A ge neral awakening nmong t he votoro of the country as to the need of an lamodi e te Blld broa d ••organization of tho a r chaic ndmi i ietrntivo mnchinory of tho g OYernment und the business methode of the CongrODB affords an opportunity to :;ena tor llurdll•g u nd Governor Cool idge for conetruott ve lea dersh ip. The oooupy a strateg ic position never in modern times a ccorded to an adminis­tra tion, for th ey combine a Senate and House apparently of the enme pol1t1 0!ll faith wi t h n demand on the part of tho~ public that ac tion be taken for tho m t l onal rot or than t ill partioao good .
