been brought by the management
of its foreign affairs into contempt
everywhere and that the people were
tired of the situation, but jiat sub
sequentstatements of the president
and Governor Cox and Secretary
Roosevelt's declaration that "their
splendid accord and their high pur
poses are an inspiration" left no
doubt -in the public mind that they
were in complete agreement on the
league of nations issue.
Governor Coolidge said that while
the issues of the present campaign
have not yet been fully' developed,
the conclusion appears unmistake
able that the country "is not onlv
weary of but completely exhausted
by and disgusted with all doctrin
aires and all visionaries. It is de
termined to seek restoration not by
deserting its ideals, but by turning
to ' the substantial and practical.
There is everywhere an unyielding
determination that America must be,
