TO ALL LOYAL REPUBLICANS There is not, in any observing man's mind, the least reasonable doubt that Calvin Coolidge will be the presidential nominee of the Republican party. That nomination seems now as certainly assured as if the delegates to the national convention already had cast their ballots and the result had been declared by the presiding officer. Only some such tragedy as that which befell the loved and lovable Harding, suddenly stricken when his presidential power was ripening to its utmost, can prevent the nomination of the man who has succeeded him under the constitution. As surely as President Coolidge lives until the Republican National convention assembles, that surely will he be made the Republican party's presidential nominee. Happily for the party, that certainty squares with every consideration of political expediency. It fits exactly with every moral and strategic requirement of the situation. It is fortunate for the party and for the country, the interest of which are in this instance inseparable, that this should be in fact the case—that the man who SHOULD be nominated is the very man whose nomination already is assured. The Republican Party should nominate Calvin Coolidge as its presidential candidate as a matter of principle. He has revealed qualities that preemently fit him for the presidency. He has steadily grown in public confidence ever since, as Governor of Massachusetts, under the test of searching conditions, he showed a moral courage and an indomitable spirit that awakened the admiration of every real American. He has proved himself to be a wise, prudent, firm executive, moved to judgment by consideration of justice and patrotism alone and governed in action by an inflexible resolution to do what is right. His whole demeanor since his succession to his high office has confirmed that hopes that were built upon his to the Republican National Convention already can be counted upon for Coolidge in reasonable certainty. Everywhere party leaders are declaring him to be the party's only logical candidate. Everywhere that the voice of the rank and file finds expression the demand for Coolidge is unmistakably sounded. Long before the convention meets a majority of the delegates will have been instructed in his behalf. The calling of the roll of states will be but a formality. In respect of the presidency, the convention will be less a nominating convention than a ratification meeting, called to set the seal of official procedure to the choice of Coolidge already declared by the party. California will not sqander its superb opportunity to enroll itself among the Coolidge states. THE STATE TREASURY The efforts of certain political fish to find something on which they can base a calumny against the Richardson administration are responsible for many a slip tending to spoil a Roman holiday. Note the eagerness with which the yellow press and its following of swordfish, cuttlefish, lobsters and crabs swallow bait, hook and line in the recent story attempting to show a financial crisis in the state treasury which was said to be due, in some way to the economy budget. They foll upon that bit of information with shrieks of joy. They glorified in the prospect of bankruptcy. But alas and alack, and a few other things besides. The threatened shortage did not occur. Old man Budget merely turned over and took an extra roll out of the other pocket. Now the lugubriousness will have to be laid away in moth balls to be ready for the next occasion. The calamity howlers of the yellows are having a hard time to make any of their sensations stick. Even the bigot economy budget Gone and bankrupt! Of course prove that save buckrupt the trunk will do for an end when economy wont be the fashion taxes that millions lie idle in the treasury paid interest once was withdrawn business and so nation of trade pretty piled up way this reminding given for levying could not be done cost of levy tax was so great seeds were required Massachusetts, under the test of searching conditions, he showed a moral courage and an indomitable spirit that awakened the admiration of every real American. He has proved himself to be a wise, prudent, firm executive, moved to judgment by consideration of justice and patrotism alone and governed in action by an inflexible resolution to do what is right. His whole demeanor since his succession to his high office has confirmed that hopes that were built upon his remarkable record and strengthened his leadership. He has inspired public confidence in himself in an extraordinary degree. There is general recognition of the fact that in these troubled days of still continuing post-war readjustments, a mere popularity seeker, chancing by whatever accident upon the presidency, might easily through his incapacities and unfitness for the place, ruin our prosperity. Before the dawn of the day following President Harding's death, Mr. Coolidge declared, in a statement addressed to the people: "He was my chief and my friend. It will be my purpose to carry out the policies which he has begun for the service of the American people and for meeting their responsibilities wherever they may arise." Thus President Coolidge became not merely President Harding's