Show A PRESIDENT OE THE PEOPLE The many utterances of President Coolidfee have long since become familiar fa-miliar to the people a. large. Tluy unfailingly touch popular sentimenc and have lasting qualities. A few short sentences in his address following fol-lowing his election may have escaped the notice of many persons by reason rea-son of their unobtrusiveness; but they are worthy of preservation: "I have no appeal except to the common com-mon sense of all the people. I have no pledge except to serve them. I have no object except to promote their welfare." As the utterances of the late President Wilson invariably shone with brilliant rhetoric, so do the t. iterances of Calvin Coolidge unfailingly un-failingly breathe in simple language a deep sense of obligation to his fellow-men a sincere friendly attitude toward: every station in life, such as characterized the utterances of Abraham Ab-raham Lincoln. |
