis have more effect,
on the workers’ vote than advice from
the officialdoms of some labor«»gan
izations.”
Mr. Powers asserted that William
Lee, head of the brotherhood of train
men, reflected the true status of the
political situation when he said that
labor leaders don’t carry the votes of
their union members in their back
pockets.
“The chief of the trainment spoke
the truth in that matter and also hit
the nail on the head when he said it
was an insult to the rank and file of
trade unionism to have leaders posing
around basking in the limelight) under
the false impression of being able to
deliver the vote of organized labor.
“Labor leaders knew only too well the
absurdity of their claims but are will
ing to advance them if the public press
and politicans are ready to dicker on
that basis.”
