Brook hart Victory to Iowa
Shows President Fast Losing
His Popularity.
NEXT CONGRESS WILL BE
AGAINST THE PRESIDENT
Farmers Are in Revolt Against
Administration Which OI*
fers Them No Relief.
Washington, D. C., June 14.—The
most discussed question in Washing
ton today is the significance of the
Brookhart victory in Iowa. It is re
garded here as one of the most re
markable political events in history.
It demonstrates among other things
l,*Mr. Coolidge is losing rapidly
' hl2.P^e^o^)le are sick of this do
t nothing Congress and the unfilled
■ platform pledges and promise* of
w this Administration. '
3. The power of, money and a dom
inant state machine can be overcome
by the proper sort of an educational
' compaign whereby the people can be
aroused to the real issues before them.
4. The next Congress undoubtedly
■will be predominantly anti-Coolidge.
5. The revolution within the Repub
lican party is on. ...
6. Democrats have the best oppor
tunity for a sweeping victory at the
polls this fall that they have had in
years. ,
As to the first thing it demonstrat
ed—Coming right on the heels- of the
defeat of Senators McKinley, Pepper
and Stanfield, all regular Coolidge
Republicans, it was the most shatter
ing blow to the President’s political
prestige he had yet encountered. Four
rock-ribbed Republican states, Ull*
• nois, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Iowa,
have shown that they not only think
little of Coolidge, the man, but feel
the same way about his Administra
tion and the way Congress has been
running things.
More clearly than the other results,
one observer contended, that in Iowa
shows the Coolidge strength is not to
be relied upon, the Coolidge propa
ganda-built is an evanescent thing,
the Coolidge leadership of his party a
This, might be warded off to some
extent by the passage of real farm
relief legislation at this session of
Congress. But the outlook foj this
appears dark. Eastern Republicans
are in control. Like Mr. Coolidge,
they do not have the Westerner’s point
of view and they don’t care a hang
about -his trouble or about helping
him out of his difficulties.
Democratic leaders everywhere are
expressing' encouragement over the
outlook for victory at the polls this
fall. The typical Democratic view
point is found / in the statement of
Representative William A, Oldfield,
the Chairman of the Democratic Na
tional Congressional Committee, im
mediately after the results of the
Iowa primary became known. He said:
“The overwhelming defeat of Sen
ator Cummins yesterday was the most
severe blow yet dealt this Adminis
tration. Following on the heels of
the defeat of Pepper, McKinley, and
Stanfield, it shows that the revolution
within the Republican-party is on.
\ From the Atlantic to the Pacific, from
Pennsylvania to Oregon, returns from
the Republican primaries are all tell
ing the same story..
. Y “This Administration has not en
acted andt will not enact farm relief
legislation. The first step toward this
*end is for the Western farmers and
their representatives in Congress to
^ Join with the Democrats in bringing
B about a downward revision of the tar
iff on the things the fanners have to
!■' hoy. <

publicans can have but one signifi
cance. It shows clearly that the Dem
ocrats will win a sweeping victory at

Temporary street signs have been
placed on all streets in Asheboro and
more than eighty-five per cent of the
residences and business houses of the
town have been numbered in prepara

be inaugurated July 1st. The only
thing lacking is the mailboxes and
perhaps the main reason why these

of the property owners to obtain them.
The people of the town responded
readily to the' request of the city and
postal authorities to number their
houses. They will no doubt place
mail boxes with the same readiness.
In fact, mail will not be delivered te
any home or business house that does
not have some resceptacle provided
