...Breaking his campaign silence, President Coolidge made public a letter last week saying that both he and Mrs. Coolidge expected to go home to Northampton, Mass., to vote for Senator William J. Butler and Governor Alvan T. Fuller. Of Senator Butler he said: "He stands on the Senate floor independent, beholden to no one, a Senator of Massachusetts, serving the people in the public interests. His presence there is of great importance to me in my efforts to discharge the duties of my office." Well might President Coolidge break his silence, for Senator Butler's re-election is seriously...

...Mass-hatred, doctrines of race-superiority, conflicts of color and religion are prevalent in the world today. And the last world struggle was a war to end war! Nations are now racing madly for the next war. It will mean the deathblow for Western civilization. Yet the trained intelligence of scientists has been devoted these last few years to the discovery of the best means of wholesale slaughter. Poison gas has been so perfected by their work that its use in the next war will mean racial murder. Cities will be blotted out as trenches were...
