* Mid America, Oct. 15.?There is sometluni; hopeful, some
thing buoyant about the spirit of the West today which finds
its reflex in politics, of course, but which makes the wayfar
er feel the throb of evor-urov/in^ confidencc thr.t the dark
days of depression have passed and that the dawn of a pros
perous tomorrow has come.
it is not altogether due to I
the rise in the prices of agri I
cuKuraI~produuts or the?fat?I
vorable crops. 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

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

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

Men are something like elephants
It has been said that an elephant will remember for
~5tt years the man who gives it n plug of tobacco??
We've heard of a man who, because he received a
short dollar's worth three years ago in New York
has never since even condescended to read a New
York newspaper.
Men have good memories even tho' they sometimes
forget to mail their wives' letters!
In the past two weeks we have sold more Michaels
Stern Overcoats than in any month in a previous
year?this is because the memory of the Michaels
Stern coats we sold two years ago is still in good
shape even tho' the fashion is out of style.
