Washington. Oct. 29.—YA. P.) —
President Coolidge assured a group
'of advertisers, who called at the
"White House today, that he pro­
posed to maintain an administration
devoted to economy, peace and pros­
perity. “The government is a great
business institution, but it is more
than that; it is a great humanitar­

the welfare of all the people,” the
president said.
New York, Ort. 29—(A. P.) —

Chicago. Oct. 29.— (A. P l—Sec­

in a campaign speech tonight in be­
half of the republican national tick­
et, told a large audience tha*t "the
best assurance of prosperity in this
country is to secure on November 4.
the election of Calvin Coolidge.”
Secretary Hughes, devoting a
largo part of his address to a con­
sideration of proposals of the Lo

form. placed emphasis upon "the
most dangerous aim of the third
party — its attempt to destroy our
system of government by its assaults
upon the iur’sdfction of the supreme
court in the interpretation of the
constitution."
"The question, then." he said in
summing up to the point. "Is
whether we desire to maintain our
system of government, whether we
wish to have any constitutional lim­
itations.”
Secretary Hughes lauded the ac­
complishment of the present admin­
istration in fiscal affairs, in the
realm of foreign relationships, and
for its determined attack upon the
cost of government.
