You will surely wish to read this week's issue -of THE LITERARY DIGEST, on the news-stands today. The leading article presents the record of the President and his party in the present Congress. The strange sight of a party leader whose party majority in Congress has done so many things he didnt want done, and refused to do most things he wanted done, is rendered stranger by the fact that the success of the Republican party in the fall elections hinges upon its support of this same chief. This article shows the subject from all angles, including also the opinions of Democratic'newspaper editors. Tublic opinion East, West, North, and South is represented.

While the Raleigh News and Observer declares that "the propaganda to make Coolidge better than his party is well greased and well oiled," the Philadelphia Public Ledger believes that "the country has discovered that Coolidge's stock is not in the show-windows, but that, it is sufficient to' meet all demands on it."
