...President can take his choice. 1) To sign it would seem to repudiate every statement he has made on farm relief, would vex his own section of the country and party, would destroy his alleged reputation as a strong silent man. The farm bloc says that President Coolidge can quell revolt in his party and gain enough popularity in the West to be re-elected in 1928, if he signs. But it is a fact that many farmers dislike the McNary-Haugen experiment; and it is an assumption that President Coolidge wants to run again in 1928. The President could...
Democrats, tickled, cheered for more speeches by Dr. Butler, pointed to the fact that he had recently visited President Coolidge. Republicans chided meddlesome Dr. Butler for hinting at his own 1928 "availability." Senator Borah offered to quell him in a debate on Prohibition. Leslie M.

Skirmishing continued throughout the week, and recalled the virtual war waged by retiring President Bernardes during 1924-25 against various perpetually rebellious factions in the provincial states. The Government announced last week with regret that in view of this fresh mutiny the "state of siege" declared at Rio de Janeiro in 1924 to permit censorship of the press...
...Indiana grocery clerk, a locomotive fireman, who became the organizer of the American Railway Union, who twice made the nation feel the fist of unionized labor. The second time was the great strike against the Pullman Co. in 1894 when President Cleveland had to despatch troops to Chicago to quell the riotous bloodshed. Eugene Debs and three others, indicted for conspiracy against the Government, were successfully defended by Clarence S. Darrow. Later Mr. Debs defied an injunction?and that is why he found himself in Woodstock. One day he had a visitor, Socialist Victor L. Berger. The visitor left...
