KANSAS CITY, Mo., June
12. The Coolidge leadership
was emblazoned on the banner
waved by Simeon D. Fess, of
Ohio, in delivering the keynote
speech today to the republican
national convention.
The Ohio senator tojd the
delegates that the nomination
and election of the president
"would be a foregone . conclu
sion did he not forbid," adding
that Coolidge "leaves office by
his own fiat, which appears to
be final and is so interpreted by
many of his friends."
Fess, one of the first to start
the "drat Coolidge" move
ment, wound up his ' address
with this ringing tribute to the
titular leader of the party: . ,
"This hold upon the confi
dence of the American people
of every name, class, and creed
without regard to partisan feel
ing, makes Calvin Coolidge the
greatest personal and political
force in the world."
Record Sufficient
Declaring that tho republican
party faced the country this your
standing squarely upon the -record
of Coolidge, the senator said that
the President's achievoiiient in ad
ministration "reflects a type, or
political leadership nt the head of
the government rarely experienced
in this or any. other country."
i "Few are his words, decisive
his judgments," he added. ' "His
comprehension of problems is
broad, his vision clear and his nc
t ion dauntless. H Is concept ion of
public duty forestalls the employ
ment of mere political texpedl
ehcy." Frm Aid Cited
As (o the all important question
of farm relief, which has become a
dominunt Issue In the campaign,
the Ohio senator said no one
should be in doubt of the purpose
of the party "to give this greatest
of industries every consideration
short of unbound proponals of gov
ernment stimulation of artificial
remedies which in the end , may
only add to our problems."
There was no specific mention
of the McNnry-Hanen farm relief
bill which Mr. Coolidge has twice
vetoed and about whlrh has cen
tered, the stubborn battle over the
agricultural question.
The Ohio Senator declared that
