PRESIDENTIAL TIMBER
. (Industrial Nqws Bureau)
Presidential elections used to be
ae<^>mpauied by business-' disturb
ances 'that sometimes reached the
catastrophe stage. Business faced
thf> presidential ? year with the trepi
dation of a man on his way to a
pagan holiday: not knowing if he
vyas to be stabbed, burned, hanged,
oY eaten. n iis
This year, there is small likelihood
of financial or social upheaval
The people are no longer unad- j
vised about fundamental bu.-iness !
a lid economic principles. ') he;,- ail!
demand that the next presint'ul h.
a safe, dependable man wi'.o can
carry on a program of businesslike
economy in government and who
will keep government a controllable,
dependable machine instead of a
hare-brained political madhouse, al
ways ready to sacrifice national pro
perity for political' expediency.
The next president might bear al
most any political label if he thinks
and acts along common sense; lines.
