It is due to I some extent to a feeling of I stability, a feeling that the re- I construction of America's ec onomic life following the war has come to a steady, upward, but assured pace. There is I an air of progress, of things moving, of unrest dispelled, of great opportunity. He would be blind who Haw no discontent, no symptom* of poli- I tleal upheaval |n the years to i.lf the West Is left to hear It* own protesting voice a* the err is raised for a lower tsrlfT or ? reduction In freight rate?. President Coolldge ban achieved a considerable strength on the ?roi M well as the cities of the We? but It would be a mlatake for bis supporters and advisers to laterprst the votes that will be east In his direction as due entlre Ijr to the enthusiasm of approval. ?It is in a sense a passive acquies cence, a belief in things as they aro. In the mslntenance of the status quo but with It a hope for the future. The West Is changing. Co-op ormtlve marketing. diversified farming. Improved methods of production, better credit facilities, motor transportation all have played their part. The political parties have been torn by local strife and the wounds of the ever lasUns controversy between con servatives and radicals. Persons mean more than Issues as a fac tor in the balloting. President Coolldge's strength With the voters of the West is n curious thing. It was the same West which threw Its hat In the air for the rip-roaring cowboy. WO irrepressive T. R.. of 1912 Aad today the West silently but Jttst as effectively utters Its favor for the rugged, honest, simple, uaassumlng plain man of the New Bas land hills. ^John W. Davis Is always well ?POken of. Hla apeechea are com manded snd his record Is ap plauded but the West regards him as of the seme school of thought ?f President Coolldge on moet of the important isauea of the day. The emphasis placed on LaFol at the left side of the politi cal scene and Coolldge on the right, hsa meant s shunting to one sWs of Dsvls. Western sentiment which clamored for McAdoo has not accepted Davla as a substitute. This Is not the rsult of Davis. It to because his record was not that of McAdoo who stood for high yies on the rsllroads. a record Of achievement In office with re spect to sgrlcultursl credits, and. senerslly spesklng. s liberal rad leal. Ho would hsve carried many Western state* but not all Of them. The favorable economic oondltlon helps the party In pow er. Had McAdoo been nominated. Senator LaFollette probably would have thought twice about an Independent campaign as the railroad brotherhoods would have supported McAdoo financially and otherwlae. His name was a sym bol of what they stood for. As director general of railroads he was responslbln for the very things which the railway em ployes are today striving to pre serve or Insure with respect to Congressional aot as they demon strate their political power In the LaFollette vote. The LaFollstte movement calls Itself "progressive" and argues that It Is the Inheritor of the Bull Moose spirit of 1911. It has many progressives In Its ranks. There Is no doubt about that. It has a platform with progressive doctrine, but the writer found the LaFollette movement In the West aothlng more nor less than a pro test movement. It la not to be taken any less seriously for thst rsaeon for Its cspsclty to affect the political probelms of the sext few years cannot be underestimat ed. But snslyslng the component parts of the LaFollette campaign, one finds It consists of those farmers who have had Ill-fortune aad have not been sble to recoup through one yesr of good crops, railway employes who sre flght fMBL ?alnst the rsllwsy executives ??i those who would tear down advantages labor achieved S the wsr. snd flnslly Oer _ who see In LeFollett* an ?rtunlty to express their era ?*e to one who voted and ar sgslnat the wsr when the 0 country wss entering the hi with Impsssloaed energy m? program of soclsl wslfsrr. t specific proposals of coneretr , as a solution of the many questions of the day. only Ml to the man who Imsg --mself the under dog. the 1 ^bo hsa loat confidence In [ personnel of Government for ? reason or snoth'r. snd laatly man with a grievance --this 1?