successor, but the inheritor of the policies of his administration. A change has been wrought in executives, but the continuity of purpose remains unaltered. So clearly do the people recognize this fact, so generally is President Coolidge accepted as the exponent of Harding's policies, that a failure to nominate him would be equivalent to a repudiation of Harding's whole administration, coupled with a declaration that Coolidge is a failure as an executive. How could the Republican party hope for success if it appealed to the country with another candidate and such a confession upon its lips? It would be as if it said: "We admit that we have failed to make good with either Harding or Coolidge and on that record ask you to trust judgment again." Every consideration of principle requires that Coolidge shall nominated. Every consideration of political expediency leads to the same requirement. Nominating any other candidate the Republican party might as well abandon in the convention any hope of success at the polls. The country would accept at its face value... Every consideration of principle requires that Coolidge shall nominated. Every consideration of political expediency leads to the same requirement. Nominating any other candidate the Republican party might as well abandon in the convention any hope of success at the polls. The country would accept at its face value the party's implied confession of failure. If the Republican party itself, through the nomination of another candidate, should assert the unworthiness of its own administration, the country would take it at its word. Fortunately these conditions stand clearly revealed in the sight of loyal Republicans everywhere throughout the nation, and every where organization is in prosperous progress looking to the protection of the party's welfare. Leaders like Senator Moses of New Hampshire who had been looked to prayerfully by radicals to be all that his name implies—in leading the hosts to the support of some candidate of their own kidney, have promptly declared themselves to be in favor of the nomination of Mr. Coolidge. Men of Senator Borah's stamp have declared that the nomination of Coolidge is not only desirable in itself but necessary from the standpoint of party policy. Never in so short a time were so many opposing elements drawn into union as have coalesced in the presence of the party's imperative need of making Coolidge its nominee. It is not strange, therefore, that a considerable majority of the delegates ANAHEIM GAZETTE economy budget has done to us! Gone and bankrupted the state treasury!" Of course, it is difficult to prove that saving money helps to barkrupt the treasury, but anything will do for an excuse. In the days when economy was a lost art it used to be the fashion to levy so much taxes that millions of dollars could lie idle in the treasury while the state paid interest on bonds. This money was withdrawn from the channels of business and so helped to create stagnation of trade, but it looked very pretty piled up in the treasury. Some way this reminds one of the reasons given for levying a certain tax. It could not be dispensed with because the cost of levying and collecting the tax was so great that the whole proceeds were required to pay it. MOUNTAIN LIONS AT WEESHA Sunday morning was a most exciting time at the Weesha Country Club. Two large mountain lions of the female species were trapped on the trail leading to the pasture just above the stables of the Weesha Club grounds, by Mr. Gillpatrick, caretaker of the Wallace ranch near Seven Oaks. He was given permission by President Charles Wagner to set his traps on the club grounds. The animals were fine specimens and measured five feet ten and five feet eight from tip to tip respectively. The male was seen Monday morning Mr. Gillpatrick is very proud of his catch and will receive a fine sum from the government, and also from any one who wishes to purchase the skins. Dr. Connelly formerly of Anaheim, purchased the larger one and will have it tanned. He and the trapper drove into San Bernardino this morning when the latter will receive his bouquet. The car attracted unusual attention as they drove through the towns and cities, as the bodies of the huge cats were tied on the rear end of the machine. SHE WANTS PEACE Mexico has had enough war to last her for a while. Probably that is why she has declined to join the league of nations. We think in America that we only need to feed the world away from us. Recent surveys have shown that there are over 4,000,000 school children in America who come under the mal-nourished group. This group does not necessarily fall among people who are very poor, but instead, children rich or poor may suffer from physical defects that hold back their effort to gain. These defects are corrected in the nutrition classes. A change is made out and kept like a temperature chart. The top line shows the weight the children should be for their height, and the bottom line the gain or loss in weight. Only one of these children in the group has gained because she followed the instructions the nutrition teacher gave her. Balanced diet, milk, plenty of rest, early to bed and not too much play, is part of the program.
