CONFUSING ISSUE

; drawn into this campaign,” Mr.
Coolidge continued, “but the prob
lems are far to serious for one who
I smiles and amuses us to assume
| the presidency of this nation; we
cannot afford to experiment.
“Measured by his accomplish
ments, President Hoover holds a
I commanding rank. There can be
no doubt as to where his interests
i lay; he will safeguard, our interests
! ana he has demonstrated by his
i acts his clear understanding of our
| many problems.

! cause be has faith and courage to

right, where in contrast, the oppo
sition has made only vague and
weak proposals.
“I have taken this opportunity to
speak because I want my country
men to know what I think. The
! captain of our ship has guided us
safely through the storm to port,
and it is notime to discharge him
because he is charged with creat
ing that storm. Herbert Hoover is
the man for this emergency.”
