"70 Years Experiel
Coolidge defeated Johnson two to one. The President was characterized by one of his backers in the convention as "the farmer boy who has done everything in his power for the farmer, largely the result of his practical experience in that profession/ 'and Senator Capper (Kans.), who was endorsed for Vice-Presi dent, was called "a big brother of the farmers, who should make an excellent mate for our esteemed Executive." This, agreed all the correspondents, made a deep impression on Republican circles in Washington and Mark Sullivan said in one of his syndicated dispatches that "every well-posted politician in both parties knows that just as Coolidge won, over Johnson in South Dakota and as McAdoo won over Ford, so would they win in four out of five of the States, If the test of strength came today." At the same time another veteran political observer and forecaster .David Lawrence, remarked that "defeating Hiram Johnson in an agricultural State, and in the section of the country in which it had been supposed the President would be weakest, is regarded by Mr. Cool-idge's friends as quite a feather in his cap." Almost identical conclusions are reached by Republican editors in almost every corner of the ceuntry, to say nothing of deeply impressed Democratic and Independent editors. First, in the capital of President Coolidge's own State, the Boston Transcript finds the South Dakota vote "truly a straw that shows the way the winds of popular opinion are blowing." In New Hampshire, which will be the first State to hold Republican primaries and where Senator Moses put himself on record for Coolidge last summer, the Manchester Union finds a "gratifying significance" in the South Dakota vote:
"Obviously the voters' hearts have warmed to a leader who spared his words, speaking only when he had something worth while to say, but who functioned in the executive office with the hand of a master. We have a further conviction that the average farmer in the United States is a pretty level-headed citizen, quite able to recognize the difference between a man who knows the farm problems from actual experience, and is determined to help them along exclusively practical lines, and one who knows little or nothing of farm conditions, but is vociferous in his promotion of impractical remedies."
In the nation's metropolis, the New York Herald is convinced by what has happened in South Dakota that "the President has taken a grip on the imagination of the American people," and in "up State" New York the Syracuse Post-Standard,
Troy Times and Troy Record are agreed that South Dakota's preference is a symptim of a nation-wide feeling. In Pennsylvania, which may have a "favorite son" of its own in the person of Governor Pinchot, the Philadelphia Bulletin finds a "cheering omen" for Coolidge in South Dakota vote. In the State which produced Mr. Coolidge's predecessor, and in which the Republican convention will be held, the Columbus Ohio State Journal says that South Dakota rather belies the theory "that the President is the candidate of the East and makes no appeal to the West." In the doubtful and pivotal State of Indiana the South Bend Tribune finds itself persuaded by the act of the South Dakota Republicans that "a person may be progressive in his thinking and yet prefer Coolidge to Johnson." In "Battling Bob's" progressively Republican State of Wisconsin, the Osnkosh Northwestern comes to the conclusion that Hiram Johnson, shrewd campaigner that h eis, "will have an up-hill fight in his effort to displace Coolidge in popular favor." In Min nesota, where the Farmer-Labor party defeated the Republicans in the last two Senatorial elections, the Minneapolis Journal avers that "the Coolidge candidacy is strengthened by this early evidence of the favor in which it stands in the Mid-Western State." In Iowa, a stalwart Republican State, which recently endorsed the Brookhart brand of radicalism, the Council Bluffs Nonpareil find plenty of reason to believe that the South Dakota vote "accurately represents the Johnson strength in Johnson territory." And across the Missouri in Nebraska, the Omaha Bee uses a couple of sports figures when it remarks that "the game is oav on and Coolidge has first down his credit." while "Hiram Johnson s lost the first fall, but that does not eliminate him as a contender." The Kansas City Journal finds the Coolidge victory extremely significant, for if Senator Johnson makes a poor showing in the West, "what can he be expected to do farther East?" In Kansas.Governor Allen's Wichita Beacon suggests that President Coolidge's views seem to be progressive enough for the Middle West—"perhaps the great plains area is getting just a little tired of the Magnus brand of yawp, and in its pendulum swing has gone clear over to the more conservative style." Jumping from the Mid-Western plains to the Pacific coast, we find the Portland Oregonian pouring forth a column o feditorial irony over the South Dakota tidings. It accepts the "Johnsonian misadventure in South Dakota" as proof that "a man may be talking through his
