...Grover Cleveland drank. Calvin Coolidge does not. In many another way the two-term Democrat and the two-term Republican differ. Cleveland is the first President whom Calvin Coolidge can remember. A word unites them. It is perhaps Calvin Coolidge's favorite: "character." He keynoted it in a recent speech (Armistice Day). He has used it in nearly every speech. Last week, regretting his inability to make a speech on the 90th anniversary of Grover Cleveland's birth, he used it: "Character . . . stability . . . efficiency...
...onetime Democrat, he became Secretary of the Treasury in a Republican administration. As such, he financed the first war which the U.

One of Judge Lindsey's minor assistants asked the precinct-tsar to "look after Ben out there," and paid him $25. The vote-counters counted the votes to make the answer come out right, and Judge Lindsey, among others, was elected. His opponent, one Royal...

Remained, however, for some U. S. citizens the glamorous thought that some day they may be able to obtain in Canada that other commodity denied to U. S. citizens, a peerage...
