Enemies of Senator Want
Coolidge to Enter Califor
nia Primary — Experts
Call It Poor Politics.
Fear Favorite Son Vote
By MARK ST IXI VAN.
Washington, Dec. 2S.—The manag
ers of Coolldge's campaign are being
urged to enter the California pri
maries and contest against Hiram
Johnson In the latter's home state.
Ordinarily, this Is regarded as un
wise strategy. Experienced politicians
aay of It that it Is spectacular but
it is not politics. It Is like fighting
too hard for a single trick and losing
eight of the game as a whole. Men
have lost the presidency because their
managers Indulged themselves in the
luxury of making a show against
their opponents in the opponent's
home territory. One of the elements
that contributed to General Woods
failure In 1920 was the fact that his
managers had fought against Harding
in the latter's home state of Ohio.
Fighting a candidate In his own
stato has, among It's other fllsad
vantages, the tendency to build up a
condition of Implacable resentment
among all the delegates of the man
whose territory is invaded. The re
sult is that, when the convention
leaches the point where second
Miholy# are important, the Invader Is
Buffer the handicap of a determination
Xn the part of considerable bodies
of delegates to vote for anybody
rather than for the Invader. Of
course as It now looks, the next re
publican convention will never reach
the stage where second choices count,
■because apparently the only two ma
jor candidates will be Coolidge and
Johnson, with I.a Follette in a very
minor position. Nevertheless, this
lineup may change.
Johnson Enemies Active.
Most of the pressure on Coolldge’s
managers to oppose Johnson in Cali
fornia comes from Johnson's enemies
in that state. Some experienced poli
ticians point out that while this has
superficially the, appearance of these
men offering to do Coolidge a favor,
the essential fact is they are asking
Coolldge's managers to take a risk
In order to do them a favor. They
want to make a fight against Johnson
for their own local purposes; and nre
asking Coo.idge to let them use his
name and popularity for their local
advantage.
Another disadvantage to Coolidge
In entering California lies In the na
ture of the California primary law
The California delegates will be in
structed, not by districts, hut by the
state as a whole. That is to say,
every republican voter In the state
will cast his ballot for Coolidge or
for Johnson. The result Is that CopI
Idge, to win anything, must win
everything. He must get all the 2''
California delegates or none of them
In orfler to win at all, he must get
b majority,of all the republican voters
B •’>^state.
l7wJe>iis differs from the law In Cool
ldge's homo state of Massachusetts,
where Johnson can concentrate on
one or two districts, and by winning
them, make a showing against Cool
idge In the latter's home state. This
is possible under the Massachusetts
law. although In the present state of
feeling In Massachusetts It 1» not
probably that Johnson could carry
as much as one district there.
Reasoning Fantastic.
Among the reasons urged for Cool
Idge to enter California is that if he
stays out of the home state of one
candidate, he would have to show the
same courtesy to all others, and that
If a sufficient number of favorite
sons should arise. It would leave Cool
idge with too small a majority of
the delegates to he safe. At present
this reasoning seems fantastic, for
there is no strong prospect of any
considerable number of favorite sons.
Another reason urged is that Cool
ldge's entering California would com
pel Johnson to spend much of his
time In his home state, and keep hltn
from making the speeches, which are
his most effective weapon, in other
states.
Some prudent advocates of Coolidge
are advialng strongly against his en
tering California. They say that
whatever iny now seem to be the low
state of Johnson's present fortunes
in his home state, there Is no telling
how local state pride might come to
' ' son's help In a state where local
is stronger than In perhaps any
Another reason urged Is that
for c^l?lldge to Invade Johnson's own
state might add just enough to other
factors to Irritate Johnson to the
point where he might feel he would
have Justification to bolt the ticket.

50,000,000 Marks
Come on Letter
Bucyrus, O., Dec. 29.—Stamps rep
resenting 50,000.000 marks were af
fixed to a letter recently received by
a local resident from relatives in Ger
many. Another citizen here received,
from a relative In Germany, one of
rL tvjy good standard 10 pfennig
jSeme tenth of a mark—on which
printed the statement that It is
tequal In value to 2.38 rents of an
American dollar, Indicating that the
I new gold standard money In Germany
Is valued the same as the prewar
mark, whlclj was 23.8 cents.

German Marks Used
for Confetti at Rites
By Associated Tress.
(Jeneva, Dec. 29.—A young couple
married at Beinwil, In the Conton
of Argovie, had money showered up
on them If not rlchee, for their
friend* found It cheaper to throw
German bank notes over them in
stead of the usual confetti.
The village children after depar
ture of the motor picked up the notes
and went home ‘‘millionaire*'.'' Ger
man mark notes have In many Swiss
cafes replaced wallpaper.
Churches Need ;
Publicity, Says
L. A. Preacher!
_
Must Employ Same Methods
as Theater, Only on More
Dignified Scale,
View.
Los Angeles, Cat., Dec. 29.—Now
comes the recognition of publicity ty
the key to success for the modern
church.
“The church which does not ad
vertise fails to discharge Its full duty
to mankind."
That statement was made here by
Dr. Bruee Brown, pastor of the South
Park Christian church.
“The modem church is an in
tricate organization, second not
even to the highly organized business
projects with which we are all famil
iar,” Dr. Brown said. "Why, then,
should we not exploit the organiza
tion similarly to the way big busi
ness is exploited, especially when we
know that we have something to offer
the public which is so far and in a
way more valuable than any com
modity that any business house can
supply?
"We spend years of patient effort,
thousands of dollars and work from
dawn until dark to perfect our or
ganization and enlarge our field. To
secure a maximum of benefit to the
people at large through this wonder
ful organization we must advertise

Must Advertise.
'The bulletin boards which one
sees before almost every church are
not enough. They reach but a small
percentage of the local population.
Ws must aim to reach the great
public, the entire community, with
our message. Consequently we must
advertise in the newspapers.”
Dr. Brown then contrasted the
' churches and the theaters and
dwelt on the exploitation of the
theatrical offerings. _
"Theaters somehow very subtly
seem to lie able to give the public
whnt it wants. They please, and
their customers come again. The
sumo principle, on a more dignified
baBis, of course, wl'.l some day be
incorporated in church exploitation."
“How far,” the minister was
asked, "should the church go In
I competing with the popular attrac
tions of the day?”
•'It is as Impossible,” he answered,
"for the church to compete with
popular attractions, as It would be
for a college to compete with a circus.
The church is not here to please,
but to denounce evil and convert
men who sin. and to set before the
people a great and difficult task
"The moat pathetic thing in the
religious world today is the preacher
who gets a mob by cudgeling hia
brains for some outlandish subject
to appeal to the popular mind with
freakishness. One or two preachers
In a large city succeeds in filling
their oudito ruins, but they do not
enhance the value of the church by
such methods.”
