There arc many similar morons. Our high spirited Congress was outraged when President Coolidge vetoed five bills, and four of the bills were repassed over his veto, an unusual out- liurst, so .car to u national dee-j tiuii. You will notice that the bill I that was NOT repassed over the Coolidge veto was the Mc-Nary-iraugen bill, supposed to relieve farmers. Many of our legislators voted for that bill to make friends H home, and voted for it only because they were' sure the i'resident would veto it. Many of them also would have vetoed it, had they been President and equipped with the necessary amount of courage.
